Even at a young age kids should know that there are bigger things out there and the world doesn't revolve around them I don't care how much money you have.

How can you bash me for excercising free speech by calling me(and others) communist. I partied in college(too much) just like anyone else I would never take that away from anyone. Everyone doesn't have to pick up a gun or kill someone to be free. You're excercising free speech right now.
Oh no, I agree, shes a spoiled, dumb bitch. You have every right to call her so. Its just not a very capitalist point of veiw to express a strong social concious. But I'm not a full out free market, laissez-faire, hardcore, destroy the welfare state, get ahead by all cuthroat means possible, capitalist.

I hate this ---- that tries to make people feel guilty for not enlisting in the service. If the armed forces aren't for you, they aren't for you.

But they are for me.

---- it's not even that easy to enlist anymore, I got rejected from the marines and the army both because of some really stupid ---- i did when i was 16, tired to enlist at 18 and 21 yet because of a mistake a made when i was a stupid youngster i was rejected. I pasted every test put infront of me with flying colors, but because of my mistakes i was rejected for "MORAL REASONS"

I tried enlisting a while ago, since I had no idea what I wanted to do... because of medical reasons they rejected me.. when they call I tell them that they rejected me so I won't try again.. then I list my medical conditions and they say "sorry to bother you" and hang up.

Paul, quit making stupid comments. When has any sitting President ever went to war? This didn't seem to be a Bush vs. no Bush thread, but if you must.......

There's no law that say you have to have had signed up for the military to support thier work. I was in the Air Force for a whole 8 months. Just long enough to tell an officer to get bent and that this ---- sucked. It wasn't for me, but I surely don't forget that while I'm living my life the way I want, someone else is putting thiers on hold (or ending it) in order to allow me to continue to do what I want.

Don't feel guilty about spending money during a war. Don't feel like you can't give support for something you didn't sign up for yourself. Don't base your support on wether you're against the war, or where we aren't fighting, or what the immigration policy is. Base your support on the fact that you sleep at night knowing sand nigs aren't going to bomb your house. There's a reason for it, and it's because people volunteer to have your back in a sand nig attack. "Now say good night" (Avatar quotes in full affect) :1

I think you misunderstood me a little bit. People can give all the support to it they want, that's cool, but what the OP said kind of leads me to believe that the guy that wrote it wants everybody to enlist. As far as everybody enlisting, not everybody is going to be compatible with working for the armed forces, such as yourself.

I, however, felt it was a pretty good match for me and volunteered to have America's back in case of a sand nig or slant eye attack.

This is exactly this reason that I have dropped out of one of the better engineering schools in the country and have enlisted into the Marine Corps. I havn't even gone to basic yet and I still feel better about what I am doing with my life now then I ever have before.

It was a task getting her truck and motorcycle running with dead batteries, but she got to ride, which is what she would normally be doing this time of year. I sent her and her boyfriend out to Olive Garden on Stealthmode Performance for taking care of the sand nigs for us. You can't repay people to take bullets for you, but you can try.
I took pictures of her on her motorcycle so she could show all her friends in the desert.


You keep referring to "her" in your story, yet you post a picture of a young black boy on a motorcycle. I call BS.
