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.

My husband gets paid to work as a chef, cook food.

He does not get paid to kill children, mothers or fathers.

What the armed forces do is as a result of being ORDERED to by the government - aim your anger at Tony Blair, not innocent wives/girlfriends nad partners who sometimes need an understanding ear when it comes to daily life in the forces.

Get a grip and move on. You are being very out of order.

because that is what armed forces do. Someone gives them money, and in return, they kill families. That is how it works.

not mumsnetty at all!!!

I Fucking totally disagree with you - but you ain't worth an argument.

How is the Forces topic linked to killing children, mothers and fathers?

Pan · 22/06/2007 12:40

hmm..again..I haven't expressed one view about world events..just the practice of killing children, mothers and fathers not being very mumsnetty. Infact, it is the total opposite......

is anyone disagreeing with this??

Desi!! I didn't say the army were terrorists????? At all.

just will re-state "Killing children, mothers and fathers is not very Mumsnetty". Infact, the total opposite.....

soooo why is it elevated to a 'special section'..on this site.....

OP posts:
jinxed · 22/06/2007 12:36

Pan, im sorry, but i dont think the forces section is there for debates on what is or isnt happening around the world.

For a lot of us, being attatched to the forces through love for a partner brings a lot of stresses and worries. Surely we have a right to find solidarity with others in the same position.

Surely not much different to ante-natal and post-natal groups on here who are experiencing the same things at the same times.

I find your post distasteful.

Still, there's someone else on MN who thinks the army are all a bunch of terrorists, so why don't you go seek her out: start a little thread all of your own.

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".

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!!

OP posts:
allieBongo · 22/06/2007 12:27

now, the crocs debate, that is mumsnetty

allieBongo · 22/06/2007 12:27

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

colditz · 22/06/2007 12:27

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

Pan · 22/06/2007 12:25

Hmm..could be Allie!!

Still what remains is "Killing children, mothers and fathers is not very Mumsnetty" remains.....no riposte yet????

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."

TootyFrooty · 22/06/2007 12:10

Looking for an argument are you Pan?

nickytwotimes · 22/06/2007 12:08

don't be pedantic, pan, the implication was there!

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
