My God.
I just got off this thread. What disgusting display of utter crass stupidity.
We're going to war, and we have people around here drooling their political bulls***t. Some are nothing but foul-mouthed newbie freak trouble makers, who pee around on every thread and do nothing but cause consternation around here. They should be banned.
I tell you all. No matter what your feelings about the coming war, you should all have a big sad face right now. People are going to die for you. Die a lonely, undignified death. Many of you aren't worth ten of them. They DO, you talk and run your faces, incabable of sobriety.
Coward punks. You know nothing about war, or real violence. You know not much of anything, but how to clack your teeth like a bunch of chattering toy monkies. You should also be very concerned that our standard has gone from a war every other generation to a war every other year. It's a historic sign that a great society is on it's way out. The human race has a way of expelling nations who are in the middle of conflict all the time, just as the human body expells a virus.
The mongoloid looking freak that wrote the article ought to be shot in the head. Conservatives and objectivists are now Jew Haters because they have the nerve to question the almighty GWB and his happy bus? Is every effen thing about GWB? I'm convinced that many around here would actually see soldiers die to prop him up, just as I'm convinced that the smelly peacenicks would see civilians die just to tear him down.
I haven't said much on this, I don't talk about it much because it's painful for me. I left friends over there and seeing what these munitions do to a human body kind of changed your perspective a bit. I have tried to stay out of this. I thought maybe I could just watch and carry on. The last few days I've had a hole in my stomach, I can't get away this.
Even if I wanted to get into the argument, you can't get a word in edgewise between the smelly peacenick pacifist pinkos and the chickenhawk, couch warriors who've ordained themselves judge and jury to decide who's a patriot and who's "with the terrorists".
Not that I need to justify anything to any scumbag who questions my patriotism, but I fought one Gulf War and I support Israel 100%(how did we bring the Jews into this? I must say I'm confused). I'm not anti-war or pro-war. I believe what the bible says, there's a time and place for everyting. All I know is we can't have a damn converstation anymore.
Ef you people, and your rabid dispicible methods. Please God, just shut up for a bit so the rest of us can think. Maybe busy yourself killing some commie peacenicks or something.
You be careful who you say this to.
*applause*
If only you would take your own advice.
I was out before Gulf I, but I served as an artillery officer in the '70s....
You're right, of course, that this is a time of sadness, but also one of resolve and a firm determination to do our duty. Make some allowances, too, for those who are so nervous that they chatter like cheese-eating surrender monkeys, but will steady down once they hear the first round.
Most conservatives support the war, and I don't know of an Objectivist reason to oppose it. Do you know what Rand had to say about deposing dictators like Saddam? She said that such tyrants had no right to rule and the only valid reason for not removing them was if it wasn't in our interest to do so. This one is in our interest and I whole-heartedly support this war. It should have come sooner. I wish I was there to help.
All that said, I also find some of the gung-ho, war as a game, talk distasteful and wish people would be little more sober about this.
I must say I feel a bit better though. I hope this is all as easy as everyone is saying it's going to be. I'll be overjoyed if it is.
I want people to come to me and say "see, it wasn't that bad now was it".
I've never even read any Rand, beyond what's been posted here.
I haven't seen anything compared to guys that were in nam etc, I just saw enough to hate this. I just want it to go away.
I didn't make any assumptions. You said "conservatives and objectivists". I responded to both.
At least you didn't treat us to an OPUS posted as breaking news.
I've used FR to help my neighbors and family, to cook up activism, affect change, bring heat down on idiots, get my news, socialize with friends and many other things. My first html was posted right here, and now I'm doing stuff like this and this.
Never thought of it as real-life therapy. I feel so much better, now I can get back to business.
I want to say Jim, that I'm really glad I came across you 5 years ago. You're like my brother, I can fight with you and still love you. In any case I'm really happy you did this, it's completely changed my life.
