Jail or War?

[RICHARD]

Richard,
My comments to LH had nothing to do with soldiers and war, and supporting or not supporting it. I have great admiration for our soldiers. I do not have any respect for people that talk down to others, and then hide behind some title- be it soldier, doctor, lawyer, whatever. One can get their point across, as distasteful as some might find it, without insult.

As for lawyer jokes? Bring them on. I don't wear my occupation as a badge of anything other than that which brings in income, supports my family, and holds my interest most of the time.

Sorry I touched a nerve.

I ain't a dentist or a neurologist.

I'll toss out some one liners for lawyers.

Allred, Meserau, Geragos and Grace.


It's income, money and interest-that about clients????

Geez,

Let's elevate the E.B. soldiers up a little they stick around to clean the mess up.
Lets do a sports analogy....

Game on the line and the ref, ump or official blows a call....

They don't care as long as they get paid.

--------------------------


Having been shot at once, there is nothing more frightening on the planet.
If it had not been a hunting accident I can assure you that I would have had no second (or first) thought about taking every opportunity to return every shot.
I am going down fighting.

There is something inherently different about trading shots with someone across the way..

Our soldiers are dying because some CS MF SOB Bs are taking bombs and putting them beside a road where soldiers and innocent people are.

Please do not put logic into a statement about killing people...

The United States Government and the "evil b's" that LH referred to are the ones to blame...

So it is O.K. to drive a car with a ton of explosives into a market place where people are trying to live.


Yep, blame the guys in uniforms......

They play by the "rules"..... and when we turn the dogs of war loose we still are a bunch of war mongering, blood thirsty hawks...

The Conservatives laugh when the idea that our soldiers are fighting to keep
'terrorism" from our shores.

Wait until the next terror attack here in the US....You'll pray that those "evil bastards" are vigilant and ready to get that pound of flesh in return.

There are times you have to visit a punk in his neighborhood and let him know that he cannot go into your yard, take a crap on you front porch and stand across the street and laugh about it.

[Lady's Human]

Irescue, Cat, et al....

The only reason you are free to make those statements is the soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen who have defended this country from day one. On behalf of a bunch of evil, hate filled killing bastards, You're welcome.

[K9soul]

I really can't answer the poll, because it would depend too much on all the circumstances involved. If I ever did go to war, they'd most likely have to find something else for me to do other than putting a gun in my hand. I may not have the right of it, but I believe there are all kinds of different capacities to serve other than going out and shooting at people.

Anyway, on a side note, I personally feel it is presumptive of anyone to judge another person as evil and deserving of damnation. I feel that is only for God to do.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Sorry...I've been gone a few days....we are in Iraq to protect my freedom of speech. Wow....I didn't know my freedom of speech was at risk in Iraq. And I suppose Viet Nam was about my freedom of speech too. That or the ability to get really cheap manicures.

I don't blame the soldiers...I blame the chicken-livered politicans who send them there.

Our soldiers are dying because some politicans LIED to justify a war they had been planning before 9/11 (which did not involve Iraq.)

Iraq was not the punk who "took a crap" in your yard RICHARD. Don't you listen to your president? We are in Iraq because Saddam was a bad guy and we needed to free the Iraqi people from him. No WMD....no connection to Al Queda.

And we are going to teach the Iraqis about freedom of speech....right after we teach them about freedom of the press....right after we bribe them to run positive (but untrue!) stories in the newspaper.

I am put in mind of a slogan from my youth....What if they gave a war and nobody came?

So send the troops to clean up after Katrina and get power and water going there.

[Edwina's Secretary]

p.s. yes...I thought the "you can't understand it unless you are in it" comment to be very patronizing. But let's go with it. That is why men are NOT allowed an opinion on abortion. They don't get pregnant so they can't understand.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Sorry...I've been gone a few days....we are in Iraq to protect my freedom of speech. Wow....I didn't know my freedom of speech was at risk in Iraq. And I suppose Viet Nam was about my freedom of speech too. That or the ability to get really cheap manicures..

Sara, you know we're usually on the same side of things politically, and I still agree with you, but just as a clarification....

Terry really believed he was going to Vietnam to "fight the commies" (his words), who, if they won in Vietnam would be coming for the US next, so therefore, yes, in his mind, he was defending your freedom of speech. He was defending America and it's way of life and everything it stood for.

However, he will be the first one to agree that you have every right to your opinion and your right to voice that opinion. He does have a problem with people who burn the flag, but other than that, protest away!

Now, about men not having input on abortion because they don't understand it - I like the way you think!

[Lady's Human]

ES, No problem. If we are going to go down that road, however..........

Only people with military service allowed to vote on war resolutions

only people who ACTUALLY pay taxes allowed to vote on the budgets, right down to local level

[Edwina's Secretary]

I didn't know there was an opportunity to vote on war resolutions???? So Cheney cannot vote....Rumsfeld.....I don't count what Bush did as military service....Wolfowitz....I'm thinking I might like this idea!

As for paying taxes.....have you ever meet anyone who pays no taxes? If you buy something in a store you pay sales tax. If you buy gasoline you pay tax....so who are you disenfranchising with this poll tax idea?

[RICHARD]

I don't blame the soldiers...I blame the chicken-livered politicans who send them there.

TEE HEE!


Did I say Iraq crapped in my front yard?
I used to be easily amused, now I am easily confused..

What was that village sprayed with, you know, the place where the choppers flew over and poisoned everything??? Even in that small quanity, it's still nerve gas.....and I think nerve gas was a WMD....I probably am wrong.

Am thank you very much for showing your chauvanist side....Of course, we men can't argue about abortions, manicures....now wearing a dress, haircoloring and fashion......maybe.....


I have a comment about abortions, let me know, I'll PM it to you.


-------------------------------------------------------------

NEWSFLASH!!!!!

If i remember correctly MOST, if not all of the Politicos voted, WAR.

Now that the stupid American public has forgotten that, I'll give the Liberals a pass on that....they seem to have the same mind set as the constiuents..

Frigging brain dead.....

I hope the next terrorist attack involves some Good Old American Boys, that way we can invade ourselves.....Think of all the new improvements we can have...More roads for stupid cell phone using drivers. More guns for gangs.
What ever happened to our good ol militia boys???

LOL,

I can see some Americans taking the Suicide Bombing thing to the workplace!!
Why settle for the disgruntled shoot em up scenario!!


------------------------------------------------

Going back to Ludlow....Did we figure out what the real story was?

[Edwina's Secretary]

Missed you in my class RICHARD....you could have learned all about the Ludlow Massacre....

as for the rest of your wild ranting....I haven't a clue what you are trying to say......

[RICHARD]

Well I got an invitation and then no follow up!!
I promised you an apple.

Wild Ranting......I may borrow that for the name of my first book-would you write the intro for me? Please?

It's just a sampling of the really stupid thoughts that go thru my mind-

(gosh, now wouldn't that be a kick? Inside my brain-seeing just really how dumb I am!!!)

Actually, If you tilt your head and close one eye everything I write makes perfect sense.....


I think....
