Hmm that depends...are they a sexy invading force like the chicks in The Warriors or are they the kind that would beat me to a pulp like the blokes in The Warriors?

Hmmm... I'm going with the kind that would rape, shoot and kill you (and not necessarily in that order either) and your family.  

Oh- and they'd all be men.

a) if the poor volg has been forced into duty & just wants to get back to his wife & children
b) if the volg is a crazed psycho desperate to stab you in the eye
c) if the volg is a member of the royal family
d) If the volg will be paralsyed for ever anyway
e) if the hospitals are all full up & theres no food, medicine or shelter for anyone
f) if the invasion is all but over & tescos has re-opened & everythings hunky dory
g) if its all being filmed for some extra terrestrial TV reality where points are rewarded for ruthless savagery
h)if its all being filmed for some extra terrestrial TV reality where points are rewarded for selfless humanitarianism
i)when the volg reminds you of your mother
k) when the volg looks is devestatingly good looking..

hmm, its a toughy

I was going for a 'yes or no' vote- but I couldn't even make that work right.  Twice.

So it's a not a vote at all, I'm afraid.

I reckon it's probably OK to put the enemy out of their misery...

"Wait!  It's only a flesh wound!"

BAM!

Hahaha!  I did, actually!  I saw it on TV as well.

Fair's fair, though- simpler time and all that!  I reckon one guy getting shot down, who wants to sit the war out, isn't the same as the screaming hordes fighting in the streets.

Tell you something else- those kids would've been hung as traitors!

  (;      or whatever means laughing !

 In a way  ,i would think not as they shouldnt be there in the first place.

 There are however a lot of factors to take into consideration and i am not a DR and wouldnt know what to do anyway.Perhaps on the spur of the moment but otherwise No.

Personally I think you'd be a moron to be in an invading force in the first place, but that's proven in the past to be a fairly controversial opinion. So I will say no. People is people man, invading or otherwise.

I'd like to think that I'd be on the streets, fighting off Johnny Foreigner- but in all likelihood, I'd be hiding under my bed, crying my eyes out and praying for military assistance to arrive as quickly as possible.

Ha, please don't add me to the death list. I was looking at it from the angle of being a Dr possibly working in a hospital and having someone brought in, not so much stopping to help amidst carnage in the streets. Don't get me wrong, if I was being attacked by someone and they got shot down I'd probably give them a Halo-style teabagging and leg it.

Not a chance.  Give the blighters what-for, make them think twice before daring to set foot on our God-given soil again.  My side, your side.

Send them all home minus both their eyeballs, save one fella with just one to lead them the way.

Hmmm. If a bloodied soldier crawled up to my front door, I doubt I'd wonder where he was from before I got him a glass of water and a nice sit-down.

But who can say how they'd react in pressured circumstances?

The only medical aid I'd give is a 'Ghetto-ectomy' that I once heard about on a Louis Theroux documentary.

"But who can say how they'd react in pressured circumstances?"

exactly !.. except, and this is where its my turn to be self righteous patronising & sanctimonious, but in my experience people do act in wierd ways when the shock & adrenalin hits, it depends on a trillion things how they'll react, the mind goes sort of fuzzy & numb so people who arent trained or directed to act in a certain way will bumble until directed " stem that artery will you love ? " , " shoot that volg in the face ? cheers mate "...

but then having had to tend, rescue & reassure people i can't fecking stand & would love to punch, in the context of my job in the community is of course different to in a war.. i imagine i'd rescue life in a triage system, dirty volgs are on the list, but ikkle babies & puppy dogs come first.

 If you took it upon yourself to do humanitarian and first aid in a war zone regardless of which side you were looking after then thats fair enough since you would be a non combatant and therefore neutral.
Title: Re: New Poll: The UK has been inva...

Civilians are neutral- they still get shot and not always accidentally either... by both sides.

Ah, but it's also used to refer to the act of killing an enemy in an online game, standing over the head of their corpse and repeatedly pressing the crouch button, thus beating them AND humiliating them. I'm obviously above that sort of behaviour (and have never won a game). Also known as "Teafragging".

You offer medical aid to wounded enemy combatants and simultaneously take them captive. If you can afford to take captives you can afford to offer them medical aid. Obviously you don't fix up enemy wounded so they can go back to their unit to fight again. That would be crazy.

Never mind custard- you're a moron for not even mentioning instant mash and an even bigger moron if you hypothetically refuse to eat it.  The fact that neither of us has even referred to instant mash before this post is neither here nor there.

One of us is being a bit silly here, don't you think?

What about this new so called 'improved' Smash, JEB - the powder rather than the lumps - what the hell are they playing at?
Title: Re: New Poll: The UK has been inva...
Post by: Matt Timson on 03 March, 2008, 02:56:52 PM
To be honest, Smash isn't for me.  Much too lumpy and I'll have no part of it.  My poison used to be Yeomen instant mash- which is powdery.  Yeomen disappeared from the shelves a few years back, to be replaced by Sainsbury's instant mash (I suspect Sainsbury's bought Yeomen out, as it's identical).

If Smash have now brought out a powdered version- then they must've nicked the idea from Yeomen/Sainsbury's- the swine.

Hulk use generic term 'smash' so as to not confuse others.  Plus, "Hulk Yeomen" isn't quite so catchy.
