Utter hogwash Dave

"nothing, absolutely nothing, is worth that sacrifice of life and health. And that Keith and Teribus will not even understand that point of view."

Damn right I disagree with that point of view


"I have said that peace could have been negotiated at least twice, and maybe before hostilities even started."

You might think that but no-one else believes it (Interesting concept that though Dave negotiating for peace even before hostilities beak out) - You have failed to tell us how French and Belgian Leaders were going to negotiate their fellow citizens rights, liberties and lives away to their conquerors. The German terms in 1914 and in 1916 were totally unacceptable.


"And that I at least will go further, if Britain had surrendered to Germany in July 1914, that would have been a better outcome than what actually happened."

Now that intrigues me just exactly how could Great Britain have surrendered to Germany in July 1914 - War wasn't declared until August of that year. It is as I said an interesting idea I am absolutely dying to hear how it would have been "better", certainly better for the Germans for sure, but I do not see how anyone else would have benefited.

Are you really such a blithering idiot?
