    Lovely weather we're having, for the time of year.
    I saw two of the local Herons this morning, beautiful plumage.

    Jonathan Ball It's a way of life.

    I see nothing to yawn about when those that do care for our Country voice their opinions. A little patriotism for the land of your birth does no go astray...Does it ?

    I certainly do not find it boring ...More a little pleasure, that there are some in this land that care enough to speak out, at what is seen as a threat to this green and pleasant land..
    Sapper

    I care enough to speak out.

    Sapper, you are nothing but a bigoted, religiously intolerant and racist Xenophobe.

    Cheerio.

    Had a nice stroll after lunch stroll puffing on my pipe. No herons in the concrete jungle though...

    Off to fix a stuffed crab (don't ask :D ) and the Christmas Lamb Stew (I'm the president of the local chapter of the Turkey Rejection Front :p ).

    We've got 4" of snow on the ground and -1C which makes for the perfect white Christmas.
    Santa Claus will pop by and leave a few presents for our little 16 month old Princess of a granddaughter, and tonight is the first of 2 back to back dead bird stuffed with dead plant meals.
    No Turduckin this year though, and not baby sheep for sure, I'm the only one in the family who would eat it, that stew sure sounds good :)

    A Very Merry Christmas to one and all! [​IMG]

    JB39 Thank you for your compliments..... And may I add, it was the same patriotism and outlook ofour war time generation, that allows you the privilege and the freedom to post such language. Many of those patriots that gave their lives for their Land, fired by the same patriotism......We did it. and it was our PATRIOTIC sacrifices that saved you from a life under a Nazi regime.

    So yes, I am still fired by that same feelings for my country. and I am proud of it....

    Rather a lot of Muslims served in the British Indian Army to protect that freedom of speech .
    ALL volunteers too.


    On the eve of World War II almost 34,000 Punjabi Muslims were in the army (29 per cent) and during World War-II over 380,000 joined (about 14% of the total). No other class came close to these figures: Sikhs: 116,000, Gurkhas: 109,000, Muslims of other classes from UP, Deccan, Madras, Bengal, NWFP, etc 274,000, were recruited during 1939-1945.

    The Role of Muslims Martial Races of Todayƕs Pakistan in British-Indian Army in World War-II*

    Yes they most certainly did. But that was before they turned to terrorism. and fighting amongst themselves.... Fine! Great lads.....Unless of course the continuous bombings and suicide attacks are disregarded....
    13 in Iraq in one day, and God knows how many else in and around the nations.

    Is that what you want???? Really?

    IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE. Peace on earth, goodwill to men and all that.

    Sapper please give us all a break and take it to PM with those who agree with you. I'm sure they'll contact you and let you know.

    Diane,
    With all due respect, I think Sapper has earned the right to say whatever he wants.

    Jonathanball39, in hockey terms, you have been awarded a game misconduct.

    Cheerio from the colony....

    For what it's worth I'm with Jonathan, Sapper. You are a racist and there is no place for racism on this forum in my opinion-Some of the forum members are Muslim and I can't think for the life of me why they don't post on here.

    Whilst I'm sure there are quite a few members on here that will agree with your views on Islam, as mentioned before why not Private Message them your views and keep them private that way those who disagree with your views won't have to read them.

    More importantly you won't stop new members from joining the forum, for without them the forum will eventually die with the rest of us and no one will be able to read your posts about WW2 - Which is why I believe you posted them in the first place?

    Much as I detest Nazis, I have nothing against Germans. Likewise, much as I dislike militant Islamists, I have nothing against Muslims. As far as I am concerned, the hand that made a) is the hand that made b). And as far as I am aware the God is the same ;)

    That Drew is totally ignorant. Every word of what I posted is the truth..... Nothing to do with racism....THE TRUTH. Just the simple truth.

    I never mentioned 9/11.
    I suppose that never happened? Or perhaps it embarrasses you to mention it?

    What I posted is facts.... I make no apology for posting facts...... Obviously you do not like hearing the truth...

    That Drew is totally ignorant. Every word of what I posted is the truth..... Nothing to do with racism....THE TRUTH. Just the simple truth....

    Here's one of the three definitions of racism: hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. I think your previous post fits that catergory.

    I never mentioned 9/11.
    I suppose that never happened? Or perhaps it embarrasses you to mention it?


    Neither did I-I'm however I am well aware of what happened on 11th September 2001 as I spent 18 months of my life volunteering to go on operations, getting shot and shelled at as a result of it.

    What I posted is facts.... I make no apology for posting facts...... Obviously you do not like hearing the truth...

    Well thats debatable too.

    Like I said there is no place for racism on this forum. I ask for the good of the forum that you take it to Private Message if you want to make such posts.

    55+ posts on this thread & the member who started it all off hasn't even bothered coming back to comment.

    Great eh?

    Nothing like a row about Religion & Race on Christmas Day.

    I know of 2 members who are fed up with certain posts on here that have decided not to come back to the forum.

    Haven't I mentioned before on this forum that threads about Modern Politics & Religion tend to go septic ?

    Or am I talking to a brick wall ?

    Christmas dinner ready soon so I'm off.

    Hands up who thinks politics/religion on a non-politics/religion forum's still a good idea?
    No takers?
    Funny that.

    Several resignations (stated that is, probably not counting others turned off that don't tell anyone), Christmas day irritation (for some, I'm honestly too hammered to care really :D It is indeed only the Internet), and for what? a cheesy Internet chain-letter. Strewth.
    Arguments over WW2 - bring 'em on, we can handle that.
    But arguments over modern politics?

    DULL.

    Here ya go, a quickly Googled list of Politics/religious forums, fill yer boots if it means that much to you.

    Politics & Current Affairs : Political Discussion Forum
    Discussion Forums - The UK Politics Forum
    The UK Debate Forum. Debate politics, political issues & general debate topics.
    British Democracy Forum
    Science and Religion Forum Home Page
    Forum on Religion - Forum on Religion - Research - European Institute - Home

    Personally, I want to talk about tanks with a few other off-topic threads to occasionally lighten the mood when the seriousness gets a bit much. Not spend my time watching this place descend into the same polarised bear-pit so often witnessed on other Military History Forums. I sort of thought we were better than that.

    HAPPY CHRISTMAS YOU MAD IMPETUOUS FOOLS!

    ~A

    (Closed, by the way, 'cos it's Christmas. So there, and no returns. Looking forward to any 'I'm outraged!' 'Censorship!' type threads, 'cos then I can close them too ;).
    I shall retire to my lair to consider whether Politics/Religion is about to become completely taboo here in 2012- shame, but things are obviously getting a tad daft again, and it's not even a full moon.)
