I can see you are either military or family of military. I support all the troops that give their lives, but don't agree that they should be sent to the middle east to be slaughtered for political gain. We wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if it wasn't for your retarded fuck up of a President Bush. He should be thrown in jail for the crimes his office has committed. Our country is set back 10 years because of his worthless ass. The only thing I have ever seen in Texas is vast-barren land that could only be God's asshole of the world. We should use the state line for the US-Mexico border and just give Mexico Texas for some more decent workers. Why don't you go watch Varsity Blues or Runaway Bride and cheer yourself up. |
Didn't google anything. I was stationed at Wright Patt in Dayton, OH for 4 years and saw lots of Indiana. I have extened family in Ft. Wayne and some good friends in Muncie. I gave you an olive branch for you to reply and talk up your state, but instead you reply with a profanity laced, hate filled name calling, rambling post. Not Funny, but a reflection of something sad or missing in your life.
Well let me tell you about your own great state of Indiana: Yes, Gary is the pits but you could have talked about Manning and the Colts. I saw two games there last fall and had an absolute blast. You could have talked about Hoosier basketball, or the work ethic of the Amish folks. The farming country in Indiana is some of the most productive in the US, and therefore the world. The resurgence of downtown Indianapolis is nothing short of remarkable and their museum is one of the best I have had the pleasure of seeing. Indiana has done a financial U-turn to the tune of some $350 million now in the state treasury. Things are beginning to look up after the beating the manufacturing sector has taken. And who could forget about mentioning David Letterman? He is the only reason I stay up after the news.
You need to look at things in another perspective, life is waaayy too short to be so bitter. Yeah, Texas has its problems too. Lots of them. But I've done my part to help out. I have volunteered in soup kitchens in some of the poorest neighborhoods in San Antonio. I have seen poverty and neglect eye to eye. Its really humbling to serve someone a few slices of bread on a Saturday knowing that they will get nothing to eat until their father gets paid when he goes back to work on Monday. I've coached an inner city football team to a bunch of kids who had no concept of working together or had $$ for equipment. These guys played their little hearts out simply because it became important to them and more importantly, gave them a little confidence. When I coached my teams went 2-4 then 3-2-1. Not important or earthmoving by any means, but maybe, just maybe they will be better for it.
As for this war or any other war they should only be fought as a last resort. In Gulf 1, I was at a foward base or LZ and saw a battlefield before during and after the event. Nothing can prepare your senses for the overload of revulsion and the putrid smell of broken, burned rotting bodies. That horrible ghastly smell will never get out of my nose, and these images have profained my memory. I wish to high heaven nobody else has to see what I saw. Right before hostilities ceased, I gave my canteen to a group of surrendering Iraqi soldiers and they were truly shaken to the core that an American would be so merciful. They were a pathetic sight and hadn't eaten in nearly a week. I wonder every night if they still think of that American who gave them his canteen and just little peace on that day. I pray they still do.
Next time you're on your computer posting how bad everything is, look around and see the good things. Do you have a roof over your head? Are you fed well enough? How's your health? How are your loved ones? Those things are truely the things that matter in this adventure we call life. It's not what you do but how you see things.
P.S. ALL the papers will report the Irish lost again, but the good news is Purdue is undefeated and pasted Central Michigan.
