Queen's Trinity Cross medal scrapped... because it's 'too Christian'

RE: "we were mostly Christian or Catholic"

well Americans are English at origin!!! Its the Poles etc

 

If I moved to Italy I'd try my best to integrate into the culture but,

I'd still be English, it's what I am.</p>

</p>

 

Yes of course.

And like Dirk said, at times he "did what he had to do"

Don't twsit what I was saying. I would prefer British history to be taught, but to also be considered from both angles too. That's surely better than being ashamed of it and just not bothering?

 

RE: If I moved to Italy I'd try my best to integrate into the culture but,

Thats your view, I would NEVER want to move to another country, You are born here and if your proud to be English

WHY MOVE FROM HERE??????????????????????????

 

Americans are English at origin?

Are they ****.

Windy, could you ask this guy if he has read American History please?

For balance like...

 

The award is from Trinidad and Tobago...can't either of you read? nt

 

Have you read American history please? nt

 

No.

</p>

A gret ****** is what you are.</p>

 

No.

</p>

A gret ****** is what you are.</p>

 

RE: If I moved to Italy I'd try my best to integrate into the culture but,

There are all manner of reasons why you might move country.

My wife didn't leave the US because she didn't love it, she moved because we got married.
Incidentally.....she's traced part of her ancestry to England in the 1800's and part is German, part Ukranian.

 

Yes, but apart from that,

great ENGLISH ******, if you don't mind !

 

I thought you weren't in today ? nt

 

Thanks..

And can you reiterate to the hard of reading that fly into a rage whenever they skim read something that this award is made in Trinidad & Tobago....

What's it called when people see what they want when they read something?

 

I'm not...

I'm just a figment of your imagination!

 

In that case I really need to see a shrink ! nt

 

RE: The award is from Trinidad and Tobago...can't either of you read? nt

yes in perfect ENGLISH

 

Clearly not....

You ranted on about being English and proud!

Just to note - I'll never want to stop you flying a Union Jack or a George Cross. i might want to add a hammer a sickle onto em but still...

 

Cringe

Is this your (new) way of trying to stop people from responding to your posts? Just ask me nicely and I'll oblige.

 

RE: Yes of course.

I'm not trying to twist anything you're saying. I think there are times whendragging up our past misdemeanours isn't helpful. Our history is important but it isn't always necessary to consider it when discussing contemporary problems. I'm not going to roll over out of some kind of guilt for someone else's actions. Those constantly referring to our imperial history could (but never do) point out that it's cost an awful lot in human terms to make England one of the best and most civilised countries in the world and that'sprecisely the reason we should try to protect what we've created.</p>

Che Guevara and his actions are both part of history. He silenced his political opponents by slaughtering them, how anyone can consider him a hero is beyond me. Cuba is a dictatorship, currently a benevolent one but let's not pretend that Guevera's tactics were a means to a communist end. </p>

Incidentally I admire your conviction that communism can work. I think it's a wonderful concept but one that completely fails to take human nature into account. </p>
