when i was in the navy years ago seemed every country we stopped,especially in the persian gulf(hated that tour,they didnt like americans at all,even back then) there were always kids begging..and yeah..it got annoying after awhile.
but thats not the reason im commenting.
it was the sentence "disillusioned peace/love monger then this might upset you"
uh....huh?
makes no sense..the words you chose are paradoxical.
maybe this sentence would be more apt.
"for those of you who politically correct,and are easily offended by foul language and brazen insensitivity then this video may upset you".
that sentence makes more sense.
those who have not been in combat readiness situations probably would not understand this mans humor.the constant threat of attack,followed by days upon days of boredom can de-sensitize people.
miltary and former military understand this,for the rest they most likely dont.
i think thats what you trying to get across,im not trying to put words in your mouth,nor be a smart ass( ok..i am a wee bit) but that one sentence made no sense.
anyways...i been there,done that,and yeah....its funny.
think you have to have been there to get it tho.
maybe thats just me.

more or less, yes that is what i was conveying. I just wanted to be a jerk about it in a sort of tongue-in-cheek sort of way =P

Saw one of your comments and the name looked familiar. Haven't seen your comments since Fedquip had his AOL blod. Good to see you here.

but if you let the government legislate morality,we risk fascism,or worse...
a theocratic fascism.

In my opinion this is not entirely correct. While I see what you mean, it is important to remember that when it comes to criminal law, nearly everything is based on morality, and we see nothing wrong with that. For example murder is immoral in our culture, therefore it is illegal. Whereas certain local tribes in Borneo doesn't consider murder to be immoral, therefore it is allowed.

Well anyway, welcome to the sift

Awesome, I've been meaning to email you and tell you get your ass over here.
