Good god, I hate to even justify most of you with yet another reply to this thread, but what is up with all of the personal judgments? Moonflower may be young but at least she had the courage to have and keep that baby and it looks as though she's doing a pretty damn good job so far, so back off! You guys are SERIOUSLY edging on personal attacks, which are against forum guidelines and grounds for banishment. Chill out!
Personal attacks? Oh... you mean Chuck's specialty, trolling around these forums attacking "stupid hippies?" Other people here disgusted by Chuck's comments may not know him, but I do. Or at least I thought I did at one time. I've come to realize that he's an incredibly weak human being. No, he's not evil, and he doesn't deserve to be shot--he's a victim. He's so easily molded that it's scary. I've never know anyone who has made as many 180 degree flip-flops as Chuck, and in such a short span of time. He has a radically different perspective on virtually everything every six months. I'm sad to say that I lost respect for him a long time ago. He doesn't deserve hatred; he deserves pity. I genuinely feel sorry for you, Chuck. I hope you can turn your life around at some point.
Pity, shmitty... everyone is lost, don't act like you have it all figured out, cowboy. Chuck is just trying to find his way. I may be 1,000,000% against his decision... and it's not like I'm gonna go and support him, but I'm not going to call him names at the same time. What he is doing is completely against my beliefs... but at the same time I dislike what most of the world is doing... but you know what, I've learned to tolerate it.
Well, forgive me for not being a regular over here, god knows why I keep coming back to read this drivel (or keep insulting it at that, seeing as I just add to it, lol), I'm just pretty fucking happy that someone's willing to join the military so I can still sit my happy ass home on the computer. That was my whole point to begin with. The personal attack I was talking about was not any against "Chuck" (I hate referring to anyone I don't talk to on here by their names, but hell, everyone else is), but that incredibly immature response to moon about her baby. Ah fuck it, you guys continue this, I know when it's my time to graciously bow out and shut up. If you want me, you know where to find me. *runs back to the safety of her fellow douchebags at RT*
I haven't found any post of Crazybutlazy worth of replying to, so I'd advice you to just ignore him if he's just out to offend someone. I think the end of Moonflowers reply to Verseau miracle was pretty lame as well, by the way. And that's a shame because I thought she made a good point.
Self-righteous moral hypocrisy? Lets see, you're European. How is America taking Iraqi oil over the blood of their people any different than Europe drinking Russian oil piped over the corpses of dead Chechens? But I hope your house is nice and warm.
Someone's gotta do it? So why aren't you over there? These wars would be virtually non-existent if it wasn't for that kind of mentality.
I refuse to have pity for people who willingly fight in elitists' wars, then come back with their legs blown off only to be forgotten about by the country they thought they were fighting to serve.
I feel you on that one. I like Chuck, but I won't pity him if he comes back in a body bag. He's a man and he has made his decision. He will face the consequences. I honestly cannot understand how anyone would willingly enter the army these days. There are other ways to pay for school, ways in which you are less likely to kill or get killed. But... c'est la vie.
awww and it was me that signed up for the army willingly, all in the name of love......well we all know how that turned out .......happily married and with a beautiful daughter thanks chuck!
Growing into a man is tough. Their are a lot of moral grey areas when you want to do what is right. It takes a long time to find your way. Good luck buddy. Don't ever, ever, ever compromise your morals. Stay safe.
i forgot to ask what unit you are with?our guys are coming home in December and I cant remember who's replacing them. So I was just curious if it was going to be you or not, that'd be pretty ironic....or weird.
