Let me quote the same Canadian hero that penned ‘Ohio’:

“You see a faggot behind the fuckin’ cash register, you don’t want him to handle your potatoes.” – Neil Young, discussing AIDS

Canada is not America Junior, visit us, and you’ll see

Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming
We’re finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
- From ‘Ohio’ by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

YOU: Ugh. Jose, maybe one day when you stop putting words in my mouth, we could actually have a conversation with some real meaning to it.

ME: putting words in your mouth? lol. where? when? what are you talking about? Sounds like a cop out to me, not that you’ve said anything of substance aside form pushing the tired old propaganda that we see everywhere else.

YOU: I don’t know what sort of training you went through in the military, but most units nowadays will not use overly aggressive tactics against large crowds unless they’re utterly forced to. We’ve learned that the hard way from lessons in Iraq and Afghanistan.

ME: If these folks are sooooooooooo well trained then why are the civilian casualty rates so high? And remember those lessons go out the window when emotion blinds and binds rational thought. oh and by lessons…are you referring to the same ones they learned in Vietnam? the same one we watched the Russians learn in Afghanistan? spare me.

YOU: I didn’t say it’s out of the question that service members would harm American citizens. My point is that a lot of service members aren’t as simple-minded as a lot of people, yourself included, think. You seem to hold people in the military in low regards in terms of self control and taking responsibility for their own actions.

ME: Again you are accusing me of generalizing and i addressed that in my previous posts which i suspect you aren’t really reading…just skimming over.

YOU: If I remember correctly, you never even deployed to a combat zone, yet you never seem to pass an opportunity on this site to let other people know what goes on in Iraq and Afghanistan.

ME: please feel free to find examples of me spouting off about combat in afghanistan or iraq. and if i do make a comment i come from an informed position and not from ignoramus land like some folks on here. But if it makes you feel better to point out that i have never been in combat and thus should not opine then so be it. Im ok with not having been in a combat zone. And its only idiots that would follow unlawful and unconstitutional orders to fight a war against an enemy that posed absolutely no threat to us…Iraq. Afghanistan is the only place they should really be and look how they have fucked it up there. And you dont need to be “in the shit” to see that.

YOU: I didn’t address the example of the cops violating rights because that has jackshit to do with what I’m talking about.

ME: what?!?! are you kidding me? it has “jackshit”
(what ever that is) to do with what WE are talking about? It has everything to do with what WE are talking about. Its an example of Americans in a position of authority hurting other Americans whom are only enacting their rights to free speech and assembly. More often then not in a non violent manner cause we all know that its only a minute number of individuals that cause property damage and act violently.

YOU: I’m simply explaining how this does make some sense from a strategic standpoint, and letting you know that your massive, sweeping generalizations of American service members are pretty off the mark. If you want to hijack this thread so you can complain about bad cops, Republicans, and cream cheese, then find somebody else to do it with. If you’d like to discuss the pros and cons of having an active duty BCT ready to respond to some sort of national crisis, then please continue. Otherwise, I’m done.

ME: my man you truly are delusional and i think you have to go back and reread your own posts. Again i will point out that i am not making “sweeping generalizations” as you so eloquently put it. I have not high jacked any thread and remember it was YOU who elicited this discussion when YOU responded to my comment…directly.
as far as complaining about cops, Republicans, and, LOL, cream cheese…well they all play a part in this discussion.

ME AGAIN: you my friend need to come out of the cave and into the light. As far as maybe having a discussion…i can only laugh at your juvenile attempt to belittle me and the things i have said.
Most of which, aside from the subjective comments i have made, are all factual and actual, not just my opinion. which by the way i have every right to have just as much as you have the right to yours.
AND AGAIN: Have at it cowboy, cause now i am done. enjoy rambling to yourself and your captive audience.
PEACE….lol!

Anyho, if you want to give legitimacy to a website full of people who have serious arguments of which well-known person is a gray alien or reptilian, or picking out Martain buildings from NASA photos, or how the world will end in 2012 because some failed human sacrificing near neolithic civilization says so, go right ahead. Me, I’m just going to laugh at them (just like I do at Caio).
