whats rememberance day?

___________________

I wish i would care more about rememberance day Really, i mean it just feels the same every year. I dont know why but i dont really feel sad even though that i know many died for our country. am i the only crazy one? If i grew up during the time of the war, that would be different, but i think many of the younger ones will become more lost and 'out of touch' with rememberance day and the sacrifices of soldiers. its too bad rememberance does not have a very good impact on me and i wish it did

whats remeberance day?!?!?!

[sarcasm]considering the amount of effort putten into war by Canadians, memorial day is a very important and significant event[/sarcasm]


That being said, I don't want to enter a flame war against people who think Canadians saved the world, hence I run away and hide far far far from this thread

hehehe jk

Well.. Let's see.. In theory, you should respect the people that fought for your freedom and liberty, sacrificing their lives, etc etc.. If you can't find a place in your heart for such respect, that is trully sad, considering the few remaining people of that era will be no more soon...

On another hand (see my previous post)< Canada not being touched even remotelly by WW2 (in fact, it was a period of great economic growth for Canada), I can UNDERSTAND why such values as veneration of war veterans is lost to you: you simply have nothing much to value.. I mean, yes, most of the few canadian soldiers sent to Normand shore died, but it's not like there were defending Canada or anything (if not interests).. They were simply the serving corps of the (mostly) volunteer army, and were to fight according to allie's requests...

So yeah..,. Here's my explanation to your apathy towards rememberance day

Poland didn't really gain true independence till just over a decade ago.

And KKD, Canada volunteered to help because the people over in Europe really needed the help. Few Canadian soldiers that died in Normandy? FEW? Wow, what ignorance...its sad to have you living in Canada...if most people in Quebec are like that, then you guys really shouldn't be a part of this country No, I don't think Canadians saved the world, I don't think any Canadian does...but they made a significant contribution to it.

for every Canadian soldier that died in that war .. an American, British, Australian, Chinese, French, Indian, Polish, etc. soldier didn't have to. i don't think anyone volunteers to die unless they feel the cause is worth it ..

i'm not trying to enter a flame war with you .. no one is saying that Canadians saved the world, people here are just trying to show some respect.
