Re: Thursday A day not to forget
The life of one million animals is not worth the life of a decent human being imo (of course people like Mugabe aren't worth the life of a gnat!). I am sickened that some should want to give equal weight to remembering animals, whose suffering cannot be compared to that of humans, in all the conflicts we have been involved in. A purple poppy is as sick as the white ones of peace activists.Re: Thursday A day not to forget

Re: Thursday A day not to forget
In the United States it's a slightly different holiday, Veteran's Day. Here we not only honor those that have given their lives but all who have served. I put up a seperate thread to voice my opinions so I won't repeat them here. If I am angry it's with the men that start wars. War is insanity IMHO.Re: Thursday A day not to forget
I observed the moments of silence at 11:11 am this morning of course. We can thank those who died for the freedom we enjoy today......Re: Thursday A day not to forget
I too observed the 2 minutes silence at 11am today. I was in the supermarket and they announced it was 11am. Everyone stood in silence, you could hear a pin drop. My thoughts were with all those who have lost their lives in all wars and their loved ones left behind. Had special thoughts of the troops still fighting to protect us. My Niece's hubby was one of the very lucky ones who came home from Afghanistan recently, two of his mates didn't.Re: Thursday A day not to forget
