So how do your kids school Celebrates the Russian revolution

[yubba]

Well, if they don't know their history,, they sure do now,, if I was a kid in that band and I wasn't taught world history that covered that,, and I was embarrassed like that,, well to be honest I don't know what I would think, I do feel bad for the kids.

I feel bad for the kids too. They've become the pawns in this latest game of the right wing spin machine.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Are you some sort of wise guy? You stated I believed this is a celebration of a revolution. Nowhere did I state this. I stated this is a discussion about this being a celebration to some. Others not. Some responded in the positive. Others in the negative. I responded to neither. What part is not clear?

What part is not clear?

What your objections are.
You cannot say that it is not the time or place for something to happen and then claim you have no objections to that thing.
You state that it is one thing then claim you have never stated it is that thing.

Lets run through some again.
Why not celebrate the culture and not the war?
If you want them to celebrate the culture and not the war it implies you think they are celebrating the war(revolution)
I stated it is not the time or place for celebration of the Russian revolution
If you are saying it is not the time or place for it you are saying the performance was indeed a celebration of it.
They do not celebrate revolutions, wars or anything of a political nature.
So is this band celebrating those or is that a non distinctive distinction you make with it and your local bands?
performances in celebration of war, revolutions and political in nature do not occur at the local HS's
Same again.
The discussion concern celebration of a revolution and not a competition
I see nothing to object about unless the band played badly or the dancers were rubbish, apart from the traditional pre revolution peasant outfits which you equated with red army greatcoats do you have anything to say on the performance that doesn't hinge on it being a "celebration" as it appears that your comments all hinge on the idea that it was a celebration?
