I have a star on my house, but it's just because I forgot to take down my Christmas decorations last year.

I've lived in several states but haven't seen stars on any of the houses. Here in Texas where limestone is mined everyone who can afford one has a limestone star somewhere, be in at a peak or embedded in the sidewalk or alongside the door. Especially on the coveted limestone homes. Of course a star represents Texas, period, the lone star state.

My house is brick, splashed with grey and white. I suppose, from a short distance it resembles marble -- more Tuscany than Texan. I've tried a rusty red metal one, black iron, but they look a little dumb. Think I'll get one with the circle around, just to attach lights to at Xmas.

@JTT,
You got lots of replies. At last count, I think that's four "thumbs down." Plus another one for this post I'm replying to. I haven't thumbed you down, though, nor put you on "ignore". . .yet. You're actually too screamingly funny to be ignored entirely.

@farmerman,
You're one of the ones just sittin' there, Farmer. Why not start with some honesty; those certainly are NOT warts. Those are war crimes, mass murder, terrorism.

@Merry Andrew,
Yeah, those thumbs down probably come from folks from the land of the brave, eh, Merry?

You haven't replied. You're doing what you usually do, run off on some inane tangent.

@Merry Andrew,
I see that you can't come with anything honorable, Merry. Not at all surprising, ... not the least bit surprising.

A little reminder.

...

So you pride yourselves on being "a good people", a "compassionate" "sharing caring hugging" people -- nothing but Perfidy.

For 20 years, I witnessed my country, the land of my father, my mother, my ancestors, disintegrate before my very eyes...20 ******* years. 20 ******* years.

Twenty years of people -- first withering, wilting away, like flowers never allowed to see the light, never allowed to turn their faces to the sun, then from fading into shadows, faltering into a colorless background...bombed, massacred, slaughtered into a nothingness...the same nothingness that inhabits you daily...the same nothingness that makes you rush to your shrink, the same nothingness that you feed with your junk, the same nothingness that you fill with your consumer products...the same nothingness of your void, of the pit, the deep pit that you all live in, and I throw up some more, from the pits of my belly....

So you "sacrificed" for us, so you liberated us from "tyranny", so you "lived up to your responsibilities" --- like you did in Falluja, Haditha, Mahmoudiya, Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Ramadi...ยจ"kill the motherfuckers" you shouted...and your wives masturbated to your love letters, or shed a few tears while waving that infamous flag...the flag of a degenerate, decaying country that has offered nothing but murder, carnage and mayhem...

You liberated us from "dictatorship" with 5 times the size of a Hiroshima and a Nagasaki...you liberated us until there was no space left in our morgues, and 7 and half years later, we still search for the dead...you liberated us until our streets turned into pools of blood, and mosques became torture dungeons where those hajjis were having their eyes plucked out and their flesh drilled, you liberated us so we can be abducted, raped and murdered for a 1000$ or for wearing lipstick...you liberated us so our bodies can float on the Tigris and Euphrates, mutilated unrecognizable...you liberated us alright...stuffing us in prisons cells, covering us with your piss and excrements, or handing us to your mercenaries and your pimps and whores in turbans, while you fucked the prostitutes specially brought to you in your Green Fortress... and while the rest of us lived in walled ghettos that you constructed for us...

@JTT,
Indirectly - your quote has swear words in it - this is a PG thread.

@Linkat,
I'm sure you can forgive Layla for expressing a wee bit of anger over what the USA has done to her, her people and her country over the last 20 years, can't you, Linkat?

Don't focus on the swear words, they're only words; focus on the grief, the deaths, the pain, the misery, the humiliation, the [you fill in the blank].

@squinney,
Thanks - I don't know what happened? Just a light happy talk of a star on the house and suddenly some chick Layla is depressing me.

She didn't ease your worried mind?

@Ticomaya,
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song.
I'm worried now
But I won't be worried long.
