School closure

I only ask what you're doing since you're SO concerned about what others are doing. You know, glass houses and all.

I am writing my cousins regularly and sending packages. I am also organising some of the peace groups I've marched with to get together and make care packages. But then, I don't go out and accuse others of doing nothing.

I'm not in the mood to argue tonight, I don't feel well and I'm tired, so I'll leave this for another day....I'm not in a competition.

Way to back out of a corner...

Heres what I dont get about these Anti-war protests. More people have died in the protests than in the war. Its just alittle late to pull out troops.

"More people have died in the protests than in the war. Its just alittle late to pull out troops."

Can you please tell me where you got that information from?

actually its not too far off. If you consider the number of protesters killed by police in yemen (i think it was) Egypt...and other countries...
(compared to coalition deaths)

The news is always saying how many people died in the war then only to flip it on and find out just how many people where injured because the anti war protesters where throwing chairs and abuseing there rights. Plus if we pull out our troops now what happens?? We just fall below Saddam, not as an equl but below, it encourges him, this should of been handled along time ago.

What about the Iraqi deaths??

**Soledad** · 04-02-2003, 09:16 PM

Um, can you give an actual site. I don't even think anyone has a count on the Iraqi civilian count. It's not good to listen to everything the news says.

**iceyshiver21** · 04-02-2003, 09:20 PM

who says I fully belive the news?? Think of the Americans too. Iraqis have been brought up by a cruel man who kills his own kind...this needs to be stopped. We cannot count Iraqis because we wouldnt know where to begin. I watch new day in and out when Im in school Im wearing my walkman all the time. I watch around me. Half of my friends hate the goverment and they all have there reasons, but at least when we debate they give me credit for knowing what I know and not just saying stuff, or claiming I know, thats why there my friends, because I met all of them when we started to argue over somthing.

**iceyshiver21** · 04-02-2003, 09:21 PM

Through them I learned that I cant trust everything...and that is where my point comes from.

**Soledad** · 04-02-2003, 09:21 PM

You stated something as a fact. I asked for a source or a link verifying that "fact" and you could not supply it. I will not take your word for it, sorry.

**iceyshiver21** · 04-02-2003, 09:27 PM

How can I supply proof when It is somthing Ive learned. I heard it, my dad said somthing about it. My teacher and Pastor talked to us about it. If you are counting all them wrong, then I dont know whats right and its no use replying to a complete idiot. Have you seen how wild the protest are?? Throwing things? They act like a class of 3rd grades the day they get a substitute teacher. I dont know about you but I belive that we are givin rights here in this country that others can only dream about, and I think it is very wrong to abuse those rights that we have.

**Soledad** · 04-02-2003, 09:29 PM

Well, I'll wait to hear it on the news rather than take a fifteen year old stranger's word for it.

**iceyshiver21** · 04-02-2003, 09:41 PM

There was a good reason why I dont put my age on most things. If you where to meet me in person you'd know that right away. Im not childish I grew up fast when you have three jobs(more than most adults) to take care of the things you love you might grow up quick too. Politics and debates are my life. But you wouldnt know that because I'm a stranger and to think that I thought of all of you as my "second familys" I may have not been on here long but where else can you talk about your puppy dying and get 3 pages of reponses?? I have alot of responsiblity and If I needed to I could get people to back me up on that but I dont have the time to do that for a "staranger" do I?? Who ever said you had to take my word on it?? Nobody. Its what I though and belive. I suggest you better start watching the news, but remeber you cant belive everything.
