quite right too!
you could do the same in the uk - line up the royals and the hundreds or thousands of hangers on and chop off their heads one by one starting with the Great Wally of China, Juglugs & Horseface - save 'Brenda' for last
and don't start moralising about civil strife when the blood of 200000 people (from a population of about 5 million !) from the Civil Wars aka Cromwell etc and not even to mention The Battle of the Boyne et al and I suppose the Northern Irish conflict with the thousands of murdered on the streets was just a minor skirmish ?
Please mate , do me a favour...'"
I am doing you a favour, pointing out your obviously lacking memory of the country you are affiliated with.
As I said, we don't celebrate our civil 'war', or indeed any of the ones you mentioned, my point was that as a nation the French do in fact celebrate the biggest internal struggle that resulted in over a hundred thousand deaths, mostly cold blooded murders at that. You categorically stated the opposite hence why I posted the 'facts' about your own nation, just helping you mon ami |

'"
no one is aguing that the french 'celebrate' on the 14 july, I think it's ridiculous thing to do also BTW though it does give me an extra days' holiday each year so i'm not complaining ! and why 'celebrate' the beginning of a conflict that was so gruesome ? for your information the 14th July is supposed to represent the equivalent of Independance Day in France which gave so-called freedom to the french people after the alledged supression of the 'people' by the royalist rulers (does this ring any bells with events in say India per chance ?) much like the same occasion is marked in ex commonwealth countries ie.India or Tanzania - my point is that it seems more appropriate to mark such a terrible passage in history as The Great War by 'celebrating' peace rather than mass murder - the 11th november is such a day - to mark the beginning of the hostilities seems moronic (yeah, dared to use that word again !)
as I said previously the rest of the orignal post is a good idea

| Hull FC (in conjunction with FC Voices the fans group) have organised a Heritage day to coincide with the National Heritage weekend, for two years now which I have been involved with.
We ask fans to bring along their memoribilia and put it on show for a day. This year we even had the great Arthur Bunting and Johnny Whiteley, OBE showing their "money can't buy" stuff.
The club contributed their own stuff, one invaluable item was the original shares book dating back to the late 1800's which is a fantastic piece of club history.
Hope this can help with ideas  |

| Quote ="Starbug"Why would anybody ' Celebrate ' WW1?'"
Because they made masses of money?
German chemical companies such as BASF, Bayer and Hoechst created chemical weaponry and made masses of money
Arm manufacturers made masses of money
Various industrialists made masses of money |

Independance day it might mean to some and indeed the wording says everything but the reality is it was a direct attack on the Monarchy and the focal point from whence mass murders took place on a scale not seen again until WWII with the culling of the Jews. Do the Germans 'celebrate' the murder of 6million as just a part of their wanting change against others?
As for India and the British Raj, I think you will find no one celebrates Cawnpore or Amritsar et al.
And you are massively out with regard to the Orange order, such a very few people even know about it never mind 'celebrate' it. A march by few hundred people just to annoy a few thousand people isn't a 'celebration' on a nationwide scale..I think you need to check your history sunshine

really interesting article, thanks for the link - the impact on the Polish nation is so meaningful obviously hence the commemoration (not "celebration') of that historic day
by the same token then the uk (or maybe Hudds at least) equivalent regarding the outbreak of WW1 should be a commemorative day on june 28th - that specific date would then have some real meaning I suppose |
