  the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.. "they shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.

  age shall not weary them or the years condemn.. at the going down of the sun and in the morning we shall remember them..".

  I wanted to thank you Mr. and Mrs. Cofty, and 88JM for the warm Scottish welcome on a cold night. It made my arrival in this wonderful country all the better.

  1st time for me. Filled in my mail in ballot as I'll be out of the country on election day. Taking it to the post office tomorrow.

  Holding my breath hoping this great democracy passes the 2016 crazy test. Learns from this dance near the cliff and adjusts accordingly

  I'm open. When traveling I usually like local favorites/specialities. As long as they serve beer and scotch I'm good. I'm really looking forward to it.

  I will be there early Sunday morning the 6th. Are you all available for an early dinner? I'm not familiar with the area at all, but I will be renting a car or uber to meet you all.

  Cofty, 88JM, notsurewheretogo, happyoutsidethebox, and Dozy. Can one of you make arrangements? Tell me the time and place and I'll be there. I would love to meet all of you.

  i just went to a pre screening of this movie about an adventist guy who didn't want to kill but joined the army as a medic on the front line.

  desmond doss saved 75 men in one operation singlehanded on the island of okinawa where desmond worked lowering men down a 400ft cliff to safety.. i thought this may be of interest to jws because of the pacifist stand they also have.. the movie comes out on the 4 th november..

  Schnell I agree with you. Simon I differ with you on this one. The reason he had the stand he did was due to his cult indoctrination. I admire anyone who puts there life at risk to save others. Soldiers, emergency responders and the like.

  A soldier who refuses to carry a weapon is not admirable.

  I am personally getting tired of the adulation poured upon pacifists as though they stand on a higher moral ground. It is immature at least and deadly at its worst.

  SDA is a cult and it should come as no surprise to anyone who has escaped one that this man acted the way he did. Cults have an amazing ability to get people to do crazy things.

  Saving people's lives is admirable. His stance as a soldier unwilling to carry a gun because of his crazy belief system is not.

  All diplomatic options should be fully exhausted before any type of force is considered. However believing and practicing that force is never acceptable is fool hardy.
