Fire crews deployed after Belfast bonfire collapses in direction of nearby homes.

“An Irish school in Ireland?!? Not on our watch!”

The convention was organised to protest Home Rule and attracted over 12,000 people. Conservatives made common cause with Liberals, their former political rivals and opponents. The convention’s proceedings were carefully choreographed to underscore the unity of the unionist community. Because no building in Belfast could accommodate 12,000 people, a convention pavilion was specially erected for the occasion in Botanic Gardens.

There are still Yoons out there that will tell you the  Scottish Clearances were just people  simply emigrating.....

I’ve always been a “why can’t we all get along” type of person. I see peoples POV from in many ways.  I have my own values and beliefs but I can listen to someone and at least try to understand why they have that moral belief.  From what I’ve seen from social media, most people aren’t like this.  If you didn’t vote for Obama then you are a racist.  It doesn’t matter why but somehow you’re just automatically a racist.  If you voted for Obama then you’re a dumb brainwashed millennial that thinks that everything should be handed to you. I personally didn’t vote in the most recent presidential elections because I wasn’t going to sign my name under male Satan or female Satan.  The point being there’s no communication. There’s no understand.  But nobody wants to understand one another.  Nobody wants to think outside the box to try to understand another human being's point of view.  We forget that we all grew up in vastly different ways.  We were molded differently.  Therefore, our values WILL BE DIFFERENT.  People vote for people based on their values.  What may be your top priority may not, and most likely won’t be, the same for the person sitting next to you.  They have their own battles going on.  There are so many reasons why people vote.  Politics is the farthest thing from being a black or white subject.  So, have a heart and try to see something from a different perspective because one day some shit could go down and the only person that is available to help you is your neighbor who is different than you.
