>>LOL. when it comes to talking about money, you expect politeness?

Would you say war (your life) is more serious than money? I would.

Here is the text of Winston Churchill's declaration of war on Japan, and his comments as to its ceremonial style:


Sir,

On the evening of December 7th His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom learned that Japanese forces without previous warning ... had attempted a landing on the coast of Malaya and bombed Singapore and Hong Kong.

In view of these wanton acts of unprovoked aggression committed in flagrant violation of International Law and particularly of Article I of the Third Hague Convention relative to the opening of hostilities, to which both Japan and the United Kingdom are parties, His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokyo has been instructed to inform the Imperial Japanese Government in the name of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom that a state of war exists between our two countries.

I have the honor to be, with high consideration, Sir, Your obedient servant, Winston S. Churchill.


Churchill's comment re above:

"Some people did not like this ceremonial style. But after all, when you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
