Remembrance Sunday - Nov 10th 2024 Lest We Forget

[Ozwhites]

Having lost a son only 23 yrs old, in combat overseas, today always a difficult day. Memories of him growing up etc, etc, flood back. Miss him each day, a massive lost, but proud of him and many others who wanted to do their bit.

The harsh reality for all of us. Thoughts are with you on this special occasion.

Sorry for you loss and memories no family should have to go through this. the sad reality is for everyone that dies another 30 come back changed people never be normal again. My mother witnessed the Germans kill her 8 year old brother.

"The sooner soldiers wake up.....", meaning? War results from the failure of the governing powers (as you indicate, politicians, religious leaders and the like), to resolve differences withiut resort to force of arms. The problem with "soldiers (or more generically speaking, those in he various armed forces), waking up" is that there would be no means of resolving issues (cast your mind back to WWII and imagine how things might have panned out without the allied armed forces). Anarchy is a more likely outcome than any kind if eureka moment on the part of those governing powers I referred to earlier.

Wake up and don't do what they tell you, Another thing if someone invades like Ukraine and another sending people to die under false pretense's like Blair and Bush started with lies and the consequences still ringing with the 2 towers and other atrocious things all started by lies. The sooner everyone's f off back to there countries and yes includes me back to Greece and live in harmony, to mixing every culture in the world which asks for trouble the better the world would be. Make things in your country like we used to instead of closing down your own factories and business in favor of cheap and nasty products from somewhere else. Again all political and power for a few while the rest pick up the peace's.

Ohh and remember this day we were atrocious against the bottom team with a fluke goal and a late one to overcome them.

I don't deny that political failures resulted in Hitler's territorial ambitions going unchecked, until the Nazis invaded Poland with whom the UK had a mutual defence agreement, but....

I know (emphasis, KNOW) what is right and what is wrong when it comes to my country and its territorial integrity, and anyone or anything that threatens that will and MUST be resisted with any and all resources available to me and those who feel as I do (the majority). And that's not to enrich the already rich and powerful, it's simply the right thing to do.

Yes but your country like other countries are been over run so what are you doing about it. You bring it up and they shut you down. You open your mouth and they shut it. Look over here the Lebanese think they own our country they freely protest they freely sell there drugs and illegal cigarettes and on top off that they are burning every business they don't like. And what there is nothing they can do about it because they brought them in and they are too powerful and most of the politicians police so on are under there pockets.

Ok boss but in order to understand the title one has to know the cause.

And was it not always so? Roman centurions took to the road to conquest at the behest of emperors, Persian armies sought conquest in the Balkans at the direction of those they viewed as gods on earth, Mongol hordes swept over the Steppes and beyond when Khan said they should. To wish it was otherwise is understandable but delusional. Humankind will never revert to the boundaries it had established in the non-too-distant past, all we can hope for is that we are able to (belatedly) to accept that those boundaries are where we should be. Given the belligerent nature of some leaders, I think that's a vain hope.

Do you live here, or are your pronouncements based on accounts on Tik-tok, Instagram?

This country is NOT being overrun by anyone. It has challenges in terms of dealing with immigration, so do all "prosperous" nations given the fractious state of international relations. I and others are well able to express our opposition to government policy on a wide range of issues, including immigration, if you think otherwise spend a few grand and visit us here to see how it really is.

The problems you refer to are NOT experienced here. We don't have perfection but to compare what we have to what you describe is nonesense.
