It's ok Simon I'm always being accused of being a liberal, though I don't know any true "liberals" that believe that child molestors should get the death penalty, that I want to keep my right bear arms, and I don't agree with abortion, if it's used for birth control, but still believe that woman should choose what she does with her body, I like the bumper sticker that says "Don't like abortion? Then don't get one". I say I support the troops, and I get retort, that I can't, because I'm against this war, completely circular logic. Every pro-troop ralley, I've seen has been a big pro-bush ralley instead. I see pro-war people waving the american flags around, paying little attention to the fact, that they're little plastic flag was made in China, so they are basically supporting the economy of a communist country. I think alot of people in this country completely miss the details, and it's important to know the details. Do I want to live somewhere else, perhaps one day, someplace that has a nice beach, pretty woman frolicking on said beach, but not because of the reasons you want to insinuate. There's alot of countries, I'd simply like to visit, but that's been put on hold awhile, until the anti-american furvor dies down. I think it's ironic, that the "land of the free" is now the land of the "free" prison.
Anti-American? Do people only want their own opinions allowed?

Dakota is a cool poster, but dakota has an outburst of insults and people run to defend his right to do so, Simon has an outburst in response to being insulted and people run to hang him...? And you think Simon is the one who is being unfair? puurlease!

With Dakota I believe his outburst was situational and it was out of sheer frustration and anger. With TH it's habitual.
Gotta agree with XW on that one...
lol and for the record we are not the same person (see I say it even when I DO agree with you )
But to be fair to Simon, going behind his back and using his forum to try and recruit people for another board might have been the straw that broke the camels back.....

Maybe you should actually go read the threads in order, then tell me that again. I disagreed with Dakota, I got all kinds of labels from him. Before I said anything back to him, that could have seemed insultive. Maybe I should have ignored him, but on the same token, he's almost twice my age.

Hillary Step,
I really liked your comment about how ironic it is that people can't discuss war without starting another one!!!! Very good point!!!!
As far as the DR and Simon thing, DR did say that he was "through over there", in his quote, meaning this forum. To be fair, I think it would be up to him to contact Simon to discuss coming back, if he wishes. Like Simon said, DR has his e-mail address.
Now, in regards to the war over there..... I'm against how it started. I think it was out of line for the U.S. to go in the way they did, without the U.N. approval. However I understand how other Americans feel that we should now support THE TROOPS.... not the government that made them go!!!!
I tend to disagree with people that we should support the U.S. government. If you found out your neighbour was a thief, but promised he would never steal from you, his neighbour, should you respect that? Just because it only hurtsOTHER PEOPLE doesn't make it any less WRONG!!! I have expressed my views to friends regarding how I DO NOT support Bush, etc. and eluded to his ALTERIOR motives. I was surprised how some took it as though I supported Saddam, because I didn't support Bush.
I support neither. It's like a bar room fight between 2 drunken idiots..... Stay away from them as much as possible to avoid being hurt yourself. Unfortunately some other people still get hurt because of a couple of morons.
Brad...... of the 'that's gotta be worth at least a nickel' class.....

I worked again today with Duffy (a VietNam vet). We worked for about 4 hours, and then just talked for a couple more.
He cried, and I cried.
He fought in war, and he knows that I, as a JW, never did.
But, he cried, and I cried with him.
Memories and feelings of a warrior should never be discarded.

You are 32-33? That arguement only works when you are under 18
