Christmas Truce 1914

[lilchick799]

i wouldnt be able 2 kill people i was just making friends with the day before

I WOULDNT BE ABLE 2 KILL AT ALL

[ilikenewbies457]

its so sad to make friends with the enemy and the next day you have to kill them

This shows war is evil and all it want's is to be fed massive bloodshed and bodies

[GU13NA]

If i had been one of those soldier who had exchanged gifts, and met other soldiers from the other side, I wouldn't want to fight them. I'm glad there aren't world wars anymore.

[donno54]

there were no steel helmets in1914

[goodbyelonglive44]

German soldiers are the best looking soldiers ever..

[RinaJewelStar]

i feel sorrry for these people because they went off to war not knowing what they were doing to for and they were forced to go

[Metalhead15712]

the christmas true is proof beyond doudt that there really is a GOD

[MrNinjanaut]

@Metalhead15712 HAHA! Why, because us humans invented a holiday on a day and all decided it was important. THat doesn't proove shit. If the world decided that everyone must be super nice on march 15th for example, it doesn't mean shit either.

People can't agree on stuff, they did a big bullshity man in the sky

YOU ARE RETARDED!

[Metalhead15712]

@MrNinjanaut

I'm not retarded, I just see what you refuse to see. evolution has way too many gaps to be true, and i we did evole why are their still apes why didn't they evole into us, and why did they remain unchaged for thousands of years.

[MrNinjanaut]

@Metalhead15712 HAHA! OH MY GOD! too funny. when u get to 9th grade (cuz ur clearly still a little boy who goes to sunday school and believes what his parents told him at birth, along with jack and the beanstock and santa clause. Apes and humans evaluted seperatly, this is how species are formed. when a species is seperated (for example, a river divides an area of land) for long enough, the can no longer mate, and evolve seperatly.

[MrNinjanaut]

@Metalhead15712 There are NO gaps in evolution. While ur learning about that from your 3rd grade teacher, you also should know about the romans and greeks, who's gods we laugh at today (counting you retard religious people) and no one seems to see the corilation.

[MrNinjanaut]

@Metalhead15712 Just think, the stories religious people belive have only one source, crazy old men. WHo's to stop some random old guy from saying "god told me gay people are mean and bad". Everyone else says "wow cool, god said something". N

NO! Some crazy turd said some crazy shit!

Learn ur facts before you preach, bitch

[MrNinjanaut]

@Metalhead15712 and a metal head that believes in god, thats adorable.

[snuffying]

@MrNinjanaut why not?!

[nakedfrenzy6241]

I am greatly interested when they call this age the age of enlightenment. It's really a pathos feel to it... What have we been enlightened about? That is better ways to kill eachother.

[Crazeddowntownpro]

The age of enlightenment was in the 18th century. And new technology calls for new ways to kill each other. It's a part of humanity, has been since we were apes. It gives freedom to those without it, and those who sacrifice themselves to give that to us are the noblest and humblest of men. I don't think saying that gives them the credit they deserve, especially for all they've given you.

[TheDarkFrog1]

isnt that music in Enemy At The Gates?

[TheBossdave]

Yeah, its at the beginning.

[bslafstaff]

[darkjester53]

Lol, soccer is the right word mate ;) Football is American football.

[reaperflynn3]

yeah they did that and traded whiskey rassions and food etc

[Blacksmith1964]

The narration is incorrect on one point, the submarine did not surface (if you'll pardon the pun) during WWI but during the American Civil War. The H.L. Hunley is credited as the first submarine to sink another ship (the USS Housatonic) during a wartime engagement.

[benJS85]

and that football game there wasnt a certain winner coz everyone won

[runescapepk9884]

i thought my granddad was jokeing when he told me about this, apparently not

[llewellyndavies]
