[Cinder & Smoke]

I get called scum in a post and I'm supposed to remain calm?

GOSH!

I thought you WERE pretty calm!!

[caseysmom]

Gosh that is just so wrong and disrespectful. I am against the war but I still thank god for all the brave men and women who are in the military. Do you seriously think we would be safe without them?

There are thousands and thousands of people currently serving in the military. Each and every one has made that personal decision to serve our country for his or her own reason. I am sorry you have had bad experiences with "soldires," but stop and think before condemning an entire group of human beings. As others have said, any large group of people - whether you choose to group them by state, city, profession, hair color - each will have good and bad people within it.

What is true of any group is that the "bad people" are the ones who make the news. Let's take teachers, for example. Do you see news stories about the teachers who go to work, day after day, year after year, and work hard to teach first grade, teaching each new group of students the fundamentals that wills erve them the rest of their lives, whether it be reading, learning basic math and colors, or how to get along with others? No, of course not. But let one teacher harm a student, and it makes national news. Same for any demographic. The law-abiding, hard-working people never get press time. Same for soldiers. Same for clergy. Same for police officers - you name it.
