Cotswold 0 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Right, there seems to be a certain exposition of views upon the state of the nation. Some people express views that are supposedly in the best interests of this country, and presume that they have the authority to alter the national flag. The Union Flag has served us for 300 years, yet some people think that they have a greater authority than the Crown to alter it. There have been a few posts here that have served nothing other than playing into the hands of the opposition, and plenty that would provide any un-sympathetic parties with loads of ammo. My question is, how many of the people who have expressed nationalistic views have actually done anything to serve this country? OPSEC withstanding, what's your credentials?

Jayd 0 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Bit unfair really that, because there'll be plenty patriotic who don't/can't serve... And thus do other things, which they see as their bit for the country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cotswold 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Right, not familiar with what chartpolski is on about, but hope that there can be some sensible discourse. What have people actually done, especially those who have entered into the racial thing? Doesn't have to be that hard, does it? ATB, Cotswold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
