"They Hijacked My Bus. Then Burned It" 🇬🇧🇮🇪 Trouble In Northern Ireland (#190)
It turns out, there's two Irelands. One is the Republic, the other is Northern Ireland, which is still part of the UK and fiercely proud of it. Growing up, I heard about the Troubles and all the mindless violence that took place in the North. The Catholics/Republicans wanted to be part of Ireland, the Protestants/Unionists wanted to be part of the UK.
But what was this place really all about? I didn't know anyone when I showed up. But by pure coincidence, I arrived on one of the biggest (and most controversial) holidays in NI--the 12th of July. And I never expected who I was going to meet.

In the middle of Central America, situated above Costa Rica and below Honduras, lies a country that's been out of the news for a few decades. Older Americans know it from the Sandinistas and the Iran-Contra affair. This is Nicaragua. It's never been as tourist friendly as Costa Rica, nor has it been as violent as it's northern neighbors. Nicaragua doesn't fit neatly into a box. The eastern half...

    This world is full of suffering. People suffer, have no proper conditions to live a meaningful life or barely survive. Then they resort to crime or prostitution for example, and these things have their own negative consequences (and crime is bad in itself). And all these things just put more people into a circle of suffering (like all the trafficked people by those who do this as a means to have money, satisfy their greed). And this affects not only humans, but animals and nature itself. Animals tortured and killed for food, for fun; nature destroyed for greed... All it takes for each one of us is a change in this circle of suffering. A good deed; stopping eating animals; stopping financing organizations who abuse people, animals and nature; being less egotistical in general. In this way we can avoid being trapped and creating even more suffering in this seemingly endless circle.

    My father's family was from northwest Ireland, but before he was born they moved to Scotland for work in the Glasgow shipyards. He was trained as a riveter. In 1927, the whole family, except one brother, moved to the USA for a better life. The flag of Ulster is a Provincial flag for the 9 (nine) county province of Ulster. The red hand on the flag commemorates the act of a Viking named "Nial" who was probably pre-Christian and his act of cutting off one hand and tossing it ashore to lay claim to his domain in Ulster. I have a DNA haplogroup that has been declared to be descended from Nial, who founded the family of the "O'Neals". A sub-family of the O'Neals is the O'Donnels, and in the 1500's was led by a man named Red Hugh O'Donnel. My family name, McGhee, is translated as: "Son of Hugh", so I believe the name "McGhee" refers to Red Hugh O'Donnel since I have the blood and DNA of the O'Neals and the O'Donnels. My family is Catholic and lived in an area just west of Derry City. My DNA also has characteristics of Norwegian, Swedish and Danish DNA further confirming my connection to Nial, the Viking. As I said the provincial flag of Ulster represents the 9 (nine) counties of the province of Ulster which has ALWAYS had a Catholic majority. But the British kept the 6 (six) counties of the Northern Ireland state because it was the maximum land area in which there was a Protestant majority. So, from the beginning, the state of Northern was always a "Gerrymandered" state. If they took a census today of the "Six Counties" of Northern Ireland, it would show a majority Catholic population. So, it's now more like the Russian occupied areas of Ukraine.

    You actually went to the poorest counties in WV. Most of us don’t live like that. If I went there I would even be shocked of the living conditions and I was born in WV! I’m from Parkersburg/Vienna region. There is a good bit of successful people who live in beautiful homes that people from your state would only dream about. Sorry but we take offense when people think we actually live like what you just shown. It’s not reality and obviously just for clicks.

    I dont think you saw the non political historical side of N.I . come back to the North and visit Castlerock with its walk around the Castle ruins & Temple looking over the sea the views & scenery is outstanding when you reach it, Portrush with its Great Golf course and two beaches Portstewart with its beautiful beech & its quaint town and former convent where there is a lovely walk beside the sea , Port Ballantrae with a Hotel looking out at the sea again beautiful scenery then other coastal areas like the Giants causeway a must see! all stunning and Dunluce castle ruins magical place ❤ There are a few more great places to visit like Ballycastle you must visit Mortons fish & chip shop perhaps before you take a boat ride to Rathlin Island!! get the boat over the rd from the chip shop and there are many other great places to visit on the coast rd like Carnlough where you can stop for a meal in the Londonderry Arms Hotel and perhaps a walk up to cranny falls clifface! coming back down spectactular views of the sea on a beautiful day❤ sadly few & far between in N.l. Then head over to Ballygally Castle Hotel & there you can visit the Ghost bedroom up a number of narrow steps, its a nice Hotel where you can have a lovey meal & stay if you want to.😊 on a beautiful day

    I'm an American Jew. I did notice a couple of incorrect facts in this video, same as others pointed out. But in general, I enjoyed the video. I mostly enjoyed being able to see just regular people living their lives. I can't say their "everday" lives because circumstances are not usual right now. I wish peace for all. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen unless/until the majority of Israelis and Palestinians get to know each other and really see the humanity in each other. They are both indigenous to the land. British colonialism really knocked their relationship off on a terrible course. I like the work that Rudy Rochman does. He has a UA-cam channel as well.
