Translation: "I'm nice and safe in school, why risk my life fighting 'The War on Terror'?"
"It'a a volunteer army, which is great. That way, I can do a lot of talking, and leave the volunteering to others, many of whom dropped out of college to join the war because they bellieved in it."
"Many of whom dropped out of college to join the war..."
Where is this magic phenomenon occurring, Plaw? Hasn't the standard Charlie Rangel-leftist argument that the army is made up of uneducated, poor minorities?
If that is true, then where are all of these college students dropping out and joining the service?
:rolleyes:
If you believe in the war, yes you should.
Who said I believe in the war? You can quote me in multiple threads expressing my desire to leave Iraq immediately.
I think this country has enough history teachers.
And the world has enough wankers, but...
And does that mean if you weren't in school with your grants and stipends, you would enlist?
It is a distinct possibility, considering my family has a history of serving, and that the Armed Forces offer phenomenal packages for schooling and such.
But since I wasn't afraid to demonstrate against it, even in the face of being part of a peaceful demonstration and attacked on a picket line by bunch of hard-hatted construction worker-thugs swinging iron pipes and having only my bare hands to fight back with (and getting a good ass-kicking in the process), and another time being waded into by billy-club wielding police and winding up with a broken arm for my efforts, I don't think I would have been afraid of fighting in a war if it was a fight for something I felt was right.
Clearly not enough of that beating sunk in.
Because, quite frankly, we all know what your generation did to "support the troops" in Vietnam - they would return home, and be spat upon and ostracized for doing their duty.
So much for "supporting the troops."
Give your kudos to DMC, not me.
No, they were intentionally directed at you - after all, we're no longer on-topic.

Let's see, you don't have a uterus but if you had one you might had a better understanding of how it is to be affected with such a pain and agony to bring a child to this world that you'll always be struggling between hating and loving him/her. I believe that is more wrong than letting a piece of blood go. Believe it or not, it is nothing more than that to me, unless I was willing to be a mother, something I never want in case of a rape.
That "piece of blood" is your own flesh and blood. But hey, I suppose, in the name of...umm..."pain and agony," you'd rather kill out of convenience.
So a child is a child right? How about those children in the villages where terrorists are hiding? Why bomb those areas? Does it matter who their fathers or mothers are? Aren't they perfectly innocent? Why should you kill them because of fault of their parents? So why no protest about killing them, when actually someone else is killing their babies, rather than themselves, which in my opinion in far worse?
Please. Collateral damage is in no way comparable with abortion, because children are not intentionally targeted. Both are tragedies, of course.
Why right-wingers who don't like to pay their share to the Social Security, want to add more mouths to be fed by that so called unnecessary organization?
Oh, that is a good one. That ranks right up there with Howard Dean's comments from a few months ago.
Where are these mythical right-wingers who aren't paying their share to Social Security?
If anything, the vast majority of Americans are paying
more than their fair share.
But, to take a more liberal view - why shouldn't we be disagreeing with a system that doesn't work, in the same way they protest a war they don't agree with?
Furthermore, your statement, in essence, is implying that death is ultimately better than the vast and unlimited opportunities that are brought by life, and, specifically, adoption.
Why on Earth are you so selfish?
Clearly, based upon your opinions of murdering your own children, we could ask you the same thing.
because she is not quite sure if she loves or hates her kid and you know biological irresponsible moms come first most of the time.
So do selfish, uncaring abortionists.
Faithfully,
Double-J
