Relax buddy. Perhaps you haven't noticed that nobody is forcing you to do anything with regards to this. No need to tell anybody anything except a polite "no thank you". If you knew how hard they (recruiters) work for their modest wages, you would gladly offer them the respect of some civility. |

Re: Seattle high school seeks military recruiter ban
Sadly, this is an accurate portrayal of the situation

Re: Seattle high school seeks military recruiter ban
There isnt enough money to buy my soul. I will not kill another human being. I will not educate myself on how to kill another human being. My God didnt choose political boundries. I will go to the grave with my student loans and go to heaven with a clean heart.
I think it is terrible that the government/military will take children and give them the power of decision over a future they know nothing about. Experientially void, they are shown a carrot and sign themselves up for the next bloodbath. Now the neo-cons are pushing women onto the front lines...we shall see what happens next. e

And the alternative? I suppose you think everything would be peaceful and hunky-dory if we had no military service? Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinions. By the way, most people in the military want nothing more than to NOT have to use their training for real, but to think there is no need for a military given the harsh reality of human nature is to be naive. Plenty of women are ASKING to be on the front line, and the history of that movement has anything but conservative beginnings. |

It would be considerably more peaceful *IF* the Armed Forces didn't fly across the globe to wage wars of aggression against two third world countries. Duh. Quote:
Military power is a given, I don't think anyone here is arguing that. What people are disputing is the way in which it is used. There is a huge difference between defending yourself and going half way around the globe and slaughtering a thousands of civillians. Quote:

There seems to be an inate contradiction here. If people sign up for the military, surely they do so cognisant of the chance that they could be deployed to fight ? It seems clearcut to me - if you sign up, you're putting yourself in danger of being deployed in to a battlezone. If you don't enlist, the chances are that you won't find yourself in a war zone. Unless someone attacks me personally, I would have no wish to get in to a fight/battle with anyone - like Ali said "I've no argument with the Vietnamese, they didn't do me any harm". |

This and some of the other posts about dying for Halliburton, etc. are just plain wrong. As far as wars go, this one has been a cake walk. I wish there was no religious fanatics that wanted all non-muslim people dead. I wish there weren't dictators who torture, kill, and gas their own people. I wish there weren't people who find life so worthless that they would blow themselves up to kill innocent families. I wish there weren't people who find joy in kidnapping and beheading people. I wish the world could be like one big Coke commercial where everyone holds hands in peace and sings songs, but the world is not like that. There is no valid reason why democracies are hated by these people because these people are not rational. There is nothing anyone could say or do that would appease these dangerous whackos. It is time for some people to wake up and realize the world has some evil people in it that must be stopped.

So using your logic, all those Iraqi's murdered under Saddam's orders over the last decade were dying for Total Fina Elf and Oil. |

And that is about as far as I can agree with you... Quote:
Do you have proof that such people exist, or are you just parroting bigotted retards like Ann Coulter ? Quote:
If you are referring to Saddam, according to the CIA it wasn't him who gassed the Kurds...  Quote:
That is the rather naive PR spread about by the Whitehouse. The folks actually committing those acts see it quite differently. Quote:
Again, I suspect the folks who do that stuff see it quite differently, but that's your funeral. Quote:
God forbid, I would take John & Yoko's Love-In over that any day. Quote:
If you can't find a rational explaination for them to hate Democracies then you should question the validity of your belief that they hate Democracies. The rational explaination is that you don't understand those people at all, therefore your belief that they hate Democracies is wrong. Quote:
Indeed, we do seem to be struggling to get through to the folks on this message board who advocate killing innocent people in third world countries by the thousand. Quote:
Agreed : Which is why I am wasting time trying to get dangerous whackos on this message board to see the flaws in their thinking. |
