The Second World War Started Today
 

70 years ago.

Thanks Skip!

70 years.

My kids must have no idea about the significance of that war.

I grew up in a neighborhood and family full of guys who fought in it.

My father (with the help of a brother) falsified documents so he could serve when he was 16. That was 1944.

All the best to your boy and his fellow soldiers.

Ditto, sec. Ditto.

I once made a paper airplane with a neighbor kid. His was American. Mine was Nazi.

His father saw what we were doing (playing a game, as far as we knew). He gave me a lecture that I'll never forget about drawing a swastika on anything. Game or not.

i was in 2nd grade and took a major ass-beating for the same thing. saw some swastika on the bathroom wall at school. went home and drew a few to show my old man...BAM!
after that, i'd only draw titties.
sec

This x 100.

Father God, please be with seclark's son as he deploys. Give him the protection of your full armor (Acts 17:11) and keep him safe as he does the work that I am too old to do.

Let him know that I thank him for what he's doing in my place and in the place of my children who are still too young to serve. Let him know that my 14 year old son is considering serving beside him when he can.

I pray for this protection in the name of your son, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

don't show weakness generation

Well we're probably going to have another civil war here sometime soon once Obama and Co want to start this world government. Hell he's even training his own gestapo in Georgia, to try and combat a civil uprising.


All hell will break loose.

Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

I get the whole praying for his safety, given the situation.......but not on a ****ing internet football msg board. That's reeruned. Nobody needs to hear your prayers.

My neighbor's heritage was Polish. Once I was no longer eight years old I understood his position.

Actually the Second World War started when Japanese launched an invasion of China proper, July 7, 1937. The Japanese Kwantung Army turned a small incident into a full-scale war. Chinese forces were unable to effectively resist the Japanese. The Japanese military was not only better armed and organized, they were also incredibly brutal. The rape of Nanking was one of the most terrible atrocities of World War II. The Japanese methodically moved south, seizing control of most of eastern China and all of the major ports by the time war broke out in Europe. (1939).

I'll continue to do that. Put me on iggy, man.

I doubt that you want to read what I have to say about the Chiefs as well.

2 grandfathers served in europe...one came home. i picked it up pretty quick after that.
sec

Will keep him (along with all the others he serves with) in my thoughts and prayers.

Nonsense. That was just a conflict between two countries. The invasion of Poland directly led to the declaration of war on Germany by France and the UK.

I dont really care enough to put anyone on iggy. It's just reeruned to see you write up prayer on a football message board. This isn't Church, man. Keep your own prayers to yourself

CoMo, you moran.

Is this thread even about football? If you don't want to see that kind of stuff then keep out of non football topics.

I declare war on this Polish fool.

:spock:

Only because we refused to have any sympathy for the CHINESE. Our refusel to become involved in the conflict lead directly to Japans aggression that involved the US in WW2. Without which it is very likely that Roosevelt would not have been able to become involved in the European side of the War.

The only reason most people refuse to admit the 2nd WW started in Asia is because we are mostly of European descent and have always thought of the Asians as second class countries.

Move this to the DC forum then.

No, it is because Japan and China fighting each other did not result in multiple countries declaring war upon one another.

The invasion of Poland did.

You are truly a piece of work.

Move your own fugging ass there. Or anywhere if you don't like what you read on here.

Yup.

"The Allied governments declared war on Germany on 3 September..."

Mods? Can we get this moved?

Do the world a favor and go **** off.

this.

mods?

Speak for yourself but not for me or for anyone else. I'm sure there is a pure atheist board somewhere where your views are shared.
I second CB's p[rayer for SEC's boy and for all our men and women in service.

Only because of the reasons I stated. The by that definition, the "war" we fought in Asia & the pacific is not truly a part of the second world war. :doh!:

Why don't you suck on the snotty end of my fugg stick for awhile biatch.

i deleted the post that apparently caused como to blow an o-ring.

can't do anything about the people that quoted me.

sorry to donger, if this thread gets moved.
sec

I took mine out.

CoMo is a reerun. If there wasn't supposed to be prayer here, then there wouldn't be a Prayer Request prefix Icon. Hes just a douche.

I'll be praying for your son, hope he comes home safe.

The voice of the many being censored by the atheist opinion of the few. Kind of a microcosm of America going on here huh?

Dude, there's no reason to delete your post, at all.

If CoMo has a problem with it, then it's his ****ing problem. Not yours.

In fact, I'm gonna post it, because you deserve prayers and thoughts for your son.

