Thank you very much, Im gald you (we), could keep this potentialy volitile subject under control. It shows that polite, respectful dissent is a reality and shame on those people who angrily or violently "put down" those who do not feel as they do. Insightful indeed.
On one particular trip back from dumping a tarp full of leaves I noticed a small soiled American flag under a bunch of leaves. In my coworker's presence I reached down to pick it up out of respect for her service as well as for the service currently being undertaken by her brother in Iraq. As I reached down to pick it up my cowor
love the rant, 100% correct
Faith, like love, is blind and it is a gift. St.Paul 1 Cor 11:2 " Now I praise you brethren, that in all things you are midful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you." "keep my ordinances", as a represetnive of the Church he is saying to follow what the Church pro
I just hope they dont get overconfident and arrogent like the NYY. But after the interviews last night, post game, it dosnt look like that will happen. Win tonight, awsome, set the record for consecutive post season wins. Loose tonight and we come home to fenway, win win.
lol, no way anti-sox!!! This year we are a record making and breaking team, we beat the yankess for the pennant at their home, that was the world series to me. This is just icing on the cake, no icing the cake still remains, and how sweet is it for us Red Sox fans!! Next team to overcome thier history, I call Cubs, ( im not a fan, my 2nd team is the A's) but the Cubs are due.
Mr. Guiness: I was considering joining the military, and I asked a priest how I deal with Jesus's teaching of non-violence and God's command "thou shall not kill." He said that the U.S. military is not inherently violent. In fact, he said an act of self-defense is not only not an act of violence, it is an act of non-violence.We first went to Vietnam in order to protect our allies and stop the spread of Communism (and when I say Communism, I mean
I understand that you disagree, as do I. Thats alright, I am aware that there are more than one side to a story, but there are a few situations where its hard for me to objectivly view an issue. My family, my faith, my service. As for it being a protest against civillian mismanagement, i dont know. civillans dont award you medals, civillans dont commit war crimes and so on. And, given the time period, wether or not there even was real misman
Lee1776: Absolutly correct
Thanks drimmler. I, of course, agree with ya on this. Yeah, I guess it sounded like it was the only way it was delivered. Sorry, I guess my point was that Army Times did it's best to poll as many soldiers as it could
Damn right!! Im a huge Red Sox fan. What a history making and breaking team we have this year! Set the record in MLB for forcing a game 7 in a 3-0 deficet and then winning! Broke the record for longest game in Division Championship game. And now this, Set the record for the higest scoring game in WS history. Im just about speachless and cant wait to see Schilling pitch tomorrow.
Actually every unit recieves many complimentary copies of Army Times. Yes the poll was conducted primarily through email but snail mail entries were also added. And no, the inital forces in Iraq had, in the beginning, little acces to the internet. But when I left there were "internet ca
Ok thank you for clearing that up for me It's a pretty interesting site, I am going to check it out further and see if it has a rating on St. Peter's net. If not, i'll let my friends there know about it and they will check it out. Thanks again
I dont think GW is a great guy at all. Im absolutly not brainwashed, I speak my opinion only from experiance. If people you know joined ROTC "to pay for collage" then they had their priorites off. Everyone knows that when you join the military you main purpose is war, every thing else, education perks included, is just extra. To serve is to serve. It's sad that so many had to pay for this war with thier lives, but that is the case in all wa

Anyone that has ever seen a fork lift run[and that is just one piece of equiptment in a couple hundred] has never seen one pull up to a gas station to fill up. Why ? because it runs on propane in a portable tank. Well, I used to work for Humpheres Lumber Yard and 17 out of 20 of our forklifts were gas p
, im sure thats not what the majority of Kerry, or Bush supporters look like but damn. hehe. Just goes to show you what a diverse nation we have here
Im sorry Mr Guinness, I looked at the link in "other sites i manage" namely the Catholic Student Center. My question, and im sorry it is "dumb" but are you just the site manager or the Priest?
Nothin to add on that point very "insightful" thank you.
As long as its not in the 3rd trimester that is.
Do you have any idea of the millions of infant lives, murdered in what is supposed to be the safest place, the mothers womb, since Roe vs. Wade Lives that would have been meaningful, productive, perhaps even record breaking? All of those chances for humanity lost now forever. I bet its qute a bit ( huge understatement) more than "back alley deaths" Not in the 3rd trimester? why then in the 2nd or first? When is a baby, a "real" baby? OH yes
What an inticeing article for me. I shouldn't have read it though, I knew it would start a firestorm with the last people I want one with. Catholics. I am a Catholic but unlike you are stevendedalus, I am not for kerry. "Kerry is a Catholic" no he is not, not anymore. He proclaims he is but if he is not willing to stand up for what the Church teaches, disobeys directions from the Church and so on, he is no longer a Catholic. I don't intend to b
To me the simple fact that he publicly threw away his awards is reason enough for members of the armed forces to dislike and absolutly not trust him. A ticked off youthful moment does not negate what he did and he, as was stated, still does not apologize. Im in the Army, I would never vote for kerry for many reason but his anit-war record would be enough, not to mention his shifting votes on the same type of issues. Also I will not vote for Bush, I
Ahh yes, and for those service members returning from OIF. Call them kids. See what response you will get. In fact go check out Lt. General William "Jerry" Boykin the deputy undersectary of defense C Nobodys blog on that issue.
Well well, so you feel that 18-19 or so year old service members are kids. Thats your opinion and you are intitled to it, of course as an active duty army soldier I completly disagree with you. "kids" join the military and grow up. "kids" dont vote. "kids" dont drive. lets not get into the whole dr
