Toepoke Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I wonder how many Celtic fans just had a two minute rant and boo at work?

Ormond Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It's the modern urge to be seen publicly to grieve. When Diana died the country was a feckin joke with folk who only ever read the newspaper fictions greetin and beating their chests in public grief. Those who didn't give a toss were "heartless". More and more folk appear to be addicted to public shows of grief despite not really feeling anything. It's sad and desperate really.

Pool Q Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) That was an extraordinary performance by King yesterday, that of a man out of his depth. I actually agree with those who say that the suggestions of stripping titles is pointless, but King would be best advised to shut his yap for a while if that is the sort of thing he is going to come out with. Edit. Having said all that, I can talk, posting this in the wrong thread. Edited November 13, 2015 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potted Heid Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Its a strange thing, a country full of emotionally constipated men, who periodically get a laxative such as Remembrance Day. I daresay a lot of soldiers from WW1 would be mortified to see how we are acting nowadays: pillorying someone for not bowing deep enough, bullying people in to wearing poppies, insisting on minutes silences everywhere. Totalitarianism doesn't happen overnight. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance and all that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totalitarianism doesn't happen overnight. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance and all that... I agree with a lot of what you say. As a forces man of 24 years it makes cringe to hear us generically referred to as 'heroes'. The guys of the two world wars, yes, and a fair number who've fought alongside and saved the lives of colleagues in Iraq and Afghanistan too, but most of us are just ordinary Joe's like anyone else, not heroes. I take exception to your poppy comment though. No-ones 'bullied' into wearing it. Wear it if you want, don't if you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wembley67lisbon Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 To be honest the only people I see that seem to go overboard on the poppy thing is the media and minority Rangers fans on the Internet.. In my day to day life I don't see or hear anything about it outwith this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be their way of supporting the Government's policy of being a mercenary for hire to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
