Anthem for Doomed Youth
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons. No mockeries for them; no prayers nor bells, Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, -- - The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires. What candles may be held to speed them all? Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes. The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall; Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.

In your opinion?
YOUR OPINION SUCKS.
And now, some words spoken with the heck power of "Voice of the Abomination":
May your intestines boil inside your stomach as they are possesed by demons of ghastly stench as your eyes rot inside your putrid skull while your brain runs out of your ears as the green slime that it is.
May your bowels unstopper themselves during meetings, and your tongue turn to leather in your lying mouth.
May your relationships with the opposite sex fail miserably due to chronic and painful flaming urination and infectios seeping.
May you experience the torment of a million mad souls laughing and burning in eternity.
May you suffer the burnination of a hundred hells.
For your information, TROLL, the freedoms you take for granted today and indeed urinate upon with your supposed intellect are guaranteed by the military you insult.
As a former soldier, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE and the GRAVES OF YOUR ANCESTORS.
May there NEVER be a person in your family without a pustule, boil, or other infectious DISEASE on down into your children's children's children's days.

I must apologise to my fellow FReepers for my post #46.
I'm feeling rather *cough* KIND today.
I also doubt this clown, and mappe from last night, are German at all.
(More likely lying DU sacks of putrescence trying to be intellectual or attempting to make some stupid idiotic lunatic poliitical point that means nothing..)

Why must the songs all cry and weep?
For, as I read what y'all FReep,
just once, I want music that's a sign
of what's stirring in this heart of mine.
Let the sound of drums meet boots
and rumble unto the mountains' roots!
Let the rifles shake the ground
with the charging handle's righteous sound!
Let the cries from a thousand throats,
"Man your guns!" and "Away All Boats!"
form a blessing for warriors to hear:
"May Your Enemies Walk With Fear!"

Peaceful tommorrows through DESTRUCTION of one's enemies TODAY.
You're either with us and for us, or you are with the terrorists and for the terrorists.
Gerhard and Chirac have placed their snotty nosed lot with the terrorists.
And you have as well.

Motivate us to the polls.

His love of America is conditional while his love of Europe and Germany are unconditional.
Note the ellipses at the end of "I love America ..."

True.
Probably conditional on us turning all power control and authority over to the UN and the EU..
