you are so right. Why do people keep trying to justify these actions? Let'ts live in the present, and stand up for what we know is right instead of kowtowing (pronounced cow- tow - ing) (japanese word) to the government and the 'powers that be'.
too true

I wanna say sorry to Perry. People are greatfull for the help we got in the war. It sometimes seems it's more a part of our lives than others when bombs were raining down.
My father who finally gave his life up for the witnesses due to refusing blood, had survived a bomb landing directly on the roof of his house in Kingston upon Hull, thanks to him hiding under the stairs.
If he hadn't done that I wouldn't be here to shout about it. Poor lad he was as a youngun.

The moral to ballistic's story is that Germany should have been allowed to keep France. Then ballistic's father would not have been under those stairs and the British would no longer have to hear about how the US helped them in WW2.

Iron, did you ever get to read that Kipling? Anyway, please don't talk about my father within a political statment, it's not polite or considering.

No offense to your father. Wasn't really supposed to be a political statement either.

Thanks Ballistic.... not sure if necessary, but thanks just the same.
My father who finally gave his life up for the witnesses due to refusing blood....
I'm so sorry to hear that. Truly.
