Happy Birthday...

[DaveyCrockett]

These forums are absolutely no place for all of this. This thread in particular was to wish a DDO player (who happens to be in the military) a Happy Birthday. What you children have done to it with your personal opinions is just absolutely unnecessary.

There are thousands of forums available for you to declare your opinions and debate them with others (political/religious/military/personal beliefs/etc). A forum for a video game is not the place at all, and in fact, is against the CoC established for these forums.

So, I am asking nicely. S T F U

Just because someone refuses to fight does not make them a coward. You need to read up/watch on your Gandhi. He was truely incredible. And approach it with an open mind, not your "gunslingin'-yeehaw-shoot-em-up" mode of thinking.

Yeah, I agree. He defeated the British empire with a million 7-11 workers.

You are the type of person that makes this world a bad place. I am not willing to kill other human beings to "protect".

BTW, just found this. Completely contridictory, word for word you said "you who want your right to say anything you want" then later in the paragraph you said "I believe in the principles of this country". SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE! Please save yourself and open your mind!

First thank you for correcting my spelling and typos.

Second I'll give you 1% chance that my assumption on Germany is wrong. Only because you do never know.

Now my reply:
I'm all for non-violence. I have an "open mind". Mine just happens to be open enough to under stand that sometimes there is a need for violence. And by all means be anti-military, that’s your right. But just remember who died for you to have that right. A little resects for them isn't uncalled for.

Also try opening your mind a bit, because not everyone in the military are "gunslingin'-yeehaw-shoot-em-up" people. We are just willing to do what is needed.

edit for spelling

Yep. Tavok's convinced me. I guess my Dad is a horrible person for being a swat officer. They have to carry guns. That's soooooo horrible.

I guess next time a knife, bomb, or gun wielding psychopath creates a hostage situation and negotiations fail, or the next officer gets gunned down, we should all just accept that it was a necessary evil, because nothing justifies carrying a weapon, or " killing someone to protect ".

/sarcasm off

Here's the deal kid. You have a lot of growing up to do. Just because someone believes there are certain situations that require the use of violence ( even killing someone ) for resolution, does not mean they have a "gunslingin-yeehaw-shoot-em-up " mode of thinking.

I used to respect you Tavok. I no longer do.

I sincerely hope you have the luxury of holding on to your principals for the rest of your life. If that proves not to be the case, I won't laugh at you. I won't even say " I told you so ". I would never ridicule another human being in the face of tragedy. But I do sincerely hope you remember these conversations.

This thread definitely is getting a nice tall glass of s t f u.

For those thinking about WW2, WMDS, Gahndi, 911, Martin Luther King, their dad or uncle or mom or sis in the services, or those who died in school shootings and other horrific acts of violence, please don't dilute the integrity, pride and honor of these people (post-humous and living) with contrite point-making arguments. They're all great people and great things to take pride in. No one can take your pride away -- least of all on an internet forum.

Would anyone who quoted Mad's page 1 please change it to his current post or delete whatever you quoted if it's no longer applicable? He has articulated himself in a much more clear manner and now you can see the true intent on his post (to make fun of me and say people join for ANY reason). We don't need someone stumbling on a quote he didn't mean and recycling this thread into a "hail mary" play.

Here's what he said.

people join the military for a lot of reasons, While sure, Some are just huge losers in highschool and think joining the military will make them cooler, see kistilan, others do it because they have nothing else to do with their lives, and some do it just because they are stupid and think they will defend america by killing some poor ****er in iraq. A lot of people in the military join because they feel it is their duty to their country, or that it is the honorable thing to fight for America's freedom and defend their way of life. Or because their fathers and fathers fathers were military so it is just a way of life. So it's really not fair to hate on people in the military, people join for all reasons, some noble some not.
