English people don't get this, accept it

Irish people are educated for years on our history, English people learn about their monarchs and other colonial crap. They don't know or appreciate what the people in this film did to preserve our culture cos they have no previous knowledge of the situation. Its frustrating and upsetting when you read about it being IRA consenting and other such *beep* but it is what it is.

We know what it means; our language, sports, culture, religion survived cos these ppl fought for it. Not hating English people at all, I promise; its just it means more to us cos its ours. And dismissing it as radical is subjective, cos those ppl are the only reason we are Irish and not British today.

Its great our relationship with England is good today, that in itself was a long but worthwhile road; but it means alot to Irish people to preserve what people died for and I don't think that understanding is as built-in with English people.
