I know I might be a little impolite and a bit threadjacking, but what jobs are you expected to do for the minimal wages in US ?

And I'm seeing the revisionist crap, here, too. I've been on the front line of this battle since back in '97 when I first ran for school board. Nobody seems to give a s**t except people like me, and listen to "Oh, your crazy that's not happening." Or "What I can I do, I'm insignificant, my voice don't count."

Boo f*cking hoo.

Man you're really a patriot, you are truly my idol. You diminish all the atrocities your own country commits yet whine and act so offended by other countries when they do the same. Every country has a tail to step on and the US is no exception. Take your genocide against the native american populations in the 19th century, your continued support for slavery decades after most of ther enlightened countries illegalized it, offical state-sponsored segregation up to the 50's and 60's, support of brutal right-wing regimes which all together have also killed millions and left countries in ruins.

But nooo, let's whine about this idiot german kid who is probably flunking history. I'd honestly like to know how many similar aged American kids are conscious of their country's misdeed. I wonder how many of them have ever heard of "My Lai" or perhaps words like "Somoza" or "Batista", cruel dictators which your country supported for decades. I wonder if YOU'VE even heard of them, or if you rather, are choosing to deliberately ignore them.

Dimwitted "patriots" like yourself make me want to puke.

Whitewashing...BS

The education system isn't whitewashing, you are. Whitewashing is making something not as horrid as it was.

Case in point: all those people talking about how the atomic bomb was good for the war, and ending the discussion there. That's whitewashing. Was it good for the war? In all likelihood, and in my personal belief, yes. Does that mean we should ignore all those who suffered? No.

Your discussion here isn't factoring in all the rest of the **** that happened during Vietnam. You're whitewashing by the simple fact that you refuse to accept that the rotten things that happened were more prevalent than what you'd like to believe--and thus, you deny it.

Actually, that's second-hand knowledge. Much like what little I got from my father, who served with the Korean military during that time.

Do you want to pull out references? Are we going to do that penis/pissing contest, Wise one of the Desert? 'Cause I can go the distance.

Hell, I'm not even arguing about whether or not such and such happened in Vietnam, I'm just pointing out why you're showing up in such a bad light in this thread.

So you pass judgement on an entire country because of what one child says, and then get all huffy when people pass judgement on just you? What kind of ****ed up **** is that? You're passing a negative judgement on millions, whereas it's just maybe tens passing a negative judgement on one. Why are you so angry? The judgement here doesn't impact anything other than your social standing here. Is that what you're unhappy about? That your social standing on an internet bulletin board is being eaten away by your ranting posts?

Front line of what battle, the so-called culture wars? Where it's the liberals against the conservatives over every little thing, leaving the rest of us moderate Americans high and dry, held hostage to your petty bickering? Where the instant we try to come up with some workable compromise, it's torpedoed by extremists on your side or your opponents, saying that it's too much in favor of one or the other? That's why we're in the mess. It's not the liberals' fault. It's not you conservatives', either. It's both of you, and a ****in' pox on both your parties.

It's not up to me, it's up to the mods, well the owners of this site. Half naked men and women are little different than war pics don't you think? If you think there's no difference in showing pics like that kid who is all burned up, with good resolution and close up, to pictures of even hardcore porn, then we just think differently. Everyone should know what victims of war looks like, yeah, but can't we leave the most graphic ones under links or something?
