this is probably very petty but ....
What kind of sub-human scumbags would deliberately go out of their way to vote DOWN a story about our military dead in Iraq?

This story is currently ranked 2.92 with 622 votes.

That means there are subhuman scumfucks who are actually thinking they can vote this story down and sweep our soldier's deaths under the rug.

These people are just so fucking sick it makes ME sick.

2. Well hell
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 02:24 AM by Moonbeam_Starlight
there's a poster here on DU who is over in the LBN forum trying like hell to minimize the casualties AND trying to convince us he was Special Forces in Iraq (but all he did was drive around, according to him, LOL!).

7. I spotted him too
I noticed that he didn't see fit to give me any guff. I told him he was completely uninformed on two issues (the hospital meals brouhaha and the dissemination of guidance to subordinates) but I noted he failed to engage me. Of course, he probably suspects that my BS meter is redlined whenever I read his stuff.

Special Forces? Special Latrine Forces, perhaps! Or maybe he drove around setting up the water buffaloes....he seemed most comfortable talking about the wonderful water supplies over in the sandbox...but why do I think his adventures in driving around and cool, clean water were describing some training exercise conducted safely within the confines of the continental US? Has that cable show "Mail Call" with that screaming DI covered any of these issues lately??

3. It's lower now at 2.91
I am convinced they pay sub-human scum to rate stories down... I cannot imagine that even FR would do it intentionally....it's just sooo WRONG.

8. I don't want to believe that fellow Americans would be that low..
...support the troops! ...uh, yeah.

I do not want to believe it because it makes me want to move out of the country - which I do not wish to do.

10. well time to start believing
Do other countries have such repugnant nasty pieces-of-shit for citizens as we do?

I really wonder ..... I'm sure there are a few everywhere, but there sure seem to be a whole LOT of them in the United States.

14. practically every country
There was a great post from a European DUer the other day. Paraphrased - "Hate Americans! Are you kidding? You guys are just going through a patch of fascism. We know all about that here, and it has happened in every country. We love Americans and are pulling for you to get through this safely."

15. interesting
supports my notion that America is adolescent.

Hopefully one day it will grow up and realize how ignorant, arrogant, and irresponsible it used to be.
