Laurie's thought of the day.

Really? How can you not agree with everything I say, I'm the most logical and sane person on the .org - I just have a habit of speaking my mind and not bowing to lefty, tree-hugging, liberal, PC pressures and whims, and nor will I suffer a police state?

There's nothing wrong with having a mind that can still think freely, and a will to act freely too

Hang on, just going to check that I'm ok to respond...

I'm back, they say I'm allowed to acknowledge your freedom of speech as long as I understand it doesn’t apply to me.

Ah, a paraphrasing of the oft misquoted Voltaire - “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

These were not actually his words, but rather those of Evelyn Beatrice Hall, written under the pseudonym S. G. Tallentyre in her 1906 biographical book The Friends of Voltaire.

I feel honoured - I am Lozzos hero.....

Look at it another way. A footballer that kicks a ball around the pitch for 90 minutes get £100,000 a week and a hero's lifestyle. Our men on the front line are putting their lives on the line everyday and get somewhere in the region of 0.5% of that wage. Some things in this world are seriously messed up!

Hmmmmm it looks to me like Loz is arguing with himself...does someone have me on ignore or something and that means I can't see theirs posts or am I missing something?

Always have been, always will be.

This 'thought of the day' appears to have been had by a few thousand people all at the same time across the net, weird that. Look here

Anyway, I have the utmost respect for those that have lost their lives and their families. I don't see that there is any relevance in comparing them to a football team though. They are separate groups of people that just happen to have chosen a different direction in life. Not everyone would want or even suit a military career, I don't respect them any less for that.
