btw, that was TX'S first post in the thrad.

the holocaust thing was about the chaging of the sign from 4 million to over 1 million and to this day I can't believe they miscounted by 3 million people

THREE MILLION PEOPLE.

they didnt, the sign was wrong because it was misleading - it inferred that 4 mill died there, where that sign was - which is incorrect - 1 mill died there - 4 mill died total.

dude. please.
 
Japan... too easy. full of over arrogant, big headed idiots.

I swear to god Japanese people are stupid, they blame whales for low fish stocks.... YES.... WHALES.

not the big [Poor language removed] nets the humans put into the water, but whales.

by the way, you lot probably think its illegal to eat whale right? wrong, its sold in almost every supermarket going, I have had it offered to me at every restaurant going.

They can't drive to save their lives, the food is weird and shitty and they do their best to [Poor language removed] the koreans and the chinese because I swear they think its funny.

I find that amusing, i possibly shouldnt.

i was under the impression that a loop hole in the law meant that whale could be sold after parts of it had been tested on for scientific purposes - their arguement being - it isnt right to waste the rest of the whale when it can line so many stomachs (and pockets ;) )
 
so what do you want me to do, do a dance and pretend everything is fine?

As a brit I am very willing to take criticism for the Iraq disaster, but when I meet Americans and have a discussion (which happens fairly often in my line of work) they seem to think they are fighting terrorists.....

When you go to a country and attack it, expect the people to fight back because that is what would happen in the US and back home.

nah, they lied. they kill as many whales as they want to supply the market.

the Japanese response is....

come and stop us.

No its not a dance and pretence i would like (as if i matter) its a bit more care with the language used when referring to very volatile subjects. - specifically subjects that some individuals hold very dear to heart "our way of life, freedom for all, no persecution or hypocrisy"

i understand it doesnt always work out that way, but im not going to ram it down someones throat and expect them to do a dance and pretend everything is ok.

meet me in the middle mate. please.

the comments and language that seem to have upset someone/s has nothing to do with your personal acceptance of criticism for the iraq disaster or anything else - and your point about fighting back - lybia are still suffering for lockerbie, the russians make all the former soviet bloc countries suffer - and howitzer chechnya, mugabe is killing for fun in zimbabwe, and the biggest terrorist attack in world history is still fresh in the minds like the blood spilt is fresh on the ground in america.

sometimes you and i have to consider our words very carefully. its not about opinions, its about the manner in which they are conveyed.

Good, can you do me a favour then?

Whenever I start talking about polictics can you tell me to shut the hell up?

thanks.


(quote pinched from rumours)

shut the hell up
 
the worlds biggest terrorist act just depends on which side of the fence you sit.

I am shutting the hell up, but I love the stuff in bold.
 

im trying to help him out, hes demonising himself with comments about not being allowed an opinion.

whip yourself muck, really get your hips into it.
 
One point I think Rob is confusing brain washing with Patriotism with regard to the American flag and song. For the UK, I think we should show our own flag more and respect it, also drop that dreadful dirge called the national anthem, how about "Land of Hope and Glory" It is a matter of having pride in your country and yes I would feel pretty peeved if some one had a go at me for being proud of my Country.

Irrespective of how you feel about which ever war, you should feel about the people being killed on both sides. Just because Soldiers are there obeying orders it does not mean that you care any the less when they die.

Three years ago, my wife and I visited our friends in Nurnberg. We walked round the Volkspark and found their war memorial for their fallen in both wars, it was in a dreadful state. We pointed this out to our friend who had just retired from being an MP in the Bavarian Parliament, that notwithstanding what the war was about these were ordinary people who died because they were under orders they should still receive respect for the sacrifice they had made. Next time we went there and to the park that memorial had been cleaned up and repaired. As it should be.

Sorry about that got a bit carried away.

no apology necessary, all views welcome, especially ones as eye opening and (imo) without slant/angle as what you mentioned.

i have a question : how do you know a bavarian MP ?
