Hardly, its quite simple, while i do think its an interesting question, do you seriously think that in this forum the thread won't go south, or are you just very naive/trolling?

I'll discuss this with you dude, it takes maturity and there's a distinct lack of that type of behaviour round here.

So my opinion is for one, its just the typical Liberal Media machine trying to make a story out of anything, kinda like kids trying to get each other in trouble is how I view the media to be honest

The old guy still cant let go of the pain caused by war, many people cant on both sides or, any side for that matter, present or past, war destroys peoples minds too as well as their bodies, and anyone with any direct experience with war maybe will understand why I know this, wether they care to admit it or not.

I personally feel sorry for the man, because he will take this pain he has in his heart to his grave, this is in most people rationalised by anger and hatred to the people that were once the enemy, which is what he appears to be doing.

The behaviour you see in this man is one of the many effects war has on most human beings, some in the passage of time are able shake away those feelings and be able to forgive not only the enemy, but themselves.
But sadly many cannot, many commit suicide, many destroy their own lives and familes because they are trapped with the memories, feelings or even just the mind-set you have to adopt to stay alive and stay rational in those circustances.

Our Country at present is creating a whole new generation of young men and women that will carry the scars of war on the inside as well as out, just the same as it has done since time began.

Sure, it is the new trend. I call this the troll news. Daily Mail is not exactly a solid news portal, because it periodically publishes weak, inappropriate and even false stuff. Don't take too much of what they write into your heart, because it is what they want from you.

Lets be honest there is not a single country in the world that is entirely devoid of naive bigots... Same old s***, only the depth changes!

I've noticed a lot of this actually.
As an American I'm firmly aware of our English origins. The breadth and might of the British empire was astounding and brought the light of civilization to most of the world. Hard to believe most don't appreciate that.
