and all those still fighting for what makes this country great... God Bless
Firstly, I think this should be in speakers corner. The 7th of Dec 1942 was when the US was finally dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 2nd World War, which had been going for over 3 years at the time. Wars involve politics and guns, which both belong in speakers corner.
As for those still fighting to make your country great, they're not fighting very well. The US had managed to finish WW2 within 3 years, but has not even managed to contain the war in Iraq in more than the same timeframe. What's up with that?
And as for infamy, and surprise attacks - or pre-emptive strikes, the US is currently in a war it started with just such an action. Be careful how you judge others who use "Shock and Awe" when you do exactly the same thing.

well first of all, it can be moved to speakers corner if you like...however i'd like to point out that this wasnt a post meant for debate of war, politics, guns or the rest... simply a post for people to remember what Dec7th is.. simple as that.. I absolutely hate debating politics, which is why one of my rules is to never discuss politics with friends... it only causes fighting.. which I hate..i'm a peaceful person
and I dont think I "judged" anyone with what I said... so little confused on that accusation
![[:/]](/uploads/emoticons/dry.png "[:/]"){kind=small}
was hopin more for responses such as ..oh yeah my grandfather used to tell me stories of that day..etc etc.. definitely didnt want to start the "war/no war" debate at all

"...still fighting for what makes this country great"
INFAMY = Judgement
This is a world community. You're going to upset people when you post about wars fighting and killing other people.
Everyone thinks their country is great.

It's not the country that's the fuck-up. It's the fighting.

Everyone's a fool. It is a fact that France is the greatest country. Ask any Frenchman...

INFAMY= President Roosevelt's words..not mine
"Yesterday, December 7,1941 - a date which will live in infamy -- The United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan"
but again, I dont want to debate the fighting!...
anyone have a "so there I was" story for that day??

He was a politician. -> Speakers Corner.
It was the title of your thread, and it infers judgement.

ok, one last try, then I give up, move the thread
someone please explain to me how the word infamy means judgment, as far as I know, the word infamy means something has a reputation due to a shocking or brutal act (from the dictionary). So saying Dec 7th is infamous due to the attack on Pearl Harbor (ie shocking and brutal act) seems fair to me... no judgment passed on what or why it all happened; and for that matter, there are a lot of days in our history which are clearly infamous for the same reason..
again, this post was just to say, Hey Everyone, today's the anniversary of Pearl Harbor (period).

I got the gist of your thread and understood it's drive and direction. I think, beyond one mod's opinion, most of the rest of the people reading this understood it as well. Infusing your original intentions with someone else's personal angst wasn't part of your plan. I think this post was properly placed.
It's sad that I don't remember any stories that my grandfather has about that time of his life...but that may have been when he was doing secret squirrel stuff.
