Can't say I disagree with those statements. Sums it up pretty well.
very true film O0
thanks for sharin O0
Sorry to say but it is in mankinds nature to destroy that which they fear or that what they see as a
personal gain.
As with a wolf pack, there is always one alpha and somewhere along the way there is always a beta waiting to challenge at the exact moment there is a possible weakness.mankind has reached the top of the food chain,so there is nothing to fear now but ourselves.That in itself is the weakness.Even as your signature suggests,tomorrow is a victory over a lesser person.
It is saddening that so many families have lost loved ones,over a war that may or may not have been worth the loss.I greatly appreciate those people and the sacrifice they have made so we can feel safe and be with our families .
It would be nice to say that someday there will be universal peace(Star Trek style or Bill and Ted style)
whichever you like,but in the end there is today,your friends and loved ones.As we watch our children grow
we can only hope they learn from past mistakes made.
Flame me if you like for everyone is entitled to their free opinion.
well said O0
Consider yourself flamed. :P j/k

Thank you for posting that...that is a great message
At the risk of also being flamed :P ...I'm kinda blonde and not exactly sure what the "real" message is :-\
I am not in anyway saying I agree with everything our President has done or is doing...blah blah
However, no one will ever get me to say things to destroy the morale of our soldiers and our allies fighting in this war. My prayers and sympathy go out to each and every family who has lost a loved one..I detest the war...but, I do support my country and I'm proud to be an American..I thank God everyday that I am. I have some friends (soldiers) who have or are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan now and I know from their mouths..how this kind of propaganda grates on them and they still continue to believe in the USA and what this wonderful country stands for.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, of course, and I do respect this....like I said, I don't agree with many things the gov't has done...but neither did I with the Clinton admin. or the Reagan admin....and it is so wrong to live in this wonderful country and feel that is ok and "the thing to do" to try to destroy the morale of our soldiers while they are still fighting (and dying..yes :( )
Again my opinion..and only one of what 290+ million..but dang I'm sure proud to be an American and I feel blessed.
??? Ummm, there was nothing in that message that attacked the soldiers. It was a statement about the politics behind the senseless deaths. In case you didn't notice, there was a flashing counter (under the bottom right corner of the clip) that displayed pictures of the soldiers that were killed in the line of duty. In fact, the person that developed this flash animation even included the fact that his/her father was killed in Iraq.
As for past administrations, well, let's just say there are enough ppl on here that have a bug about me, so I'll bite my tongue on that...
Thanks DJ for your reply.
I did see the counter, I do realize the number of soldiers who have given their life for hmmm I dunno..maybe a "senseless war" I only meant to tell my experiences with the few I know personally...and they say this is only trying to destroy the morale. I remember Vietnam.. I remember MLK ...and I agree with his messages about peace...but honestly, I haven't made him a "Hallmark card"...so I was just kinda confused...
When there is war..there will be deaths...a sad fact...but still a fact.
My only point in replying ( I don't post replies to get my post count up) was to say I, myself, and only speaking for myself..will not stand up against our great USA during a time of war...when we have people losing their lives daily...Sure, I would love peace, isn't that everyone's dream?
I know how many of our soldiers fighting this war and stationed across the world feel..when a "few", at home, start to do this. No one attacked the soldiers, I know.
I didn't even get the "dance" music..lol must not be my style ..but, with the remarks against Bush and the MLK and all that...just wondering...call me blonde..lol I don't mind :P
Dj ... Thank you for posting that link ...
Get ready to flame me cause here comes my two cents worth.
"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."
1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good 'ole' boys", we will never "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave.We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need
it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "
First I don't think the heading for this thread is right.
It should be "My opinion is about the War on Civilization".
What I have just seen was either a political statement or a racial statement or both.
1. What President in Modern History has never lied, Republican or Democrat?
2.Why do we need a National Holiday to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. (a.k.a Civil Rights Day, Black Monday) when Lincoln freed the slaves.
When WW2 Freed the Jews and the American Indians got there own Nation, we did not give them their own National Holiday. Why, Politics? Yes
3. Those that serve in our Nations Military know what they are expected to do. It is in their oath of service. If they don't agree they can get out!
I am proud of ALL that are doing what their Country is asking of Them them to do.
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!
I am also proud to be an American and I support the military and the President. I also support the site creator's right to free speech and her opinions. BUT, I think that site is exactly the kind of thing that creates dissention in this country and damages the moral of our soldiers in harms way. Sounded to me like it was more about bashing our government and promoting an agenda that is not totally about peace. And the fact that one of the final images looked like that whack job Cindy Sheehan re-enforces that. I'm sure I will be roasted, toasted and burned to a crisp for my comments but I too have that same right to free speech and my own opinion.
I support the troops. I don't support your president and I don't support his (yes I said his, not this) "war" and I don't know why he's still at "war" if it was declared a victory over a year ago. That's all I'm going to say about that (and no, he's not my president... I claimed Canadian status when he was "elected the 1st time" in 2004!)

