Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / March 2008Remembering Ireland and its roads!
Hi Viatologists, The time has come to shift the world's attention shift to the Irish isle! This land is composed of two distinct countries, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, where an intricate network of roads connects all of the island's corners. What once separated both countries was a well-defined border--today, both Union and Republic motorists can freely pass w/o cross-border hindrance and hassle. This often-afforded convenience plays its part in the growing diplomatic ties between Irish and British blood, bringing a diverse unity much closer together. Prior to the 21st century, the A1/N1 crossroads was reported by local inhabitants as having "slalom-like" barricades. The Worldwide Highway Library, since 2003, offers views of the Isle's motorways (a.k.a, "M-Routes"), northern primary Routes (A-Routes) and Republic national roads (N-Routes). From Dublin to Gallimh to Beál Feirste, the WHL has you covered: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com > Photographs > Europe > Ireland (Republic of) -and- http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com > Photographs > Europe > United Kingdom > Northern Ireland ...

Yes, it's absolutely fantastic that all these decades of British/Irish and/or Protestant/Catholic UNITY is being brought closer together. I'm glad you're so adept at speaking plainly, as opposed to some people who pretend to have a much greater vocabulary than they really do in order to sound worldly and urbane.

It's funny how none of this ties into roads and the amount of energy you spend to "defame" someone else. Let's face it. None of you can compete with the raw amount of WHL content--so your life revolves around attacking someone's character and bringing in evaluative opinions. PATHETIC.

Love, Carl > Let's face it. None of you can compete with the raw amount of > WHL content-- > > Love, > > Carl Okay, serious question here... and it's directed at Carl, but anyone is welcome to chime in with response, pithy and sarcastic or not (as it is entertaining); What exactly is "raw amount of WHL content," Carl? As far as I can see, as I've viewed your pages a few times, most of your pages are little more than a photo, video, or spliced 360 montage from a single view point, from highways in several countries, on several continents. Speaking from pure motives, I do think it interesting to view some of your content. I've been to Russia a few times and having any exposure to other places is interesting, but sometimes your self-promotion makes it seem that your site is the "Google street-view" of the world. I differ, but it's only opinion. So again I ask, just what is "raw amount," in this context? As I see it along lines of competition, aaroads has more "raw amount" of content, solely covering the US interstate system, than your WHL has "raw content," covering the globe. But maybe that's comparing apples to oranges, making the comparison moot. As far as competition is concerned, I arrive at my judgments on site traffic and reputation. I feel it's only fair. ~D Any large site has 10 to 20 times the volume of 'content' that you can find on CalBog dot Bong. I probably have more New England photos in toto than CalBog has in total photographs. That's apples and oranges for sure, but CalBog is attempting to compete on the 'My Penis is Bigger' principle, from what I can ascertain.

SignatureJon Morse Herndon, VA >>Can you believe my Jewish buddy was asked if he was a "Jewish >>Catholic" or "Jewish Protestant" in Northern Ireland? lol That's a pile of crap! that joke is as old as the hills and ya didn't even repeat it correctly. The gag went that a Jew was walking down a dark street when set upon by a few thugs. they wanted to know what religion he was. Of course the guy immediately tells them he is a Jew. And, "are you a Catholic Jew or a Protestant Jew?" was the next question! This was a popular joke away back in the early 70's when Catholics were murdered and sometimes literally butchered because Protestant thugs had kidnapped them on the street hoping that they were indeed Catholics.(black humour was a defense mechanism against what was going on on our streets at that time). So don't try and belittle us Irish by repeating the above bullshit! If your Jewish buddy was asked anything like you wrote, it would have been a complete joke and would have been worded as I wrote it! The other similar gag at that time was about the Jew walking down a dark Belfast street and he was set upon by a masked thug. The thug of course asked him if he was a Catholic or a Protestant to which the victim gladly announced that he was a Jew. the thug grinned maliciously and as he pulled out his very large knife sez..............................."I guess I'm the luckiest Arab that's living in Belfast!" >>>Can you believe my Jewish buddy was asked if he was a "Jewish >>>Catholic" or "Jewish Protestant" in Northern Ireland? lol [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > out his very large knife sez..............................."I guess I'm > the luckiest Arab that's living in Belfast!"

Well, according to the comments on his MySpace page, he works for a company called Ironport - I believe they make firewalls and other such network security gear.

We know this because he used to post here with his company information in his .signature, e.g. Message-ID: <nLURg.5353$e66.2682@newssvr13.news.prodigy.com> Perhaps he got fired from that job for screwing around on USENET on company time? :) Anyway, it's a pretty safe bet that his current job with Ironport is also as a tech support drone, as I suspect a company that makes network security products doesn't have very many Psychologists on its staff.

