I don't think that works particularly well as a put-down, considering I joined in Jan 2008 and you in Feb 2013. In other words, your post rate is somewhat comparable.

It was me that mentioned heroes, but I was quite clearly referring to the men who fought in WW1 and WW2.
These men were conscripted, made to fight, they weren't idiots from the street who couldn't get a job, they already had jobs, but they fought to save this country from the Nazis, they genuinely fought for all of our freedoms.
I am against almost all wars, and I used to buy a white poppy for that reason, but I realized I was wrong, the men (especially of WW2) deserve all of our respects, and they are all of our heroes.
I understand there's a dark humour to what you say, and it is hard to convey that humour in written posts, but I do urge you to read a little about WW2, as I don't think you grasp quite what that war was about, and if that's true, it's a very sad indictment of our education system that you don't.
Without the men and women of WW2, who sacrificed their families and lives, you wouldn't have the comfortable life you have, none of us would.
It's about respect, that's all.

I'm glad Foster said no. Julianne Moore is much better IMO.
I'm not a fan of the series though.

Well said. My Dad (now 90) was a tank commander in Italy during WWII fighting against the Nazis, for which he was awarded the Military Cross. He lost many good men in the fight and what they, and many thousands more did to defend us against an abhorrent regime cannot be adequately described in words. On the anniversary of D-Day, that's well worth remembering.

He'll never change, just gets off on being controversial. I would change short to permenant or has been swatted.

One of my neighbours was part of the allied forces on D-Day, and very sadly, he died this morning on it's anniversary.
I think it's interesting how it was stated many cartoons made in the forties and fifties wouldn't get past censorship/classification for being too violent today. I will say the same about the Supermarionation series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. An incredibly dark children's show, especially compared to other light hearted marionette shows like Thunderbirds etc.
I also saw Fantasia on BBC Two over the Christmas holidays, as good as it's always been and definitely one I'll getting on blu ray!

BB, just catching up in this thread and, having thought about it, it doesn't sound that to be honest!
Unless of course you meant to say 'blown up'??
