BLAH BLAH BLAB, BS

We have government making the mistake of paying people to go back to college and IMO they should require the money back if they don't complete a whole program because most are sitting in college taking up good space to just qualify for free stuff with no diploma ever in sight.

Eighteen year olds are pretty immature for the most part and if they go into the military they are taught discipline and have to go into weeks of training. Many drop or are kicked out.

Do you think there should be training to drink beer with a completion certificate for all? Not a bad idea.

Al Qaeda is not our problem, and they attack us when they are told too.


Arabs are our Allies. Arabs are Primarily from the house of Saud. The State dept. just approved 60 Billion worth of military hardware to be sold to the Arabs. They don't wish to kill any Jews, in Israel or anywhere else. They love money, and the power of turning sand into Islands, and golf courses, and shopping malls. You should go there sometime. It would open your eyes to the bull crap you've been fed.


He had the freedom (free-doom) to try, it didn't work out in total for him. BTW.. the same dynasty's that control the World Banking cartels, funded Hitler. And you as a tax payer, owe them a crap load of interest.



I'll know when i need to defend myself. Not asking for anyone to do it for me, or to create a world of violence that i'll need to be concerned with it.

The USA is not under attack. If it was, i'd know it. Freedom is a state of being in each person that realizes the beauty of it.
No Nation is in charge of my Freedom. No Nation has a right to put it at risk, or dictate how it is expressed.
I won't address the shadows you see lurking behind everything because you're resistant to light.

But, I will suggest that you don't have to defend yourself right now because others are doing it for you, far enough away that you can sit comfortably here and disparage their efforts instead of hoisting your share and joining them in their defense of your right to be a bigot.

What light? Is this a Good is Bad, and Bad is Good scenario?
If so, 11 yrs. of War is about as dark as you can get. So the light that i'm sharing with you, is one of peace and long suffering.

You can suggest all you like, it doesn't make it so.

Perhaps when one realises that there are many ten years olds who actually committ murder and I don't see allowing them to drink beer is a issue really. Whether you believe soldiers are paid murders or you thnk that veternas are to be watched as possible terrorist by police has Obama officals have said ;The beer issue is quite different as to drinking age.

There's no particular reason to mention Nazis in this (and why put Nazis in capitals). It has been an excuse used by soldiers throughout history.

In 1474, in the trial of Peter von Hagenbach by an ad hoc tribunal of the Holy Roman Empire, there was the first known “international†recognition of commanders’ obligations to act lawfully. Hagenbach offered the defense that he was just following orders.

Has the Culture set itself up with an endless supply of young people to die for the corporate banking cartels?

These kids can't even buy a BEER, and they are trained to murder people they know nothing about. Or at a minimum provide support so their peers can murder.

Is the WAR Culture of America destroying families that would be, that could be, and sending home a bunch of PTSD morally bankrupt meat sacks that just wish they could have their youth back?

I think it may be a good idea to start protesting the recruiting stations around the country, and push back against the Military Industrial Machine.

I wish i could provide a job to all those young people that look to the War Machine as their only option.

You LOST me at MURDER...

To be honest, the age for all of that stuff should be 21. Most 18 year olds are seniors in high school and still live with mom and dad. That's hardly an "adult" in my book.

I was hoping this was a thread advocating the reduction of the drinking age to 18.

Unfortunately, it was a non sense thread.........
