No, the ignoramus is you. My statement is not untrue. I have been told that exact thing time and time again. "If you want to "remember" civilians, then do it on another day."


The only one stamping their feet and crying, is you, and possibly colpy and bl.

Whatever, I tried talking nicely to you, but your a ****ing idiot on this subject swearing at people because you disagree with them whining. Well piss on your white Poppy and the bunch of out of touch idiots who have the LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME MENTALITY.

It's what I expect from you, so no surprise.

Hardly, it's what you try to pull out of people when they don't agree with you.

I stated my case and stand by it, I'm just not going top treat you like a little kid on this.

You want to throw around harsh language and make stupid uneducated sweeping statements I'm not going to give you a pass. Those other idiots with their white poppies, well, they're just selectively uneducated and ignorant, I thought you might be above that, but apparently not.

I am Canadian.
Well you shouldn't fly an American flag in your avatar then. But, despite that, you are still wrong. Slavery wasn't abolished in Canada until 1833, when the British abolished it throughout the Empire. That's 26 years after it was abolished in Britain.

A frog on a lawnchair, now easily mistaken for an American Flag. :roll:

That doesn't mean that the civilains that were slaughtered weren't innocent Colpy. Which is of course, Gh's point.

Innocent??

Yeah, of course they were.

So were the vast majority of the soldiers killed, and a soldier under artillery fire has no more control over his destiny than does a civilian under bomb attack.

Did I state different- I posted a history link for Upper Canada.
As to the flag- answer my question and I will answer yours truthfully.
You would kill Papists, Muslims, etc. If I have included or excluded a group just add or amend in your reply.

Although at least the complaint of bombing civilian populations has some merit, allow me to give you a history lesson in point form:

1. In World War One, Germany was left untouched. The unfortunate result of the fact that your average German citizen did not witness nor suffer the effects of the war was their willingness to believe they were not really beaten, their ability to be taken in by the "stabbed in the back" myth, which was a direct cause of their willingness to go in for Round Two in 1939.

2. Like it or not, in industrial total war, civilian populations are an integral part of the war machine.........they provide the manpower of industry, which is the essential factor in building a modern military.

3. As for the atomic bombings in Japan, a simple weighing of the options was necessary. Invade, 1 million dead Allied soldiers, tens of millions of dead Japanese. Bomb, 200,000 dead Japanese, peace. Take your pick. There was no third option.


what was the statement I was replying to?


Of course, that doesn't matter, we'll just twist what gerry said to suit our agenda. Time and time again you prove how much of an idiot you are and prove once again that I feel sorry for your former students and thank God my kids don't number among them.
