The invictus games.
 

Hopefully they don't last long.

had to google them, it says they're postponed till 2022? :suspect:

Yes, hopefully it's the last one we have.

Oh I thought you'd be behind injured service men and women having a sporting event for themselves or is this something to do with not liking Harry?

No, I just dont want to see injured sevice men or women anymore..

For these games to happen we need both, so me personally., well, I would prefer no more wars.

Ok, unusual way to say No More War but I can agree with that message :thumbs:

In a way, promoting these games is promoting war.

Dont you think?

The Invictus Games is a good event for people that have been injured. THe stories behind the competitors are always emotional.

No, I don't think that. Do you think wearing a Poppy promotes war?

Well I think it is a great thing....one thing Harry has done that I commend him on. I dont know whether people will have a lot of interest watching the build up on Netflix and watching them in training...:shrug:

That's like saying a ward in a hospital that caters to cancer patients is "promoting" it. :facepalm: What a bizarre mental flip just to justify the fact you don't like something associated with Prince Harry. :joker:

Knowing a number of injured veterans, these games are a huge thing to them. They were injured serving their country and so to give them sone recognition to what they can still achieve is a big thing.

it's pretty petty to criticize something as beneficial as the invictus games just because they are associated with harry

No its normal

For me it's like the Paralympics, just not something I'd watch or be in the slightest bit interested in. Or like the pride of Britain awards.

I watched the last Invictus games. The competitors had all been injured serving their country and these games give them so much, some of them overcome unimaginable injuries. But if you don't want to watch them, it's not compulsory.

You dont need future war to wear a poppy, you wear the poppy to remember.

But for the invictus games to continue, then there must be wars going on to injure the future competitors or we will just end up with very very old people taking part each year, until there are either none left or only 2 participating nations.

But that's not what I'm doing....

My dislike for him did bring me to think about the games today, that is true.

But dont you find it interesting that we will need wars in the future to keep these games alive:shrug:

But it's not a good thing if they have to keep happening year after year after year after year.:nono:

No because the games exist FOR them.

They don't start wars to provide for Invictus.

Honestly. Think. :facepalm:

You havnt told me anything I dont know in this post..:shrug:

What I'm saying is, as much as these games are a benefit to the participants, it does rely on conflict for it to be able to continue.

So I dont really see why it should be promoted tbh.

Do you think countries are deciding to go to War just so the Invictus Games can continue? That doesn't seem likely :laugh:

its an interesting concept :laugh:

:nono:

Bit Hunger Game-ish :laugh:

Laugh if you want..

But I know I'm morally right on this.

Well, I have. You just haven't clocked on.

Wars will continue as long as there are humans in the world. Stopping invictus will not stop wars. All stopping it will do is stop those who serve being celebrated for achievements they make in the face of adversity

For these games to "be", so to say. Well that requires an act of violence to happen, we can all agree on that?

So any future events, 10years down the line, let's say!

Well they would also need acts of violence to happen, but the difference is, they would be FUTURE acts of violence.

So promoting the continuation of these games, is asking for further acts of violence to happen.

That's the way I've learnt to see it today, so I really dont think it should be permitted to be promoted for future events.

Fair enough every year its needed then the games should be highlighted and enjoyed, but the foundation as a trust, should not be allowed to promote itself.

No it isn't. That's like saying charity shops are asking for poverty to continue.

If they could guarantee no more, it wouldn't be needed. It only exists because "further acts of violence" are inevitable.

What further acts of violence involving the participating nations are you expecting to happen?

You cant just say its inevitable
.inevitable when? 2 years, 3 years..10yrs 20yrs...do the games just come and go when we have a fresh batch of injured soldiers ?

:facepalm:

Sure.

They will have to incorporate the emergency services into it in about 6 years if we keep refraining from putting our troops in harms way

Defeatest..

Like your inevitable comment.:smug:

We have soldiers all over the world....peace keeping. Injuries to these men and women can happen any time, sometimes when they are helping to stop conflicts escalating. If world peace were to be achieved there would be no need for invictus, until that happens the men and women who basically hand their lives to the government of the day to keep us and other nations safe should be able to be celebrated. It promotes nothing other than celebrating their sporting achievements often in the face of awful injuries. I don't think any soldier joins up in the hope they gets injured enough to participate in the games.
