kallend 2,146 #26 September 22, 2007 Quote An who are you kidding with a statement like this? DO you really think that if our enemies there, got a hold of any of us as prisoner, we would be quartered, fed, and taken care of? It wasn't a statement, it was a question based on HIS statement in an attempt to clarify what he meant.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

BillyVance 35 #27 September 22, 2007 Quote Your gungho support for the invasion and occupation of a foreign country under false pretences will only bring more pain and suffering to all concerned. You've got to be fucking kidding me. The Taliban ran the country at the time of the 9/11 attacks, and we knew they harbored Al Qaida. They would not give up Osama Bin Laden and his co-horts, so we went over there to take the Taliban out and take down Al Qaida. Yes, I wish we'd had better results, but false pretenses, my ass!

Lefty 0 #32 September 22, 2007 QuoteQuote Get the bead on them, armed or not, they fold. Bunch of cowards. Does this mean you consider every serviceman who ever surrendered and became a POW to be a coward? Hah, I knew he'd say something like that. *yawn*Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't a statement, it was a question based on HIS statement in an attempt to clarify what he meant. I thought it was pretty clear what he meant, as I suspect most people would.

Jasmin 0 #43 September 27, 2007 I am at a loss to understand how a person can honestly entertain the notion that they understand the ideology of another poster, without knowing anything about them?There are very few women I know, Muslim or Christian, who would think it was unreasonable to find the encouraged suicide of a six year old distressing and abhorrent. Its got nothing to do with liberal/peacenik/dove fanaticism and everything to do with empathy for the loss of an innocent child. xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

I was arking up at being referred to as a peace loving fanatic. But am I guessing right from your reply that you were instead trying to label the Taliban 'peace loving fanatics'??? Huh????
