Zorrro Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Ignored until they do something big enough to make us take notice? Which is inevitable... Thing is, it's really quite difficult to eradicate extremism. I can't think of a suitable method, can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

help_shiny Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Thing is, it's really quite difficult to eradicate extremism. I can't think of a suitable method, can you? clap 'em in irons, deport them if possible - if not sell them to whoever wants to torture them most and failing that send them to live in a penal colony in the British Antarctic Territory. All better options than just letting them get on with it. And as for all ex servicemen not getting cross about todays tomfoolery then I dont agree. Not sure about my Dad but I can hazard a guess at what my Grandfathers reaction to them would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more like making them stand in the middle of boundary park naked on xmas day but yours seems a more suitable suggestion...

beag_teeets Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I prefer to teach them a lesson personally, teach them respect to be more precise - cut their f***ing balls off to be even more accurate! Although I do agree with your post to some extent, they will feel invincible if acts like these go unpunished. So on the day when we mark the price paid to protect our freedom from tyranny and celebrate our freedoms that we should also seek to deny the freedoms of others to do the very thing that we are commemorating?

mikejh45 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 To all those who moaned about the rabid, demented Daily Mail......it's also in the Telegraph!!! Does that make it more acceptable or are we now putting a "quality" broadsheet on a par with the despicable Mail? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/...emorations.html Now, I have no problem with the freedom of speech argument. However, I think we have a RESPECT problem here, this small group (this year only, I'm guessing the low hundreds next year) knew exactly what sort of response it was going to get by taking it's stance today of all days. And you can't ignore it in the hope it will go away or it really doesn't matter because the media gives them the publicity they crave. Who thinks that this problem will escalate to several small groups on Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 We fear extremism too much. Let them protest, let them put across their views, and let the moderate majority see them for the ridiculous fools they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yard Dog Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Only just seen this....not sure what I think really....first feeling is rage, then I mellow and think 'perhaps they have a point'.... For the first time ever I had a pretty strange thought today....I had my poppy on my coat as I usually do, driving to a job in a, well, muslim majority part of Manchester and I suddenly started to wonder if I should take my poppy off.....the people I was likely to be meeting would almost certainly be muslims and I was slightly worried that the poppy may not go down well. I would never have given this issue a second thought in the past, but, well, I don't know why I am sharing this...just seemed relevant/topical.

Overall the lads don't have a choice and do the bidding of the government so my support remains... but I struggle with the concept of "pride" and that our service men are "hero's" these days... There is nothing heroic about what happened in Iraq... Edited November 11, 2010 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
