You do realise that Northern Ireland isn't the same country it was 20+ years ago right? Have you ever even been there before?
I have. It was the weirdest place I've ever been in my life.
I was at a media party. The people there were all in their mid twenties. All what you'd regard as hipsters. The topic of conversation came around to weed and everyone started to go on about how much they loved weed and how great it was, etc. etc. etc.
At the time, I used to smoke weed. So I said, um, I've got some here. Would you mind if I rolled a joint? (This was back in the mid 90's so smoking indoors was still a thing at the time. The majority of people in the room were smoking cigarettes.) Nobody objected, so I rolled a joint.
Immediately, everybody started looking at me like I'd dropped my pants and taken a shit on the floor. Nobody took a hit on that joint. Not a single person beside myself. Even weirder, nobody spoke to me for the rest of the evening.
I don't mind that people don't want to smoke weed. I don't smoke myself any more. I don't think it's big or cool -- it's a bit fucking dumb. But why would you pretend to be cool with it if you aren't? If their boss was at the party and they didn't want the boss to see them smoking weed, that's fine. Have a quiet word. But I don't think that was the case. Were they worried about informers? Who knows?
But sure, I haven't been there since the mid 90's. I'm sure it's changed. But not so much that they can manage to get a functioning political system up and running. Not so much that people didn't vote the gangster terrorists into power while letting the SDLP -- a left wing democratic party who sought a solution that didn't involve slaughtering innocents -- wither and die for lack of support.
So I'm sure younger people will claim that they're cool with the gays now. And perhaps they are. But they're still a nation of retards who will happily continue to vote a gang of savage fucking gangsters into power ... because ooh-ahh-up-the-fucking-ra!
The sooner we cast them off into the Irish sea and let them all stand on their own two feet, the better. (And I say this as a third gen Irish migrant, my wife is second gen.)
