You've been to St Petersburg.....then Leningrad. Well done. You'll appreciate then that in comparison to the damage and death in Hull though appalling ( my point about all war which appears to have gone over your head) was occasional in comparison to this and hundreds of other cities through out the world during the second world war.....Dresden, Toyko, London, Gdansk, etc etc etc.
Don't allow posts be belittling the suffering of the French go by then get all outraged about comparisons to Hull´s suffering.
This de humanizing of others leads to the appalling wars that we humans so seem to enjoy.
The current horrific treatment of the Syrians fleeing there current tragedy is down to this psychology. We sit by watching them and their children drown yet get outraged at the word occasional.
I suggest you read my posts twice or more then have a little think before replying in future.

Thank you. I would suggest you go to St Petersburg not only because it's a beautiful city but you get more of an education of what went on rather than watching the history channel.
No doubt as a student of history you will know that it was St Petersburg - Petrograd - Lenningrad. I sometimes find that the history channel isn't as informative as it could be.
You are trying to impress me with your deep knowledge of history and the current atrocities that go on in the world. Well done. I do know and am appalled by it just like you.. It also seems that you are trying to deflect the insult you made to this Country in your earlier post.
Back to my point. You used the word "Luckily" whether in context or not it was a poor choice of word which if you had anything about you should retract and apologise.
Now back to Rugby.
