(This is about in-game, just something I'd rather put here than the live forum)
Have you ever came across one of these? That just either piss you off or make you wonder why did they choose that? Well if not, I did. (incoming dark moment) These called themselves '_IRA_' "Why is that sketchy to you?" Some may ask. It's the name of a terrorist group that terrorized my country for a long time, blowing up cars and shooting. but thankfully died off and have never been seen for a while. Now it's very small with only 3 people and they said its a different meaning but seriously and did sound American so they probably had no idea. But still, I seriously freaked seeing that tag.
Has anyone ever seen a gamer/clan tag that either pisses ya off or makes you question the intelligence of the human race? If you don't, don't be an arse here.

Or Ira the biblical name that means watchman
Or wind God in sanskrit
Is it any of those?

It doesn't offend me per se because I'm not too judgemental, but the marijuana references make me shake my head. It's just that to me it's the most God-awful smelling substance on earth and I consistently watch it take motivation out of people's lives. But to each their own ultimately.

Don't give them the benefit of the doubt because they're American. The US government supported the IRA. |

They are a paramilitary, but over here they are seen as terrorists for blowing 1/5 of the country up and leaving a lot of older people in a bad mental state which is currently a huge issue in Northern Ireland. |

You know how nowadays, the stereotype of a terrorist, as bad as it will sound, is that of an Arabic person? Well back in the seventies, eighties and even into the nineties, at least over in Britain, the stereotype of a terrorist was a white Irishman.

Well back in the seventies, eighties and even into the nineties, at least over in Britain, the stereotype of a terrorist was a white Irishman. That's true, from what my parents told when they lived through the troubles which was difficult, I've been told that. But things have changed. |

Being from Manchester, this is very true^. |

Ira Individual retirement account? Or Irish Republican army? Or Ira the biblical name that means watchman Or wind God in sanskrit Is it any of those? Option number 2. They are American. The Only thing they teach about the Irish is something about potatoes. In fact if it wasn't for the Irish this game wouldn't have potatoes. But seriously. Most Americans know nothing about Ireland other than stereotypes. Its is far more likely that IRA stands for some stupid Crap like Indiana racing association or international rappers association. If they did mean Irish Republican army they probably know next to nothing about them. Most Americans don't know anything about anything non American Ira Individual retirement account?

The fact that WGA allowed R4PE and AN4L as clan tags shows they really just don't care.

Well that's a little harsh. Most Americans know about the Ira, they were THE famous terrorist group in the world until 9/11. Besides we've seen patriot games and blown away. |

I saw DVDA a few times in-game. I don't know if it ment what I thought it ment, but still a bit strange.
