It's a dead horse, man, it's a dead horse.

Which I have heard can be a tasty treat, when prepared by a good chef

Barring that, you do not have to click on every thread you have previously subscribed to every time a new post appears. I am still subscribed to the (nearly antique now) "tank explode" thread, but seldom bother reading it, unless I notice a flurry of activity, that catches my interest.

Duh? Is that what you read from my statement...?

I wouldn't hold a grudge against any of the Axis soldiers who were doing their duties either, and certainly not their descendants.

Actually I was agreeing with you.

It's not because of any negative connotations to the term invasion, it's because you went out of your way to make an inaccurate list that implies the US invaded all those counties.

The example I showed of Normandy (which you excluded) is a prime example of a positive connotation of the word invaded.

And when I said "I am more offended", if I took this on a scale of 1 to 10 with the ad being a 1, this would be a 2.

And while you can attempt to put blame solely on the person claiming offense, that is a weak argument for acting or saying inappropriate things. For example, if you use a derogatory word toward someone you can not excuse yourself and say "they chose to be offended".

The irony is that you don't appear to be aware of exactly how accurately you're demonstrating my point. As I said earlier ... welcome to the land of the terminally offended.

Invading means putting one country's soldiers on another country's soil. It says nothing about why that occurred.

If you'd like to have a discussion about why the USA invaded all those countries, I'd be happy to ... but let's please move it to The Pub ... where such discussions belong.

I still can't understand why you guys are getting so whiny over Pete's advertisement about something that's intended to be FUN ...
