Views on Northern Ireland, Ireland etc!?

I was wondering what people's views are on Northern Ireland as a country and what they think it's citizens are like. I am also wondering how people feel about the whole Northern Ireland/Ireland situation and the Catholic/Protestant segregation that occurs here, and what they think will happen in the future here. I myself am from the North of Ireland and was wondering how people view us (british, northern irish or irish folk from here) in general

Whether you are from Ireland, NI, England, or any other country in the world please share your views? I will share my views later in the thread!

From what I gather, NI doesn't want to lose it's NHS and Dublin can't afford NI's budget.

I think many are nationalist, religious bigots. I also think your a drain on the rest of Britain.

That being said, I support a united Britain.

I think it's the loyalists who are being the biggest drain recently, their rioting last year cost millions. Of course the police don't help by not arresting anyone on the spot. Both sides of the community contain religious bigots, but people seem to forget that there isn't just the IRA but also the UVF. (I am not defended the IRA though)

Both sides are as bad as each other and too quick to seek confrontation.

NI is a drain by default anyway since it gets massive subsidies from England and Scotland (when oil revenue is taken into account). Wales and the North East are also drains.

The Good Friday agreement was progress but unless the youth feel united as Britains, it will fail in the long run.

Yeah sadly I think that some young people today are insistent on wasting their lives fighting over flags. The past is just too heavy here for people to feel united as Britons, especially since about half the population view themselves as Irish. But even a large proportion of people who would call themselves Irish would vote to stay as part of the UK if there was a referendum for economic reasons.

a grossly underated place is ni

some gorgeous scenery and rich culture in the wee country

for some reason I dont see myself living there long term there

the south is and forever will be home

That's a defeatist attitude. What the UK needs to do is make Ireland wealthy and then the people will thank them for it.

To be honest I'd like Ireland to come back, they are our brethren. I'd also like a united

I think the measly weather doesn't help I get why you couldn't live here long term; it killed me leaving Spain after my holidays thinking that Id never leave home again, stupid lol

yeah, it's all about the money really
