I have many problems with probably 95% of people alive, since they are complete morons. But I still love most of them
Could also explain why all soldiers act the same. Just kidding, but you really sound like you've been too long in the army for your own good. Just curious because of a previous post of you, how do you think about christians? Are they any better then muslims?
There's a private sports forum in the personal forum section. I myself would like a sports section on this forum, but that's what sports forums are for, I guess.
mister owls you have so many missing facts, you have so many misinterpretations, I have no idea where to start you say the president plays a minor role guess what dude, since the gulf of tonkin accord, and the pretty much identical act passed inregard to 9/11 and afghanistan, executive power in the way of war is near absolute, the congress can't pull the troops out with this supreme court <executive branch power supporters that they are> and, even if they cut off funding, that would just send us into deficit spending, and weaken the dollar it wouldn't actually force the troops home, thanks to the fiat dollar if you knew shit about what you were talking about, instead of just spouting blind, ignorant, people on the street, media fed propoganda, MAYBE you would know what was going on instead, you spread views that aren't right, that are in fact bereft of accuracy. so, dude, though you are TRYING to put forth a calm peaceful argument, please, at least hunt down fact before you do it, the majority of people do not support this military action, the president, or the congress, things, they are a changin'
well, lots of people here like to smoke pot and play hackey sack and/or frolf :tongue: theres a bunch of us who are well in tune with sports though. i mainly know the ones over in random thoughts forum, since thats where the majority of my postings are good times over there
some of us realise that nothing will change if people don't want stupid things to happen then they have to stop voting stupidly. elections are won by the lowest common denominator, if you dumb down the populace all sorts of stupid things happen since they are too darned stupid to think for themselves, its kind of like a man who starts digging a hole whilst standing in a hole and finally looking around and upwards asks himself "how did i get here"? though there will be some men who would even deny they are standing in a very deep and dark hole and if they dig deep enough they'll be sure to strike air soon enough (because its just a transitional period). problem is israel has got itself in a hole, the far right wing is out breeding the secular populace. when the fundamentalists get into power they send the secular jews to die for greater israel and the religious jews to yeshiva (sure some of them will die in army service but these are necessary casualties and there are always more coming thanks to the birth rate) when money from the religious nuts reaches washington before you know it you have a full scale invasion of territory regarded by the religious nuts as greater israel. still no takers for greater israel??
right... and this is coming from the man sat on a self propelled gun talking about how great it is that he's going to iraq to fight in a war that isn't actually legally declared to be a war (started by a man who probably shouldn't be in power) which was started because of something that never existed (wmds) what was that thing about genius again? it doesn't require genius when reality is staring at you from every angle. have fun in iraq
There is a Sox versus Rox thread in my forum. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=267418
I have to welcome ForOwls here... you've certainly contributed to a spirited debate and while I couldn't disagree more with much of what you've posted I like that you've refrained for the most part from attacking those of us opposed to your stance. I'm not particularly well informed-- at least not enough to be an equal in debate. I'm not sure what useful agenda is served by posting things that can only cause hesitation and doubt in the mind of someone who has already made up his mind that he will be deployed to a combat zone. His life as well as those around him may well depend on his unwavering belief and faith in something that I may not personally share. The only appropriate response I can make in this thread is to wish him well... and to save my arguments for the policymakers who I believe to be in error. I need to read up before I start attacking something I don't fully understand. My instinct says that the truth isn't fully in either camp but somewhere in the middle.
HA! Justification of killing based on restrictions of a word in a language, pathetic. Anyone can justify anything in this world, just look at all those political leaders. If you are a soldier , intent on killing and doing your job , go ahead , justify all you want. It doesn't take you away from the truth though, it will haunt you. Truth is there, and God who is the caretaker will punish you, no one will save you, not even your precious jesus.
first of all, i am a guy. Second of all, I said: If you are a soldier, and are going to justify. Notice the IF & AND! I don't care what you are doing, I said what needs to be said, and this is a public forum. There is no justification for murder of any sort.
you didn't fight for that right, unless you fought back in the revolutionary war. i'm sorry, but that line is BS nowadays. our way of life has not been in any way diminished by those terrorists. i don't buy it. we have that right because we choose to continue to use it. not because our forces are over occupying another nation.
