Ideation 8,216 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I agree with a lot of what you said. But also given how a lot of people on here think, it might be worth bearing in mind that past generations went to war both to keep a 'british' way of life etc but also to stop the world becoming a place ruled by violence, where governments and leaders use force to bully people who are different than them or think differently. I think most of them would have found all sides of our present conflicts fairly depressing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timjim 43 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 dont think our grandfathers would be happy with us all drivng german cars and watching japanese television sets either! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 dont think our grandfathers would be happy with us all drivng german cars and watching japanese television sets either! To be honest mate i don't think that was the point. Those guys didn't go to war because they hated japs of germans, they went to war (at least in their own minds) to defend a set of ideals and and to preserve the world they knew. Part of those ideals was not judging and opressing folk because of their country of origin or religion or skin color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Course they would have. They fought for their lives and the lives of their partners, brothers, sisters, parents. Don't forget the battles weren't all fought in places only seen on the news, bombs were raining on their homes and killing their loved ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 They wouldn't know the place today, greed, backstabbing to get ahead, people thinking they are better than one another, back then they knew their neighbours, shared whatever they had, helped one another, Today people are only concerned with how they can get ahead in life, rather than helping others along the way... Maybe in the hard times to come, (recession) people will begin to see the error of their ways.. They had to protect loved ones, as i'd like to think we all would if the time arose where facists where looking to overthrow our way of life...... Snap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know where you coming from mate but 60 years ago the world wasn't a worthers original advert. Sure there was better social cohesion in some areas but there was plenty of greed, back stabbing, people thinking they were better than others etc Not everyone shared and cared etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 There was a certain ammount of greed etc, back then i agree, But in todays society its rife, morals seem to be all but gone..... Snap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 some good replies guys i just wanted to put it up as some of my past generations from britain/england and my great grandfather from poland fought in ww2 he came over and flew in the RAF so just wanted to see a few opinions as i know they fought first and foremost for their family but they also had a sense of duty sort of unselfishness that todays people aint got now im 29 but i have a lot of time for the older generation its just where did it go wrong ?
