Maybe not responsible but fun. Some times you just got to let it all hang out.
The reason I said that is because I've criticized Ann Coulter for making similiar statements. But that's because she's a leading conservative pundit. It's not that I don't agree with her. I do a lot of the time, but things like that should generally be said privately.
Now, this Friedman guy, hardly anyone is going to read this, so it may as well be said in private. Hell, it went unnoticed by FReepers for over a week. I just happened to spot this on another forum and was surprised that it hadn't been posted here yet.
Please define "responsible" as used in he context of this critique.
Seems to me "responsible" is in the eyes of the beholder (to used an old, hackneyed phrase.) *S*
"Maybe not responsible but fun. Some times you just got to let it all hang out."
You want it "all hung out", and I'll gather a few of my old drinking buddies (E-6 & E-7 Viet Nam mud marines) and give you the chorus to the song.
You provide the earplugs, 'cause "fun" is going to have absolutely nothing to do with the way those guys saw the 'Nam or their reception when they came back from it.
This writer must have spent more time removing the profanity than he did writing it in the first place.
