<p>Yes, Z, it is. It has even degraded into cursing and name calling. And this is supposed to be a mature discussion...God help us. (I seriously mean that.)</p>
<p>People, look at what you are doing! Take a step back and see how (some) of you sound.</p>
<p>Again.....for the actual demographics of the military... Not the presumed ones!!!!!!! (see post 36)</p>
<p>The statistics show the number of African-American servicemembers is dropping. That concerns Gilroy and his office. The military is a leader in equal opportunity in the United States, he said, adding that few, if any, Fortune 500 companies can match the equal employment opportunity record of the military. The office is studying why young black men and women are not signing up.</p>
<p>And Confused...go away.... for someone who claims to be so bright, your posts are coarse & ill-mannered .... How dare you address Mom of Twins in that manner! Without fail, you always end up crossing the line.</p>
<p>Seriously, why are people still engaging Confused23? He is not interested in others views, only in spouting his hateful rhetoric</p>
<p>this reminds me of a internet pic i saw the other day, its caption reads</p>
<p>Arguing on the internet is like participating in the special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded.</p>
<p>Confused and ab, there is not need to become uncivil in this discussion, especially confused.</p>
<p>The facts it, people have their differing opinions, your not gonna change someones mind by spewing filth from their mouth.</p>
<p>The fact is, America is a democracy, so if you don't the direction of the country, go out and vote to change it. If you dont like Bush and never voted for him, i guess ur not in luck then because he won the election which guess what, means the country wanted him in office over John Kerry, (thank god)</p>
<p>You dont like it? move to Canada please, do us all a favor.</p>
<p>This country must maintain a strong military, we are opposed on so many fronts, to lower our military might would be a foolhardy and stupid act. </p>
<p>If this country is so godless, so immoral, and so horrible, why are illegals flooding it? Just a thought. =)</p>

<p>Oh, hell. I'm guilty of that myself. They deserve it. :D</p>
<p>I'm just amazed the argument against these blithering idiots still goes on. Sheesh, even I got tired of it.</p>

<p>Hey, everybody! Did you know he fought in Vietnam?</p>
<p>No, really! </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Yes ,oh look at the conservatives get riled up when one levels an insult at a women. How sweet,considering they oppose abortion and try to tell women what they can do with their body. Oh , how stupid.</p>
<p>lol wrong on both counts: i'm not conservative and a female. your generalizations again running away from you.</p>

<p>Well, nobody's perfect. ;)</p>
<p>haha, they are perfectly albe to do whatever they wish with thier body, but when that action results in the responsibilty of another life, then someone should step in when they have no regard for that responsibility. Agreed, women shouldnt be told what to do with thier body, but if they "dont keep it in their pants" whent they arent ready or dont want a child, then something needs to be done.</p>
<p>Oh, good grief. We're discussing ABORTION, now? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Sigh......</p>
<p>Z, since the liberals can't win an argument, the constantly go off on tangents. At the end of the day they claim victory simply out of exhausting the opposing party.</p>
<p>Just let them rant. It's really not worth the effort to convince them of how supernaturally stupid they are. The cold hand of reality will eventually slap them silly.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I'm going to simply dedicate myself to helping the folks who are trying to get into or through USNA. They are our hopes for the future, and any time I spend dealing with clueless idiots like C23 and his Berkeley Butt Buddies is time I lose helping kids who need it and deserve it.</p>
<p>The whole Berkeley Bunch are on my ignore list. If they want to do a circle-jerk amongst themselves, that's fine with me. I'm going back to what I came here to do in the first place.</p>
<p>I recommend everyone else put these yahoos on Ignore. They deserve nothing more, and nothing less.</p>
<p><em>Jamzmom grabs ahold of confused real tight, and beats that butt until my hand falls off then puts a good old bar of soap in that nasty mouth</em> </p>
<p>Spankin' was called for. I feel better now. The attack on Momoftwins was about the lowest thing I've EVER seen on here. She is the most thoughtful, kind person from the moment I first began to read here. That really was horrid & I think you know it. I think as a little boy, I can picture you drowning kittens and spitting in Santa's eye just for kicks. </p>
<p>My son's? They were delightful little beings who began life with please & thankyou & yes sirs and from there grew into decent human beings. I didn't need to beat their butts. Did you have no hugs and kisses growing up? I just wonder is all.... I've had a few laughs giving you hell on here but ya know, I think I'll stop now. I'm seriously concerned that something just isn't right so the fun has left me. There are things that no one here can help you with my dear.</p>

<p>EEEWWWW!!!!!! :eek:</p>
<p>Wash your hands! Quick!</p>
<p>Bleach! Lots of BLEACH!</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>You would have done better to take a Louisville Slugger to his cranium. Lot more hygienic, too. ;)</p>
<p>Orderly, pass the knife... these hands must be amputated.</p>
<p>Yeah! Amputate his hands so he can't type anymore! </p>
<p>Oh, wait...... You meant Mom's. Sorry.</p>
<p>Bummer. :(</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>I have a question for the conservatives who are simultaneously engaging in a circle jerk. Though ab_med and confused23 are giving examples of how silly liberals can be, don't you think that there are just as many people on the right capable of equal silliness?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>But we're RIGHT, and we have FUN being RIGHT. :D</p>
<p>So tell me. What's YOUR connection to a Serivce Academy?</p>
<p>Other than a few friends who graduated/go to one, nothing really. But I don't believe that I should necessarily have any connection to a SA in order to point out silliness from either side.</p>
<p>ab_med should know when and where to bring the fight, but I don't really see the need for rampant stereotypes from the other side, either. Zealotry just irks me, I suppose. </p>

<p>By the way, did you mean for the double entendre here?</p>
<p>Well, I would <em>consider</em> listening to the left idea more if people like confused were able to communicate the ideas in a coherent, understandable, and gramatically correct manner utilizing proper rhetoric and not resorting to profanity and personal insults. That turns me, and most all people, off--and that impression you leave lasts for a long time. Of course, that is part of the reason why all the SA folks on here are bashing confused and his other dudes out there, because he has lost the debate and resorted to profanity and personal attacks. When a person does that, they know that they have lost...and with that said, I say bash away. As for UCLAri, at least you have not seriously ruined your reputation among the SA people yet by resorting to childish tantrums, so I for one still have respect for you and am willing to listen to your ideas, unless you prove otherwise.</p>
<p>But yes, people on the right--especially the far right--can be equally as silly as people on the left, and especially the far left. I think that a lot of Americans realize that, which is why someone here posted an article mentioning the potential upstart of a new political party, a moderate one...I believe that this is the direction that our country is headed in the next 10-20 years...:)</p>
