Well, it's that time of year again, when people in Northern Ireland use any excuse to bicker eachother. St Patricks Day, along with many other festivals in Belfast/Northern Ireland should be used to promote a sense of community with everyone. The troubles have been and gone and I wish they could be left in the past. We are all human beings and shouldn't be judged by a relgion you wish to follow. I don't mean to sound like a peace loving hippy, but there is enough violence and hatred in the world - why not just let the past stay in the past and lets teach our children to move forward and to accept people for who they are, not what they have been brought up or chosen to believe in! Use today as a happy experience, enjoy a few drinks with different people and if they can't be grown up about a ridiculous situation then just rise above it and be content in knowing that you're making the future a better place to live in. On social networking sites it is ridiculous that people are being sectarian just for the sake of making a point, which they have been brought up to believe....it truely frustrates me and I just wish more people took my mindset instead of playing up to a stereotype! Have a happy and peaceful St Patricks Day peeps! Have a guinness for me, while I sit in the house like a loner whilst Belfast gets the one day of sun this year....coursework YET AGAIN is ruining my life!
