Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9good work orangecitadel reminding people about this and highlighting it. Bein from the 26 Countys it use to bother me hearing people sayin 'ah the two 'sides' are as bad as each other up 'there'' type of mindset. This knuckle dragging, undemocratic, sectarian , supremicist organisation should disband. Why should they be able to equate this as part of their culture- walkin round places like laurel and hardy where they r not wanted for a few hundred years. How can things like this drain funds for gaelic games, music ,arts etc. its absolutely mental and keep highlighting it. At the least they are deluded religious zealots at the worst stirrers of tension , division, bigotry nd provacation. i still think though some year all non 'Orange' folk should ask to join their 'cultural' parade and take the pure micky
Well said "Fair Fair" when you said:
"This knuckle dragging, undemocratic, sectarian , supremicist organisation should disband."
It's time for the Roman Catholic Church to GO.
(You'd swear they were in personal touch with the almighty sometimes.)
"How can things like this drain funds for gaelic games, music ,arts etc"
Right on! take the money away from one side and give it all to the other.
How dare they have their culture, especially when it could be done away with in order to help fund ours.
Just the kind of fair, unbiased, well thought out and balanced solution we need.
Well done.Give that man a biscuit.
Intersting how it was the British House of Commons in London who saw the Orange Order as a sectarian bunch of troublemakers and tried to disband them.
So much for British Imperialism
Yet the Provos spent a quarter of a century blaming, and bombing, London.
The flag of Irish republicanism has Orange on it as well as Green.
Presumably the Orange on the Irish flag represents Orange-ism.
"Birds of a Feather".
No Orange or Green on the Union Jack!
.
rory ya completely missed my point and are the type of person i was talking about. Its NOT a two sides thing. ORANGISM is not a culture- sport, music and the arts ARE. I am not a catholic
And yes I agree with the other poster highlighting the catholic church hierarchy as bein that too.
And my other friend who is giving anthropology a bad name. Yes Orange was a colour associated William whose forces in history incorrectly was seen to stand for Protestanism, it was not for the ORANGE ORDER
Hey behavioural Anthroplogist, yes its good u highlight the fact that imperial masters in england play their 'subjects' like pawns. They have and probably will play the orange card when it suits their agenda. They will arm, inform, protect unionist killers one week and the next week will denounce them as gun men and extremists. thats the messy world of colonialism and imperialism but im sure u studied all that BEHAVIOR in one of your lectures
They should just ban all parades, be they OO, AOH, Republican comemorations or anything else with the possability to upset, offend or make people feel threatened in any way.
Instead of looking to the past we should be looking to the future.
So the Orange on the flag of the Irish Republic symbolises William of Orange ?
Wow !
Fair play to you, Fair Play, for pointing that out.
We Orangemen were never taught THAT here in Belfast !
.
Red Jed AOH parades are not secterian, unlike orange order parades which are designed to intimidate Catholics. Republican parades are not secterian they are about celebrating the sacrifice made by Republicans to deliver their people from British Imperalism and about helping us to remember the past. There are a few AOH and Republican parades a year. There are thousands of Orange parades many of them through areas where Catholics live. The orange order is a closed door to most Catholics. The Republican movement is open to all no matter what their religion or colour. So I agree with you that orange parades should be banned at least.
