HAPPY DOMINION DAY!

[Ben Kenobi]

I am on a tablet on a train so I cannot copy and paste or type effectively to show you are wrong and or a dishonest lying turd. The link you postef specfically says thay the moment of silence was common in the 1950s but nowin 1999 the orhanization is asking for that to be revived because canafians wete not doing it.

And it explicitly shows that it is a tradition dating back to the first world war.

Firthermore, the same organixation promoting the moment of silence itself specifically descrives the day as the ladt remembrance day, not armistice day

And yet the day they are referring to is November 11th, the date of the Armistice. Armistice Day.

I have managed to show that:

1, Armistice day was celebrated on November 11 to commemorate the Armistice and the end of the first world war right after the war ended. It has continually been celebrated in Canada thereafter and:

2, the tradition of a moment of silence on Armistice day dates back to the first world war.

, you lyiny piece of excrement who deserves every heap of scorn and misforune he had ever had in his life

I still don't understand your antipathy as a marine to Armistice Day. I'd like you to explain.

Every legitimate veteran I've ever spoken too has *zero* beef with Armistice Day.

How do we really know you are a Marine, Albie?

[Al B. Sure!]

It has been calledRemembrance day since the 1930s, the English do not celebrate armistice day as you claimed by reference to the queen, and your own source for armistice day refers tothe holiday as remembrance day not armistice.

you are a lying piece of ****.

[ZEE]

ExcKuse me cKould we tone it down a Bit... The Marines cKould Be watching.

My Scottish grandparents alway called it Armastice Day but both of them were infants during WW1 and all of their adult male family members were WW1 vets. I imagine it was different with every man you know in town being a war vet. My grandfather was 23 when WW2 started while my grandmother was 21.

It has been calledRemembrance day since the 1930s

What day is it? November 11th. Why is it November 11th? Because that is the date of the Armistice. Logic suggests that it remains Armistice Day.

, the English do not celebrate armistice day

Yeah, they do celebrate Armistice day on November 11th. It's an anglosphere celebration primarily found in colonies or former British Colonies.

Is that why it offends you, Albie?

as you claimed by reference to the queen

The British instituted it. Ahh, I got it. You don't like that fact!! It's the representation of colonialism and the ties between all these countries.

, and your own source for armistice day refers tothe holiday as remembrance day not armistice.

Rememberance day could be any day on the calendar. Why is it celebrated November 11th? Because that's the date of the Armistice. Hence, Armistice Day.

you are a lying piece of ****.

I'd like an explanation as to why a 'marine' is offended by Armistice day.

[Al B. Sure!]

Your own ****ing source calls it Remembrance Day!

Remember when you made this post? http://apolyton.net/showthread.php/2...=1#post6340219

And you posted this link: http://people.becon.org/~rcl138/milestone.php

That very link has this paragraph:

“As there are fewer and fewer surviving veterans, this seems like a fitting way to pass the torch. The formal ceremonies will continue, in fact they have been growing over the past few years, but as this is the last Remembrance Day of the 20th Century, we would like to see as many Canadians as possible take part. We hope that the 2-Minute Wave of Silence will help them do that.”

Your own ****ing source calls it Remembrance Day!

Referring to what day? November 11th. What occurred on November 11th to make it a day to honor our military dead? The Armistice. Ergo, November 11th is Armistice Day.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Fascinating logic. What happened on December 25th? I guess Christmas isn't about Jesus after all.

I already smacked down this argument.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

I already smacked down this argument.

This argument only works if you believe that Canada Day celebrates something different from Dominion Day. They both celebrate the same thing.

And blag. Typed too quickly.

"Armistice Day" and "Remembrance Day" don't celebrate the same thing, of course. One is specifically devoted to honoring WWI veterans and the other is not.

[ZEE]

Ben Kenobi knows a lot aBout Jesus, you guise. You may as well just quit now.

[Ben Kenobi]

Armistice Day" and "Remembrance Day" don't celebrate the same thing

When they are both on the 11th of November, yes they do.

Why is Remembrance day on the 11th?

[AAAAAAAAH!]

That really doesn't follow, logically. It's like claiming that Christmas must celebrate the same thing as Sol Invictus just because they fall on the same day.

[Ben Kenobi]

It's like claiming that Christmas must celebrate the same thing as Sol Invictus just because they fall on the same day.

If Sol Invictus were born on December 25 and Christ were born on December 25th, it's possible for both to be celebrated on the same day and not have one dependent on the other.

Why is Remembrance day celebrated on November 11th, and not say, the 25th of May?

[AAAAAAAAH!]

When they replaced Armistice Day with a similar holiday they didn't bother to change the date.
