Not being sarcastic either. I think everyone has reasons to be proud of their country.

BTW, keep in mind that statement started because we were told we should be ashamed of being Americans.

One of the mods can give a better definition, but I think that sums it up.



Magness...What he said. [img]smile.gif[/img]

BTW...You're welcome. Although, as Ronn also said, the main reason I made that statement was because of what was ('percieved' according to BtS, but, lets not split hairs ) an unprovoked attack on me and my patriotism specifically, and America in general.

Apology accepted. Thank you Barry. And honestly yes, it did seem like it singled me out.

Just so you can understand. I have incredible amounts of pride in my country, and am a staunch patriot. I use that particular sig/picture at every forum I belong to. My pride in being American is just as much a part of me as my pride in my family, or my friends. And I took what LG said as a very personal insult. Given all of that, I STILL dont see where I either A)Overreacted, or B)Attacked him back. All I did was point out that he was trolling.

thank you magness, it feels good to know that someone out there appreciates the the things that we do for this country. people are quick to judge, but none of them can possibly understand. not unless they have been there. i dont get how people in one country, can criticize another for actions it takes in defense of an unprevoked cowardly attack. those of you in other countries, this is in no way meant to be offensive, but how the hell can you protest this, if you have NO clue as to what the hell we are going through over here. i have lost my job because of this, and cant find a new one to save my life (or my families for that matter) im getting ready to lose my home because i cant make rent. i am running out of food, and am on my last month of elecricity and cable, and phone.so soon, i wont even have my computer, because i have to sell it for a measly amount of money, just so i can afford to eat for the next week or two. what im saying is, look at what this attack has done to people like myself. look at the 5000 families who's christmas will suck this year. that just from the families that lost loved ones. then there are those like me, who are JOBLESS now. according to the unemployment office in my city, 300,000 people have been laid off, or fired since the attack on us. so until you have dealt with all of this, i honestly dont feel that any of you should have a say in jack-s**t about what our country does. unless you are on the recieving end, you shouldnt b***h about it in the first place. anyway, thanx for listening to my crap. just needed to get that off of my chest.

again Magness, thank you very much.

Semper Fidelis!!!!!!

I said it, and I've argued the point repeatedly with SC and will continue to rebut this idea. To say that the conflict in Afghanistan is about money, or a pipeline, after September 11th just doesn't make sense. If we really wanted the oil from the region, why worry about a landlocked country that would only be part of a pipeline. Why not just take a country with a huge oil supply and a coast, so we can load it directly into US tankers?

I still find it amazing that people who want to be against something will use anything they can to make their point, even though there is something quite a bit more obvious as the reason. Why believe the obvious when there could be a hidden agenda? Some may not think the war in Afghanistan is the right way to go, but that doesn't mean that every conspiracy theory that could possible apply does.




Hehe, here be SC. Ronn, I think you're erring when you say you've repeatedly argued the oil/afghanistan point with me. I think you mean with my sister Tracey? I may have mentioned it once, but certainly no more. She posted the original newspaper article, if I remember rightly, and she was the one who defended it. I believe I had very little to say on the subject, actually...

Just waiting for Nachrafe to dredge through some old posts and bring up a comment I made ages ago...... LOL :Cheetah sits, chin in hand, awaiting the inevitable..: [img]smile.gif[/img]

norompanlasolas means something like dont break the waves or dont let the waves break. its a little hard to translate literally but it is something like that.

Nice to meet you too Nachtrafe. [img]smile.gif[/img]

So far Shiny Kitty, I've only done that once. Besides...you and I both know just how much fun it is to pin people with their own words.
