Well... like it or not Adrenaman your protecting peoples right to say whatever the hell they want about the government and how its run.
Its called freedom of speech
"Article I. - Congress "shall make no law" respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or "abridging" the freedom of speech, or of the press; or "right" of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievance."
I served also, I also have a strong sense of patriotism. But patriotism isn't about just saying hail to the commander in chief. You should question the leadership. Its what the founding fathers wanted. Now I don't agree with name calling. But that is the way some people wish to express themselves and they have the right to do so as you have a right to disagree and choose to spend your time with or without the OKGG. Also, don't lump the views of one or two of the Staff with the rest of us. I like President Bush, that doesn't mean I like everthing that the administration has done. This is my favorite quote when it comes to politics and news.
"Keep this in mind: Everything we call 'news' is a mixture, in varying proportions, of selected facts, mistakes, lies, opinions, propaganda, and advertising. In other words, everybody has an angle, an agenda, a direction of spin. The best news sources are heavier on the factual side and light on the rest. But nobody is perfect. Don't believe anything that conflicts with your own knowledge, common sense, and logic." --Ron Kling
You should question everything...EVERYTHING. I agree that Sadam should have been removed... but I don't like the way it was sold to the American public.
Oh and everyone... chill the fuck out. _________________ Thats the Biz sweetheart.

[myopinion]ok, since this is becoming a flame war rather than an intelligent conversation i'm gonna join in on it, fuck everybody that thinks differently than me. that is how some of you are acting. Moose, i consider you a friend of mine, but to say you wont buy something from Goahed based on an opinion he has, is just silly to me. maybe i'm missing something. Adrenaman, not coming to a lan because of someone's opinion is also beyond me. Now, i consider all you guys friends, and would hate to see you leave the lan over a few opinions about a President that might not be in office in the near future. is breaking up a friendships really worth that to you guys, if so.....then i'm truely sorry to hear that.[/myopinion] _________________ pshhh nigga please!

OK, so you guys are all a bunch of stupid fucking morons. I'm not talking to anyone based on their opinions, I'm talking to people who aren't capable of having a fucking intelligent debate. I have OPINIONS. You have OPINIONS. Everyone has OPINIONS. It may come as a surprise to some, maybe even a surprise to most, but My OPINIONS != Your OPINIONS. In fact, I bet you could take any 2 people on the face of the fucking planet, and their OPINIONS won't be EQUAL.
My OPINION: I don't know enough about specific politics involved in the war and Bush's decision to go to war. I don't know if the war(s) are right or justified or completely fucking insane. I don't know whether or not Clinton's politics caused 9-11 or Bush could have prevented it. I don't know whether or not we should attack first in order to keep someone from being able to wipe us off the face of the planet. I don't know if Iraq will ever recover from the current gulf war, or whether they will ever be truly democratic.
I DON'T FUCKING KNOW ANY OF THESE THINGS AND NEITHER DO YOU!!!!! However, I have opinions on some of them, and they are just that, opinions. If I say Bush is a piece of shit, or say that Clinton is a whore-monger, that is my opinion. I personally don't feel either of these statements is true. No matter what I say, it doesn't mean that I am right or that other people have my opinion or anything. It is each and every person's right to have an opinion.
This said, IT IS NOT YOUR FUCKING RIGHT TO TRY TO ANTAGONIZE PEOPLE FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING THEM WORKED UP. I don't give a shit what anyone's opinion is, I'll listen to it. I don't give a shit what your opinion is, YOU OUGHT to be braod minded enough to learn something from hearing anyone else's opinion. It is not appropriate to say shit and insult people just to piss them off. That is not the purpose of these forums. These forums are for INTELLIGENT discussion, not name calling, pissy-acting, refusing to listen to other's opinions, or thinking that they are a BAD PERSON just for having independent thoughts.
This is MY OPINION, not yours, so don't take it as fact or a reason for you not coming to a LAN party or a reason for you to not jerk your meat tonight, just take it for opinion.

BTW, this took awhile to write, so it is in no way related to any specific posts, just in general....
