They would rather fight like the have been doing since Jesus was a baby.

islam had not yet been invented when jesus was a baby, i think it was about 700 AD when muhammed had his "vision".

Did not say anything about islam.
Was talking about the middle east in general.

It will never stop amazing me how we the smartest of the primates
just keep killing one another and over what?

Just think if the energy and money spent on killing was used to help cure sick people and educate our kids what we could do.

When I was younger I was about kill kill kill but as I get older and closer to my own death I started realising that human life is so much more valuable than we know.

Eevry time I hear about another soldiers death i cringe on the impact that that one death will create.

The emptyness of his family and friends the complete impossibility of what he might have become later in life.

The fact that if he has kids that he will never see them grow up and If he had not started his family how he will be denided to joy of holding his baby in his arms for the first time.

So dont missunderstand me I love America and all her people.
I just want them to not die for someone elses cause thats all.

Ok seeing it wont let me edit this I will just say after giving it thought I feel my comment to you was in bad taste and was just a silly response to your
insults.

Therefore I will say it was childish and imature of me.

Just got back...and heres what I gotta say about critics from newspapers: If it ain't a French Sundance film starring a female lead struggling in new york with her abusive boyfriend and finds love with a quirky guy who works in a toy shop, then it isn't getting 5 stars.

The movie was probably the best I have seen in any theater. It shows life as a Marine, and life as a person in the Marines. There are many on the edge of your seat moments, and plenty of innuendo and jokes.

Near the end it almost got me crying, and for that I am glad to say that it got that far. You develop feelings for the soldiers and for those who were too young to witness GW1, then this is a great movie for that experience. I remember in the 1st grade watching it all unfold and it brought back memories of my friend's sister heading out there.

It brings up a lot of questions of life, how you live it, and what you do after "The Suck".

Screw them critics. Screw some fat guy eating a tub of popcorn and saying what is great and what isn't. Finally a film that isn't afraid to be gritty and savage and yet deep and caring in the same token.

Go see Jarhead and tell me that you don't come out of that theater thinking different of your life and the our brave soldiers.

Thanks Sigma, finally a post on topic. Hopefully will be able to catch it this weekend

Fart you Son are what we call in the Military a "Weak Sister".

Your Liberal pantys and the fact that you are missing brain cells show that you a out of touch with reality.

For you to get close to anything called reality would at least be a remarkable stretch...but febble minds such as yours will nerver comprehend the obvious...face it yer a DipChit looking for a purpose in Life and have been robbed.

In yer eye, so you see where I coming from,

with Love,

Mac

I dont think you should consider the cub scouts military.

And your what we would call a goober smootcher.
If your such a war stud Im sure they can use another over in Iraq go ahead tough guy ship out.

And only an ignorant child would rattle on like yourself just becuase someone might hold a different opnion from you.

And as typical talk is cheap on the intradnet so i doubt that you are 1/10th
of what you think you are and even if that you are still on the minus end of the scale.

With pitty!

Stay outta of the affairs and leave them alone unless they do something ignorant like point missles at us.

At what point in your ego do you think you speak for all of America?

Those missiles are pointed at us.

Well it worked for a man much smarter than you and I.
JFK was on the right track.

If having the utmost respect for human life makes me a liberal well I guess I am then.
Though I did vote for Bush and have no regrets about doing so given the choices out there at the time.

I just find it hillarious that those who are screaming yeah war yeah!!
kill em all let god sort em out have never been in combat or even seen a person die.

Every vet i have talked to said that only idiots cry for war real men cry for peace.

Just a bunch of imaginary tough guys thumping there hairless chest.
Although I have never taken a life I know men who have wether they were police or military and trust me it was not easy on them at all.

One of the brightest men in the world today Mr Collin Powell even got so
fed up with the current policy he quit.
now this is man who has been in combat and seen blood spilled in war.

I think I will take his word over some folks on a BBS that have no clue on what they are talking about.

Just remember the prisons are full of punks who had no respect for a human life.

Sit back and think for a moment and see whats going on here.
I am being jumped on by a few people here just because I advocate peace over war.
Now really how stupid is that?

If you want war so much then by all means join up your uncle sam will put you to work.

Go on put your arse in a war and when you come back I will be glad to hear what you got to say then.
