sick of seeing support our troops ribbons

<p>I would go if there were a draft. I would have to. But I would never volunteer to go to war. NEVER. I am wholeheartedly against this war. And Joev, since when do am I required to give 1 word answers. I like to explain myself, so if you dont like it, deal with it.</p>

<p>Its fine that you changed yoiur answer for the better.</p>

<p>But as you see, you dont have to, you can choose to go to jail for a period of time. Their may be some more options.</p>

<p>But going when called upon is your responsibility, your a Male, its your job to protect the whats yours, thats somthing you need to have pride in.</p>

<p>And as a woman it wouldn't be my job to protect what's mine?</p>

<p>Well first of all, there are males and females in the service. And I have pride in being an American, but that does not mean that I have to support the war. I DO NOT LIKE WAR....plain and simple. I do not think that all of the innocent civilians in the Middle East deserve to die. Sorry if that leads you to believe that I am unpatriotic, but honestly, you are not so bright, so I could care less what you think. I do not respect you Vinny. And there is not going to be a draft, so this whole topic is pointless.</p>

I never had a problem with your explaining your answer, but originally you did not answer the question, no offense at all dude :)</p>

<p>

I guess to stay home and protect the kids? LOL</p>

<p>Wow. I thought we were living in 2005?</p>

<p>I really hope you were joking about that. We dont live in the 1950's anymore.</p>

<p>No offense taken. How did I not answer the question in my response post?</p>

<p>I dont see America as a Country were Women are forced or even asked to give their Lives, We are not ready for that and I truly doubt we will ever be. To keep things equal, sure as a women you can join up.</p>

<p>But as for a draft, America will only send the Men 18-26, starting with 23 year olds and then working its way down to 18 years olds and back up again.</p>

<p>Its an Integrity question, rather than a real scenerio.</p>

<p>Well I have integrity. Dont worry. Though I must question your integrity Vinny, when you make prejudiced remarks against blacks, hispanics, and homosexuals. That doesnt seem very moralistic in my book.</p>

<p>The LOL means I was kidding.</p>

<p>joev, I suspected that, I was just making sure.</p>

<p>You have your Opinions and I have mine, you are right I am close minded, you could lock me in a cellar for 2 years and lecture me on whats ethical and whats not. I could care less and would never change. My ideas, are that, my ideas. No need to ever change them.</p>

<p>Just because my Views are Extreme and are not even close to the majoirty of People my age, doeant mean they are right and wrong and it dont mean im an idiot.</p>

<p>the fact is you can ask me any question on my views and I can give you a detailed and full answer. My views arent ********, as legit as can be. I dont take people word for anything. I read more than I do anything else, I love to debate and defend my position.</p>

<p>Joev the fact that you joke about it, (which was btw, such a cheap shot) reflects your opinions on females pretty clearly. You know why it's not that funny? Because it just shows a medieval, asinine way of thinking. It's like people cannot think beyond stereotypes. Get over it.</p>

<p>I agree Women should stay home during wartime.</p>

<p>joev, you are perhaps the most backwards and foolish 28 year old to ever grace this board. Your replies are not only bull****, but you seem to think that you know everything and that your opinions reign supreme. It is hard to believe you will ever get a female to have the slightest respect for you. Maybe I'm wrong, and you spout these ridiculous remarks just to seem like a macho, arrogant bastard, which, by the way, you're succeeding at.</p>

<p>VPerricone, </p>

<p>Oooh, you're such a big, impressive man, what with gushing about your bravery to go to war. And you even called someone gay because they have an opinion that does not blindly coincide with yours! Congratulations! Your manliness is simply amazing; next, I expect you'll start talking about your bulging muscles.</p>

<p>Grow up. A man is someone who has the courage to stand by their beliefs and convictions, and who has the ability to respect others and think for themselves. A man is not someone who accuses others of being gay because they do not want to fight in a war they believe is unjust, or someone who attacks others for forming their own intelligent thoughts.</p>

<p>I change my mind only macramequeen should stay home barefoot, pregnant, and cooking for her husband while keeping up with the housework, since she has no sense of humor whatsoever and clearly likes to make opinions about people by how they joke.</p>

<p>I feel bad about this, but I really can't resist just a little ad hominem. Normally I am against such incivilty, but this thread stopped being civil a long time ago.</p>

<p>Vperricone, I have a request: as much as I want to believe you have intelligent things to say, it is very difficult for me to continue to believe this when your grammar is so poor.</p>

<p>How can you expect liberals to say they would obey a draft law, when you refuse to obey the much less arguable laws of capitalization, punctuation, sentence construction, and spelling?</p>

<p>It is questionable when we assert that the war in Iraq is the same as terrorism (note: I do not believe this, but some do, and it is arguable), but it is impossible for you to argue that "your" is the same thing as "you're" or "there" as "their."</p>

<p>I hope Helix14788 ends up marrying macramequeen, since they both clearly cannot understand that I WAS JOKING ABOUT FEMALES STAYING AT HOME! Jesus</p>

<p>Oh ok so even though you joke about women's domesiticated roles, you are not <em>really</em> a male chauvinist?</p>

<p>I never denied being a male chauvinist, you just took my joke out of context.</p>
