Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Never is, Nick! Many European countries held ceremonies...how fortunate we are, having never been a conquered Nation...or suffered the aftermath when freedom came. 704478[/snapback] Fortunate? This country needs a good, brutal foreign occupation to get it's priorities back in order.

dib Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I am ashamed that I was not near a computer yesterday to start this thread. Thank you boys, and thank you board for remembering.
ACor58 Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Too late. Yesterday was D-Day, the end-all and be-all of WWII. Nothing ever happened on 6/7... 704461[/snapback] Not true. On 6/7 the French turned back into being ungrateful fu**ing @ssholes!
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Not true. On 6/7 the French turned back into being ungrateful fu**ing @ssholes! 704644[/snapback] Don't kid yourself. They were never all that grateful to begin with. Particularly the Normans. But then...ever see pictures of Caen, St. Lo, Cherbourg, or Villers Bocage? If the US and Britain bombed you back to the stone age, you wouldn't be grateful either.

stuckincincy Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 Fortunate? This country needs a good, brutal foreign occupation to get it's priorities back in order. 704607[/snapback] That's an unflattering estimate of our citizenry. When crisis occurs, we stand together.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 That's an unflattering estimate of our citizenry. When crisis occurs, we stand together. 704661[/snapback] It's an accurate estimate of our citizenry. People B word when Presidential debates preempt American Idol, for !@#$'s sake. When crisis occurs, modern America turns into a sappy, weepy weak-kneed bunch of pussies. You think this current generation of Americans could storm Normandy? They couldn't even storm Somalia. Your sychophantic and ignorant chest-beating for the WWII generation may be ludicrous...but they at least did have drive and grit and determination. The current generation of Americans defines "sacrifice" as a cell phone with less than a dozen ring-tones and only 30GB in their IPod.

cromagnum Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Thank you, Sybil. 704689[/snapback] I believe he's right.
stuckincincy Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 I believe he's right. 704700[/snapback] I don't.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I don't. 704703[/snapback] But we've already established you're a fool. Jury's still out on me, I think...
