"As to what your work as an Irish Republican is to be, I cannot conjecture; I know what mine is to be, and would have you know yours, and buckle yourselves to it. And it may be, (nay it is,) that yours and mine will lead us to a common meeting place, and that on a certain day we shall stand together, with many more beside us, ready for a greater adventure than any of us has yet had, a trial and a triumph to be endured and achieved in common." Padraig Pearse.
I read on a university site something fascinating. It was called one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. It asked the reader to determine if the act was terrorism or not. Great examples. I can think a few that would apear in opisite paper. Like this one The people of this land dont care for our leaders liberate them. We help build thier houses, and ships, and help protect them ang tend to thier crops. We ask for compensation. They refuse. At first they would insult our soldiers, then they would throw rocks at them, poar tar, n father on them, winter time was worse. They would hide tocks in snow, and pelt us. So barbaric. They desteoyed our loyal helpers lands, n farms, n houses, they would steal from us, kill those who were loyal to us and go abord our ships. They stole what our ships had, n 2 other ships that werent ours. Now they claim we start a war, when we just defend our subjects. Of course this is the point of view of a British regular durring our revolution. We were terrorists to them. All the things written we did back then. So yes in the end the people decides.
I, and so many others, watch ST: TNG, regularly. I am glad they didn't censor (US), in this case. However, only the producers know what ends up on the cutting room floor. "Live long and prosper."
does anyone know how much Erskine Childers etc. paid for these Mausers?, came across an 1907 Edition of a Hamburg arms dealer catalog guy called Adolf Frank
Mae'r ffilm yma yn ffilm bach da ac yn angenrheidiol rwan ac Arwisgiad III ar y gorwel. This is a good little film and much needed now with Investiture iii on the horizon.
It reminds me of the struggle of EOKA here in Cyprus. The English left us no other way than an armed struggle against their colonial army, for the unification with mother Hellas. They lied to us, broke their promises and utterly ignored the referendum where 95,71% voted for union with Greece. Armed conflict was the only way.
This is not banned on the vhs copies or DVD. I love how this makes you think and question society. They deliberately do not want people to think today. Thus the new crap reboots.
I love Data's question here, but I've always been bothered by how Picard evades. I do get that it's an uncomfortable subject, *_and_* I get that they're trying to illustrate that Picard doesn't have all the answers. But I still always wished Picard focused more on "Data, this is a complex topic with no easy answer" (etc) rather than quickly pivoting and patting Data on the back for becoming more human.
Ecuador 2019, Venezuela, 2019. Blame BS, evangelists-- most poison planted in the USA. USA cits CAN leave. But not easy. The USA has you AS TAX SLAVES.
i see a lot of people loosely throwing around the word "terrorism" here. even the series itself (if not necessarily this episode) is frequently guilty of misusing this word. additionally, a lot of people, including the episode's author, keep bringing up the american revolution as though it were an example of terrorism. but the american revolution did not actually involve any terrorism. there's an important distinction between "terrorism" and most other forms of armed rebellion, and while its certainly possible for a rebellion to involve terrorism, it doesnt automatically imply it. terrorism is where people indiscriminately attack innocent civilians and bystanders in order to intimidate or "terrorize" a population. an armed uprising or rebellion such as that which occurred in the american revolution is different in that the violence was specifically aimed at the government they were revolting against and armed forces or other government officials that were sent by that government. to my knowlege, no one on the american side of that conflict snuck over to england to kill innocent citizens in order to intimidate the crown.
I just watched the episode recently on Netflix, I don't understand how it's been 'banned'? Is it just in the EU or something? Also yes, I LOVE TNG personally. They have already covered just about every kind of controversy that had come up or even WILL come up in our society.
The American Revolution The end of the Palestinian Protectorate. The Spanish Civil War. The Break The Bones destruction of the Intifiada of 1998 The Afghan expulsion of Russian Occupation.... The list of successes of terrorism is literally endless.
I am an American of over 1/3 Irish heritage, and half English ancestry. I have visited beautiful Ireland. The tragic events of the years of The Troubles, especially that of Bloody Sunday, break and sicken my heart. Violence solves nothing, and leaves only death, tears and anger in its wake. RIP to all the innocent dead. I hope with all my heart that it never happens again.
If only the 9/11 planes were travelling faster they might have killed more people or the lorries in Germany had bombs inside so they could explode and get even more people in the Christmas marketplaces. Same for the Manchester attacks, they could have secretly wedged the doors closed so no one could escape. In fact if your daughter is on a hiking trip with her best mate from university wouldn’t it be great to see some videos of her quiet and scared like she can’t believe this is happening and confused wondering why her. Then after the prayers to Allah .... seeing them happy with themselves that another enemy of god has fallen.. I take it at least some of you are offended by what I just said? But to those saying one mans terrorist is another’s freedom fighter is disgusting, and idiotic. Government may call actual freedom movements terrorist and vis versa but that doesn’t make it so. And it’s very clear what Terrorism is and what Freedom fighting is. The lines may blur and the subject is bigger than a comment on RU-vid but it’s a very clear definition. The president of Uganda Yoweri Museveni summed it up nicely in his speech to the UN general assembly.. And I think we can ALL agree that there’s a massive difference between a man planting a bomb outside a army camp or overpowering the military who are conducting martial law of your county and forcing the government to step down and a man planting a bomb inside a concert full of music lovers or driving a vehicle into pedestrians on a busy London street or cutting the head off a young university girl who’s only crime is not keeping her bedroom tidy... I case anyone is really stupid my first part of this comment was sarcasm and I was trying to make put out that all those horrible things were ok because they were done by poor courageous freedom fighters not terrorist, And if you can’t see the clear difference then...
Big difference between a people gaining back their independence from an oppressor and others causing terror for the simple reason to control and oppress others or for monetary gain or to just murder.
Damn... Yeah, terrorism as a positive is controversial enough, but why they would choose to touch an issue such as the troubles in Ireland is beyond me.
Never subscribed to the notion that political power flows from the point of a gun??? ALL ploitical power is based on the threat of force. What a shallow and niave...or even moronic statement...
Terrorism inclusive of brainwashing indoctrination through religious ideology by people of Abrahamic Faiths/Religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) has been ongoing for centuries.