Today is March 5, 2006.
On May 1, 2003, George Bush stood on the deck of the USS Lincoln and declared "Mission Accomplished".
Roughly 2,000 men and women have died since that date.
We have since learned that there were no weapons of mass destruction, that in fact, the Administration lied about intelligence in order to make a case for their war.
A man with morals and dignity wrote an op-ed piece about those same lies, and this Administration outed his wife as a CIA operative while she was undercover.
Reconstruction contracts to "rebuild" Iraq and Afghanistan have been handed out to Halliburton and their subsidiaries on a no-bid basis. As of today, Halliburton has overcharged you, the taxpayer, over $100 million for work they did not do.
We pulled our Special Forces out of Afghanistan to go find Saddam Hussein. Weren't we supposed to be looking for Osama?
We sent monies overseas to assist the victims of the tsunami's and earthquakes in Asia. Bush came on National television 4 days after Katrina and said "No one could have predicted the levees would breach". Three days ago, a FEMA briefing, which Bush attended, was released in which then Director Michael Brown relayed, 3 days prior to Katrina making landfall, that he was "seriously concerned" about the levees and the choice of the Superdome as the evacuation site. After Katrina, Brown was made the fall-guy by this Administration.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great man. Yes, he does, in my opinion, deserve a holiday. Not only what he did for African-Americans, but the for what the Civil Rights Movement was able to accomplish for women, all minorities and the disabled.
Without dissention, there would be no democracy. At this point, we are close to living in a fascist nation.
foxx O0
more great reasons why i should run for president
Freedom is a top
price to pay for...the ultimate sacrifice
U.S.A. Will never back off If we did now
all that have died would have died in (vain)
Stand by your country we are the best country in the world
we must stand united at all times
God Bless America
And God Bless Our troops
And families >>>the troops that have died have payed the
Ultimate price for The USA and if <<<they never fought
we would never have FREEDOM
Amen!!!!!

1. As far as name-calling, weren't you just calling Bush the anti-christ?
2. As far as Clinton goes:
a. The Sudan (never knew a by-product of aspirin production was a WMD).
b. Yugoslavia (as if that was the first country in history to experience a civil war). Also, his approach on Kosovo allowed the KLA to take dominance (an internationally acknowledged al-Qaeda cell). Not to mention the policy of using depleted uranium weaponary (which has killed tens of thousands of civillians via cancer).
3. As far as Sheehan is concerned, she reminds me more and more of Michale Moore - so desperate for acceptance by the "underground resistance" against the "evil empire" that the actual cause becomes secondary. Think about it: outside of the active democrats, how many ppl remember her for her cause, or her as the person that keeps getting busted by the police everytime Bush speaks in public?
4. While Bush might not be the brightest guy, at least he never claimed to have invented the Internet (*Gore*) O0
"Republicrat-Democran, one party system." Same s***, different name. After all, it's really just an aristocracy. They just take turns in committing the evil.
the difference between clinton and bush is....clintons lies were mostly about his sex life(who cares?) as opposed to bush who lies about everything and now hand picks the reporters so he wont get asked questions that show how much of a liar he is. :P
the only bad thing about Clinton is that he couldn't keep his pants on and lied about it. At least he was upfront with just about everything else. As for Gore at least him saying I invented the internet didn't put anybody in the hospital. Cheney bagged some ol lawyer thinking it was a bird.

LMAO whatever happened to free speech? As can be inferred from my posts on this thread, I'm neither Republicrat or Democan. They both have committed evil acts. And it has
NOTHING to do with the soldiers; they are just "pawns in the games of the rich gang." I've got a couple of friends in Iraq right now. I know that they don't want to be there, but it's their duty, which they willingly accepted.

