Controversal Cartoon

[Fly Navy]

Guys, like doc said, the kid is in high school, and from California to boot. He's obviously a smart kid, look at the way he writes. He's just misguided and confused, which is not uncommon at all in today's school systems and with the liberal media. I too was liberal in early high school, and I made a huge shift when I "grew up" and realized certain things. Hopefully it'll happen to him too. He has a right to believe what he wants, even though it certainly does contradict certain military principles.

Akamifeldman, you can't tell people here that they "suck at life", even if you do feel they are outright slamming you. One day you may do it to a US Navy Captain or US Marine Corps Colonel and he/she is going to remember your name. You answered my challenge to justify the war in Kosovo, and you answered EXACTLY what I wanted you to. Textbook left-wing answer. Sit back and think about some of the stuff that has been said here. Are your ideas really your own? Or are you a product of what the media and the socialist school system has made you?

Ok time to dive in.

Everyone has their own political opinions, and for the most part, are unchangeable (my friend in San Diego demonstrated this to me, he is all over the place, i dont know what he is).


akamifeldman this post of yours is hypocritical and unfounded.

akamifeldman:

That's it, I've been baited, I don't get berated by some dumbass fundamentalist Christian:

Your utter lack of thought/consideration towards other viewpoints only reinforces your own and further locks you into ignorance.

You cannot make decisions based solely on ideology.

Your ideology demonstrates a severe lack of understanding of the natural world.

Your lack of understanding and lack of a desire for understanding indicates the absence of basic human essence.

You Suck At Life.

ok lets pick this thing apart.

That's it, I've been baited, I don't get berated by some dumbass fundamentalist Christian:

You say that he is a dumbass, but do you know his IQ, what he does in life, or his experiences. I think not.

Your utter lack of thought/consideration towards other viewpoints only reinforces your own and further locks you into ignorance.

You practice what you preach AK. Telling Doc to "eat ****" demonstrates that you have a lack of thought/consideration towards others view points. No one has to be tolerant of everything. You clearly demonstrate that you are not tolerant of everything.

You cannot make decisions based solely on ideology.

Sure you can, everyone is allowed their own opinions, and Doc didnt say he made all his decisions based on ideology.

Your lack of understanding and lack of a desire for understanding indicates the absence of basic human essence.

Wow! This is what really gets me. You imply that Doc is not human for you say he lacks basic human essence.
Just because Doc has a differnt viewpoint than you does not mean that he has a lack of understanding or does not desire to understand more than he already knows. I say Doc is very human because he is able to formulate his own opinion.

You Suck At Life

No one sucks at life. Life is not a lollipop, it is impossible to suck at it.


AK I say that you have a large case of "Open mouth insert Foot"

Malicious personal attacks will not be tolerated. Disagreeing is perfectly normal, even heated debate is tolerated. If things cannot clean up quickly, I will do what I can to get this thread locked/deleted. Everyone's been warned.

I know AK takes the minority position in regards to his beliefs and not too many individuals here will step in to 'break it up'. We are all professionals here, or at least strive to be. Once civility was abandoned it seems that everything has gone downhill.

Arguing on the internet and trying to change someone's point of view is, well, highly improbable. Let me leave everyone with this little bit of politically incorrect inspiration.

I just wanted to clear something up for snizo. I agree that people have a right to say what they feel (and I'm probably going to sound like a hypocrite here). But, do you condone when groups like the KKK and the neo-nazi groups out there spread their messages of hate and promote the killing of anyone not like them? I realize that is getting off the topic at hand but that is my justification for my statement. It was a cartoon making a stab at the administrations exit plan using the bodies of dead troops to make it *funny*. It wasn't.

Now, aka seemed to like to mention the use of diplomatic negotiations to reslove the situation. Dude, people like Saddam only recognize force. You can talk all you want but to get him to comply with what you want him to requires said force. Just some brain candy for you to chew on for a bit.

AK-
one of the reasons that you have so many problems on the board is maturity. If the argument isn't going your way you can't tell someone to eat S***. You can't called the Commander and Chief names and expect people to be ok with that. You call people right wing X-tians and expect them to be fine with that and then your surprised when they are upset. As to your Challenge, people find your views upsetting for 2 main reasons, at least for me.

1) These guys are fighting for their country, and doing it, have been there, etc and you tell them their opinions doesn't matter, or is stupid.
2) your in high school. While this shouldn't mean your opinions mean any less, you have to understand that experience is very important. I don't think the same way I did in high school, thank god, and you won't either.

As to the whole religion thing, I am Jewish too, support Bush, and am Pro-Military. So keep those things in mind, and you might to all right.

But what do I know, I'm just waiting for that phone call to get my OCS date!!

Ok, I havent been following this thread....its in the Marine section, whew!! But I just read it. Guys guys guys, what is accomplished by all this. All it is is flaming. Hey, me and my views are better than you and yours. Big deal. If everyone could argue without making personal attacks, it would be fine. But to tell someone to eat S*** just because you dont like what they say, what does that accomplish? It makes you look like a fool.

I agree with ENSsquid about the retard thing. haha.

If you want to attack people, do it in an email, PM or AIM or something, not here.