Thanks for those who deleted their prayers sometimes kids see these threads

Scew him man. If the little bitch has a problem with it then he can move on.

especially when he can post shit like this on the first page:
he probably wanted this in dc in the first place...whatever.
sec

I'm sorry that I started this. I certainly meant no offense to anyone who would be offended by a prayer for a soldier's safety.

I meant only to support the father of a U.S. soldier who was about to be deployed.

I'll stay out of this thread from now on.

it's the thought that counts...thanks.
sec

seconded

Stand your ground. Don't let that punk dictate what you can and can't do.

You are kidding, right?

I have no problem at all with seclark's orignal post.....none whatsoever. Hope his son stays safe over there in that shitty part of the world of terror and nutty islamic extremists.

But when turds start posting excerpts from the damn bible....on Chiefsplanet.......c'mon.......really?

If the people are offended because of a prayer or thought for a father of a U.S. soldier, then they need to grow a ****ing spine.

But thats not what you said.

This is what you said.

Huh? We had no real reason to declare war on Japan until Pearl.

Thirded

what about the turd that posted this?
in this forum...you see a difference?
sec

Sir, I understand your sarcasm meter is in dire need of recalibration.

You don't like it don't read it but do NOT appoint yourself a censor on this board. Go **** yourself with that nonsense.

Let the prayers be kept to yourself


There have bee countless number of "sticky" when CP members lose of loved one, or one may be battling a life threatening illness, etc.

People usually post something a long the lines of "my thoughts and prayers are with you" then in respect go and pray on their own.....to themselves. Praying is supposed to be your alone time with God. Posting your prayers on the internet for cyberspace (let alone a football message board) to read is tasteless and just plain stupid.

Who gives a ****? If he wants to post excerpts from the bible, he can do right ****ing so, as he ****ing pleases to.

And if you got a problem with it, well, tough shit.

And I wonder why my ignore list gets longer on a daily basis.

Unless AustinChief or one of the moderators comes out and says something doesn't belong, then if you don't like what someone's saying, get the hell out of the thread and read something else.

Or use the ignore function . . .


Or, just maybe grow up . . .

Mods?

Tasteless? Saying a simple prayer for an American soldier about to deploy in defense of your freedoms is tasteless?

Dear Lord please rain down thy divine mercy on CoMoChief. Forgive him his hardened heart, his denial that it is right to acknowledge You publicly as we are instructed by your divine word.
Father if it be they will I humbly beseech you to act in CoMoChief's life in such a way that his cold heart may melt, that he will turn or be turned to walk in the light and joy of Christ.

Zip it, you.

And the shitfest a well-intended thread is turned into because someone can't read an also well-intended prayer without getting his panties in a wad furthers spectrum of that microcosm.

People really need to learn to ignore this douchbaggery. The sole reason it's done is for this kind of negative attention.

WTF appointed you the the HMFIC when it comes to what is and is not appropriate on this board. Take your bulls hit opinion and hit the road.

STFU......go back to Orange Mane, queer.

Your kidding right? The US Marines were involved in the July 7, 1937 Marco Polo bridge incident that started the war. Our Gunboats were repeatedly attacked and 1 even sunk by the Japanese, resulting in the death of several Marines. Our troops were also strafed by the Japanese air force & Several US Marines were also killed/captured in the bridge incident.

Not sure what a "real" reason would be to declare war, but the unprovoked attack, killing & capture of US soldiers & civilians seems pretty good to me.:hmmm:

Again, only because they involved Asians, were we not willing to get involved. Roosevelt admitted he "overlooked" Japans aggression only because he wanted to fight the Germans.

I know you are right but it is hard to ignore this kind of ****stickery. I have grown weary of the atheist majority seeking to oppress the Christian minority and have resolved to stand by in silence no longer.

You worthless fool.

romper room this thread

Sorry Donger that your thread turned into this mess. I love history, so it sucks that this thread didn't get the proper respect it deserved.

I wonder who the first soldier killed in World War II was. That'd have to be pretty frustrating. It'd be like signing up for the biggest dodgeball tournament in the world and then being hit with the first ball thrown.

No, I was not aware that any Americans were involved in that fight, let alone any of them died. Please provide your evidence.

Don't know. I know the first U.S. Soldier to be killed in Vietnam, but not WWII. Sorry

Well it would all depend on when you thought the war actually started? :hmmm:

I agree. You have morons reciting lines in the Bible on a msg board.......completely uncalled for.

I'm guessing he was Polish.

The most common Polish surname is Nowak.

The most popular male names are Piotr (Peter), Krzysztof (Christopher), and Andrzej (Andrew).

So I'm going to guess his name was Piotr Nowak, Krzysztof Nowak, or Andrzej Nowak.

But then your fellow team mate catches the opponents thrown ball, then you're right back in the game!
