the_stig 6,614 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Soldiers are recognised by various medals. The Victoria cross being the military gold do to speak. Sure no squaddie would want a knight hood anyway. It's more a celebrity gesture nowadays., lost its true meaning many years ago when i used my grandad and the war as an example it was probly the wrong choice --- what about nurses ,firemen , that work all thr lives in thr chosen proffesion and get feck all for it .. my mates mrs worked voluntary for 30 year with blind children -- celebritys and sports millionares being made knights and dames for doin well at thr chosen proffesion -- its a joke------- hail the unsung heros . Bud sorry to piss on your post but a lot of are athletes are service personnel. Two are on there way to afghan next month there are doctors nurses firemen police all on the gamemaker staff. That's what the Olympic s. is a bout bringing nations together in sport. There not getting Knighted for doing good in there profession though mate are they. I can see Stigs point fully. If i'm honest why would anyone want to be a 'Sir'. Couldnt' think of anything worse and if for some strange reason i was to be knighted i'd gracefully decline... think a fews turned it down i know david bowie did ..

gnasher16 29,752 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 what about nurses ,firemen , that work all thr lives in thr chosen proffesion and get feck all for it They do get something for it......they get money......its called a job.... of which they study/train to earn a living,they,re not forced to do it.............................that cant be compared to top sportsman who have a very rare skill/talent.............. Theres a million and one people who could become fireman or nurses if given the opportunity.................there is only a very tiny amount of people who can win Olympic gold medals or perform at the very highest level of sport. As much as i think nurses and fireman are underpaid......they dont deserve a knighthood for doing a job that many other people could also do......a knighthood should be awarded for people who stand out in whatever they do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I did start to explain with a load of scientific bollocks but got completely bored myself after a few lines ....................suffice to say......a purebred black African will NEVER win a worlds strongest man contest.......same as a purebred white European will NEVER win the 100m...................but crosses of both have the potential to do great things between the extremes of each......as we are starting to see now,and will continue to see in generations to come...................... Lock this thread away in your attic and your gr gr gr gr gr grand kids will be saying......." ere that dosey ol cockney geezer was only right " "same as a purebred white European will never win the 100m..."
