Why have you begun taking screen shots of articles instead of copy & paste?

[rcecale]

"99.99% of our military members are upholding our standards every single day in a difficult and dangerous situation," he said. Where they don't, he added, there will be consequences.

And that .01% that step over the line are dealt with. Sounds like "widespread" to me.

Don't you have something better to do..like playing in traffic, or licking razor blades or something?????

I'm curious about this too. Its kind of weird behavior.

[dtw]

Do you have anal leakage as well? Because the ***** coming out of your mouth is obviously unchecked. Inquiring minds, etc.

If it saves one American solders life...

Red is for Positive, black is for negative. Turn the amps and volts up.

The only explanation I can think of is that it keeps the post from being searchable... But... why would anyone do that?

[rcecale]

I'm sure I've annoyed my share of people on this BBS with my own points of view and/or political leanings. But I sure hope I never get so bad as to warrant this type of reception from you guys...no matter which side of the aisle you call home!

cc, you got issues, my man, some serious issues!

PS, Bryan, aren't you on the verge of purchasing your first house? How's that going? When are you closing? How soon before you need to paint it?

Randy, I closed on the house May 2nd, and am still in the process of moving. I'll be driving to Lincoln tomorrow morning to meet Sears with the washer & dryer, to mow, and test the in-ground sprinklers. The house is a done deal... now i'm gathering all of the crap. I'm going to order a bed in mid-june... I'm going with the Select Comfort. Since there's an island in the kitchen, i'll probably just use that with some nice stools until I buy a real kitchen table. There's an Oak Express store in Lincoln that had some really nice tables that I thought would look good. I might just buy the bar stools first, then get the table & chairs. Since it's just me, there's not much of a need to rush it. Even after all of that, I need to get living room furniture, a TV, and whatever other misc. items make up a house. i've been keeping a list and writing down random things I'll need as I think of them... I'm at a full page and a half right now. What a kick in the head.

This summer I'll be helping to put vinyl siding on my grandparents' house, and I'll be helping to paint my parents' house. Mine has metal siding, I believe, so I should be okay there

The first project I want to do is to rip out the linoleum (sp?) and put in some slate or other nice tile. That will be fun.

There wont be much getting done in June at all, though... I'll be in San Francisco from the 3rd to the 10th, then I fly to Madison and drive back to Nebraska, where I'm going to be helping to teach video production to a highschool summer class.

So, until then, I'm still living at the lake, driving my family nuts

Farking hilarious. The best way to save the lives of American soldiers is to stop using them to invade and occupy other countries.

[creaturecat]

here are some more details for you "torture lovers"



What part of "excerpt" do you not understand?

BTW the link IS posted - are you people blind?

Rcescale - please explain the "issues" comment. Perhaps you take issue with the truth.

DTW - facts from American military report - the "****" is from your glorious military. - perhaps you did not check the link.

No but really - what's with the screenshots.

As a military guy, I would have gladly given my life to protect the life of an innocent person back home. Would still today, even though I'm retired. I'm sure none of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines want to die but you can bet that at least the overwhelming majority of them are prepared to.

Stuart, don't feel bad that you can't understand that. Not everyone can. Just be grateful that there are those that do feel that way. Those who would rather take this "fight" to them, rather than conduct it on OUR soil, with OUR innocents falling victim to it.

cc, where do I begin to discuss your issues? I don't have enough time in the day to fix you, so I'm not even going to try. I find your selective postings and the anti-military slant you so proudly display quite disgusting.

Would I ever attempt to shut you down? Hell no. Even though you're not American, you live in the free world that we help protect, so feel fre to spew all the venomous anti-American oral diahrea you wish. It's apparent to me that there are others who see it for what it truly is.

Randy

[rcecale]

This is rich!!!!


Think maybe you could come up with something a bit more current????

Randy

[fintstone]

pathetic attempt...huh?

Oh! Oh! I have another guess. He's trying to fill up the image area on the server. He's hoping that if we can't post any more gratuitous pictures of our cars, he might be taken seriously!

Sort of like a digital hostage situation.

How do you suppose these folks feel about the treatment terrorists are receiving?




How quickly we forget.

The Geneva Convention is a useless concept when dealing with these zealots. Like it or not, folks, this is Biblical, and it will continue until we stop it by force.

I really dont care what suicidal urges you or stupid mates struggle to keep in check. Get help. You are so busy standing there wrapped in the stars and bars, hand on heart professing your willingness to kill other people in far off places in the name of (your percieved) freedom- you confuse, as so many conservatives so often do, the personal and the political.

You are dead right. But only one tribe is banging on the bible.

Pictured above is a crime committed by fundamental zealot terrorists in New York.

Pictured below is a just act brought about as the result of the righteous use of force by a patriotic military to protect our freedoms.

Another dose of liberty coming right up.
