Hi All,
Snafu,
RM still a sensationalist then ? In my mind these people are just giving these Muslim fanatics what they crave the publicity to draw more fighter’s to their twisted idea of how the world should be, what makes me laugh is all these so called fighter’s fighting for their cause don not realise that if these Muslim jihadists get their way and the world does become a Muslim world ? all the things they take for granted will be binned in an instant from their freedom of speech to the clothes they wear.
Student Pilot,
They should let them go and fight as all country’s should and if they happen to survive just refuse the lot of them re-entry simple. When they come home crying it wasn’t like they expected or I was being stupid or as many of their Family’s claim they were brainwashed, they should keep them at the airport and put them on the first flight back. After all these so called fighters no matter what cause they are fighting for are no more than mercenaries paid or not.
I f you choose to leave a country you have been brought up in and are a citizen of, Or you have been so graciously given sanctuary in while your country has it’s problems if you want to shoot weapons in a war then join the Army/Air force or Navy. Also don’t suppose you should be welcomed back with open arms and want to return to the life you knew, that life vanished the moment you pissed off abroad to pick up a gun.

[QUOTE=1batfastard;2160632]Hi All,
I can ignore the acting and enjoy the history being told the acting just tries to bring it to life, My only problem was it was advertised as being from the point of view of ordinary people, when I heard an officer talk about ‘We had two bottles of Champagne to celebrate’ a certain event, it got under my skin to me it showed the vast difference between the enlisted who had nothing and those toffs who thought the war was a great adventure and still lived a life style as if the war was not on going.
That does not take anything away from the officers who actually did see proper fighting in the trenches alongside their men, also it works the other way around as I am sure their were those enlisted who skived everyday if they could. Good and Bad in all people from all backgrounds.

Hi All,
Sorry everyone I have obviously got my wires crossed here :stupid:, I had in fact started to watch the ITV production ‘The Great War: The People’s Story’ all of the above still applies and I am looking forward to the 2nd episode to morrow ITV – 9pm -10pm will now have to catch up with the BBC programme you are all on about.

Hi All,
Why all the news paper snobbery ? Just because you choose to read a particular paper doesn’t mean your Thick/Less Intelligent than others etc.etc. it is surely down to personal choice end of. What I will agree on is the picture was Crass/Distasteful and Tactless, more thought really should have gone into it rather than the editor just saying ‘Yeah that’s o.k. just blur the kids face’ Having said that it was on Sky news several times ???? so if it was never published in the papers it may have been seen on a news channel also ?

Hi All,
That WW1 war poems was a hard book to get into more a case of splitting hairs than actual poems, just a review and dissection of the poems that were penned at the time. Anyway back to the book I have just started SEPULCHRE by Kate Mosse 2nd in the Labyrinth trilogy.

Hi All,

Hi All,
So the final outcome of this little chapter is the saying Money Talks is true!

Hi All,
I am sorry I seem to have got the wrong end of the stick in this thread I mean who would actually have a favourite ? I have what I consider to be a good sense of humour and just like opinions every body should have one except not all can see the funny side of yours.
At the risk of upsetting some religious folk (NO OFFENCE MEANT BY THE FOLLOWING!) on the forum. I nominate GOD! with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek, he has obviously since time immortal has allowed us to Murder/Kill/Maim/Torture/Rape etc.etc. To all humans no matter what age/To animals/To the planet as a whole, although you could argue in his defence that he gave us free will and it is us that are in charge of our own actions ? But at the same time would you sit and let a Woman/Child/Animal be raped/Beaten/Killed etc etc in front of you all in the name of fun or whatever reason those who commit these acts give for their depraved actions ?
I am sure if you wouldn’t let this happen then it begs the question why does GOD let it ? :confused:
