Don't be a bunch of sheep, people.

Possibly for you but not for many of us. Many of us remember that our freedom was not given to us, it was earned on the battlefields around the world. Had it not been for a lot of men and women DYING FOR YOU and your family we very well might be speaking German right now.
As for your comment on sheep, John, try not being such a dick in the future. At least you made this comment after Memorial Day. Suppose on Christmas you and your friends are going to start posting against God?
As Carnutzz said "I blame your parents for this having to be explained to you by strangers over the Internet. Shame on you, and them." Some of us evidently had an upbringing where our parents taught us respect for others and it seems that others were not that lucky... Guess which group you are in ?
