I'm pretty pissed too. I go to the u of wisconsin (superior) and all the damn libbers are denouncing Bush and hoping that no action is taken. To top it off, I was at a conference and the dean of students said, "Those people the media call "terrorists" are just as innocent as the people on the plane with them." Well shiiiaaaat!! The only folks I can really talk to about the whole thing are military guys. Even that is hardly true: in one of my criminal justice courses, a young lady said, "I'm in the guards, and I don't want to have to go to war over this."
Excuuuuuuuuuse me, did ya' think the Gov. is giving you that $$$ for college for free?! To top off my quotes of the week, I would like to end with some words from a history professor: "Geesh, what's with all this god bless america and flag stuff?" [argue] [+] [pissed] [puke] |

ARben, yeah I can also only talk to the guys at my USMC reserve unit and my father. Even my girlfriend is brainwashed by the media. Whenever I pick up a rifle or a pistol she is scared like its going to go off and kill someone.
Smalls Semper Fi P.S. She does like to shoot my Anchitz but won't touch the AR yet. :( |

They love their country, too. They're entitled to their opinions and to march and protest. Anyone in the guard should do the duty they agreed to do or get the hell out. All the free college bullshit was just a ruse to get people signed up. They've made a contract with the government to do a job.
This war stuff could end really, really bad for all of us. What's that proverb about digging two graves before seeking revenge? I hope the actions taken are well planned and we don't fall into the trap the Afghans are laying out. The Gulf War was difficult enough. This one is near impossible to pull off. The entire region is nothing but tangoes, not one real ally, not even India. A lot of US troops are going to die this time. |

I, too, am opposed to starting a war over differences in ideology between the West and and some segment of the Mid-East population. Unfortunately, they already did...again. It is simply a matter of our own self defense to finish it.

If you had friends/co-workers/colleagues/faces you saw on a daily basis die in the World Trade Center or Pentagon attack, you would want some serious payback. But alas, it must be nice to think that you are changing the world in your sheltered university lifestyle. WAKE THE FU@K UP!!!! Ameericans were murdered by terrorists, did I get your attention yet? Turn Afghanistan into a parking lot and let all these anti-war demonstrators work as valet's when this is all over. [stick]

All the free college bullshit was just a ruse to get people signed up. They've made a contract with the government to do a job. No, I disagree. They hate our country and almost everything we do. They just like the benefits. I have had moronic professors who think that we shouldn't have fought the Revolutionary War! You can't get more deluded than that. They want free everything, and don't want to do anything to get it. They are also secuced by the whim that no one is truly evil, and if there are evil people out there, it's us. This war stuff could end really, really bad for all of us. What's that proverb about digging two graves before seeking revenge? Again, No. Only if we have the resolve, and don't pussyfoot around a bunch of flower children will we be sucessful. We always have. Clint Eastwood didn't order a grave for himself in "Fistfull of Dollars". I hope the actions taken are well planned and we don't fall into the trap the Afghans are laying out. The Gulf War was difficult enough. This one is near impossible to pull off. The entire region is nothing but tangoes, not one real ally, not even India. A lot of US troops are going to die this time. What trap? Are you a moron? Their army is weaker than a fat cow with arthiritis. We could take the entire country with 500,000 troops. Since when was the Gulf War difficult? We won in under a week, and had to stop shooting because we were kicking ass too much! US troops will die in any war, and that is the price of freedom. 30,000 died in Vietnam. What was that, a 15 year war? 6,000 people died in about 2 hours on 9/11/01. If the planes had struck 40 floors lower, 18,000 would have died. Would that be enough reason to destroy some rinky-dink tin-cup dictatorship? These "Peace Fools" are [b]ALWAYS[/b] wrong. They were there in every war, why won't they learn? |

People like this make me sick. They only wish it was the sixties all over again. I suppose if a plane flew into a high rise dorm on thier collage they wouldnt be so quick to forgive. I was a sophmore in high school when my brother was in Desert Storm, the local media showed a handfull of collage students protesting at the local collage (this seems to happen at collages alot huh? Can you say brainwashed.) Me and some of my friends went looking for a protest, axe handles ready. Never found one but had we I don't doubt blood would have been spilled. What these wanna be flower children need is 12 weeks on Paris island with Sgt. Hartman to lay down the facts for them.[uzi]

Same in Berkeley. They're been protesting since 6:00 PM on the 11th. Mostly anti-war and anti-Bush, but there are pro-Muslim protestors as well who, of course, blame the US and say we deserve it. A lot of cops around so no opportunity to open a can of whoop ass. Even so, to do so would mean the loss of RKBA for 10 years. PRK law.