OK, this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Please, go to Snopes.com and do a little fact checking. Gore never said he invented the internet. That whole thing was taken out of context and again, spun into a wad of propaganda. I'll let you do the research, because frankly, I'm sick of explaining it. Secondly, Sheehan may be little nuts, but she's NOT the one that makes policy in this country. That being said, what she does is fundamentally American, i.e. challenging our government and exercising her right to free speech. And I did NOT call Bush the anti-Christ. That being said, I believe our president is fair game.........I would like to think I'm above calling a fellow member of a forum a derogative name. Lastly, BILL CLINTON IS NO LONGER PRESIDENT! This is something that I am constantly having to remind some folks. And besides, regardless of what Clinton did? If it was wrong? It doesn't make it OK for others to do the same.
Now, I have a feeling that we could continue this discussion in to the next millennium, however, I've had this exact same discussion over and over ad infinitum with the same, tired results. So, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go play Pogo or hammer a nail in my foot or something equally entertaining.
Have a good one.

For those of you who believe all government is corrupt so you bash both parties, let me just say this...Apathy breeds, well, nothing. If you aren't working for change, you are just complaining.
If I don't like it, leave??? Aren't we a progressive nation that allows free expression of thought?
....and because of that, I can proudly support our troops and not support his war.
I'm going to find Libra and see if she has an extra nail...
Hey Word Life.... CLEAN OUT YOUR PM BOX!!!!! O0

Lol I hear you talk about your "power of the Hippo" all the time lol and it's kinda starting to scare me lolol
I will always support our troops - they are following orders. My brother (National Guard) was in Iraq for over a year. He lost 5 friends - I lost my brother - not physically but he is changed. He watched his friends die. National Guard Logistics Unit - 1 weekend a month - 2 weeks a year. The hope to go to college - appealing considering most 18 yr old financial situation. My brother is fighting to get that money to go to college. He has sent applications offered to re-up, protested by our family. Now he is working in the union on lay off status...and he is disappointed with "his" government. He will tell you war in Iraq is all about politics. I know there will never be a Utopian Society. What concerns me is that with other major problems in the world...North Korea and Osama, why our soldiers were sent to a place with - NO WMD. Osama had WMD - our own citizens in airplanes. N Korea - nuclear capabilities. Our government should be deriving plans to stop these problems, before they are out of hand. The message that DJ posted is an important and profound one - It made us all think and formulate an opinion. If that is all that it did - raise questions or awareness...then it has and will continue to do what it was meant to do.
I am not so high on my pedestal for name calling, but Bush is the anti-christ. I will help dig a bigger hole...we may be here awhile lol.

Sorry to hear of your brother's (and by extention, your) trauma. All we can do is continue to let our legislators know how we feel about W's war and the impact it has had on families like yours. Thank you for sharing that with us. We'll be glad to make room in the hole for you.
I sympathise with the losses. No I am Sorry for the losses!
And like in my previous post, it does not matter which party is in the Big White House, it is the same thing over and over again.
And before the questions start, NO, I voted for neither REP or DEM.
Members of the Military know what they are expected to do, Full Time or Part Time. Oath is the same,
unless they only look at it as a way to get money for college, then they think the oath doesn't apply.
By the way, Yes I have Served, Honorably. Under both parties no less.

Even if you're not a fan of dance music, you have to watch this... The message is just too powerful. Something that everyone should see.
Very VERY good message. Not unlike Mahatma Gandhi's message. He defeated (grass roots up, by the way) British rule to free India and make it the world's largest democracy. And, he did it not through war, but with civil disobedience, which, unlike the current war our country is fighting in, is NOT an oxymoron. War does not equal peace. War equals death. And the one with the most toys wins. Now, "neener neener neener" seems somehow, ghoulish, don't you think?

My brother served proudly and was trying to go back. The point I was making with the College aspect was - they get a lot of this kids to join with that perk. So here is my brother - who has served and cannot get the help that they promised. The government makes it difficult to collect on their promises. And by the Cowboy - he took his oath to heart and worked to become something in Iraq because he felt that he could protect his fellow members by being in control of situations - as a Specialist (gunner).
