I honestly find it bizarre that you would hate a group of people for something that happened so long ago.

That's why they are marching, isn't it? I'm talking about it tongue in cheek on the internet and those winners get dressed up and march about it annually.Originally Posted by johnhughthom

"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

Actually that's not what the marches were intended to originally represent AFAIK. Originally they were meant to be a celebration of the preservation of protestant values within NI. Remember that before the battle of the Boyne it was pretty much a routine thing for both the Protestants and the Catholics to go out and slaughter each other. Both sides were pretty gruesome at this so before you go ahead and think it was all those evil Protestants revelling in the joys of slaughtering Catholics your wrong, the Catholics were more than happy to do the same when they got the opportunity.
I'm pretty certain that's how the apprentice boys of Derry got their name, they held of some Catholics when the city was under siege from the Catholics who came into kill a few "prods", you know, like you did back in those days.
Also the Orange Lodge isn't really an English thing, although I'm pretty certain you have some other baseless facts to base your hate on the English. Luckily not many English or American people share you view hence the reason we get on relativity well as two nations.

If you insist on being offensive don't cry if it works. Not feeling sorry when a women in a Burka is attacked, not feeling sorry for a nazi flaunting his symbols being beat up, not feeling sorry for a homosexual holding a gay pride in Jeruzalem being blown to pieces, bye. They know why they are doing it perfectly well, fine get your own security.