Some of you guys are starting to scare me as much as any terrorist could. Beating people up for holding opinions contrary to our own? Did I hear that right? How American is that? Remember, you have no right to not be offended.

I support the war as much as the next guy, but if we're not willing to tolerate peaceful protests, then I have to wonder what the hell we are fighting for. I was under the impression that it was to preserve Democracy. You know, that system of government of the people, [b]by the people[/b], for the people? Dissent means that our Democracy is healthy. If there were no protests, then I would be very worried indeed. Seriously, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, going out to beat protesters. That's the kind of idiocy I'd expect from the Taleban, not from Americans. Sheesh. |

I'm sorry if it appears nit-picky Torf, but 58,169 young American men died serving our country in Vietnam, not 30,000.
The people of the United States owes them and their families a debt none of us can ever repay even if we lived a hundred lifetimes. We must never forget any of them. |

I think these people fail to realize that we are not bombing inncoents, we're removing threats from the world.
If a whacko comes into my home, shoots my family and threatens to kill me, he will be neutralized. I will not ask why he feels that way, admit it's my fault, and turn over my weapon to the individual. If a loose pit bull kills a kid, you don't go next door and kill the neighbor's poodle and you don't try and pet the dog and give it a treat: YOU DESTROY IT! |

It's YOUR right as an American to open a can of whoop ass on any foreign student who's HERE being educated in YOUR public universities which YOU pay for (like UC and CSU) and who is protesting IN FAVOR of terrorist attacks against YOUR country. If you tried that in THEIR country they would drag you behind a truck for half a day.
Free speech is great and I'm all for it. But there are consequences to free speech and if a can of whoop ass is involved, I sure as hell won't feel sorry for FOREIGN a-holes slapping me in the face following a terrorist attack on our nation. |

Well, we just had 1/10th of a Vietnam war on one day! If you somehow feel like a pacifist after that, check your head. I always think of Vietnam vets as special in a way. They were largely abandoned, and hated by much of America, and most of them were draftees. I hope that never happens again. |

Not to mention that the Vietnam War probably started about 2 August 1964 and ended 30 April 1975 (for the U.S.). We were on the receiving end of the demonstrations in San Francisco upon return from Vietnam in San Francisco 30 April 1969. Lets just say, my opinion of the "Anti-War" garbage did not set well with me then, nor does it set well with me now. I consider them the same as the "Terrorists". I won't bother ranting on what I think should happen to the demonstrators. It's considered illegal!!!!!!!!!! I believe here in Louisiana, they would be in deep "S..T".

There have been some interesting responses here to this thread.
I will start by saying that I am a Kent State Graduate. About 17 years after the incident. I will note its importance though, the aftermath of opening a can of whoopass on peaceful white, middle class students sure got the attention of the powers that be and pushed the paradigm over the edge and brought us fully into the age of PC, prior to that the authorities had only beat up on the radical left and poor for the most part. As to dealing with these people I say ignore them, the less press they get the better and the press is always drown to conflict of any kind. As to professors and administrators I would suggest peaceful measures such as writing intelligent letters. Start with the univeristy president and then get the alumni directory and write to them, follow with corporate donors, Money talks folks, if enough people agree with you and threaten to remove their money from unpatriotic causes then it will change. The beauty of our system is that we all have the right to an opinion, even if it is wrong. These people are hoping for a conflict to further their beliefs, don't give it to them. If they offend you complain to the administration, file suit, work within the system. If you see the law broken then call the police. Video tape any lawless acts. These are the tools to use. Violence against our own people, even the misguided should never be condoned and gives the terrorists what they want, the suppression of our basic freedom. |
