So much to quote, so little time! I am just going to have to summarize for now and come back later, I have to go to class soon.
Number one, valkyrie, you have raised some great points. Please don't feel like there is resentment towards YOU personally, it is not that way at all. It is just tiresome to see that people still feel that just because THEIR experience was that they had to walk 10 miles uphill in the snow to school everyday, yet THEY graduated, that it MUST be that way for everyone. Right? Wrong. And I am not directing that towards you at all, just trying to explain the attitude.
pbpck. Wow. All I have to say...just wow. You are SO blinded by the red white and blue. I suggest you do some major research into the history of "God's green Earth". You will find MANY regimes, dynasties, and nations that have been greater than ours. We have been the United States for around 300 years. Do you understand how young we are?? To call us the greatest is VERY presumptious, and VERY false.
Also? LOL. Because you TRULY believe that we are HELPING those who we are at war with. Wow. That last post just had me floored and I will have to address it in detail later.
And sorry, I forget the poster's name, but actually I went to a pretty average sized school. I DID get offered scholarships, Bright Futures in fact, but that was before the Jeb Bush era, so I didn't have to worry about it.
Lovelyivy hit the nail square on the head. If you are indeed so patriotic, then is it not hypocritical to attempt to deny someone a right guaranteed in the constitution (freedom of speech)? I mean really! I feel like we have McCarthy right here among us in GC, lol.
