yes my country!

[jimmmyb]

first off skeepwerkazaz in order for me to be your pal, that would mean i would have to know you, well i don't know you so nuff said,
yes my country, skeepwerkazzz i noticed on your profile you are a student,i am glad for you that you are a student now you can read lots of books that were published in the usa.
skeep you herd of that boat called the mayflower, well when that boat docked
here who do you think did the repair rigging on it. of course you know with all the book reading you do right, my ancestors did the rigging thats who.
p.s
ps my my great uncle 20 times, over rebuilt the pump on the mayflower yes it's a berk

[jroos]

A berk, COOL!

[froggystyle]

Jimmy,
While you are bagging on people for getting an education and speaking about tolerance and civility, others are girding their loins to fight for your liberty. Don't think for a minute that a bunch of "I was here first" talk is what is needed right now. To the contrary, planning and learning is what is needed to keep guys like me from running headlong into a bloodbath, only to watch only innocent die at our hands, and the guilty to laugh at our inability to plan an op properly, while planning their next act of hostility against us. Your country? Wrong. Our country. That goes for every person proud to call it home and fight for it's liberty.
The only thing that makes me more sick than the terrorism that took place in our country this week is the ignorant jackasses shouting racial epithets at anyone with middle eastern lineage. I heard of an incident where some redneck was beating the crap out of an imigrant, calling him all sorts of derogatory names, while he was screaming the whole time that he is an american citizen, whose parents are Moroccan!
Plus, I don't think anyone was asking to be your "pal", as far as I can tell...
But, I am stoked that the Mayflower was a squirt boat! Do you know if it was a split bowl, and did it have any Agressor components?

Jimmyb,
I make time to read. The reason that I am educating myself is becoming increasingly more evident. Good for you great-great whoever. I have no doubt that what you say is true. But who cares. Are they telling you to hate Arabs? Your ancestors came here to escape there own countries, just like most immigrants in America now. Try to think for a moment...I know it will be hard... but try to put yourself in the shoes of a Muslim father who has a wife and children. He is as American as apple pie and yes YOU and ME. Yet he is scared to death to go outside, to work and to send his little kids to school because of people like you. There are 15 million Muslims in America. None of the bombed anything.
I like everybody, and just hate to see what is going on here. Try to be tolerant.
p.s. That Berk must have had a bad wear ring,
it took them over three months to get here!

Froggy, it is an honor to have a well educated person such as yourself, who understands what this country represents, fighting for us. Keep up the good work.
hey jimmmy...there was a REASON the Mayflower came here. That reason is what makes the landing so significant, NOT the fact they landed.

[rivercrazy]

Well said Froggy!!!

God Bless America, Heaven help us all.

Thanks for serving, but I meant today, now, with a faceless enemy, and the overwhelming likelyhood that we will be killing "civilians" to a degree never before imagined.

Well said, sorry for any misconceptions or conclusions jumped to. Skeepwerkzaz is my younger brother. He decided before I did to serve in the military, and attended college to do so as an officer. Plans have changed, and now I am the enlisted pig in the family, but his patriotism and devotion to human rights and liberties are unassailable. He is exactly the kind of guy that guys like me serve to protect. Intelligent, thoughtful, and full of ideas to make the world a better place. You just chose the wrong guy to post about bro! http://free.***boat.net/ubb/tongue.gif

[Terrible Buddhist]

That must make for some interesting Thanksgiving conversations...officer vs enlisted men. It must also give you guys differing opinions on the same topics...I would love to be a fly in the wall there. Especially since you both seem like thoughtful opinionated educated people. Good for your family, and ours!

[froggystyle]

Actually, my dad was the Acadamy grad ('62) and my bro is still finishing school, and is looking towards aviation now. He already has his A&P certificate, and I phone him weekly for engine advice. But, Not an officer yet! Fortunately, I will be getting out before having to salute him... hehe
