Day of Defeat (the Half-Life Mod)

Thank You to all Veterans

I’m sorry to hear that too.

@Gargantua:

Don’t let the mods out -{Woof, woof, woof, woof}

you are always good for a laugh Garg!!  :lol: Was in between some G40 games and happened upon the now boring GD area, and luckily you “chimed in”. Thanks for that.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the event that is commonly held to be the end of World War I: the armistice on the Western Front. Germany’s war effort was on the verge of collapse both militarily and domestically, and its allies had already signed separate armistice agreements during the preceding months. The signing took place early in the morning, the ceasefire went into effect at 11 AM.

Formally speaking, the notion that World War I ended with this armistice is incorrect. Hostilities had ended, but unlike the end of World War II, the armistice did not constitute a formal capitulation. So legally speaking, the war continued until the various parties involved had reached separate peace agreements, a process which took several years to complete – in the case of Germany, the Versailles treaty which was signed in 1919 and took effect on January 10, 1920. And the state of war with Turkey even continued until the 1923 treaty of Lausanne.

This is basically entirely to Cromwell_Dude

Cromwell_Dude, I was baptised Anglican but take the Bill Maher approach to religion currently so I am not backing any religion against any religion.

I note that you repeatedly used the spelling Moslem.  It tells me you have rather biased opinion and are looking for facts to support your view, perhaps I am wrong.

Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem?

From this I quote

A Muslim in Arabic means"one who gives himself to God," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means"one who is evil and unjust" when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.

To me that is rather inflammatory rhetoric and has little if any room for an enlightened discussion forum as this is.  Cromwell you say this"

The Christian Crusades were defensive holy wars by mostly sincere Christians against an enemy of rape, pillage, and murder.

So the rest of the world especially the middle east have it all wrong?  I suspect the reason why crusader is such a dirty word in the middle east is because bad things happened when they showed up.  Lets say for argument sake the Crusaders really were great nice folks.  How do we convince those who think otherwise they are wrong?  By calling them evil, hateful, rapists who love war?

Religion and Politics for good reason are topics to avoid during parties, particularly when there are guns and booze around.

I think we are mature enough here that these topics and be talked about if we all respect the others point of views and beliefs.  Frimmel and  LHoffman impressed me with their ability to agree to disagree.  The only reason I came to this thread is that you raised it from the dead so to speak.

@dezrtfish:

Just curious, is that the day they tell her secret?

you don’t want to know.

@Yanny:

why should Columbus day be a holiday?

Guglielmo Marconi and Amerigo Vespucci don’t have their own holidays. Those of us with any Italian heritage need a National Day of Whoopee!

NO, not WHOOPIE! You filthy minded pervs…
