"If you Google the list, you find it is a Wiki Answer provided by someone called Jmimins."
You appalling little shit
Every single reason on that list is covered in the links you have been given
Propaganda songs
Too well known to worth a mention
You have been given a list of recruitment posters and how they have been used for all the aspects in the list
The Wiki article on The rape of Belgium fully covers how the Government exaggerated German brutality.
White feathers and guilt were too well known to even merit a mention
Unemployment and regular food is included in the first Wiki article
God on our side and the role of the church can be googled at length
The Pals Battalion - google it
Patriotism - you want to deny that one?
Threat to family - Wiki again - as is travel and adventure

Have I missed anything? - if not, which of these do you deny as being a reason for enlistment
The list doesn't include the fact that some employers forced their employees to enlist.
Now - howe about a full apology and some honest responses from the corner you have painted yourself into.
