      It's a drug issue. The government doesn't want the drugs there because they aren't good for you and it brings unwanted publicity to the country, and others want it because they bring economic wealth to the individuals.

    2. BigIreland@LittleIreland: Well, a long time ago some Britains made settlements in Northern Ireland, and they were protestant. However, southern Ireland is Roman Catholic and when they wanted to become an independent country Northern Ireland wanted to stay with the United Nations. So they related that with their religion and their have been some bloody conflicts between the two.
