This music video is a solemn reminder that the many freedoms we enjoy here are supported by the men and women in uniform.

Some gave a little,  but Patrick Tillman gave it all.

Mr Foster dedicates this song/video to our military service members and the families that miss them (3:52 )

It makes me happy in some small way to see you guys support me on this.

I don’t know why this affects me so much, I never even met her.  Maybe it’s because I never will.  I’ll never get the chance to hug her or tell her how brave she was.

Thanks for the invitation to talk, Gar.  I’ll take you up on that someday when I have the chance to reflect a bit.

I’m 100% proof positive absolutely convinced of one thing.  I know this isn’t what she wanted.  I’m sure she’d rather go the beach and play volleyball with me tomorrow morning than be dead.  “The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive.”

Actually it would be a good idea for both the WWF organizations to have Panda matches where they wrestle as cage fighters. I would pay to see that and i’m quite sure the other WWF would make alot of money off that. Kids would love it!

HBO is playing a several of his specials right now….

Now is definitely the time to sell D&D memorbillia, especially with the release of D&D 4th edition upcoming. This is a big year in the D&D community.

Well, the doctor that saves the life of the mother at the expense of the child would be considered a hero. The mother go on to live a full life, whereas the child has many more risks to death before the age of two (SIDS, Bad Infections, Accidents, Viruses, whatever. Adults just arnt as prone to death as children.) So there are times when an abortion may be required and not necessarily be a choice.

The doctor that takes the lives of babies because it is an inconvenience, on the other hand, I do not consider heros and many people around the world do not consider them to be heros.

But, the question was, do they think of themselves as “the good guy”? Sure. As I said with Ossama, you don’t do things that you think would make you the “bad guy”, you do things that, in your mind, are “right.”

@Meijing:

Why do I not see headlines every day on the frontpage speaking about all the wonders and majesty of how the USA has straightened up Iraq?

oh come on - there is some reason. After all - look at that news footage of all of the Iraqis cheering at the toppled statue of Saddam :roll:

I’m living in a country part of which wasn’t democratic for 40 years. And it wasn’t war or an ultimatum which brought the change. In fact the BRD (West Germany) recorgnized the DDR (East Germany) as a sovereign state and even lent money to it. On the contrary Cuba remains communistic despite a US embargo and military action.

this is funny (not in the haha sense)
I firmly believe that if the US took exactly the opposite direction with regards to Cuba for the last hundred years or so (i.e. with every fork in the road if it made a different choice) then things would be much different. The US chased Cuba into the arms of Russia making Castro choose a more communist road than he was prepared to go down. With each of the hostile maneuvers directed at Cuba and Castro, Cuba reacted against them (not with - surprising, eh?). What happened is that Canada and Spain are two of the few democratic/capitalistic nations who have Castro’s ear. The problem with this is that the carrot is not big enough yet.

its the day after christmas
