@averagejoe1 saidWell, thank every brave person and coward who fought against the Nazis.
We in all the allied countries and the rest of the world should ‘Never Forget’ what happened in the early forties. Thank God almighty and brave men. Thank you.
Not sure about God.

@averagejoe1 saidYeah watch that God like a hawk, apparently he was on both sides.

But the general sentiment of thanks and gratitude for those who fought against that wickedness I could not agree more.
@averagejoe1 saidNEVER FORGET

Men doing their "duty".
My Dad was called up when just 18 and spent the whole war away from his family.
He didn't call himself brave .. he had to do it.
North Africa, Italy, France and Germany.
(I have the medals)
Wounded and died years later with the shrapnel still in his back.
He would not have volunteered.
He certainly didn't gain anything - coming back to unemployment.
And as for gods!
They(/it) was on both sides.
NEVER FORGET
@averagejoe1 saidThank a god for the attack on Pearl Harbour, because without those pesky Japs the US wouldn’t have entered the war and we would all be Germans.

I guess the EU wouldn’t exist, as a small and insignificant consolation.

@shavixmir saidit is sad because you value the human as no more than an animal or a tree.
Why? That you still believe in fairytales?

@divegeester saidOn the other hand, were it not for the "Japs," perhaps the US not having another theater to worry about, would have pushed harder for a full-scale invasion of France in 1943 and perhaps ended the war a year sooner.

@sh76 saidUnlikely without a catalyst; by most accounts the US were resistant to entering the war at that time. However had the Battle of Britain been unsuccessful and the Nazis invaded England I suspect Roosevelt would have felt compelled to act under domestic pressure.

“Secular humanism posits that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or a god. It does not, however, assume that humans are either inherently good or evil, nor does it present humans as being superior to nature. Rather, the humanist life stance emphasizes the unique responsibility facing humanity and the ethical consequences of human decisions. ...”
