Wasn't going to say anything, but sure here we go
Where to start... Arnie, take a few deep breathes and relax. I would love to have read your Maze prison stories, I am sure they are comedy gold, but frankly you went on a bit and I want to go to bed at some stage. Are you trying to offend Irish people?, because you do realise you are barking up the wrong tree. Believe it or not we don't all have pictures of Bobby Sands up on the wall! In fact the vast majority of people in the 32 counties are still vehemently opposed to violent resistence, and that is despite historical revisionism.
Regarding the Ulster Plantation... Firstly three of the nine Ulster counties remain in Ireland (or the Republic as it is inaccurately known) - Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal. Ulster was the most succesful of several attempts by the British to "plant" Ireland. This was basically the mehod they used in all other colonies, seizing the land and dividing it amoungst people who would be loyal to the crown. In the case of Ulster, Scottish Presbyterians were the main settlers. Though this was unjust and extreme, it is unnecessarily emotive to describe it as ethnic cleansing.
Regarding the Catholic Church... This has to be the most overblown aspec of the whole thing. It had some relevence 90 years ago during the divide over Home Rule, but is largely irrelevent nowadays. Unionists happen to be Prodestant and Nationalists happen to be Catholic. This notion that the Vatican controls Ireland is completely wrong. In th 1950's the Bishops could twist the arm of the government on certain issues, but now the Church is in a position where whatever they say people are more likely to go against them just because they said it. If you want to see institutionalised religion, look to Britain where only Anglicans can be the head of state!
Regarding the drink... the name is by no means offesive to Irish people, round here we have a drink called the Belfast Bomber, it has Jegermeister in it. However I can see how it would be very offensive to somebody like arnie who has personal experience of such an attack.
What is very much Offensive is putting shots into a pint of Guinness. That is plainly wrong and a great insult to my people.
Screw You

The funny thing about it is that the first Irish Republicans were Presbyterians. One of the main figures in the fight for independence of Ireland is Wolfe Tone who was a Protestant. And there are two groups on the Irish side in Ulster. The Republicans (Sinn Fein) and the Nationalists (SDLP) and not to mention all the paramilitary groups inside the IRA like the Real IRA, Continuity IRA, Provisional IRA or the Provos etc.... and then you got the socialist INLA.
