weirdcal Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Someone recorded their kids observing the silence and posted it to snap chat. That's up there. Recording others observing it means you aren't. One of those who would update from Halloween to lest we forget at the stroke of midnight.And before you ask. She goes from wid to widnot to wid every other month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the fallen on all sides, remember Pearse and Connolly, remember the upper class twits, remember the cannon fodder. Remember the Prussian and Russian peasants. Remember the Slavs,Ottomans, Austro-Hungarians and the ANZACs just never, ever forget how inhumane the human race can be. I know I am going to get peltered for this but is it too much to ask that you just be silent for a minute to reflect in what you believe in? It might be the opposite to what I think but given that we are all silent, how will I know or care. Genuinely; yes, because it's a nonsense construct. Folk remember dead relatives all the time and don't need to be told how and when to do it. I don't need to stand or sit in silence at an allocated time each year to know that war is quite shite. Frankly I don't want to either. I know war is shite. I have never once 'remembered' and never will. I don't think about a load of dead folk. I don't need to. "At the going down of the sun blah blah fucking blah". Get to f**k. Unnecessary to me. Edited November 11, 2018 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnecessary to me.I get this but all Leslie Neilsen GIFs aside, surely it isn't a bad thing to just reflect for 60 seconds on how fucked up the planet is. We cannot fix it no matter how hard we try but lets console ourselves and realise that we are all decent people who don't wish harm on anybody except fucking Pepp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly want to be associated with it, go ahead. Otherwise do your Remembering when you want, for who you want, and not get tarred with the Poppy brush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
