let's don't fight girls... then the terrorists have won.
Your hatefulness has overthrown what little reason you have ever displayed here, Stevepax. I have been opposed to the Shrub's dirty little war since long before it was launched, and the record here proves that. In now way does that fact alter my ability to recognize the nature and the role of a volunteer army in a democratic republic. Our military cannot reasonably function if each soldiers feels free to question their orders. You know damned little about the military if you thing that such questioning were either easy or justified. Military organizations only function properly if the members thereof follow their orders and depend upon their civilian overseers to make the right decisions. If they do so, then the onus of injustice and venality fall upon those who have sent them to war.
You have made an indefensible remark when you say that you refuse to mourn those who are lost, refuse to mourn for their families. Ultimately, though, you are insignificant in all of this, but your attitude is not. For so long as idiocy such as that is peddled, your point of view is an effective standing slur on reasonable citizens who oppose the injustice of this war and the venality of those who engineered it for their narrow and self-serving agenda.
Although our opposition to this war may be coincident, in no way do i ever wished to associated with your hysterical and unreasonable extremism. Your attitude disgusts me, and is a blot upon any claim you may make to understanding and intelligence. Have the courtesy to address no more remarks to me.

You mean yo tell they haven't??
My Hatefulness? That's hilarious! You better check out some of the other posters for that quality.
Setenta, I could care less what your thoughts of me are. I have had it with an immoral people who will not stand up for what is right. I don't care if you think my remarks are indefensible, because I think this war and it's support is indefensible. I'm tired of this support the troops crap which translates to support the war or else crap.
You call me an extremist, that's fricking laughable. It's the extremists who support this war in any way. I'm through supporting this war, IN ANY WAY!!
One thing that you said IS right, the troops are volunteers ... they can unvolunteer!!
Sheer ignorant idiocy. Once again, have the courtesy not to address your idiotic rants to me.
That's not a choice you have. I see you tell people off all the time. You're not exactly Emily Post. You remind me of Lord Vaako in Riddick!
Your limited view of the world based upon your narrow reading and your boneheaded opinions is a matter of indifference to me. Any pathetica attempt to compare me to a fictional character is equally meaningless.
You have spewed hateful idiocy, and i intend to keep repeating that fact for as long as you continue to address me. You have, in your hysterical hatred, displayed a profound ignorance of how the world works.
Then you are as much, or more of an idiot than you accuse me of being. I can't help it you support this war. The hate comes from you, who wishes the killing to continue. Your blind support of people who have no moral code is indeed the hateful and despicable postion between the two of us. I at least am not willing to justify the continued murder by saying there are no choices. There is always a choice, you just have to be brave enough to make it.
I do not support this war, and never have. For as long as you continue to address posts to me, i will point out that your expressed opinions are founded in hysteria and hate, and conditioned by a profound ignorance.
The hysteria comes from you who thinks that your way is the only way, and anything else is idiocy and ignorance as you like to call it. You, who will obey no matter what the cost. Talk about profound ignorance. My masters have told me to obey, therefore, I obey. Oh yea, that's truly enlightened Setenta. Very bright indeed!
For as long as you continue to address posts to me, i will point out that your expressed opinions are founded in hysteria and hate, and conditioned by a profound ignorance.
Ah yes, Lord Vaako, calling everyone idiots and hateful. You're an equal opportunity elitist aren't you. You're smarter than everyone apparently. Whatta hoot! I'll be sure to treat you with the same respect you treat everyone else ... Emily!
For as long as you continue to address posts to me, i will point out that your expressed opinions are founded in hysteria and hate, and conditioned by a profound ignorance.
That's fine Emily, You may have the last word. I will let you.
While you continue your tantrum: For as long as you continue to address posts to me, i will point out that your expressed opinions are founded in hysteria and hate, and conditioned by a profound ignorance.

Other readers of this thread must be getting bored at the pissing match because it could go on forever. Good way to kill a thread.
Agreeing to disagree might allow the rest of us to get back to the topic of this thread.
Thanks.

The good taste maven.
From Wikipedia (so it may or may not be accurate):
Quote:Emily Post (27 October 1873 - 25 September 1960) was a United States author who promoted proper etiquette.
Post was born as Emily Price in Baltimore, Maryland, and was born into privilege as the only daughter of famous architect Bruce Price and his wife Josephine Lee Price. She was educated at home and attended Miss Graham's finishing school in New York where her family had moved. A popular debutante, she married society banker Edwin Main Post in 1892 and had two sons, Edwin M. Jr. (1893) and Bruce Price (1895). The couple divorced in 1905, due to her husband's infidelity.
At the turn of the century financial circumstances had compelled her to begin to write, and she produced newspaper articles on architecture and interior decoration, stories and serials for such magazines as Harper's, Scribner's, and the Century, as well as light novels, including Flight of the Moth (1904), Purple and Fine Linen (1906), Woven in the Tapestry (1908), The Title Market (1909), and The Eagle's Feather (1910).
She wrote in various styles including humorous travel books early in her career. In 1922 her book Etiquette was a best seller, and updated versions continued to be popular for decades.
After 1931 Post spoke on radio programs and wrote a column on good taste for the Bell Syndicate; it appeared daily in some 200 newspapers after 1932.
In 1946, she founded The Emily Post Institute which continues her work. On September 25, 1960 she died in her New York City apartment at the age of 86.
Peggy Post, Emily's great-granddaughter-in-law is the current spokesperson for The Emily Post Institute ?- and writes etiquette advice for Good Housekeeping magazine.
How do the troops unvolunteer Stevepax? Are you encouraging mutiny in the Armed Forces? You should think very carefully before going down that path.
