11th hour of the 11th month of the 11th day?

I'm just wondering why this is in General Discussion

Rememberance Day here in Australia....11th hour of the 11th month each year we pause for a minute to remember all those who have fallen in all wars. Lest we forget.

And here is the reason WHY you do this.

1918 - Germany signs an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside of Compiègne in France. The war officially stops at 11:00 (The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month)... This stopped the fighting, although it was 7 months later before the war officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919.

There is your history lesson for the day... now you can go outside and play...

lest we forget.

Very ironic, that quote. They say it all the time, but I can't help but think that people do infact forget, otherwise I can't see why troops are sent back out to war.

[mr. incrediball]

i propose we all have a minute's silence.

everybody stop posting everywhere on the forums... now

[mr. incrediball]

and the silence is over.

[radiojake]

if i had realised that you had started a minutes silence post wise, I would've posted just to break it - but i missed it

it was probably broken- i only checked club house, forum games, flame wars, spamalot, pikachu clan and next-gen gamers

remember all those who have fallen in all wars.

this government has our military in over 160 countries and pushed many wars for money.

Pearl Harbor was no surprise, it was to get the people into the war.


WW2 was funded by the rich elite bankers and they funded both sides, even Bushs grandfather gave support to Hitler and was charged and found guilty of trading with the enemy.

Colt firearms made arms for both sides,

Ford made engines for the German tanks.






why should I remember and support troops that blindly follow leaders who have a lust for power, greed and evil????


maybe you and your friends here should do research on "these" wars and then, maybe youll not be drafted for the next one.

xtra, can you please shut the f*ck up about the government for a bit and just think about the victims for once instead of pushing your bullshit down everyone's throats, for once?

kthxbai.

Didn't Guiscard prove that it wasn't actually HIS bullshit, but rather the bullshit of many other people?

Anyway, I missed it I was fast asleep because I was up until 620am watching the Blade trilogy...

[EvilPurpleMonkey]

OMFG 3 minutes till 11:00!

For me at least.
