Lance Corporal Stephen - didn't come home

[BrilloPad]

Folks, bear in mind who you're having an argument with.

I'll re-cap...

A 26 Year old jobbing carpenter who doesn't even know he doesn't know anything...

You have been warned...

Is that the oldest carpenter on the board?

I am sure my brother can find a mission for him somewhere to get some experience...

Jesus was a 26 yr old jobbing carpenter and he ended up nailed to a cross.

NO HE DOESN'T. A soldiers job is to do what he/she is told not to question why he/she is in a particular country. This is where people get it all wrong.

An occupational hazard of contracting job is that you may have to work away from home, or have less holidays. Soldiers crying 'no fair' when they get shot at is like the contractor who has creamed in ££'s for 5 years and then cries foul when he is out of work for 6 months.


UNDERSTAND??

You're getting very irate over something you've admitted you've got no clue about.

Soldiers do know what they are getting into, but they would have to be village class idiots if they didn't question (in their own minds) why they have been sent to a meaningless war by a government that doesn't understand the duty of care they owe to the military.

The military's job is to protect the interests of the country.

The pertinent question is whether or not removing a tinpot dictator with zero WMD capability then policing the mess left behind is in the interests of anybody, let alone Britain.

Nope, they're not.

Try calling a "Shi'a" a "Sunni" and vice-versa...

Not strictly true - sunnis (The extreme kind anyway) don't class Shia as really muslim.

OK, I give up

Where have I admitted I have no clue about this issue? If you mean that I said I spent "0" years in the military then your logic is quite frankly 'wack'.

i.e this messageboard would not exist in your world, because you can only talk politics if you have been a politician, football if you have been a footballer etc etc

Please explain your comment.

Thanks.

Jesus was a Jew who stirred up a load of agro with the Herodians. Therefore he was Crucified by the Romans.

St Paul (or Saul if you wish) Re-wrote history to make Christianity more palatable/saleable to the ruling Pharisees and the Romans.

The terms "Christ" & Christians didn't exist until 40 years after Jesus died. There is some thought that James, the brother of Jesus probably took over the role of head trouble-maker and it was actually his murder, not the death of Jesus that was the driving force behind the Christian movement.

IMHO the new testament and "Christianity" is all bollocks anyway developed as a MLM scam by the early "Church".

If you've spent zero years in the military then you've most likely not spent the time thinking about it that is required to pass comment.

Polictics perhaps qualifies in this regard too, but I wouldn't say the same as football (very few people have ever given their lives in the cause of football).

Please answer the points made in the debate.

No no no Moscow, Im not letting you off that easy. By your logic if somone has not lived/worked in a specific field they have no right to comment, this makes this forum pretty much null and void.

Now please apologise to me and agree to think before placing your chubby cheese puff encrusted fingers on the keyboard in future.
