Austria, in 2003

And after a British citizen sued the Austrian government. Apparently he had lost a relative in Bomber Command. That's where we are today ladies and gentlemen; people suing to have war graves defiled.

Makes me think of the vote to ban Confederate flags from cemeteries on federal property.

Which, y'know, just so happens to include the cemeteries at Gettysburg. And Vicksburg. And Antietam. And Shiloh...

It's getting to where you can't say ANYTHING anymore without SOMEone getting offended.

He would not have died in bomber command if it were not for the Germans causing war for a second time in a century.

The Germans caused BOTH world wars not the British

This is entirely ridiculous, I'm reporting my own post to get this thread shut down.

  Erich. You fought for your country and followed your orders, that alone deserves respect.

Think of all of the people who wouldn't have died had England not caused the three Crusades within a century.

England caused THREE Crusades, not the lands they attacked.


Your words, your logic and you fail to realize how ignorant it sounds?   If you're trying to troll, you are failing miserably.   If you aren't, you should step out of the glass house.

Had the Roman Empire still existed your point would have had some merit, but it doesn't and you don't.

Of all the essential points I wrote you latch onto this tiny facet. You're not actually very good at this are you? Once it wanders beyond the province of The Ladybird Book of Logical Fallacies you're on pretty shaky ground with attention to detail and validity of reasoning. The Roman Empire was cited because you said it was hard to think of ‘a country that has caused more suffering and injustice in the world than Great Britain’. Whether it still existed or not is entirely irrelvant.

What is it with you and Stephan Fry by the way?

Well, this has gone completely off the rails.
