Not only that, how about the 72 virgins?

Before he was captured
he dreamt of his raptures
his pulse was surging
anticipating his 72 virgins
he'll find it's a bitter cup
from which they've chosen to drink
they didn't bother to think
they won't be able to get it up

Oh boo hoo!
Someone talked mean to the widdle tewwowist.


LOL

The father is an part-time attendant at a male bath-house and the mother is deep in her Budhist studies.

They are both doing as well as expected. Mum wants to be a tree-sitter and dads boyfriend hopes she falls off.

Marion County... it don't get any better than this! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I live in MA and see these “alts” everywhere. They are confused people of both sexes and whatever falls in between.

*BARF ALERT* on this post.

"Please don't kill me"

If his "dance card" wasn't full already, lil' Johnny Taliban won't have to worry about a "date" for the next three months after having this hit the stand. Bet they're just lining up at his cell.

Due to recent demand the price has gone from one pack of cigs to three. Reservations required well in advance please!

[Jeff Chandler]

I guess somebody forgot to tell Johnny that war is hell.

I sure you meant to write "War is HECK".

[William Tell]

NWU Army ROTC said: "The Defense lawyer is stupid if he wants this Marine to testify. Does he really want the Marine to state his opinion of Johnny Bin Walker. It doesn't seem very smart legally, to call as a witness for your case, someone who is hostile to your case and who probably has an incredibly bad (and justified) opinion of this Junior Benedict Arnold."

Quite the contrary. The Marine's testimony will be quite consistent with an environment which is suitable for the treatment of a prisoner of war accused of treason.

The conditions were not consistent with the presumption of innocence and protection of citizen rights which are implied by the legal treatment which Lindh is receiving in court.

The venom which is contained in the many replies concerning Lindh reflect the general feeling that Lindh deserves to be punished for treason.

The defense is far ahead of the game if they are successful at demonstrating that the treatment and charges against Lindh constitute a charge of treason. The Constitution is very clear about the level of proof required and it exceeds that which is typical in criminal cases.

Like it or not, we are trying Lindh for having committed treason and we are unwilling to admit it. I predict that we will be hearing from the US Supreme Court about this at some time in the future.

The lie-yer has no business complaining about anything the marines allegedly said. Why? Because one of the defense strategies that they have already put over is that Prof J Johnny John Lennon DooDoo Jimmy Lindh Walker's actions in Afghanistan are protected under the First Amendment "free speech" provisions.

The marines were just practicing a little free speech.

[TC Rider]

Tsk, tsk. The polite way of saying it is "Shut the f*** up, if you please."

You must try to be sensitive to our new arrivals...

"Shut the f*** up, por favor."

In case any freeper ever finds themselves in Quebec, the response is...

"Shut the f*** up, s'il vous plaît."

[Havisham]

What's the matter with these Marines? This mom would have said and done so much worse. !@#$#@!@#$#@!

[Havisham]

John is gay, gay, gay. What straight man his age would volunteer for those conditions half the world away?

[monkeywrench]

Do they have the names of these marines? Maybe that's what the defense is really after. The excuse they're using on this is pretty lame. What do they really want?

When defense wanted to interview the prisoners at gitmo (a different lame reason), I wondered the same thing. I figured that was to pass info back and forth.
