ireland..

suspect maybe it was never shown here.

bakery.

actually i make all my life decisions based on situations
from Scooby Doo, asking myself 'what would Scooby do?'
whenever a problem arises. i find it works rather well.

its alright. it's important that you don't forget your
cenobite avatar but just know you'll maybe find new and
better ones in the future. they'll not be quite the same,
but this is how you grow as a person. i love you.

It's not THAT stupid. It's almost like you're looking at a
cartoon and expecting it to explain the whole situation in
depth. I mean, on a basic level the conflict in Northern
Ireland is over religion between Protestants and Catholics.
I guess in a cartoon you don't want to have super detail
about something like that which kids wouldn't understand.
Captain Planet is a pretty lame cartoon, yes, but the basic
message that the fighting in Ireland is stupid IS true,
because it is stupid.

And they also fit in a message about how nuclear bombs are
bad, so they killed two birds with one stone! ;)

I was taking the piss when i said "the troubles up north
explained". I never expected to glean proper historical fact
and insight from a cartoon, let alone a cartoon such as
captain planet. i just think it's funny.

your summary of the conflict up north i find far more
offensive and condescending.

British come. Everyone wants them to go away. They don't.
They have kids. Kids born in Northern Ireland are Northern
Irish. Uh oh!

Points: 5733 Status: Addict



yes. there was plenty of colonialism shit ages ago.

but what about the bit where the IRA bombing random towns
and hotels and killing loads of innocent people, either
because they have differing political opinions, or for their
religion, or just for the hell of it

and the unionists probably do the same sort of stuff too.
i'm not biased either way. all that stuff sounds pretty
stupid

so it's not a conflict between the protestants and
catholics? I said at a basic level that's what it is. I know
I don't know everything about it, but I really didn't think
it was a conflict between Africans and Australians!

erm.... i think it was the nuclear element and "beat up
people for their names" element that took the piss. i love
the way all american stuff about it is like, "we're here to
stop the violence"..and.."get the brits out and give them
back their land"...as if they're a bunch of fucking red
skinned indians with totem poles.
