: That's NI for you. Friend of mine went to uni there; there were places you just didn't go at night back in the early-mid '90s.Your not wrong it's two years since a student at the uni I go to got lifted on the way home from his local had the life kicked out of him and a bullet put in his head because the British government when planning the Good Friday Agreement. His grave is beside my Grandpa's in Crumlin, I look at it if I visit the grave yard think that could've been me, could be me yet there is no peace here, I think if people like Barry had to deal with these sort of things he wouldnt be so mouthy about violent revolution.
:I don't like guns.
: I'm not afraid of them; they're machinery; but I feel a sort of disgust towards them.
That's my attitude entirely, I almost joined the Cadets over here, some friends persuaded me not to, it's a good thing too, there's a very close association between loyalist paramilitaries and the army at times, nothing official though, it's like how you'd get NF men in the Army in Britain.
: (Ever since I left the cadets, I've been a confirmed pacifist; it's a matter of some satisfaction to me that I haven't had a serious fight in my adult life.)
It's a good way to be, I get into fights more often than I like a combination of shock tactics and knowing how to twist arms and break bones saves me, generally I avoid actual physical battles at all costs, it requires a thick skin at times.
None.
