In the absence of our own team for once <_<, I'll probably be supporting Sweden and Germany. The only positive side of not having qualified is that I don't get to have a nervous breakdown every time I see a match. "

Add the guy who issued the fathwa to the list.

Kirottu is hiding a bowl of... something behind that paper roll. I must know what it is.

Belgium was neutral, yes, but the UK wanted to get it on as much as the others, don't you think? The UK and Germany had been building up fleets to slug it out at some point or another, so really they were equals in terms of flexing military and colonial muscles. Having millions upon millions die in the trenches for greed is a pointless waste, in my opinion. (which you can't change no matter how hard you try ) (@Wals I hardly think that many of the trench veterans, who had been knee deep in mud, gore and corpses, would go on to fight in WW2 with enthusiasm)

Isn't it like that in all countries? In Denmark, you'll probably pick the spot as far back in the bus as possible. Looking suspeciously around to see if anyone dares to sit nearby. Oh and yeah I've been plenty o drunk in high school, one of my favorite memories was my first year, at some grand party in this fancy hotel, we all ended up throwing the fine crystal glasses around, not to mention some dudes who ran through a glass wall. I also ended up puking the entire following day.

Meh, we'd probably end up hiring mercenaries from Germany to do the fighting for us anyway, the Danish way. Seriously though, if war (however unlikely) should come to Denmark again, I'm pretty sure both Gorth and I would put our lives at risk for old Dannebrog. :cool:

So, anyone else find it fascinating that in the first year of WW1, the Germans went to war with shiny spikes on their helmets, and the French wearing bright blue jacket, red trousers... and no helmet at all?

Are you asking for tolerance towards religious fundamentalists? Not on your life.

Ditto. And again, it hardly had anything to do with freedom.

I'm only pointing out that all the European participants of WW1 were equally bad, none of the nations were fighting for 'freedom' like they did in WW2, for instance. (as in freeing Europe from Germany). The impression I gained from studying WW1 was that sending all those millions of men to their deaths was, to put it very very brief as I'm short on time; utterly pointless.

@Eldar, only one slight objection to your post, the ' fight for freedom' phrase you guys like to fling about doesn't really fit into WW1.

This is fundamentalist Islam, they'll get hold of the land one way or another, might as well try and eradicate em all now.

The ones that needs to be shot at point blank range are these religious fanatics. On their knees, next stop Allah.

Catholic school girl outfits with M16 assault rifles? Neat.

**** that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd be too preoccupied saving my own ass. I had a female sarge on a power trip in my platoon, it wasn't pretty. (neither was she)

Eddo: Spambot? or the greatest Spambot?

I don't know, when you've once been thinking about suicide, death just doesn't seem that scary to me anymore. Of course, knowing the grief it would cause my family, it's better to just be careful.

I liked 'slowly' That shows style mate... guess it was velour wasn't it?

But a lie that leads your nation and a coalition of other nations to war shouldn't have anywhere near the same consequences as a lie about a BJ... or what? I'm all for destroying those radical islamofascists basrards, this just wasn't the right target. <_<

Laconic is beyond my mere english comprehension skills I'm afraid. :D

I didn't get it. ^_^

But you're quite happy for someone else to die instead. Colonel Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, [Lonewolf16]? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for [strategic miscalculations and collateral damage], and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That [the collateral damage e.g. Hiroshima], while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What's with this condescending (I like this word) tone? If he doesn't want to be a part of the military due to conflicting opinions then that is his right. I wouldn't want to go fight for Bush and Co. in Iraq either. Now if some nation or group was to attack 'my' country or one of our allies on their soil, then it would be a different matter entirely.

I think using 3 'roll eyes' emotes in one post goes against some sort of forum rule. Edit: As does spam... soo... :ph34r:

Ban plz. :angry:
