This leaves us witht the issue whether or not everyone else should take more responsibility in their actions on these issues. But then you get the whole "guns/bigotry don't kill people; people do" argument, so we're back where we started.

It's hard to see a way out sometimes.

The two teams seem closer than ever and the two sets of fan(ny)s seem further apart cos of the biggotry nonsense.

I'll be able to vote at the next election and and if it came down to it I'll probably vote for the party that promises a solution whatever it is and not just a table.

The problem is the Catholic/Protestant division is still pretty wide.

Reading an Irish-American newspaper the other day, I read that a 19-year old Catholic was murdered in Belfast seemingly because he was wearing a Celtic shirt.

It's a real shame.

me and my rangers mate were discussing this in rather more detail than you usually do in a forum. The pope in the late 17th centuary supported william and many of the williamite army were catholic, we both agreed on that so from that point on the theory behind the sectarian comments doesn't make much sense.

I must admit if there was a test on this I would fail it as I'm not certain about all the facts as they are pretty uninteresting facts anyway.

Many catholics were in William's army because many of the Catholic countries in continental Europe (I think France was one) wanted him to win. Why this was the case I don't know.

the pope was definately on williams side he gave him his support.

did anyone see that program a few weeks ago with roger moore the bond guy about the church of rome during the cold war and it was all spys and the usual spy stuff you associate with spys like killing everyone, the usual.
