Would you die for your country?

**amusclehead** · 01-09-2003, 09:52 PM

**** no. I'd move to another that wasn't at war

**DarkFalcon** · 01-09-2003, 09:56 PM

I'd kill you for my country and everybody here at BB.com.

**trainhard** · 01-09-2003, 10:05 PM

Without I doubt if I thought it could my country.

**cramron** · 01-09-2003, 10:10 PM

if it came down to it yes, but at this point in my life........i havent even had sex yet, hell no but ya if i was forced into war, then my mind would change

**JollySwagman** · 01-09-2003, 10:51 PM

it's THEIR country......not YOURS

**Dramascus** · 01-09-2003, 11:23 PM

It really depends on the curcumstances, If the enemy was landing on our beaches then yes, but if you are referring to invading another country or defending the countries foreign assests then no, no way.

I dont know if I would really want to join the military and be some commanders cannon fodder, id rather fight independently with close friends/family or a partisan/guerrilla group.

**ShutUpAndSquat** · 01-09-2003, 11:27 PM

I'd only fight if the future of my people were in question. Meaning, unless my ass is at stake, I'm not gonna budge for my country.

It's just a job with added risks once in a very blue moon.

The idea isn't to die for your country, it's to make the other bastard die for his

Until we conqueor them and make it our country

And yes, I would die for my country, I would just hope it would be from a swift sniper in the head or a big missle.

bump

Reminds me of "For Sale Iraqi Rifle; never fired, dropped once"

**JoeJoeJoe** · 01-10-2003, 01:59 AM

I'd die for England. But i wouldn't die without a fight.

**D&G** · 01-10-2003, 02:13 AM

I wouldn't die for my country - what would I be trying to save a rip off country full of scrounging bogus assylum seeks - great!

LOL, good to see we all love this country.

I'd die for my CLOSE friends and family, not for my country.

**rottie** · 01-10-2003, 03:48 AM

I would die for my country, but i'd take a few with me. My country has a long history of sacrifice.

Oh I'm patriotic but we get severely screwed by the Government and the country is being overrun by immigrants who have brought a lot of crime (thats a sweeping statement and isn't meant to sound racist but its very true) - I wouldn't die for this! I would die to save someone I care about though.

Why I know what you mean, feel the same myself.

You see the program on Channel 4 the other night where they gave 50k to someone based on their beliefs and stuff and when asked about immigration all the contestants said there were too many?

Should have opened a few eyes about how most people feel, but more than likely won't.

This isn't meant to sound racist but i think our government needs to reevaulate things as there aren't enough jobs as it is.

**Al_Bundy** · 01-10-2003, 04:19 AM

There is a great pride here in Australia about people dying for their country - it is seen as the most heroic thing to do, but I can't see how one extra life, ie. mine, will save Australia. I'd rather be in an air conditioned office making my fortune. Plus, I can't be drafted into the Army anyway - knee injury + doctors certificate prevents it

**D&G** · 01-10-2003, 04:24 AM

Did you hear about the place in London where they were making poison - it was people with links to Al Qeada - they were claiming benefit getting �32.50 per week and being given a place to live for free by the Governemt.

That was in Wood Green, 10 minutes up the road from my girlfriends house. On Green Lanes there is gang warfare because the Curds have moved into a Greek area, theres gangs from Kosovo and Romania round, people are getting shot and stabbed all over the place and they have had to put out permanent police patrols all because of these foreigners that have come over and started all this trouble.

Of course if you say anything against that your automatically a racist

- The only way you can say I don't like this is to vote for the BNP but then they are known as being racist and violent. I pay tax through the nose for these people to live here for free, get free money and then go around shooting eachother.

Gang shooting at the top of my girlfriends road - 3 dead, her and her friends got followed home from the pub one night by three people from god knows where - Romania or something - fortunately I was there and confronted them when they were standing around outside the house.

I hate it - I wanna move!

I would tell you move up North but quite frankly its exactly the same if not worse.

I'm all for genuine asylum seekers, if it is genuine of course, I mean I'd like to think that I was danger of being killed for something totally ridiculous that I could go somewhere but its beyond a joke now.

Al Q (however its spelt) should be shot, I don't see why you'd kill people for having a different belief to you.

**SteelFan** · 01-10-2003, 04:34 AM

I absolutely would die for my country, if I wouldn't, I would move to a country where I would. We are talking about STEELER COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

This sum's up my feelings perfectly....

**Steinkalt** · 01-10-2003, 05:53 AM

Damn right! and anybody that wouldn't is a coward.

**The Iron Lord** · 01-10-2003, 06:14 AM

I stopped feeling like "my" government represented me a long time ago. So, in that sense, it's not my country. I love my freedom, and I love the opportunity that I'm blessed with in the U.S. However, the way our government is trying to be the global police officer, and the way we try to shove our views down everyone else's throats makes me sick. So, like Chris Rock said when talking about gays in the military....

"There could be a Russian tank rolling down Flatbush Avenue, and I ain't fightin'."

"So call me a ***got, after the war I'll be the ***got with two legs"

I'd post my views, but it'd be almost an exact copy of what Iron Lord just posted, at least up until the global police officer part.

**SteR-** · 01-10-2003, 06:33 AM

No way in hell would I die for my country. All a country is, is a fking piece of land. Why lose your life over a piece of LAND?! I'd for a decent cause, not for a stupid piece of land

I was gonna let their tough guy babble go without a response, but your point is too good not to support.

Why should anyone blindly support their government? Think for yourselves once in a while, people! Good post, bigpoppaproppy!

i may have when i was young and stupid. now i realise that 90 percent of the population are a pack of morons and would choose to remain on the sideline.
