In the philosophycal field i'm a pacifist, and totally against war...but war is something that may not depend of our will, war can be imposed by others from the outside....suppose you live in a small country and your neighbour's big and well armed military forces decide invading the land you was born....should a pacifist accept a new language, a new culture, a new flag, or should he pick up a gun and leave to the front line ??? I believe in pacifism, i want a peaceful world, but i think there are some fights that we must face even with a gun in the hand...... A good example of pacifists fighting were the "maquis", the french resistance in WWII....
What should a pacifist do when facing a terrorist action ?? Look to the other side while whistling "be bop a lula"......??? I don't think so, there are a few things one must fight against with all his strength (and terrorism with all its innocent victims is surelly one of them.....so I'm a pacifist in war with terrorism, and I'm a pacifist capable of hating a person that have killed children after making a bomb to explode...)
You didn't put the soldiers anywhere. They volunteered. And that is why Iraq's first democratic government now exists, eh? sorry thread starter, don't mind me I love you.
That is all you can say? Many people like you (supposedly anti-war) choose to ignore any good that occurs in Iraq. Iraq's first democratic government is now in power, thanks to the United States military. Don't speak about what you don't know. And don't take credit for the volunteering of soldiers. You didn't have shit to do with their enlistment, and you don't have shit to do with the ones that are sent to Iraq. Get your head out of your ass.
PoliticsAreAwesome and JustWow....if I met you on the street, I'd give you a bottle of wine! You guys are alright.
I stated no propaganda. I am no neo-con, and I don't dig Bush; I just realise that this war is mostly a good thing. One person doesn't really equal a full-out invasion. Yesterday was my two year anniversary at this site. I've tried to leave, but I haven't been that lucky yet!
I guess people will believe anything they hear. Why not cammie up and go support it? You are 18, go get some!
I'm not a hippie, and I don't claim to be one, i'm a motherfuckin pranksta kid, FAMILY wreckin' crew!!! Your right, I'm NOT tolerant to your warped, sick ideology!! I will get loud, I will "do what is necessary" because I think people like you are diahrrhea in the gene pool, your indoctrinated, narrow minded, and cannot support ANY of your claims with facts, all you have is corporate government run media conjecture...............we have centuries of facts and philosophies, and the support of the worlds highest intelligensia...you have bible thumping, hate mongers like Ann Coulter, Jerry Falwell, Bill O'Reilly, all spouting the same old tired bullshit that you SHEEP eat up like a basehead at a cutup party. You know nothing, your an ignorant, propaganda spoon fed little chump that has yet to experience anything. You sit thier behind your computer screen, hiding behind your flawed ideology and your manipulative rhetoric convincing yourself that what your doing is whats best for this country, and the world for that matter, but you are nothing my friend, nothing but part of the problem. People like you dismiss all views that compromise profit as "extremist", "leftist", and even go so far as to label many of us terrorists....oh, but that makes you a motherfucking PATRIOT don't it? Let me spit some knowledge to you: DISSENT IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF PATRIOTISM, and if you don't believe that, your just another insignificant pawn........stop posting and go join the military so you can do what's "right".
I already enlisted, I ship out late July. "believe anything they hear" For the majourity of the last two years I was very against this war. Then while working on a school project on Iran I came to the realisation that leaders like Ahmadinejad and Saddam Hussein need to be taken out of power for the common good of man. Why don't you do some research that involves only facts and not opinions? It's not good to believe anything you hear, regardless of the point of view.
can you support your claims with facts? typical democrat/ bandwagon liberal. "Centuries of facts" eh? Leaders like Saddam have been proven to be loving, nurturing leaders, huh? *holds up mirror* and just what the heck are you doing? what the fuck are you talking about when you say "compromise profit?" isn't this thread about war/anti-war? ha.... I have joined the military. I jumped off your liberal bandwagon some time ago.
I don't know why people insist on making an issue when it doesn't need to be made. If people are pro war, let them fight it. It sux, innocent people die, agreed. But there are war mongers out there, so let them kill themselves off. If you're against war, then don't join the army. easy.
