With all the ludicrous speculation on the nature of the 06/06/06 date, I thought I would remind everyone of the real historical importance of this date, as in, it is the anniversary of one of the bravest military manouvers in history, D-Day.

It's far more important to remember this, than make childish comments on Satanism.

It's not the first time or the last time 06/06/06 is going to come up either.

[tumples]

i dont think theres many people in our generation who can comprehend what the two big wars were like, its all been glamourised in so many computer games and films,
ill easily say i cannot comprehend the millions (around 40 i think) who died in russia or any of that

[coheneran]

It's also the date of the Israel war in 1967 in which Israel defeated its Arab neighbours in the Six-Day War, occupying West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai peninsula and Golan Heights, the day Israel proved it's no longer a weak country, but a dominating one.

[DBoons Ghost]

I love being in NYC today.

Lotsa wackos holding up the obligatory "REPENT" signs and handing out fliers detailing the rapture and how any moment the world will end.

I love it.

[LittlePound]

yeah, despite how bloody WWII was though, still more people died in the civil war than what the US lost in WWII.
but i'm pretty sure that's just becuase the US joined the war late.

Heh, yeah, but that's the US...it's not particularly relevent.

I thought 1906 was skipped.

[PerpetualBurn]

There are other people in the world besides Americans.

[StrangeVision]

WWII was far worse than the Civil War.

[EinzingerIsGod]

WWII was the bloodiest war in history, followed by the Taiping Rebellion in the 1800's, and then WWI if I'm not mistaken. Korea and Vietnam each had millions killed in them. The Civil War is a skirmish in comparison to these wars.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I cannot begin to comprehend the nature of D-Day. It is something I can't imagine the magnitude of what happened that day. My hat is off to all the men who fought that day, and for all veterans for that matter.

Ah so only American lives count when it comes to lifes lost in war?

Yeah I like your reasoning. Very insightful.

No for real.

On a related note, the attention put to this subject (satan omg) is just stupid and beyond reason. People don't want objective data, people just enjoy buying groceries until the stores runs out of supplies, buying gas before anyone so they get fire when the end comes, Using those bunkers they couldn't use during the cold war bitching.

It's just the joy and excitement of something different going on. I would get a panic attack like that if I could.

[WhoDidTheElf]

In little pounds defence I think he ment American lives on both instances. In other words, we lost more American lives in the Civil War than in WWII. Which I think is true.

gah damn litterpound stop posting

this is so irrelevant its not even funny

I'm sure he did, however, the American lives lost in WWII are negligable compared to the countless times more British and Russian troops, as I'm sure we're all aware.

That was my main point in making this. Such sacrifice taking a back seat to National Enquirer foolishness is really wrong.

[Hababi]

it is the anniversary of one of the bravest military manouvers in history, D-Day.


Bingo. There aren't too many veterans of D-Day left, so it's more relevant than ever to remember the sacrifice they made in the most noble war we've ever waged.

[neal_672]

It's a shame so many people have forgotten about it in this ridiculous Satan thing.

It's hard to comprehend the bravery and courage of the men that fought and died that day. *salutes*

no that's not what i meant at all but considering i am an american, the american deaths is mroe relevant to me. Just like people in europe, asia, etc. could care less about the how many american lives were lost in the civil war.....

that's what i did mean

edit: I found the numbers on some internet site. THe amount of deaths in the civil war is 618,000. THe amoung of deaths (from the US) is 405,000. You also have to take into account the times, the civil war happened long before WWII. 600,000 men were killed using cannons and muskets, not rifles, bombs and fighter planes. That's amazing to me.

In any case there are better ways to word your beliefs on the internet. But yes I guess you are right in a way.

Just so you know I respect your point of view on this. :)

I think it's sad too how today news outlets instead of having stories about D-Day,WW2, and the 1967 Israeli conflict, decide instead to have stories about how some people think we're all going to die today.

