agree with Stoatie, I don't often say this but what a completely nasty and shit thread to start - you are something else. Horrible and completely stupid and disrespectful.

if that is what you meant, then word your thread appropriately not in the crass way you did. what you put and how you said it was awful.

The OP is being misread, or rather not read & only the title is being read.

I get your sentiment but you could have worded your thread title a little more sensitively.

Report

stoatie · 29/05/2011 22:03

It is not the sentiment of what you are saying it is how you have worded it.

well you don't have to. If it is on TV switch over. If it is in the paper don't read the story.

Moronic thread title. You must be a real twit.

I am not thick - my OH was in the services - has fought in conflict. I do agree with your viewpoint but not how you have worded the title -

Does anybody like hearing about soldiers being killed in Afghanistan, then?

CrapBag · 29/05/2011 22:05

I think the OP means that we shouldn't be out there fighting and people losing their lives, therefore we need to pull out, not that she doesn't want to hear about soldiers dying FFS.

I dont think op means she is sick of hearing about it i think she means she is sick of hearing about the total waste of young lives who have their whole lives ahead of them still.

Forgive me if i am wrong op.

I guess when you hear it every day you grow so used to it, it kind of goes over your head. I know its terrible for the families involved but when it happens almost every day I guess it makes you wonder.
If I am true to myself I think it's a lost cause and one by one our men are slipping away.

MadamMemoo · 29/05/2011 22:06

She isn't a troll, she just worded it badly
