    to be fair, a young man in a group of cave people i hung out with on the Jordan and Israel border didn't think i should drink

    i had 2 videos on my old iphone i had with with me and they wanted to watch them, 1 was me and a girl singing karaoke a few years back. we were pretty drunk in the video

    that man sternly told me i shouldn't be doing that. i asked if he had ever tried booze and he scolded me again.

    i changed the subject cause he wasn't going to bend on it and it wasn't going to go anywhere good.


    the other video was the movie "The Town" in case you were wonder. they asked me "does that happen everyday in america" when they watched the cash truck robbery scene that was a shoot out with the cops and police chase

    I do envy you at times. I lived in Europe for 9 years, but places you've been, people you hung out with would put me to shame.

    Westernized Muslims don't strap bombs to their jackets and blow people up either.

    Since when Middle East and Africa can be labeled as "civil"?

    I can't say I disagree. An accurate assessment. I am kind of curious, what Christian sec is doing the witch burnings?

    Problem is no one trying to knock some sense into them. The ones in the States should be our first advocates but I don't blame them for not interfering due to the threat of being on a pike with buzzards eating your rotten corpse.

    Wasn't the My Lai Massacre technically a rogue attack? I don't recall learning about it as being a sanctioned operation -- in fact, I thought it was in response to the soldiers' perception of 'high command' dragging its feet.

    Irregardless, that is sick we did something like that, absolutely uncalled for. How can anyone live within themselves of committing an atrocity like this.

    And then they cover it up or not pass on any penalties. The gall of it.

    I think the US has a history of unduly indiscriminate airstrikes based on little to no information. I believe that policy shows a clear disdain for the lives of civilians.

    Does the fact that they call it something different make the end result any different?

    of course

    just like it isn't torture cause it is "enhanced interrogation"
