May 25th - More than about towels
16 years ago
Towel Day? Towel Day?
I'm assuming that FurAffnity is headquartered in the UK or something, right? Because no American company would overlook Memorial Day over Towel Day, right?
Let's be realistic here. Anyone familiar with Operation: Sea Lion? Had our boys not helped turn the tide at Normandy, Nazi Germany would have tried to invade Britain and they had a list of people... civilians... that would be captured and killed. People like celebrities, actors... and yes, authors.
People who were assumed to be homosexual? Rounded up and carted off to concentration camps. People who were too liberal? Carted off to concentration camps. People who were Jewish? Carted off to concentration camps.
You see, Douglas Adams was great and all, but Memorial Day takes precedence. You have to be free to be able to write and publish your works and our soldiers throughout history have made this possible.
Surely no American would willingly overlook Memorial Day in lieu of a trendy sci-fi thing. Surely.
"War - What is it good for? Absolutely nothing." Yeah, if you overlook the fact that it has ended slavery, overthrown tyranny, liberated the oppressed, and ended wholesale slaughter of innocents... yeah, then nothing.
Everyone please take time today to remember those who have fought and died for us, and those who continue to sacrifice. While some people are worried about whether or not they forgot their towel, others are worried about whether or not they will see their loved ones again.
Never forget.

And fact is I think FA is American and that Nek0gami is based in Florida, it's just some Americans are a little more humorous and a little less patriotic than their brethren XD.
Now lighten up and grab a towel :P
War may be an ugly and dark thing, with people on both sides getting killed and possible property damage. But at times it is a neccessary thing. No matter what certain people feel about it, our troops had at least gave people hope, security, liberty and freedom at any heroic cost, in all the wars we have been invovled in. I had two grandfathers from WWII (they survived the war but are both dead now), who made a whole lot of difference, and a dad from Vietnam (he's still living) who have been part of somethng that did a great deal of good there.
I don't know what this towel day thing is, but I think FA has one of the dumbest senses of humor I've ever seen (and I still find it annoying that they give me a mature filter but then torment me with furry porn ads xp), so I'd rather be celebrating the real holiday. :p
