...and this from the board troll that only has a pertainant comment when she can attack someone's nationality or get all defensive because her husband is black.kyoukan wrote:these are the same trolls that will weeping tomorrow and getting all uppity everytime someone doesnt blindly stick their cock in every sappy SUPPORT OUR TROOPS NAVER FORGET stupid ass bald eagle pictures.
Flanders was one of the most horrific battlefields in WW1.
The Canadians (and the rest of the Commonwealth troops for that matter) fought heroically for the Queen not only in WW1, but also in WW2.
Canada had a very small population at the turn of the century, but provided much more than what was asked for. If I remember correctly, Newfoundland had less than 100,000 for a population, yet contributed several thousand volunteers. They fought as one unit and in one battle took 91% casualties, fighting for the cause and freedom they believed in. For such a small population like that to have the casualties they took in one day, it forever changed the history of Newfoundland.
As far as history goes.. those who do not pay attention to it are doomed to repeat its mistakes.
As far as those who made the ultimate sacrifice..

funny Ive only brought it up once ever to make a point. then everyone else pounds on it daily and somehow I get blamed for it. gee I wonder why I don't talk about my personal life with any of you fucking losers.Pahreyia wrote:...and this from the board troll that only has a pertainant comment when she can attack someone's nationality or get all defensive because her husband is black.
of course you would NEVER, if the situation was turned around mock an american death, but will stop at nothing and defend a canadian death even if its the same scenario, just a little hipocriticalkyoukan wrote:these are the same trolls that will weeping tomorrow and getting all uppity everytime someone doesnt blindly stick their cock in every sappy SUPPORT OUR TROOPS NAVER FORGET stupid ass bald eagle pictures.
Yes Canadians were involved in the war and we have been by america's side in many different things bad or good we have the honor to protect our country. Give honor to all who died in these wars no matter what nationality they were for they fought for what they believed in and to protect their countries, their homes, families and lives. We owe these people our respect, honor and thanks for all what they did. Rest in Peace

Let me explain my comment about "not caring about the day".
To me, I find it.. simple and tacky to have one single day when you honor veterans etc, just like I find Valentine's Day the same way. I don't need a single day to show my better half that I love her and give her a gift for it. It's silly, I'd much rather do that on any other day but that one. And luckily she agrees with me.
I am a fan of history and have read more historical books than I care to count, and I have met some of Norway's largest war heroes (among others the leader of the strike against the heavy water factory which was made into several movies heh). I also had family who got asassinated by the Germans during WWII. So believe me, I honor those who fought. I just don't need or want one day to do it on.

For once I agree with Kelshara on not needing one day to honor the Vets, but maybe having a little consideration for people that do hold this day in there heart is in order.

K, topics have been split. Assholes stay here, people thanking veterans go here.
/edit: Sorry for any confusion, I am one of the assholes. It was just coming from too many directions in this thread. People talking about Simpsons and stupidity stay here, people who want to thank Veterans or talk shit about Veterans go here.

Isnt Memorial day the day to remember the fallen, and Veterans day the day to thank all the living veterans?
In either event, thx to all who defend/defended Freedom and a hearty FUCK YOU to those with no respect for these people.

Looks like you CAN say whatever you want... just not in the other thread.kyoukan wrote:what happened to being able to say whatever we wanted? and why did you wait until american veterans day to split the threads and let everyone talk shit on canadian rememberance day?
Who talked shit on Remembrance day? I sure as hell didn't, and I doubt any of the rest of people with brains on this forum did either.
Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.

Yeah, delete it. It has none of that in-depth content that people are always claiming they're looking for on VV.

This post was completely taken out of context. It was directed to the people who were completely disrespecting the poem Wulfran posted, not at people showing respect for Veteran's Day.
