And your point being? Man, have some respect!

That war was just so sad. And so pointless. A moment of silence for all those who perished.

Honestly, I could care less, but if you're going to be proud of a war ending, then fine. (Not that I'm saying that the war should have kept going mind you). I just am not proud that we continue to celebrate the fact that a war WE PARTICIPATED IN ended. Strange logic on my part, yes....but I think it's a waste of my time. But a moment of silence, out of respect.

A moment of silence for everyone who died in World War I, and for the health of the 1,000 still alive today.

I beilieve Calvin Collidge once said "The nation which forgets it's defenders will be itself forgotten."

Glory be to the dead.

Amd twenty years later, they started it all over again.

First, a moment of silence.

Why not? We went in, kicked ass, took names, liberated Europe from Imperial Germany. It was a good cause, in the end.

Forgive me for not really understanding verilon's logic.

He doesn't understand it himself.

I mean, no shit we're celebrating the end of a war that we fought in, otherwise we wouldn't be celebrating the end of it.

We don't celebrate the end of foriegn wars we haven't fought in, do we? No, we don't.

Why? Because we didn't fight in them. Simple as that.

So to sum it up, verilon: just be quite.

11 November is also the day we respect the dead of all wars, IIRC.

True, but IMO all wars are pointless. And *points at title* THat means nothing to you? *yawn*

As opposed to oppression, repression, slavery, and genocide?

If all wars are in your opinion pointless then shouldn't you be celebrating the end of WWI, arguably the best argument for world peace in human history?

Okay, so I am not at my most coprehensible when I am sleep depping. Sheesh. I just don't like the idea of killing people en masse when not necessary (ie, WWI), especially when it oculd have been avoided.

when is killing people en masse necessary?

In defense, supposedly. But I am not going to waste my time getting flamed, so I'll step out now.

World War One was pretty much unavoidable, you know.

And yes, we're not celebrating the war itself, but the END of it.

It's also to respect the dead from all wars, IIRC.

I understand this. Again, I am not the most coherent person in the world when sleep depping.
