Nonsense, as alluded to above, imagine a world where The Taliban have their finger on the trigger?

Sorry to say it but you guys in America and England let in the Muslims and anyone else that will cause trouble then when things go wrong you all blame the government.
Lucky for me I'm from Northern Ireland so I don't have to worry about the Muslims taking over or anyone else for that matter

I didn't let anyone in. If you hadn't noticed our government, and previous governments had more or less ignored the public in almost every aspect of life.
Whether this be through immigration policies, or wars or invasions of our privacy or nanny state type control.
Don't blame the people. Blame Blair and co..
The background to this debate is the widening gulf between the nations of the UK and the reluctance of the British Government to discuss these inequalities. You only have to listen to the Coalition Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg when on the 16th November 2010 he stated, at the Hansard Society event, ‘that there is no evidence at all that devolution leads to inequalities.’
“That view is dangerously naive as the dissolution of Unions is a very real concern, we only have to think of Yugoslavia and the present impasse in Belgium to realise the damaging consequences of failure. The blatant inequalities within UK devolution need to be resolved before the people of England become totally irreconcilable to the Union”. Says Eddie Bone, Public Relations Officer, Campaign for an English Parliament
“Without national equality we will see a continuation of the unrest seen on our streets such as that of the students this month. Only English students face the prospect of tuition fees up to £9,000 and crippling debt on graduation wherever they choose to study in the UK unlike their Scottish and Welsh counterparts who pay no fees. Similarly the people of England are threatened with devastating cuts in funding from the British government of up to 25% whilst it is reported that the grants to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are only being reduced by 6.8%, 7.5% and 6.9% respectively. This inequality of cuts in funding occurs whilst there is asset stripping of England”. Says Scilla Cullen, Chairman, Campaign for an English Parliament
“Unlike Scottish Nationalists, the Campaign for an English Parliament is not committed to independence and hence the destruction of the UK but seeks a new 21st Century union in which the nations and peoples of the UK are equally enfranchised”. Says Scilla Cullen, Chairman, Campaign for an English Parliament
“Partnerships can quickly disappear when they have grown apart or have financial disputes. This is what we see now in the UK yet MPs remain distant and aloof to these very real concerns as Nick Clegg’s naïve reply shows”. Says Eddie Bone, Public Relations Officer, Campaign for an English Parliament
“The Campaign for an English Parliament urges all the UK MPs and Peers to address the growing national inequalities. An English Parliament is a solution as it would allow the people of England to feel part of the UK again and not just an ignored and despised piggy bank for the rest of the UK”. Says Scilla Cullen, Chairman, Campaign for an English Parliament
That being said, I'm not sure about the UK, but in Canada it's implied that Nov 11 mostly commemorates the sacrifices made for freedom during WWII. therefore it's incredibly offensive to use the freedom preserved through that war's efforts to wish death on the soldiers that fought in it.

Now THAT is EXTREMELY offensive to ALL the people. Freedoms preserved? Please...You talk about the death of soldiers as if they weren't sent to their deaths by the very same people who made the war possible in the first place and people you glorify(Churchill and the likes).

Though, you can be silent for a minute once every year and pretend that's how you honor the freedoms preserved, which isn't really the case anymore is it, as those freedoms are being stripped from the population as we speak.

Really? A minute or two silence? Have you people matured yet?

Veterans are treated worse than stray animals so I guess two minutes out of over half a million a year really shows you care! Please...grow up.
It isn't honouring freedoms or a War, it isn't celebrating military dominance over cesspit countries around the world, it's simply about remembering the dead.
End of.
Nothing more, nothing less. Just remembering those who died.

Pfff, first it's celebrating the preservation of freedom, then it's remembering the dead(hello, these aren't the middle ages anymore, celebrate LIFE instead of DEATH and you might understand that you are being tricked).

You can't even see the hypocracy and you say "end of" like you made a rock solid statement. WHERE IS YOUR CARE FOR VETERANS?
Originally posted by Zamini
Nowhere. So shut it, you don't care for a single one of those people dying you just want to belong to a group.
