ppl may not like it but he has a point about the "poor soilders" attitude.

bigley was at work, so were these soilders, as were the ppl in the WTC and so was Bob the trucker who crashed his van today on the M1.

if you start making political choices based on keeping ppl out of harms way then its all over.

pslewis

No they're NOT all accidents, the boss might have been cutting corners on safety, the safety items may not have been used correctly,

I don't know - if you lot are the future of this country then we truly are doomed ............ who's turn is it with the brain cell next??

Pete

That's totally out of context, its not even a close comparison. Soldiers are there for a purpose, well so GB/TB tells us. Joe bloggs falling off a ladder is an accident and unlucky, you can't mourn every unfortunate death. Forcing a soldier north to his death is hardly in the same category.

What do you do for a living? Since when have 3 people died today at work? unsubstantiated??

Jerome

Right, so tragic accidents are being compared to a cynical political maneouvre that has lead to the needless deaths of 4 Black Watch troops? We would not be having this discussion if they'd been killed near their original base (as tragic as that would still be) in South Iraq.

Editted to add: How can you bring the WTC attack into this? So office workers have signed up to be the victims of terrorist attacks now?

johnfelstead

And i can asure you Pete, if you called certain people in this thread "girls blouses" to their face, for expressing their opinions, you wouldnt know what hit you.

Your shouting is embarasing, seriously. Please grow up and learn to debate rather than rant.

pslewis

10 people die on the roads EVERY day!!

1 person is murdered

AT LEAST 3 people die while doing their job

Its sad that 3 Soldiers died ..... 3 may have died in Basra ..... a soldier probably died in this country on excerise ..... its sad and I feel for their families ................... but all this fake hysteria is vomit inducing crap!!

SO STOP IT NOW!

Pete

Er, I think it was actually done to free up US forces so they can clean up Fallouja. Anyway, as if the US election hinged on the whereabouts of 800 British troops – behave yourself

Tiggs

"Right, so tragic accidents are being compared to a cynical political maneouvre that has lead to the needless deaths of 4 Black Watch troops?"

they were not moved there so they could die.

Mitchy260

Do you understand what compassion means Pete?

3 families have lost loved ones and you have shown no compassion what so ever. You come across all smug and like you dont give a damn.

Jerome

Indeed! I keep lead weights in my handbag.

Well said John. You often step into these kind of threads with measured, intelligent debate.

pslewis

I'll modify my original shot from the hip ........

Read my posts you IDIOT! ... you know, where they say 'I feel sorry for'

Pete

Mitchy260

People dying on the roads or at work are accidents.

A suicide bomber blowing you to pieces is no accident.

I wonder what your feelings would be when a suicide bomber decides to hit britain....old trafford/wembley etc?

That just an accident too?

Jerome

They were moved from a relatively safe area into an extremely hazardous area. Potential extra deaths and casualties, that otherwise would not have happened, were on the cards from the moment it was decided to move them.

pslewis

You REALLY are a pair of plonkers - get to bed its school tomorrow

Pete

johnfelstead

Thanks, it's a shame Pete Lewis always hijacks these threads and drives people away from having a mature discusion. The guy is such a huge ******.

Mitchy260

Were you abused as a child pete? Have you no close ties with your family?? Are you a sad loner?? Were you bullied at school? Do women laugh at you? I can go on and on

Thats what you come across as pete.

Your as much liked on here as george bush is in islam.

GET A LIFE AND STOP YOUR PREACHING!!! No-one cares what you think Pete!!

Jerome

Pissy, they may even decide to target Middlesborough Football ground. A pretty easy target, with little or no anti-terrorist security, that could kill at least a dozen people on a big match day.

Mitchy260

They could kill a few thousand if properly planned.

pslewis

Thats a shame from you John ..... I had a begrudging respect for you until now, you - of all people - KNOW you wouldn't walk up to me and call me a ****** (The HUGE is correct!!) ........................ so, you should be ashamed of that cheap shot!

TUT TUT

Pete

Jerome

I was having a dig at pissy's chosen club (hope I didn't offend any genuine fans), implying that on a big match day, there would be 12 people in total attending...

Tiggs

glad you called it a discussion and not a debate.

seems the thread was intended as a place to chat about dead soilders as opposed to the bigger picture and allow an oppertunity for differing views.

Tiggs

why were they moved?

pslewis

Bl00dy hysterically funny toooooooo!!

Go to bed kids

Pete

Redkop

I think you ought to Pete!

You wouldn't like to be the cause of this thread being locked - now would you?

johnfelstead

I wouldnt walk up to anyone and call them a ******, You miss the humour in my post in retort to the compliment.

I genuinely wish you would stop being so intentionaly abnoxious, your "style" destroys the posibility of people contributing, most of the time i just look at the threads like this and walk away, because there is no chance of decent discusions taking place as you shout people down.

Jerome

My respect for John has developed over the last 4+ years I have been posting here. Meeting him at a SN go-kart event ages ago (he's an awesome driver BTW), reinforced what a genuinely nice guy he is. Have you met John pissy? Maybe you have as your real login. I've half expected a PM from you pissy, asking me not to spoil your trolling good fun. I can't imagine your own mother would hold your SN persona in much regard. Go away and stop hijacking threads.

Tiggs

edit....i give up...its all balirs fualt- i expect he ordered the boming...bush is evil.....the election was riged...SN for prime minister

imlach

Well, i now know of someone in the Black Watch.....let's hope it wasn't them that was involved. I'm sure their families would love to read this drivel.....

pslewis

I am stating an opinion, you know I have strong opinions and air them forcefully ..... I always have (as you know) - you also know that they never actually get out of hand completely ...........................

Pete

Redkop

No, I am not having a laugh! There's far too many cases of this sort of thing lately. It's not what SN is about, one person causing disruption and thus inviting insults to be the main content of a thread and I don't just mean Pete.
