PA, it's too easy, at my age, to say I would fight any fight my government decides is right. By the time we get to needing fat 40 year olds we're screwed man. But I can say I would object to certain perceived enemies and goto option B, whatever that is. Our country is strong because individuals have stood up the government and said what is happening is wrong. I don't believe in fleeing and could almost agree with a one way door. I would not execute them when they returned. I find it amusing that some people will criticize anyone for excercising their free speech against the military by stating the military died for that right. Yeah, they died for my right to free speech and they wouldn't want me using it? Someone has to stand up and question our military. It keeps us from blindly following a Hitler.

The gray area we get into is someone could consciously object to killing a peasant 2,000 miles from our shores because our government is unhappy with that governments idealogy but would not object to killing an enemy in the Port of New York. Look at this from another prospective. A number of years ago Chicago had a horrific month where four innocent kids were murdered in random shootings on their way to or from school. If China decided that those kid's human rights were being violated and decided to commit Troops to Illinois to make sure those kids made it safely to school what would our reaction been? What if Russia decided our elections were wrong because the people in Florida could either mark a ballot properly or couldn't count a ballot properly and came in to create a new government and supervise an orderly transition of power? We have half the world begging for us to help them and the other half thinking we are ass holes for doing it. We think we have a monopoly on morals and intelligence. When all the murders stop in the US, I'll start worrying about the murders in Iraq.

fatal flaw in our quoting system.

And wealth and influence provides options for others. Ultimately the government decides if you are a consciencious objector or not. Seems like an unfair system to me. PA, I'm certain your close friends are glad to know you would murder them in an instant.

oooo southsider it was my first time and it was good. LMAO

No, I've never had a post deleted on any forum at any time.

If all Bush wanted to do was cheer up and motivate the GIs he didn't need pool reporters along. He risked the secret getting out for great publicity. As far as trying to keep their son's or themselves alive, this isn't anything new. We've had people trying to stay out of combat in every war. Vietnam, and to a lesser extent Korea, increase those because the causes didn't seem good enough to die for. Our military is made up primarily of poor, rural minorities. In 20 years, unless we start electing poor, rural minorities to office, we won't have candidates with any military service. The United States has killed more people in war than any other civilization in history. We are a lean mean killin' machine.

I reserve the right to like and dislike anyone, at anytime, regardless of the color of their skin or what God they worship or how thyey like to have sex. That also means I can dislike someone and have it not be because they are Polish, Black, White, or whatever. I really dislike being forced into lying about liking anyone different than me.

$1000 cash and you didn't look up escorts in the yellow pages?

BTW Steve, nice take down, was that you in the sig?

PA may be gay. However, since his dating habits involve years of a platonic relationship before making the big move of a kiss, we may never know. I think his overt following of Southsider indicates his normal dating habits. The public tag or outing of Southsider may be PA's desire to test the waters a bit before announcing his true orientation. I noticed he has dropped the picture of the assumed girlfriends from his avatar. Again more indication that he is planning on kissing a boy sometime in 2006 or 2007.

Too bad the framers of the constitution didn't think of that one. We could start a war every once in a while to assure enough future presidents. Also remember our military isn't exactly over flowing with children born with a silver spoon in the mouths. When we had a draft, a lot of parents tried to keep their kids out of the service. Some families had the wealth, contacts, and influence to make it happen. Those parents were both Dems and Reps. There are also individuals that accepted the call to arms and they too, come from both sides of the isle. The all volunteer military isn't exactly swimming in wealth and priveledge. LHow many of those soldiers you see look like they skipped Harvard to sleep in the sand?

Now you'll tell me that Beat It doesn't refer to dancing or leaving

Anyone care to estimate the cost for his campaign trip? How much money was spent that could have gone to help the elderly, the poor, the sick?

That's why they call it the big leagues. 1 or 2 hits a week makes the difference between a long career and selling cars and signing about your glory days in AAA.

I'm glad he's back. I like young outfielders and old catchers.

Cub fans will adopt it as a badge of honor. You'll here things like we are TRUE fans because the team screws us and we are still loyal. Dumb asses

LMAO T'Sox

Steff, whip me, whip me I've been naughty and want to be nice for Christmas . . .

Steff doesn't suffer from premature e-post-ulation. Nice job

When we stop laughing at out problems we become even more screwed up. God gave us the ability to laugh for a reason. Just remember when it is your turn to be in the barrel to take it and not whine. I always have said that I wan't to die in a very funny way. I would love to have everyone walk up to my casket and have a bad case of the giggles recalling the stupid thing I had done to be the guest of honor.

It took PA this long to figure it out. Damn he's slow at everything.

This is probably not good. While the site was down I . . . achieved the highest grade in the class on a Developmental Psy test scored a 100% on a Music Appreciation final wrote an English lit paper (worth 25% of final grade) which scored a 98/100 finished up a Psy research paper which earned me 18/20 extra credit points I'm certain this is all a coincedence The rest of my finals are in two weeks, could y'all f*** up the site again?

BegOod it depends if this was a 4 game suspension or a 4 day disabled list sort of thing.
