Response to: Is chrIstianity Ruining Our Nation? Posted July 7th, 2004 in Politics

I don't think christianity is ruining our nation, I think it's the stupid backward people who do not realize that all people are people... It's just some odd concidence that a lot of these people are christian. I guess Christianity, when improperly used, provides moral justification for the bad thoughts and deeds these people wish to do.

And for the record, I am not Christian.

Yeah, that's true, homosexuals are getting shafted by the media, and society in general. I say kick over the sign, he can say what he wants, but I can make a statement by kicking it over. Dumb pastor, spread the right message, not the wrong one.

I'm not sure there is much America can do at this point... I mean if someone is fucked up enough in the head to blow themselves up, I don't think us leaving will change that. If we aren't there, it would be some anti-Isreali thing.

You take an attempt to impeach Clinton as a serious accusation? Come on, you're old enough to nkow that the Republicans were trying to find anything they could to get Clinton out of office.

(And FYI the M in ICM stands for missile, so unless China was making missile missiles, you don't need the extra missile)

Yes it would. You may hear people saying that they would vote for him now... But when they really get down to it and realize that they will be ruled by a black man, they would renege on their verbal promises and vote against him... I think we still have a long way to go even before a black man as qualified and great as Colin Powell can even make it in.

The 4th of july , to me, is a day to show my appreciation for my country by blowing shit up. Much the same the English show their pride in their country at a football (and if you're thinking pigskin and linebacker football, please, leave now) game.

And for all you foreigners here, don't blame Americans for what our president does. Shit, I mean more people voted against him that for him, he had less votes than the second guy.

Response to: Killing little Babies Posted July 6th, 2004 in Politics

Prune Tracy had a good point about a couple meaning to have a baby when one or both of them change their mind afterwards. I'm sure there were many girls in my high school that were in stable relationships and thought that they would have stayed that way for a child, but were proven wrong after it was too late. What then?
Keep the baby at the family's expense? (I say family because the mother's future becomes the future of all of the kids hse has afterwards, her poor future could be affecting multiple future kids.)
send the baby off for adoption and probably never see the baby again, not even sure if the baby will ever make it out of orphanages and such?
Or abort the baby and essentially forget it ever happened and go on with her life, and have a chance to create a better situation to have future children?

It's a tough choice, but I think that the mother should be able to decide for herself (or with the father depending on the circumstances.)

Response to: Voting Posted July 3rd, 2004 in Politics

I'm for Kerry, with Bush's rash decisions and multiple unilateral actions, he has turned a once ideological young person, into one who beleives that no matter how hard he tries, he re cannot have an effect on what the president really does... Bush might as well be king for as little as he takes the people into account... (Whigs reborn?)

Thank you so much!!! You've just helped me with my debate! Thanks!

The jobs given to peopel younger than 18, driving, taxes and one's own conduct are all a lot simpler than the political system. Amd I seriously wouldn't trust someone who hasn't even graduated high school to have an impact on the way that I live for the rest of my life.

I've got your good reason... if people 16 and older can drive(depending on the state they live in), go to prison, be executed for certain crimes, etc. why shouldnt they be able to vote on these things, like, why shouldnt they be able to vote against a law(the death penalty) that they dont like, if they may be subjected to it in the future. Its just like in vietnam, like you said, 18 yr. olds couldny vote against the war, because they were not 21 or older, yet they still had a chance of being drafted into it. Its the same thing. It has to stop!

Oh boy, I know some war vets who would hate you for what you just said. The death penalty being given to 16 year olds and 18 year olds being able to be drafted is way different. When you are given the death penalty, YOU did something that deserved it. When you are drafted, you did not do anything to get drafted, you were just unlucky enough to be born at the wrong time.

People aren't subjected to the death penalty, they earn it, people don't earn the draft, they are forced to do it.

Nah, easier ways to stay cool in the heat, ways of keeping some of our equipment operational beyond the norm and stuff like that. Although my shop especially don't like what they do to the radios to put them past their limits though since when they come back to the states we gotta fix all kinds of shit that blew out. But it got the job done very well. Just killed the longgivity of the equipment.

Well, the equipment's reliabiolity and ability to last during combat is much more important than the longevity outside of combat.

Well, I don't really think that memorials are a bad thing, I mean 6500 people died. Might as well have something honoring their death. But to make it such a huge deal in our everyday lives will kill us.

I'm damn glad that you, especially being part of the military, can say that. Many people try to criticize those against the war for being against the troops, and conversely that if you support the troops you must support the war. This has caused many problems, and I'm just glad that someone especially in the military can understand that.
