I haven’t forgotten anything, Bud. I walked away from 1 WTC on September 11th and volunteered to re-enlist on September 12th. The Navy didn’t want 38 year-old ex-ordinance specialists who were 40 pounds overweight, but at least polite about it (lol). I’m voicing my opinion that the way to get rid of these folks is not to give them any attention. It’s specifically what they want.
There is a lesson I learned a long time ago when I used to babysit my infant nephews: when you respond to a child’s cry when it reaches acertain decibel level, the next time the child cries it begins it wail at exactly that pitch. The cycle continues, with the display becoming ever more shrill as the child figures how to get attention and, ultimately, manipulate you.
This is the strategy of the anit-war crowd, and Takoma and Buford have fallen for it, hook, line and sinker.
My other beef is about having my patriotism, my intelligence and my character assasinated by two idiots who imply that because I don;t see the world the same way they do, I must be a moral coward. Their argiument is an old and flawed one; if you aren’t anti-______, then you are objectively pro-______.”
Simpistic and juvenile.
And shame on YOU for falling into their trap of equating someone they happen to disagree with as an enemy. I have no truck with Cindy Sheehan or any of the hemp-wearing morons who follower her around, except that they have a very skewed and mentally-lazy view of the world.
“Noting gives you the right to make an off the cuff (unintentional I’m sure) insult to the widow of a war hero. If you had actually read what she posted you might not have slapped her in the face.”
I never insulted a war widow! How DARE you? The idiot comment was directed at Takoma (hell, it was addressed to him — His name appears in the TO line at the top of the post!). She (deb) took it as being directed at her, and it never was. Have people forgotten how to read now?
So your answer to quiet the screaming child is to ignore it? No matter how long it cries or how loudly? Keep in mind this “child” plans a city to city tour of wailing. To me, as a parent, you teach your child not to wail by telling them it’s wrong to begin with. I sure the hell wouldn’t let them wail and wail and keep going on...
Also, let us keep in mind that this “child” has many people encouraging her to wail. The lesson here is that not stopping your wailing child is REALLY BAD PARENTING.
No sir, the only person who ignores a wailing, out of control child is an idiot.
