I doubt I’d be a politician,but you never know! The point I’m making (& you are not getting),is that I am only objecting to 1,2 or 3 minute silences BEING IMPOSED on people,regardles of whether it has anything to do with them & regardless of whether they agree with the wars being celebrated! If you need to have a “silence” to help you deal with thinking something,fine,go nuts!
Just don’t turn around & whinge to everyone one else that they didn’t join in,when its a matter of individual choice!
Now do you get it?
Oh for crying out loud…Please feel free to show me the posts in which I have claimed that such silences should be imposed on people, I for one shall be interested to see them. Whether or not people observe silences is ENTIRELY up to them! And that includes November 11th – it is up to the individual. I think I said I even agreed with your thoughts on recreational grief.
The problem I had, was YOUR use of the phrase “nostalgic old fogey”, which to me implies that you consider anyone who observes the silence on November 11th an old fogey, yet you continue to skirt around that.
Like I said, you’ll make a damn good politician one day.
Good night all, I’m off home.