It is not an independent state, though it is part of one. NI comes closest to meeting the definition of country at 5 below. 1 the territory occupied by a nation; "he returned to the land of his birth"; "he visited several European countries" 2 state: a politically organized body of people under a single government; "the state has elected a new president"; "African nations"; "students who had come to the nation's capitol"; "the country's largest manufacturer"; "an industrialized land" 3 nation: the people who live in a nation or country; "a statement that sums up the nation's mood"; "the news was announced to the nation"; "the whole country worshipped him" 4 an area outside of cities and towns; "his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country" 5 area: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography); "it was a mountainous area"; "Bible country" Source: wordnet.princeton.edu/ Signature'Donegal: Up Here It's Different' © Féachadóir > Scríobh "eugene" <eugene@home.com>: >> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > or culture or geography); "it was a mountainous area"; "Bible country" > Source: wordnet.princeton.edu/ Which, summing it all up, means that Northen Ireland IS, indeed, a seperate country within it's own rights, like it or not!

Why is it that some people just > cannot grasp that? You're right, but I believe he said "Northern Ireland", part of the United Kingdom. He could equally have said the land is composed of two distinct countries, the Republic of Ireland and part of the United Kingdom, but that meaning is not as clear. Northern Ireland is as much a UK 'country' as England, Wales or Scotland, and in fact has more autonomy than England or Wales within the United Kingdom, having its own laws and political assembly, which England does not. It has the same status as Ireland as a whole had before the southern part became independent. Like it or not, and you only have to look at historical maps of Europe to see it plainly, countries change their boundaries and definitions quite often, and break up and reform in different configurations to suit the political situation or the mood of people who live there. If and when those people change their minds, as guaranteed by the laws of both countries, Ireland may become a single country. (As it was before under the United Kingdom. Previous to that, it was probably never a single organized political entity.)

Listen up buddy, it is not prejudical to be Irish and to refuse to accept an enforced separation from the main part of our country...that country happens to be called Ireland. There is no other country in Ireland regardless of what you and thieving planters like Merrick want to believe. Our day has come!

Whether or not NI is a country or not, it's certainly part of a country, and it's part of a different country to Ireland. As everyone but RSF has signed up to.

For sure, Northern Ireland is definitely *not* administered by the Republic of Ireland. The influence of the South on Northern laws is there, plus the aboriginal population is part of the North too. That said, those of British blood have inhabited the land for centuries, so it can also fair for resources and land to be shared amongst that crowd too. The British have had their influence and the South as well. For example, motorists drive on the left. Up until a couple years ago, IIRC, road speeds were posted in MPH. The Four Courts is an example of a majestic building that the Irish now use for similar practise. If the two sides can throw their ideologies aside and just get along... That's my hope! Economic exchange is the first step of progress. Those Orange day parades... I leave my opinion aside on that one. One thing's for sure... It's very difficult fo find lodging in Donegal and Galway during that holiday...

I love getting pics of Tricolours flying in Limavady so that I can mail them to my brother in Canada. Such an outrage would have been absolutely unthinkable when he emmigrated in 1977. He emmigrated from here because, like so many other Catholics in towns like Limavady, and because of the intolerable bigotry that was common then, work was so difficullt to find and if you had contacts abroad, well you had good chances of making a daycent living elsewhere. Thankfully that bigotry has mostly disappeared except for those dark places where it still thrives...........like in Merrick's peanut sized brain.

It's good to see the bigotry subsiding. If you look at it, both sides like to eat meat and potatoes, drink well, and create families. Christianity, often perceived as a uniting factor, truly isn't... It creates policy wars between different sects of the same "root". Power struggle, life loss, etc. Can you believe my Jewish buddy was asked if he was a "Jewish Catholic" or "Jewish Protestant" in Northern Ireland? lol Through economic exchange and the idea of "you scratch my back, I scratch yours", a heterogenous society can totally exist. Heck, let the Northerners reproduce w/ the Southerners--en masse! Moving forward, the Isle needs to keep the food supply high and health standards good; that'll mitigate the need for both extreme sides to wage on.

Our day has come! ROTFL!! Pathetic! Eugene's forbears almost certainly originally came from the UK or elsewhere as much as any of us! There is no such thing as an indiginous Irishman per se, we all came from somewhere else originally, even the pre-historical nomadic races such as the Cruthin. Poor eugene is merely expressing his own ignorance and petty vindictive hatreds of all other tribes than his own. Sad. Bullying and thuggery never works.

As far as I know, the UK is the only entity that I know which goes to the effort of calling its territories as countries. Honestly, I don't mind the naming convention myself.
