Its not well known here either, but it was an important day in the history of this country. Australia was attacked by the Japanese many times.

Tora Tora Tora was on TV on the weekend actually, good movie.

It's on the frontpage of Wikipedia. Otherwise, no idea it was today.
Why snark works.

Guys, theres no reason for everyone to know every tragedy. Theres also no reason why you cannot post your own.

You claim to not know, so be it. I find it difficult to comprehend since its magnitude was impacted worldwide, but thats OK. It was a long time ago.

I can believe however that its a very low priority for other countries to remember.

I for instance cannot recall the actual dates when the British lost so tragically, right here in the States. (humor tag)

Seriously, if you have dates to remember, or feel the need to have others remember them with you, post away.

I know most details about Perl Harbor but not the date it happened. There's so many important military and political dates... 9/11, that's one I wont forget... except for that...

Are you going to post this every year?

How about August 6th and 9th? What about June 6th? November 9th and 22nd? July 20th?

So on and so forth, those were all immensely influential days for almost the entire globe. Not all of them are tragedies or atrocities either.

How about December 19th? That was a monumental day too. You know, it was the day yet another asshole joined Snarkpit. :rolleyes:

To answer your question. Yes, I will be posting any days I feel need remembered.

If you want to post all those other days, when they arrive, do so but for now, give it a f**king break.

And you guys actually wonder why this site is in decline.

F*ck you.

I figure I should clarify before you throw a temper tantrum.

Every year you post this thread for Pearl Harbor, I asked "why?" when there are other days that are at least as important/influential or even more so. Not a "don't ever post this again" statement, if you notice.

From that you called me an asshole. Thus my response.

You know that I wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world Adam.

I thought that I had made myself very clear earlier today about people posting any date they felt they needed to. I'm sorry that you misunderstood that.

BTW, you were being a prick. You deserved it. :wink:

I'd have made arrangements for another Oregon deliver, if you'd just show a bit of interest.
