Berkeley - it has started - we need to support their decision about banning marines

I don't have much respect for people who throw their lives away like that... volunteer, go to college, read a book... but join the MILITARY? How does that seem like a good idea?

 

I think it is wrong to ban the people who protect our countries freedoms from doing anything. It is like banning the president from something just because you don't respect his opinion. We should support our troops they already give so much up for us. Just a few examples of what they give up for our freedom: their lives, limbs, and time with the family. I think this is just deplorable.

Because some people can't even afford a book, nevermind go to college or move out of their town. Did you think the military was made up of middle class white boys? Its kids living in the projects and broken down neighborhoods. Obviously not everyone, but I would put my money on about 80% of them having the military as their only option to pay for college. The rest are gung ho cowboys who want to shoot some foreigners.

 

They still have a right to an education, whether someone thinks they don't deserve one or not. They're still Americans, who are we to deny someone the freedom of education? To the op, how would you like it if a college denied you admittance based on what you do with your life? It's discrimination, I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate if it were directed at you.

 

I have to agree. If they are not going to allow recruiters then they don't need federal funding. I am sorry but you don't get your cake and eat it to. If you want my money then you need to agree to my terms.

 

Just be glad someone is over there protecting your ass from terrorists who would otherwise be wiping it all over the roadside. They're out there sacrificing their lives for people who won't even respect them for it.

I guess history just keeps on repeating doesn't it?

For that matter people want to just ditch them there and leave them for dead. Great plan. Who's more bloodthirsty now? The typical Liberal has come to remind me of Hitler. The problem with this plan though, is that after you damn idiots get done partying, as said, the terrorists will be over here doing their business. Trust me, it won't be lovely.

 

It seems like a good idea because if ppl didn't join the military, you would be speaking chinese now and you would not be able to talk about your government like you do now. You would be in prison.

Wise up ppl.

 

Latin rather. Or maybe I'm going back to far.. =o

 

And if no one belived in any religions way back when we wouldnt have any holy wars today...

maybe its time to stop looking at the past and find a way to create a peaceful future? I like evolution.

Wise up.

 

You guys really support this university banning marines? How would you feel if the college you tried to attend banned you because you were a vegetarian or something like that. You obviously havent taken into acount the people who join the armed forces because it is their only way to get into college. Especially one like Berkeley. Half these people join bvecause it's their only choice , and don't even agree with the war that they have to fight.

If we didn't fight the wars that we did , we would still be under british rule or we would be speaking some middle or far eastern language. We would be communist. Or our women would hae to wear those burkas. Yes war is bad , but it's also inevatable. So please yell me , what would you do with no military? What the fuck are you gonna do when people try to come over here in the same manner that teh pilgrims did and take over ?

Every person in the military didn't sign up for murder. That's the exact type if pretentious , inflated rhetoric that polarizes tis country. Now , we are in Iraq for no reason right now. But that doesn't mean that every service-man in teh history of teh armed forces is bad because Bush is a dumbass. Did you ever think that these people hve familie to support and can't just go to college ? Did you ever think about the majority that sign just to take advantage of the GI Bill so they can get a decent education. And i'm not just hypothesizing. I grew up in a very shitty neighborhood in a very shitty part of town. And I can't begin to tell you how many friends and associates didnt want to "fight the white man's war" but only had the military to get out of the slums and get into a decent college and a decent paying job.

Sounds rather hypocritical from people who claim to be all about love and peace and acceptance and understanding.

 

I don't understand why people refuse to look at the past, just to end up repeating the same stupid mistakes over and over again. If told that it failed last time they just say "Oh! It'll work better this time!" And yet it just fails again.

And you can't deny that if it wasn't for the true Christians we would have destroyed ourselves long ago. You can't use hate to promote peace. It's one of those common stupid contradictions constantly used. It has never worked in the past, and it never will in the future.

 

Marines aren't being banned. Marine recruiting is. Understand what you're talking about.
If you don't agree with the war, don't take part in it.

 

oh, please! That's the worst nonsense I ever read...

 

There will be no war in Iran only from one reason: Pentagon doesn't have power to attack... That's why recently secret agency most probably tried to kill Mahmud Ahmadineżad - president of Iran.
In fact in Iran he support some not liked politics like alcohol ban or he persecute gejs (homo) - but please - don't belive in the stories about atomic missiles....
This is a nonsense and cannot belive that someone belives in that.
What propaganda can do with people is amazing....

 

Oh really ? So are you suggesting that the Brits would have just left us be ? That we wouldn't have had to fight the revolutionary war ? You suggesting that we shouldn't have retaliated to pearl harbor?

The only nonsense is the people who don't mind enjoying the (relative) freedom of living in the US , but spit at the people who die for it. Yea our government is shitty and full of shitty people , but fr anyone who prefers to do things themselves and stop killing the point that out government sucks , there is plenty of opportunity. Like the one to leave the USA , which is what I plan to do when I finish school.

Since that's "the worst nonsense you've ever read" , do you mind providing an in depth description of where this country would be without a military ?

Surely you have a sensible response , don't you ?

 

Where where the protesters durring the Civil War? I could have had slaves if they were there. =(
But noooo. We fought that war and now my money is being sucked down that hole they call New Orleans. Maybe I should become a hippie too.




Geeze.. Protesters....

 

You better give the finger to that dead marine, [spits on marine] piece of shit!

 

Lemme throw that back out there. Conspiracy theorist are just as guilty of fear mongering as the government. It's propaganda from both sides.
