I took the story as gospel and just put the spelling mistakes down to lousy typing. I'm suprised at this: I think this proves beyond doubt that british people obviously do not care about thier troops sailors or indeed any millatry establishment. Still, thank god it's ficticious.

If it was a major event i would have posted the links and been rather quick to do that the link that i think subman posted about trafalgar defects from the sun proves that obviously our own government doesnt care anymore which is what im trying to get at.

The british people need a big injection of patriotism because right now alot of us couldnt care less and id bet some cant even point to us on the map, which brings me to a conclusion of why the hell should any of our service men fight and die to be ignored.

As my nan said "60years ago your grandfather fought for the right to be free if he had been alive today it would have killed him" (he is deceased) i think we do take for granted all this freedom and few of us are willing to contribute towards maintaining it.

1. I don't get text speak
2. You posted something on a forum where people have at least a cursory if not deeper knowledge and interest in submarine matters and will immediately try to verify it as real or not. Given that it was exposed as a fake pretty quickly you got the response you did.

If you posted it in a general public forum like the Sun forums then you might get a differenct reaction.

Yes your correct i did post in a few other areas my local rover owners club and also another website.

I picked this forum because i knew the reaction would be dig dig dig because you do feel the pride in your millatry and allies and also other nations.

Like myself im more a supporter of russian millatry than the UK despite the fact im from the UK i did feel alot of shock from the kursk, however the UK hasnt lost a nuclear submarine or a submarine for a long time so i dont think we understand the issue of it to well as a ordinary person.

Scorpion thresher kursk provoked a national out cry yet we lost 8 ships in the falklands and not even got close to a sneeze we have lulled ourselves into a false confidence and this is what i am trying to understand.

"Experiment", Hoax, Joke, whatever else; this was in poor taste.

Did I read this right: he did this for what he labelled as "research"?

Strange methodology, then. I have seen psychological thought experiences that were less ill-constructed.

wow.

Im at a loss for words.

not even for the sake of research should such a thing be posted if untrue.

it is blatantly disgusting no matter what your motivations may have been.

I have seen 6 year old children who have displayed better judgment.

edit: and then to try and mask your foolishness and change the subject by chocking it up to an "experiment" and dragging the "troops" and "patriotism" into it.

sad... pathetic... inexcusable.
