cpxx... here in America we had a little slaughter fest bout 140 years ago where brothers were killing brothers because they wore different color uniforms. Americans are not that adverse to slaughtering countrymen or even relatives for that matter.

Unfortunately it isn't just something that's local to NI but also in Scotland, especially in Glasgow (particularly with the Football clubs!!). Is sectarianism present in other parts of the UK?

I don't know... I guess that if here in the states most of the people wanted to leave the union and they were killing folks and we had to have federal troops even in the areas that were pro federal government....

I would expect that we would either have a nationwide vote (all the states) or simply have another civil war.
