Please find the post where I called soldiers scum. I can't find it. (And i can honestly say the only thing i've changed on this topic were a couple of spelling errors and the title of this thread to correct the time.)

No sweetie.....you called us all scum!!!!
That is your opinion of me.......I gave you my opinion of you.
Do I know you ???? Nope !!!!
Do you know me ???? Nope.
You called me scum, I'm calling you an ingrate.
Fair enough ??????

He is confusing you with IRescue. Who did call soldiers scum, then edited it.


IRescue-
You remind me of a little kid throwing a stone, then running and hiding when the other kids start throwing them back. If you had the courage to post such an opinion, why did you edit it, then continue to defend it? I don't understand.

BTW, who's opinion is it that soldiers are defending me? So far as I'm concerned I had many of my rights as a U.S. citizen and a human being denied recently

Can you list the rights that you have been denied lately? Or even one?

Ahem?

I don't want to dig through my memory for i don't want to raise anger or get too off topic in this thread...

First thing that came to my mind is not being allowed to take things on airplanes, into court houses (for crying out loud get lockers!), etc. I don't care if it is for security or not.

The case IR is referring to (I think) is Pagans being denied the right to have ANY of their symbols on military headstones. "Wicca" is an official recognized religion in the U.S. Last year a judge denied a soldier's family the right to have a pentacle (the upright star) placed on his headstone even though the military will technically allow any official religious symbol to be placed on one. OMG that case made me so angry!!! This is supposed to be the land of religious freedom!!! If he was good enough to serve our military and give his life for this country, i think the least this country can do for him is grant him his request in death. This may not affect me personally, but being denied a harmless request like that sends up red flags. I feel indirectly like my rights are being infringed on by this one.

People being hauled away for saying negative things about our president. (Not widely publicized, but earlier on you could find articles here and there of random incidences. Not just celebs getting shunned. I think they finally realized they were pushing it and have lightened up. I haven't read about any recent cases of this happening.) (and I'm not talking about getting hauled away for things like jokes about killing the guy... I'm taking about simple stuff like calling him "King George")

Yeah... that's all i got right now... Like i said though... I don't want to get too angry or off subject.

Crow, I hadn't heard about the man being denied a pentacle on his headstone - how terribly sad! How infuriating that "mainstream" religions get preferential treatment....

[Lady's Human]

I remember several cases of people being arrested for making threats against the president, (Not just the current president, but the two previous residents of 1600 PA Ave as well) but for making negative comments? Links please, and something substantial.

Rights infringed? The military was enforcing long standing policy, (The military has a reg for everything, up to and including marital relations with your spouse) the case went to court, the court ruled in favor of having other religious symbols in military cemeteries,case closed. It's the Constitutional process, it worked as it is supposed to. Everyone gets their day in court if needed.

[crow_noir]

I'd love to, i really would. I have a tendency myself not to believe "it" if i can't see it for myself from a credible source. However these cases mostly happened over two or three years ago. Most of the news links would be on my other computer(decommissioned)... anyway old news links rarely work. I read thousands of news articles a year and can't bookmark every single one of them let alone copy them all down to MSWord... which i only recently started doing when i realized my links were no longer working. I can't spend all my time reading the news and copying down articles... I wouldn't have time to do anything else such as writing to my representatives or helping out with the local rescues. ...and with as many things that i save, it takes FOREVER to find anything. *chuckling at self for all the clutter despite efforts at organization*

Folks...........
I have offered my sincerest apologies to Crow by PM, to make amends for mistakenly mentioning her name in my posts where I should have been referring to ID Rescue.
(I gotta change my medication.)
SORRY CROW !!!!!!!!

I edited because people were twisting the sentence. We all know from previous flame throwing posts (and there are so many on PT), that pters can't comprehend English so well. They hear what they want to, and if they don't hear it, they twist around words until they do.

[Lady's Human]

There was no misunderstanding, Irescue, it was there in text, and you edited the post shortly after there were major objections to it.

Next time I'll remember to quote the original post so there's no confusion caused by editing after the fact.

[AbbyMom]

Exactly.

I did read her original post, and it was clear as day, in black and white. There was no misunderstanding from anyone.

My maternal grandfather was a Marine for over 20 years. He served in Vietnam. He doesn't like to speak of the war (although I do recall a story of having been sprayed with Agent Orange?).

My dad was in the Army for nearly 10 years.

They are very, VERY good men. They have never, and would never, hurt a fly.

Not trying to stir up any issues. Just adding some loved ones to the list of PT family who has served.

So you are condescending first, talk down to ALL military personnel and call them scum, then call PTers basically stupid and can't comprehend English and say your words were twisted around and misinterpreted? You can't misinterpret "soldiers are scum" and "I don't like any of those people". Nothing there to misinterpret.
