Quote by kentswingers777
Should we bring our troops home?
What a hard question to answer in this house.
As many of you know mrs777's son will probably be out there sometimes next year at 18 years of age. The army has turned him into a man in 12 months, and his whole attitude is different.
He loves the army life but realsies the dangers that may lie ahead. He is ready for the challenge.
As for us the fear and trepidation that lies ahead, we try not to think to hard about it, for obvious reasons.
It seems this Government have lost their way in this tragic conflict. They seem to have lost their long term objectives, and their initial aims.
There was an ex army Major on the radio the other day, who said the main reasons we are out there, is to stop the training camps on the Afghan/Pakistan borders, from training terrorists who will in time bomb the west. He said that is a major reason why we must stay until that region is safe.
That to me seems a logical enough reason, but the time scale could be years, if at all.
The whole region was/is in a dreadful mess. Pakistan have launched their own offensives against the Taliban, but as this Major stated....the Taliban will never win on the ground. They neither have the man power or the resources, but they have one advantage and that is fear over the Afghan people.
Until that fear has been eradicated which could take years, the slaughter of our troops and the American troops will continue.
I am in two minds over this issue. Before our Son joined the army I was 100% in favour of going in, but obviously now we have someone close to us going there, it changes your viewpoint.
But on the whole I am in support of our actions, and support the armed forces 1000%.
All I prey for is that a minimal ammount of our superb troops lose their lives.
I only wish there could be some kind of timescale to bring them home, but at this stage nobody knows how long we will be there.
Most of the troops out there think they are doing a worthwhile job, and it will change things for the better, I hope so for the sake of all those who have /will lose their lives.
Keep them safe.

the bnp get votes in this country cos of a lack of class conciousness,divide and rule has always been the way of the elite and the oxbridge boys now running the bnp have learnt that lesson well
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.

bouncy, first of all, you have to come to an informed opinion of your own. you are bombarded everyday by all of the media with the justification for our forces to be in afghanistan and why they were sent. so you must research alternative veiws outside the mainstream media and make a judgement for yourself. all i would ask you to consider first is :- in whose intersts does it serve ? does it serve the interest of you or anyone else paying for it ? is it to catch the bogey man osama bin liner ? is it to defeat the taliban (afghans) and stop worldwide terrorism? or is it to pacify (terrorise) the locals to servitude while an oil and gas pipeline is built from yhe caspian sea to the gulf ? are there geopolitical interests at stake instead of the lies and bullshit we are fed on ?

Quote by Kaznkev
I am afraid as a pacifist,raised as such on my grandas knee ,my feeling is that if people join the army they must accept death as a possible consequence of enlisting
I know it sounds harsh,but the point of being a soldier is to kill or be killed,to then complain strikes me as slightly odd
of course i have immense sympathy foe anyone who looses a child,I would be unable to cope should anything happen to mine,but to support the military untill it means danger seems

Quote by brucie
elaborate. spell it out you mean?
you hook up with a girl. see her a couple of times. want to move on but dont have the balls to say it.
manipulate her so that she wants to move on from you.
and she feels bad about it...
not suggesting i would do this, just a hypothesis.

If Derek Acorah says it's true that's good enough for me....I do think it's time he got possessed by someone other than a scouse spirit though

Quote by brucie
yeah but have you ever thought that some people may want to become quickly unattractive?

Quote by Anoush
In terms of the paranormal, I am a complete non-believer.
Things that I dont believe in include -> Ghost, faries, magic, water divining, gods, spirit chanelling, ouija boards, fate.

Quote by Anoush
this might be an unpopular view, but I kinda agree with brucie.
Its entirely the individuals responsibility to make themselves attractive In whatever that is. Good looks, smells nice, speaks well, money, great personality the whole package.
If you have all of those things, and you are sitting at the top of the tree, then it makes sense that people are going to want you, no?
I not saying anything about brucie. Just saying that there is no reason apart from how I am presenting myself ( in the forums / in the chat rooms, nice guy / nasty guy, sexy / ugly.) for metting people or not.
some people are just immediately "attractive", no?

"it never happens over night"
hmmmm actually it does. the harsh truth is that if you got you got it if you dont you dont.

Some good advice above from most (not twinkle toes). My advice would be firstly, don't take all of this too seriously. As most have already stated us guys are probably in the lowest demand but highest in terms of numbers on here. As a result you may find for every 20 messages you send you will only get a response from 1 person and even that will be a no thanks. When you start letting this get to you is when you start coming across as pushy. It's just one of those things and you have to accept that you're not for everyone.
Secondly, the chatrooms are a really good place to have a chin wag and, even better, if you get yourself a cam and actually pop your face on there rather than Mr Johnson getting stroked, then people respond to that well too. The number of people I met went up massively when I started using chat with my mush on cam, not cos I'm Brad Pitt-alike, but a decent, normal guy who just so happens to enjoy 'swinging' (yup brucie you read that right )
Anyway, good luck fella and maybe see you in chat some time.
