Being new to the forum, sorry for those I offend. Well, no... I'm not sorry. Those of you who CHOSE to click the post, and then whined like high school girls must have forgotten about 9/11, or FAILED to realize the true meaning of this post. We are Americans, and we live in The United States of America, but we're definitely not united as is clearly apparent with the senseless babbling and ranting from the members who chose to critisize this post. Killercanary, thank you for posting this, I give you a big THUMBS UP!
For those who whined, I don't give a rat's ass about your political preference, if you voted, if you're even registered to vote, you are more than likely all Americans, and regardless of whether you support the war in Iraq, Afghanastan, or any other war, you're all being selfish little babies. IT'S AN OPEN FORUM, FREE OF CHARGE, WHERE PEOPLE CAN DISCUSS THINGS, INCLUDING SOMETHING OFF TOPIC FROM TIME TO TIME. Go move to Iraq, or Afghanastan, or even Iran, Palestine, Libya, Cuba, etc., you wouldn't have the freedom to join this forum, you'd live in an opressed society without the freedom to have a life like you do. You're taking things for granted apparently, and don't realize the cost of freedom, like that video said. I guess everyone here forgot that a war that FOUNDED this country, but I guess history is easily forgotten because you don't live in a society where terrorist activities are so common that you have to worry whether or not the guy who is standing next to you in line at the supermarket with the big heavy coat on could possibly be concealing a bomb under it, and is waiting for the line to fill up more before he detonates it. Grow up! For those who care, I voted for Bush, but had Kerry won, I still would've backed every decision he would've made for national security, as I will with Bush, as I did with Clinton. We as a nation elected the president, he didn't gain power due to a coup d'etat, now start being Americans and support the president, and our country. If you don't like the way things are, make a difference. Write your congressman or senator, get involved in local, county, and state governments. If not, you must not care that much, but just want to hear yourselves talk. Mods, please lock this thread, it's just going to continue to escalate to the point that we'll lose some very knowledgable members over an issue that will never go away in our lifetime.
