[lewism247]

What do you think of Ex-PM Margret Thatcher, the Iron Lady?

Not a very good example of a female PM.

I'm Scottish and pro IRA.Go figure.

Do you happen to be retarded aswell?

Nope.My IQ is above average.

Also,look at my previous comments on the second page.

You do have to admit that Britain did do some bad things in Ireland though.

You don't care?

I does make a difference that i supported the original IRA,not the newer one.The original were regarded as a freedom fighter group.

Am I the only Escapist who likes her? Personally I'd be depressed if she died, all tears and ice-cream.

I'm glad it's only someone's cat, not the Awesomest Best Ultra Conservative Prime Minister of Rich People. She scared damn near everybody, she just ploughed through her opponents. Other than her apparent superhuman abilities, she was a driving force for lowering taxes for upper middle class/upper classes and improving our their quality of life.

If lowering my taxes is anyone's goal, then I'm all for them being Prime Minister.

Yes, both sides did some wrong. However you should've been clearer from the start, just think for a second, when someone sees the letters IRA they automatically think innocent people dying and getting bombed.

Yeah i know.Sorry for the misunderstanding.I'll fix the post.

no fan. her being called the iron lady says everything. in the end, she may have improved great britains economy but i can´t stand what views on society she represents. she´s an example of someone that divides humans into one group that pulls the ass-card(like we say in germany) in being the worthless working class scum that should better stay amongst themselves, and another wealthy, successful (conservative) elite that has totally the right to exploit them. she´s a prime example of someone that has no interest in doing what would be best for all, but for a certain kind of people who she considers to be worthy. that all goes hand in hand with a huge disrespect for anything that is outside of the then accepted conservative social norms. i always wonder why people with such a silly and cynical view on the world get elected again and again(like bush a second time, seriously, how could you america? the whole world was laughing and crying at the same time). must be there are enough people on the world that are likewise assholes.

yeah, i know it was a very subjective post, and i obviously can´t stand thatcher(and most conservative politicians in general). just my opinion though.

EDIT: all you conservatives out here, please don´t trip. i mean politicians. i do not hate you if your moral code is based on conservative views. i just think most conservative politicians have policies that are so obviously excluding. it´s cool if you like to keep values that made sense in the past and do now. but i hate how conservative politicians nearly always aim for their group. how can you be a good politician if you´re basically like "screw you, working class. screw you, environmentalists. screw you, civil rights activist. screw you, you tolerant hippies!"? how can you be against fair payment for workers, against environmental protection or a diverse and colorful society where everyone is treated the same(as it should be and as most states in the western world have written it in their constitutional papers) and has the same rights as the next man. those are things even a conservative should try to achieve, but often conservative politicians act as if they are symptoms of a delusion the left suffers from. that´s why i think their world view is cynical.

again, sorry it´s such a long post. i had to get some steam off.

 

[Insanum]

BAHAHAH! Niiiice.

"The Iron Feline has passed on".

 

[highwaychild]

Yeah you got me too. I believe Mrs. Thatcher has a lot to answer for, especially in the part of England that I come from.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

I knew it was lies. Nothing can kill Maggie Thatcher the milk snatcher, nothing.

But on my mother's (who is a nurse) behalf, I'll dance on her grave when the time comes.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

What do i think of her?

I'm Scottish and pro IRA.Go figure.

Seriously being pro IRA is like being pro Taliban.

Funnily enough they virtually face off on Deadliest Warrior. Just thought I'd point that out.

 

[iamthehorde]

Huzzah! Thank god she isn't dead.

Truly she was a leader with more balls than any of the other PMs. She got the SAS to sort out a prison riot and showed those Argentinians who is boss!

yeah, right, the falkland war is probably the most glorious war ever fought... and probably the most necessary one, too! hey, we should make war a sport. look, i´m german, how about it poland? how about it great britain? you want another round? wanna see who is boss?

now if that isn´t funny, well, i may be a humourless person...

I may be a little unimformed but I just watched a program on the soldiers who were sent to Northern Ireland a few days ago. Did they not go in as peacekeepers between the Catholics and Protestants. As they were peacekeepers and not combatants they had very restrictive rules of engagement such as having to should "Halt put down your weapon" three times if somebody was aiming a gun at them. It is easy to lable the soldiers as bad but they went there to stop the Irish from killing each other over a religion!
Please don't use Cromwell in your argument, suprisingly he isn't in power, died 400 years ago and formed the basis for parliament today. You really have to question the Irish if they do still feel angry over something that occured 400 years ago, the English don't still whine about viking raiders or the Normans. It is just like the Afghans still talk about the British invasion of Afghanistan as if that happened yesterday, not 200 years ago. See the IRA and Taliban are more closely related than you probably like to admit.
It is lucky however that the rest of Europe don't blame Germany for starting two world wars, if the IRA were in charge of Europe I guess there would be endless war for at least 400 years until they got over it.

Sorry, I didn't realise you watched a TV show about it, had I known I would not of questioned your knowledge.

Also while we're on the topic, how about those damn blacks ay? When will they get over slavery? That ended a mighty long time ago. And Armenians, what's up with them? Yea, your people got massacared almost 100 years ago, get over it! And how about 9/11? I mean come on, it was a few buildings and yet every day on September 11th Americans are bitching and crying about it, starting wars and all sorts, it's not like they've been attacked since, time too man up and get over it.

That's the philosophy you're going by, right?

There is a difference between those and the Ireland thing though, it's that Ireland is still occupied.

Spoiler

Unfortuantly for you.. the vast majority of the Northern Irish wanted to stay part of the UK, the referendum settled that. The British soldiers in Northern Ireland where defending the population from terrorism, therefore i see their cause as just. The activitys of both loyalist and republican insurgents is off less repute.

Oliver Cromwell was a bastard i completly agree, and the English colinisation of Ireland leaves much to be desired. Potato Famine yes, was a trajedy, however i think the Irish should blame the English Landlords rather than the British government, after all the British government did attempt to help, just not very well because we have never exprienced a famine since the 13th century. At any rate, i do not see how these past injustices justify the acts of the IRA in the 1970's.

This is also coming from someone who's ancestors also suffered through the potato famine. i'm no bias source of opinion.

I appriciate you are well read in this and I agree with you on a lot of what you wrote. Although the first paragraph about the Northen Irish wanting to stay in the UK, that's strictly to do with sectarianism which is deep in a lot of Northern Irish and Republic of Irish peoples minds, although the logic behind it is about as worthy as the logic of the BNP. Personally I think the best thing to happen would be Ireland uniting and joining the UK, although I think a lot of what the IRA has done, although it proves a point, has just raied an incredible amount of tension between Protestants and Catholics which will mean the chances of a united Ireland are incredibly slim.

On a side note, I really hate writing Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland as my mother is from the North and my father from the South, but I just consider myself Irish, I can't stand those seperating terms.

But yea, I do get what you're saying and I think it's just a personal opinion on which we disagree and that can't be helped. Although saying the IRA are the same as the Taliban, I don't think that's right man. Happy to talk more about it with you though, as it is a rariety on the internet that you actually get some intelligent and informed conversation.

I my post from before for you, because that pretty much sums it up, just take out all the friendly parts.

Why won't she just die.

It could be a focal point of bringing Ireland and Britain together through her funeral

by letting us all beat her corpse with sticks.
