That is your opinion.......Remember the old saying......There are no atheists in foxholes.......


Just a good friend of mine and my brother who accepted God just before they died.........That is good enough for me........

Reminds me of an old saying: "Desperate times call for desperate measures"

This atheist won't find a higher power when confronted with death. This atheist wont be in a foxhole fighting a "holy war" either. This atheist will only defend his country, not be a mercenary.

I know that I don't type with my elbows like you do! I know that I am not a lefty, though I am ambidextrous. I said I would defend my country. Invading Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq has nothing to do with protecting America. A mercenary is:

Main Entry: 1mer·ce·nary
Pronunciation: 'm&r-s&n-"er-E
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -nar·ies
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin mercenarius, irregular from merced-, merces wages -- more at MERCY
: one that serves merely for wages; especially : a soldier hired into foreign service

I work and pay taxes, so I have "eant" any benefits I get, which I receive none. Do you "ecwn" know what spellcheck is?

Yeah because Iraq was such an imminent threat to our freedoms..... :spin:

It sure was........

Note: I was NOT being sarcastic here. I actually think it was a threat.
 
OOOOO, what would Iraq do? Attack us with their shitty infrastructure, shitty army and imaginary ICBMs with, most probably, non-existent chemical weapons warheads on them?

(sorry, couldn't resist the snide comment)

No, remember what the Bush Administration was spouting, he had WMDs, and he was going to attack the continental US.:rofl

So our troops are not mercenaries........

Let me break it down for you how it works in this country.......We have no draft into the military.....Everyone in is a volunteer.......So you don't have to worry about serving..Someone is doing it for you so you can sit back here and run your government down.........

In this country we vote for our elected politicians and our president.....That gives them the right to make political decisions.........They decide what is best for our country not you.......If you don't like their decisions vote them out of office...

Sorry about the spelling but I am and old hunt and peck typist..........When I was working I always had some subordinate like you to handle my light work like typing...............Besides I am busy as hell debunking all the left wing anti Bush anti government propaganda you and others with like thinking are spouting in the various forums..........

Your problem Scotty is when you think of a WOMD the only thing you see is a 30 foot missile........Sadly there are biological and chemical agents that are just as deadly and a vail of smallpox placed in the right place in this country could kill millions...........

Your problem NP is you that don't understand it was a joke.
 
So anyway...

Ethnic profiling... That's bollocks, ehh?

I guess I don't have much of a sense of humor becasue I don't think its funny that millions in this country could lose their lives because of a biological or chemical weapon attack........
 
OK, we got off topic a little there.....and I contributed to it as well, my mistake.

Now, to get back on topic, I think that Ethnic Profiling is needed to protect our country. We need to be able to make sure we check out all the people who are more likely to be our enemies. I most definitely admit that there are terrorists who are not Muslims, Arabs, from the Middle East area, etc. However, there is nothing wrong with looking at them more closely because they are more likely to be dangerous.....actually, it makes really good sense.

I have no clue if this is correct or not, but I would think that Gandhi probably at least did mental ethnic profiling.....for example, if he saw an englishman, he probably was more wary of him than if he saw a person from india. I've been thinking on that a bit, mainly because of....well......lets just say that one of the members of this forum has Gandhi as part of his name.

hehe.

You got a point.It would be like if I am going to Home Depot looking for a sheet of 4x8 3/4" think inch plywood.Where in that store would I go to get that sheet of plywood?I would not go down to lawn and gardening to look for a sheet of plywood.I would go to where they keep the plywood at.
The same common sense should be applied when screening people.

Well, I believe people are wasting valuable time attending worship services, worshipping a fictional entity that doesn't exist. They should build monuments and worship Santa Clause :lol: . The average life expectancy is what, around 70 years? What if it turns out there is absolutely nothing after death, if it is an eternal sleep? Why waste valuable years of your life and living by a strict code, hoping to get rewarded in an afterlife, if none exists? Wouldn't that be futile?

Just because God can't be proven scietifically, it doesn't mean that he doesn't exist. But if you want to be a God damn Hippie and burn in Hell, then so be it..... LOL j/k! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa

Can we maybe try to get back to topic?

I agree. Now back on topic. Midgets have rights too! We must stop making them dance and we must stop throwing little bits of corn at them. It's not right to pick on midgets... I mean vertically challenged people.

If Gandhi saw an Englishman, he would be 100x more courteous to him than he would have been if he was an Inidan. He would not dissallow them into his house. He would not assume they were there to arrest him or to beat him. Read his autobiography. No one was his enemy. He would not allow it.

Burn in where? O yea, hell. Another fictional place meant to scare so called "sinners" to do good with their lives. From what I understand it is a burning abyss, and a yellow-skinned, hooved, devil resides there, and he plucks sinners up with his pitchfork, is that about right?:lol:
