You can come up with something we can agree on. "It’s just that I still believe that this “war” is, and has been, totally mishandled." If yer gonna fight a war, you might just as well fight the war instead of pussy footing around getting your soldiers killed. I didn't bring up the Second Amendment. Who did? Who said yer not a "patriot"? Not me. You just seem to not understand that facts over rule wishes and wants. See roland? You can come up with something we can agree on.

I never brought up the 2nd amendment issue, and, by the way, I do believe in arming myself. It's just that I still believe that this "war" is, and has been, totally mishandled. Some of these posters insist that if you don't agree with their ideas, that you are not a "patriot". That argument, to me, is over-used, and simply illogical. The majority of posters are here for the "discourse", and I'm sure that they appreciate having a venue for that. It's those others (that continue to attack, insult and belittle those who don't express the same ideas) that misuse this forum, and it's wrong. It's not the "American way", and I think that it diminishes any prospect of sharing ideas and, possibly, coming to some sort of middle ground. (I fully expect those posters to continue the attacks here shortly). I am in agreement, Jami. I never brought up the 2nd amendment issue, and, by the way, I do believe in arming myself.

I didn't get a chance to thank you for unlumping me with everyone else. That was very nice of you. Its not paranoia. Can't we all just get along? Some of us believe there is still very serious danger. We want to arm ourselves to protect our families, as well as yours if need be. I don't see why people insist that this is a bad idea. I am not asking you to arm yourself, just don't tell me it wrong that I do. I could be mistaken but doesnt the second amendment say something about that? Paranoia, denial. Tomatoe .... you know what I am sayin. I want peace just as bad as you do. I hate war, I hate losing our Americans. I have just come to accept the fact that others do not feel like that. Conflict over religon, resources, culture will always be... has always been. I will never stop looking for a .... "sensible" solution, but humans are not peaceful by nature. Morning Roland!

Does it bring any poster in particular to mind? "Patriots" complaining about people's right to civil protest seriously sounds like confusion and paranoia to me. Quite a bit of self-righteousness going on with these posts. Read Dennis Herzog’s “View From The Newsroom” dated April 1st. Does it bring any poster in particular to mind?

I have an urge to put a billboard on the house next to yours. "My next door neighbor wants to ban all guns. Their home is not armed. To respect their opinion, I promise not to use my guns to protect them." Sleep well... littlewing, I need your address for either of two reasons, so I can contact your neighbor, or possibly actually move next door to you…

I have an urge to put a billboard on the house next to yours.

“My next door neighbor
wants to ban all guns.

Their home is not armed.

To respect their opinion,
I promise not to use my guns
to protect them.”

Sleep well…

When they behead you because you are a "western infidel" who refuses to convert to Islam, do I have your permission to go to war? Do me a favor and try to find some authentic arabic coverage of the nation.What we will see, my dearm, is children screaming about murdering others, holding guns. You will see thier childrens shows which glamorize selfless acts of terrorism. They are breeding the kids to destroy us, and thats just the kids!

Does it refer to a small appendage, or did someone cut off your tree of life and split the stump? Just what in the hell would you know about killing for fun or profit? Just how many generations is it going to take for you "peace types" to realize that your pacifism is what starts wars, and your activism only prolongs the killing? The best defense is a good offense. Now there is some real world wisdom. When was the last time you saw someone go out and pick a fight with the biggest, baddest biker in the bar? Ever heard of a Marine being mugged? If your goal is to change human nature, you would be better off to try genetic engineering. If your goal is to stop the killing, consider this. Win one, and you avoid three. Start thinking for yourself. Try to remember, the meek shall inherit the earth, but only after we are through with it. Don't believe me, look it up. It is listed under rule 7.62 Nato. littlewing,

This discussion is not about abortion. “The protest was a success”? Define success. Is it defined as a bunch of looney whiners standing around moaning, then it was a wailing success. Mabey? Perhaps you meant ‘maybe’? WERE RIGHT? ‘Were’ is past tense. “We’re” is the contraction for we are. We really didn’t expect you to come out and admit to being wrong. “this whole war was basically started because sadam wanted to change the currency for oil from dollars to euros.” Now that’s a new one. Interesting, five years before anybody brings up the realities of the situation. And all this time we thought it was “blood for oil”, or any of a dozen other cutesy little labels. “Get all the macho brainwash out of your heads”. Excellent advice, follow it. What, pray tell, is a “usless war”? Still in college are you? It shows. But, since you are in school studying, what are you studying for? You obviously hold all the wisdom of the ages, and know everything there is to know. “People who like killing for money”? This discussion is not about abortion.
