There is nothing wrong with pacifism... If that is the way he feels.. It is the way he feels... and has a right to it without being held to ridicule. He did not say how you should feel.

Mostly? I tend to agree.. but not necessarily for the same reasons.
His are moral.

War should be the final option. After all others are exhausted.
Mine are more pragmatic.

Sometimes... war and violence is a part of life.

I just do not agree with making war for the sake of making war.

Ummm.. I don't know. Let's put a few moments of thought into why they might want to bring in large reinforcements..
ummmm

ummm again...

Oh.. I know. Maybe casualties? Maybe battle fatigue? Maybe to avoid getting their buts kicked?



Actually.. The article you are quoting mentions one brigade commander.. A brigade is 4 to 500o men. A battalion is 500 to 1500 men.

Just because a commander refuses to fight in the field.. Does not mean that everyone under him will leave too.

I.e. another excerpt from that article.



Another...

I'm pretty well versed at finding things on the internet. If it could be found? I probably would have found it.
Heck.. you would think someone other than you would have seen it!
I'm also sure that if 10,000 troops walked off a battlefield, someone else other then General Petreaus would have noticed and we would be seeing report after report on it right now.
The cease fire occurred on March 31st... That is about 8 and a half days too long, before we should have started hearing about it.

If 1000 to 1500 walked away? That is roughly 4 percent. 1% lower then the highest estimate of US military who walked off the job in Vietnam. 2.3% lower then the highest percentage in World War II.

Somebody somewhere has embellished. Or in the least...Severely misunderstood what they thought they heard.

Either way? It is just another of many instances of disinformation I see here in the forums of JSH, from both aspects of any debate.

Duct tape.

Which also stops the food issue.. and the crapping issue.. and the pissing issue.. and the....

So.. you pretty much did the automobile equivalent of keeping the steering wheel and pulling a new car under it?

For anyone who has bought a new E machine within the last 5 years or so... It is a good idea to make sure that it does not have a Bestec 250 power supply in it. If it does? It will very possibly blow a capacitor right off the mainboard in the power supply, while sending a surge to your motherboard... Which will render the control chip completely useless.
Sometimes it also will effect the processor and/or ram too.

Lilith bought a new emachine, for around 250.00 ~ I think... It has the 300 watt supply in it.

That is typical.. That would represent about 4% of the total. Which is pretty much average for any war.

10's of thousands would be better than 50%.

I'm pretty sure if that was the case.. I'd be looking at a constant flow of news reports about it today.

My point...again...

Publishing disinformation to further a political point... Really does not serve a purpose.
Both sides of this argument does it.. Starsailor too... and it is exactly why I am spending less and less time in this thread category.

It is my opinion you guys spend 80% of your time and energy discussing fiction, as quoted from blogs and other unverifiable sources.

Hmmm.. I can't find any reports on this either.. Anywhere.

Slapping?

My guess is, that is probably not the verb she is looking for.. but probably one of the sounds that can occur.

That wasn't meant for you.

I was talking to the man who was advising 95% of the women here to look in the mirror to solve his problems.

Bitter much?

Thus the reason I don't miss you guys.



I'm supposed to move? Well crap... No one told me that!

It's about dang time someone took my advice 'round here!

By the way.. Welcome. You should fit in fine here.
Even though I wasn't raised Southern.. I've been known to wear both cookwear and cowboy hats. Ask anyone here that knows me.
Iguess that makes me a northern redneck beachbum.

Drop the remote and slowly back away from the television.

I'd change the line:

I am a redneck beachbum that loves scary movies and country music.

to:

I am a redneck beachbum that loves country movies and scary music.

Everyone is different. Falling in love is not a hard science.

If you say you are in love... Who am I to say different?

Staying in love though? That can be where the rubber meets the road. If the love has any staying power... All the logistics of it can wait.

I've been found..
The last thing I'm missing is you folks.

The only thing I'm missing is the one who found me.

You know how George always gets confused.
Someone suggested something about oral sex.. and this is a picture of the end result.

Well.. here.. Have a kitty while you are waiting. Mustard?

Give it a few minutes!

And they are all ignoring you? That is just sad.

Sorry.. You cannot drink enough water.. You will just expel what you do not absorb. What you absorb, will be counteracted by the alcohol.

The hang over is the beginning of alcohol poisoning and dehydration. It is a good idea to drink as much fluids and electrolytes as possible after the fact.

Maybe.. If you hydrate introvenously while drinking?
