Alien Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 And that's the problem I have. You equate a profit-orientated football team with a national flag. Oh, and you don't have to believe in the the flag or even the nation it represents to respect those people who gave their lives for it. You only devalue the flag by comparing it to big business. Perhaps that is all people such as you can appreciate - maximising profit and materialism? Soulless capitalism. Indirectly that's exactly what you've just done. What bigger business is there than the MOD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulless capitalism. 3.3.1 The English Democrat favour a market economy (from the English Democrats' manifesto) You are the one who supports a party that believes in capitalism.

Halibut Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Though it is a shame that people (of any colour) can walk around with dreadlocks without being accosted by some authority or other with the power to tidy them up a bit. Old school trolling. Poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 This poem below exemplifies English national spirit - a love of one's country, of one's place of origin, of one's home - which is something that all people of all nations feel. Rupert Brooke 1887–1915 The Soldier If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven. This poem was written during the Great War, which the poet fought in. It is a sad poem, but the poet is remembering happier times, at home in England. He was a man compelled by circumstances and national pride to fight for his country. He died of an infection while serving in the royal Navy, and was buried in Greece. I prefer Wilfred Owen's 'Dulce et decorum est' myself. ''My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
