A Nation Always Murdering in Smaller Countries for its Rich Investors Is Evil

During Memorial Day moments of silence to honor those who 'gave' their lives, exclude my six bunk mates buried somewhere in North Korea. They would be really pissed, being thanked for dying while killing dirt poor people in their own country because of phony radio, newspaper praise of how we were protecting Koreans from Koreans. Sixteen wars--same simple-minded protecting people from themselves. Lies re: Libya's pro US insurgents

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone. And by the way, should you happen to attend one of those militarized Memorial Day observances with parades, uniforms, flags flying and speeches about wonderful patriotic sacrificing of ones life, during the requested moment of silence, exclude my six basic training bunk mates buried somewhere in North Korea. They would be really pissed if anyone thanked them for dying while forced to participate in killing dirt poor people in their own country because of some phony radio and newspaper praise how we were protecting Koreans from themselves.

Four of those six buddies were draftees - in the army because didn't want to go to jail. The fifth one had been persuaded to join and get off a jail sentence for petty thievery. The youngest one was glad to be drafted out of doing nothing at home in the jobless Ozark Mountains. He was wearing the first and only pair of shoes (boots) he ever owned when he died in a country in which no one spoke English.

In the sea of destruction, death and bleeding all around them, the occasional glimpse of wild eyed mothers in rags desperately trying to care for and save there little children, my friends learned that we had all been had by the rich bosses of the America they had naively believed in. Somehow, incredulously, these bastards must have been making money from this hell they had arranged by convincing enough stupid people that it was necessary.

Happy Hate-Your-Own-Country Day?

There are many, many brave people working on aid projects in foreign countries. I suggest that anyone who feels this strongly participate in or donate to those programs.

And then make some attempt to realize this isn't a nation of saints. THERE IS NO NATION OF SAINTS.

No other nation starts as many bloody foreign invasions as ours.

The toughest and kindest man I ever knew. Veteran of two wars. Or my grandfather with three silver stars. Two of the best. One an architect the other a veterinarian. I don't think my father ever got over Korea and the senseless slaughter
he saw there.

Or the Cold War?

Certainly not people who believe in democracy -- or the Constitution.

There was a time in history when a just war required that your country was attacked. All that is now forgotten. What was once viewed as the ultimate national crime -- a war of aggression on a country that has not attacked your nation -- is now standard operating procedure for the Western powers.

The Mexican War was a rotten war, the Spanish-American war was a rotten war, World War I was a rotten war, Grenada was a rotten war...

I get tired of hearing from patriot assclowns about how America is great because it's never lost a war (which isn't even true, but I digress). I'd rather hear about how we aren't consistently on the wrong side of some imperialistic war.

the Republicans are working hard to create 3rd world conditions right here in the USA. Then soldiers won't have to go so far to become dead heroes.

Seriously though, after World War II, any soldier serving the USA deserves an apology for life wasted.

South Koreans have been protected from famines that affected North Korea. The part that I quoted seems to imply that the famines in North Korea weren't caused by any people in North Korea. Who or what caused the famines?

so I'm not sure what the relevance is.

A fire extinguisher protects people. We don't have to wait until there's a fire before we can say that a fire extinguisher protects people.

Speaking more precisely, a functioning fire extinguisher in a known and accessible location provides a way to protect people and property. Because a fire can spread, putting out a fire that is in the process of damaging some property can be a way to prevent harm to people, even though those people might have been completely unharmed if the property had been completely destroyed by something other than fire.

I'm wondering why you wrote "that famine." What specific famine did you have in mind?

My guess is that the second person possessive "your" followed by the verb "are" produces the word sequence "your are." We can then contract that word sequence, replacing the space and the vowel "a" with an apostrophe.

Among the documented functional effects of smoking the substance you referred to, which effects are relevant to the language usage that you observe in this thread?

It can be carefully studied. Questions can be formulated, and maybe even answered.
