"It's about time this country faced the reality of its bloody history of empire-building."

- Not till we get an apology from the Itis, the Scandinavians, and the Normans.

I had family tortured by the Romans, and I grieve for them every day. (This was 80 generations ago, but the pain just doesn't go away.)

You can't compare Bloody Sunday to things that happened 2000 years ago. I get your point but McLean would know people directly Affected by it and you're being facetious to compare it to the Romans

I'm sure there are many who would know people affected by attrocities related to Ireland, plenty in this country.  This man chose to rub our noses in it.

Get over yourself. He is not rubbing your nose in anything. He is simply refusing to take part in a song who's words he doesn't believe in. Stop taking it so personally.
