Forse's sweethearts section

I know I've been away for a bit, but where did this come from in my absence??

tbh, I do find it a bit distasteful to have it there.

not wishing to be controversial at all. But v. curious.

why distasteful?

Report
Pan · 22/06/2007 11:24

prob. depends on your view of the British Army/Navy/Air Force and what they do. I guess.

I am assuming this 'facility' is restricted to the Brits??

and, have assumed this sort of discussion had already been gone through whilst I was away......

I can't understand why it would be distasteful.

Why distasteful?

The new section was requested by some MNers (wives and partners of men in the Forces) so that they had somewhere to chat with other women in the same position, and to post those questions and problems which don't affect most other posters. Army housing, facing long stretches away from partner, worries about postings, that kind of thing.

Why would you find that distasteful?

oooh just in view of their "tasks" around the world.....

and is it restricted to Brits?? just curious...

doesn't seem distasteful to me. it doesn't exclude "sweethearts" from anywhere.

i agree, i don't like what the forces have done in iraq, but from people i know, neither do they! also, forces do things, eg peacekeeping that are good?

It's not about the members of the Forces, where ever they happen to be or whatever ^tasks" they are being expected to carry out.

It's about their partners, who might just need a little support from people in the same situation.

And why would it be restricted to the Brits? Mumsnet isn't ...

Just because you don't agree with their taks around the world, doesn't mean Forces wives/partners shouldn't be allowed a topic all of their own

Pan · 22/06/2007 12:08

not said anything about my views or otherwise on world events, least of all Iraq.

Looking for an argument are you Pan?

Pan · 22/06/2007 12:19

no no no!! One doesn't have to go looking for arguments round here!!


just well,...it's the being paid to kill children, and mothers and fathers. Not very Mumsnet it is?? And being subsidised whilst doing it. just curious.

Basic premise. "Killing children, mothers,and fathers is not very Mumsnetty."

Well, bum sex probably isn't very mumsnetty either, but it doesn't mean we don't talk about it.

it's not very anything, but one of the hideous things that occurs all over the world. (as you said, not just british forces)

bum sex IS VERY mumsnetty!!!!

but you see my point and why I do see it as distasteful? To have it at the top of the board so one can't miss it.

anal sex ans slaughtering innocents isn't in the Up with bumsex, down with killing families, I say!!

WTF is happening?? Am becoming as careless as cod.

it should read "bumsex and slaughtering families are not in the same league."

and

"Up with anal sex, down with slaughtering families, and that sort of thing".
