Orange walks [Split from 8th August thread]

[Tommy]

This is why the orange order is going to die off. Crap like these marches, anyone out of scotland cant understand how this is allowed. Mon protestants, give it up and move on.

The number of marches on all sides was increasing in the West of Scotland, not Scotland as a whole but the West.

I'm not getting into it anymore rio

just wikipedia it or sum-fang

[Rio Ohki]

Oh, you mean like this?

I'll admit to only having a quick look, but I can't see anything there about community projects. Not even a sniff of a new play park for all the wee forumer sprogs.

Won't someone think of the children?

Maybe I'm being too harsh. Let's wikipedia the Orange Order like he asked me so nicely to, instead of backing up his own point.

Well blow my house down and call me a piggy.

Clearly this makes up for everything.

Strange point though, a lot of these seem to be based in Canada, or Ireland. Never mind, there's one in Scotland.

The Scottish Orange Home Fund, ladies and gentlemen!

Ah wait, it's holidays for Old Orangemen. Guess that doesn't count then, seeing as it benefits the Order, and no other bugger.

Oh, but what's this?

Grand Master's Charity Appeal

Interesting.

£124,000 was raised for Cancer Research Northern Ireland in 2004
As well as this, private lodges routinely collect for charity.

So far so good, can't argue with that.

In 2005 lodges in Portadown aim to raise money for alcohol and drugs awareness by staging a fun run entitled the "Orange Olympics".

So instead of marching through the town, They all got together and, well, ran through the town?

I'm not going to pretend that this is anything but a light hearted piss take, as opposed to a serious comment on the Orange Order.

My point is, if you're going to enter the debate, back up your points.

Anymore? Was the first question you were asked.

Not surprised though.

[Rio Ohki]

Makes me wish I'd replied with 'Naw, you fuck off!' instead.

[MarkMono]

There are some fine points to cannibalism, but they're secret and you're all bastards so go and read wikipedia you poop.

It's one in the afternoon.




Fuckin' tool.

[Historic Bongo]

ofcourse it is
but I've just woken up so it's mornign to me...and the smell of cunts in the afternoon doesn#t have the ring to it

look at you trying to start a wee argument here, yer maw would be embarrased, if you want to fight...get off the internet and go fight a wall or something

[Rio Ohki]

I reckon you're mistaken here.

An argument would imply that both parties had something to contribute, or a point to defend.

You don't. The only thing you're defending is the fact that you're not defending your point. You're arguing about you not having an argument.

This isn't an argument, son, you've been telt.

Here...why orange? I mean, if the minority of the order hate Catholicism etc, then why pick a colour that's featured on the Irish Flag. I'm not for a minute suggesting that the whole of Ireland are catholic, but I've met a few people who are "picky" about which colours that they will allow themselves to acknowledge.

'cause Rangers had an Orange strip.

I've been telt nothing, I'm not going to give your drivvel a second thought

I will however spare a thought for your integrity and eyebrows

[Evapilotone]

What did I say?
I'm genuinely interested as to why it's called The Orange Order.
