Well now pardner, I'm not the one dissing an honorable man, now am I? Directly supporting them in the field, wow! That must be a tough row to hoe! Here you are, out there, putting your life on the line, dodging bullets and mortar shells; suffering hardships and hazzards most of us cannot imagine. And yet, crouched over your keyboard, with live fire ripping up your office, you take the time to enlighten us lesser civilian folk as to what does and does not constitute a patriot?!?!? My point being, your disrespect for a man who payed his dues and acted in accordance with his conscience seems out of line, and coming from someone 'directly supporting troops in the field' seems particularly bad form. Go get em, tiger! Make America safe! ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I think you meant to reply to our warrior in Kosovo. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

So the British military allows soldiers to just chuck it in and discharges them, or something similar? I didn't know that they could do that - in the U.S. military, they have to declare themself a CO, and even then it's not a guaranteed out. I think he paid tons of dues ...have you? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Ahhh, the much awaited Police Pre-Crimes Division. So, if you had an angry expression on your face, would this indicate you should be arrested because you are more likely to fight or drive recklessly??? ASSUME THE POSITION! ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

You've reached this conclusion based on ...? Do you have experience in academic or scientific research? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I believe you. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

LOL. Not a catty remark there. I do think people see it for what it is...a thinly veiled attack camoflagued as an assessment (inaccurate, at best) on someone. It just makes me laugh how someone who's been caught stealing someone else's words - and then admitting it - now believes there's a prosecution against her, or at the least, "stalking" her. But hey, to each their own...far be it from me to call someone paranoid. I don't know enough about the illness to accurately assess that from several thousand posts... Ciels- Michele Let's see, out of the blue, you track down a quick copy and paste I made, jump in a thread you had not participated in and attempt to make it about character. You pour over my old posts looking for something/anything to use as ammunition. Nah, no problem there. How much of your life is devoted to me, what I post and where it came from and how will it possibly benefit you? At any rate, good luck with it and have fun in the school yard. I'm sure I'll be hearing from you again. CYA ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Gotta adjust the message for the audience. I got $50. says Michele can kick your ass. The world is full of people that can kick my ass. Only one is cyber stalking me, however. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Erm....well...maybe if you elaborated upon what it is I should be getting over - because apparently I've forgotten - I might be able to answer that... I stand corrected. I didn't go to college, but even I know about proper accredidation of quotes. Skydvr, I agree...I was wondering the same thing. Then I read through the rest of the thread, and saw no notation which corrected an error...so I attribute it to plagiarism. I could be wrong... Ciels- Michele Well, we all have our faults. I steal material. On the positive side, I'm thankful I can express myself directly rather than skulk around the board looking for opportunities to take catty little pot shots at someone I am miffed at. I suppose it's all related to self concept. More the pitty

Can't get over it, can you, Michelle? For the record, I'm writing my dissertation. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I appreciate your candor. I think we should encourage more below average people to express themselves. I suppose when the career options are the military or Burger King, the former is probably the best choice. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

If you could only see how the two are connected, you would be a better person and a better American. It also explains why your oath means so little. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

The video! Don't forget the video!!! ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Ehm... which country would that be again? (hint: profile) I don't know what that expression means. Must be one of your colourful American expressions.

No, I will not put them aside. If you consider yourself an American, neither should you. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Remind me to give you a kiss on the cheek if I ever meet you*. Beautifully put. *You may opt for a beer if you should so desire.

No, the time for intervention was earlier. Now innocent people are dead because you took a pass on honor. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Fair enough. Shoot the bitch! AMERICA, HOME OF (non-offensive) FREE SPEECH! * *Offer void where prohibited by law. Severe penalty for trespassing. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I have difficulty accepting that someone who advocates the cold blooded murder of a non-violent protestor is attempting to claim a piece of moral high ground. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

After 20 years of aiding his fellow Indians in South Africa, Gandhi returned to India and picked up the fight against British oppression. Instead of encouraging native born Indians to take up arms and force the British colonists out of their country, Gandhi created a policy of non-violent protest. "Non-violence, " he said, "is a weapon for the brave." For 20 years, non-violent protests, marches and strikes by the Indians wore down British resistance. Confronted by a slight man wearing only a plain cloth and accompanied by millions of followers armed not with weapons but love and truth, the British government in 1946 finally gave India its long-held dream of independence. The fight for India's freedom had been won without a battle having ever been fought. Sadly, two years after his great victory, Gandhi was shot and killed by an assassin's bullet. But Gandhi's legacy lived on after his death, showing the world that one can be a hero and accomplish great things without guns or swords or hatred. As Gandhi once said, "It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us. I know how difficult it is to follow this grand law of love, but are not all great and good things difficult to do? Love of the hater is the most difficult of all. But by the grace of God even this most difficult thing becomes easy to accomplish if we want to." ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Perhaps the hardest 'sell' is not those who froth at the mouth against homosexuality being an abomination and a crime against humanity, but those otherwise good people who feel they are not prejudiced ...as long as gays are elsewhere. Now, if it's your living room (or bedroom) we were talking about, fine. The govt issued tent for a govt employee doing the govt's work is quite another, don't you think? How about sharing a tent with a black man? Would the resultant lack of self esteem due to penis envy be detrimental to the mission? How about sharing a tent with a woman who might find you sexually attractive (you big stud!)? Hell, I haven't even met you and I want to cornhole you. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

wrong. the military does allow gays. they only have to follow one, simple rule: keep it to yourself because situations arise in the military where having known homosexuals present proves to be too detrimental to the mission. The military once banned blacks saying allowing them would be disruptive and detrimental to the mission ...they were right. Then blacks were allowed and the military changed and adapted. You now make the same argument against gays. The detriment comes from the inbreeding of prejudice. Get rid of the silly assed rule and the military will once again change and adapt ...and be better for it. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Ahhh, back to your religion again. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