[innerdark]

/salutes

on an unrelated note though. i just finished watching a thing about "The Omen" and apparently, in hebrew, 666 means WWW =O

weird
(end off-topicness)

back on topic however. the US civil war would obviously have more american fatalities as it was not an international conflict which they decided to move their *** at the tail end. but hey, it's America, let other people die.

and i think the whole american news " O my Gawd, 06/06/06, we all gonna dieeee" thing is pathetic. especially when it IS D-Day. i pray to god stuff like the " O my Gawd, 06/06/06, we all gonna dieeee" doesn't make front pages, that'd be beyond pathetic

[person777]

Every single news station on TV that I've seen today has had more than one story on 06/06/06.

[innerdark]

oh FFS, damn americans. the world didn't end in 666, or on the 6/6/0006, or on the 6/6/1666. mind you, it's popular scottish opinion that their world ended in 1966, and today marks the return of BBC soccer commentators shoving 1966 down our throats.

I'm confused?:confused:

[innerdark]

what bit, the second part?

basically, it was a (feeble) attempt at sarcasm.

"mind you, it's popular scottish opinion that their world ended in 1966, and today marks the return of BBC soccer commentators shoving 1966 down our throats."

in 1966, england won the soccer world cup. and as a result. ever 4 years, we poor scots have to cope with the BBC blatently favouring england on the pitch, and talking about them for approximately 70 min of every game.

and as for the 1st bit. me realeasing my anger at the stupidity of the american mass media

Oh okay thanks for clearifing that.:)

[|~Iceb0x~|]

I would like to mention the British success at there landing beach with use of the funnies the American's scoffed at

[Reaganista]

india stormed the golden temple!

[Scuba_Steve]

satan day? hellz no, more like marketing paradise.

[LittlePound]

yeah, it was a clever marketing ploy for them to put the omen out on this day. I went by the movie theatre today and it was all sold out.

[ledpoisoning27]

I went to a party in Hell on that date. Also, it was a good day for anyone with an Xbox 360 or Halo 2.

[slash_bmxer09]

So now over here, its already June 7th. Now I get to laugh at all those people to go find my savior because the world was going to end, and that I was going to hell. It's a perfect example of how some people will believe anything.

[LittlePound]

yeah, well hte world was supposed to end on Y2K as well. Nothing happened, no big deal. The world will end when people will least suspect it so people should stop trying to guess when it is or prepare for that date. Heck, if you were doing what you were supposed to be doing everyday there would be nothing to prepare for (i guess that depends on personal beliefs though) but regardless, nobody will ever predict the actual end of the world. It'll just happen.

[Reaganista]

I had a dream that I saw the rapture

it was cool because that's Pedro the Lion's best song and I hear they don't play it in concert anymore

[deathscreamingsheep]

Me and satan sat drinking in the local all night.

[PerpetualBurn]

What really pissed me of was that the date wasn't even 666. It was 60606. Morons.

[slash_bmxer09]

I was watching the news here last night, and some kids broke in and stole an air conditioning unit from a church. One of the members said something along the lines of, "I believe it was the Devil showing himself on this horrific date." They also said things about how its wrong to steal from a church. Yeah, so being exempt from taxes is cool too, I guess. It just shows another reason how easy it is for the media to scare people.

[KurtCobain2902]

Yes, because both sides were Americans.

[Chanandler Bong]

Hobart's funnies would have been useless at Omaha Beach.

[The Real El Capitano]

To everyone saying bla bla bla Russia lost 20 million or whatever it was, that's because they threw themselves on the fire and waited for winter. Of course it's going to happen like that. They used almost 0 strategy and relied almost exclusivley on their mass numbers and extremely harsh winters, just like they did with Napoleon. This was nothing new for Russia.

[what]

40 million

oh who cares 20 million +/- its only Russians :rolleyes:

throwing yourself on enem fire to save the rest is a great example of bravery, no one waited for winter and no one knew the winter would be that harsh.

They used strategy later when they actually got their sht together.

and uh... with Napoleon, um that was like the greatest strategic move in war history. Napoleon went in into empty Moscow and then he had to turn back because of the cold and lack of anything. On the way back Russian forces ran him all the way to Paris. Kutuzov was like one of the greatest commanders in history.
