TypeO Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Sorry for old bump - been off for quite a few days, computer had to be resuscitated. True,but... They wrote, performed and recorded their first CD "Live from Iraq" in country(that means in Iraq) in a homemade studio between fighting; they have credibility. Just because they are trying to sell their work dosen't mean you can just discount their opinions. I for one support our troops and think their views should be respected (You don't have to agree). I listened to SPC Harris and I was inspired, very cool. But did you listen to Sgt Saunders songs? (Yes I know it's rap, it took me some getting used to!) You should listen up, these guys are fighting for you. Edited for the usual spelling errors! It's always easiest to listen to those with whom we agree but we grow and learn the most by considering differing opinions. Yes, I listened. And I actually like rap, but I'm not an expert. And I did like their songs - especially the last vid (4th one down?) I love the new phrase Del coined though - "flagulatory masturbationism", sounds like a philosphy or something. Q: "What are your beliefs founded on Jimmy??" A: "Flagulatory masturbationism" HEY, that was MINE!!! (see below) Besides, I'm pretty sure flagulatory masturbationism is prolly illegal in at least 29 states or so, as well as Papua, New Guinea. /just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medhb Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 HEY, that was MINE!!! (see below) Ahahahah! Sorry for that O...of COURSE you deserve the credit for that fine phrase...huh. Del, you let me give you credit for that!! Now I wonder if I'll be banned for pointing that out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldoc Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 You could have heard a pin drop When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building' by George Bush. He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.' You could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?' A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: 'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?' You could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English.' He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?' Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied 'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.' You could have heard a pin drop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE... Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. 'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.' The American said, ''The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it. 'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!' The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.' You could have heard a pin drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Only reason the U.S. gets involved in other country's affairs is to serve their own interests. The only reason the U.S. partook in World War 2 was because of an attack on their own soil. Where was the U.S. during the Rwandan genocide? Where is the U.S. in Uganda when thousands of children are kidnapped and forced into the army? Was the U.S. in Vietnam, Korea, and Afhganistan (the first time around, you know when they were fighting the Russians with Al Qaeda) simply because they dislike communism? Did the CIA put Augusto Pinochet into power as a brutal dictator in Chile in the 1970s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
