What is an Orangeman?

Someone in Northern Ireland who is a very, very, very strong supporter of Unionism and Christianity. They are considered  "Anti-Gay, Anti-Gaza, Anti-Fucking Everything" by some.

They believe that everyone should respect their culture, but that they have the rights to disrespect any culture they choose. Particularly the Catholic, Nationalist, Islamic,  LGBT communities, immigrants and anyone who isn't white.

Every year they have a period of marching rioting that starts on the 12th of July. This benefits the Northern Irish economy by causing massive damage, disrupting days of trade/travel and scaring away all of the pesky tourists.

On the night before the 12th, they have bonfires where they burn Irish "flegs" and other things that they don't agree with, such as pictures of politicians who don't agree with Unionism.



(Bonfire night in 2014).

That looks to be too close to those houses for such a large bonfire. :flames:

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

I have a new appreciation for the anger which consumes my heart, turning it into a live burning coal.  :flame:

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

Perhaps those weren't riots that I've read about. The Irish just don't understand fire safety. :P

I don't think it has anything to do with rioting. I just looked up images of 11th night bonfires. The bonfire night seems like it's just an annual celebratory thing.

I meant the actual riots. :party:

There is a site from the government of Northern Ireland about bonfire safety: Link

Big fucking bonfire.

All it needs is a couple of molotov cocktails to get it going nicely ;)
