So that we can disagree on every single opinion,& humiliate our own people just because they have a different political background or a different political vision???The point is,whether we like it or not,Politics have always been a part of us & will continue to be so.The political differences has soo much of an affect on us,that we are willing to Humiliate other people just for their different opinions!However most of us forget that by doing so,not only we humiliate the person we want to but also ourselves as individuals!You will never find all the people agreeing on one single issue,there will always be differences..but that is what makes us think of the resolution to that particular issue in a much broader way!This should be the the dawn of a new era…not the era for some people to boast on about how they were supporting the Armed forces online.That is not how it should be done…It is our responsibility to take care of those families of the war heroes…Stop shouting & boasting & start doing something better for them…this day is not for people to boast..this day is for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for you & for me…Don’t just be restricted to words,but prove it by action. Acceptance is the start of a healing process.This country does not belong to a few,but to all of us!For some this might be a pile of rubbish,but I know that Elakiri consist of a large Intelligent Community who prefer to read & remain  quiet.This is for them…Afterall, Actions speak louder than words.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /></blockquote>
