back in 1918, on this day, Veterans Day was established
today, and everyday...
Thank a veteran or someone serving in the military.
They have given us many freedoms we take for granted.

Today was Armistice Day in the UK, where we honour all those service people who died. It is customary to hold a period of silence at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month every year. The significance of this date was it was the time and date that the peace treaty following the first world war was signed.

No it commemorates all those who died in the war and has been entended to all service men and women who have died in active duty defending the greatest nation in the world (England) and all it own's (Scotland, Wales) and all it illegally occupies (Northern Ireland).

I dont really feel I owe anything to those who fought in a war... my grandpas fought in the civil war and I dont feel I owe them my actual confort... my life probably would be better if that war hadnt existed... and if people hadnt fought there would have been no war... I would not fucking take part in a war... before I would just leave to another place

well, I understand that if your country is being invaded, then people fight for their country or lifes or whatever... but I odnt feel proud of the people who fighted... I feel proud of the people that discovered gravity. electricity, radio, inernet, new medicines... those I am proud of... the others where just part of a sad past... I would never fight for my country...cos I have no country... country is nothing... I would search for another place where I could live

LOL. What a tool, no offense, but seriously.
So you will reap benefits of a country, and for those who FOUGHT to GIVE you those rights, then when time comes to MAN UP and STICK UP for those rights for people like CHILDREN and your GRANDCHILDREN, you are gonna run outa the country?
LOL, wow. Must be nice.

But, those people (maybe not the best examples, but janitor is a good enough one) are much more important to society. Several countries don't have a standing army, no countries do not have janitors.

saying you dont HAVE a country is one of the most gutless, pussy things i've ever heard anyone says.
No one is gonna agree 100% with the country they live in. But no matter where you go, it's not going to be perfect. If you are a fukin MAN and not a little girl then maybe you wouldn't run away from your problems in your country (whatever they may be).
And nacmat, what happens when someone comes and pushes you around. You gonna packup your home, your children, and jet for another country, only to have it happen again?
LAFF!

say what ?????????????????????????????
if hitler would have won wwII, would this be a better place ?
i dont know about your country but here in america, i live in the most freedom country in the world, im free to do about anything i choose to, there are penalties for illegal actions of course.
but america is the freeist (sp?) country in the world
everyone is free
wether you choose your freedom, or choose to be enshackeled by societies opinions is another story
people are FREE to move up/down social classes, that cannot be said in a lot of other countries
LET FREEDOM RING.

if someone hits me, I dont hit him back... I leave... if he hits me, probably his life is shit, mine is not, I dont need to hit anybody to feel like a real man
maybe I am a little girl like you say... but again, I think you have the concept of war very much inside your brains, like if it where the only way to survive to the enemie... when probably there would be no enemie

You've obviously never experienced real oppression. I find it pretty sad that you don't feel you have a strong cultural identity. I am British and if I needed to fight to defend my nation, my freedom and my people then I would do it.

In my opinion it would be easy to oppress you because you won fight back.
If someone hits me, i am swinging on em. Unless my friends hit me because that shit happens all of the time.

exactly. People look down upon various people (like Janitors) because they might not be making millions or because they look down upon their job.
