k...let's all talk about me now :) ...jk

i'd swear on a bible...but i could just as easily swear on my soul...actually that would be tighter

Tdawnaz , you have made a good point there , same reason I declined the bible ,

alternative religions , only you can decide on that and be guided by your own feelings, the only other options I can see is Atheism , to me they seem to think they are  god themselves, and nothing else mater's ,

or paganism , that appreciate the beauty of the word and life but don't feel the need question deeper , or fight and feud with others ,

and just to lighten up a bit I am holding pagan baptisms at cost price for females , it involves lots of trees and bushes , and for only $100 USD you walk away with a certificate , ..............slowly ,  :grin2:

:lol: Tdawnaz don't encourage me Honey , Folk might start getting get suspicious  :lol:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :wink:,

hey this could be the start of a cinema block buster , "the American Beauty and the English F***wit ? , OK it was just an idea ?

oops sorry off topic " that should read "the patriotic American beauty "

hey guys nothing wrong with P A T R I O T I S M , nothing wrong with worrying about you country , and being proud of your heritage ,

maybe you think us Brits joke about it a bit too much , ? ,

well just try really pushing us , many have before , and come unglued in the process , it's just we know it is there when needed , and don't need to shout about it , just our cultural difference I guess ,

and certainly no insult intended from me ,

but there has to be some compremise made on both side if we are ever to break the chains of warring ,

Friends is the key word , we are all on this planet together , them and us , neither is going to leave , so in my view working together is the best way , sadly,  maybe not the easiest way , but then what's the option

So true the media being our own worst enemy. I have said and known that for years. It is done once the beheadings are done on live world wide web. But let a few prisoners be roughed up a bit, or embarrassed. Thats inhumane.  :tickedoff:

If we had only finished Iraq the first time we were over there there'd be a lot less aggravation and headaches from all of this. Plus a lot more decent oil prices.

I guess thats what we get for George SR. being a kind man who said lets draw the line, they have learned their lessons. Lets go home. ANd we were right outside of Bagdad already. "That was the travasty". For that we go back to right what we should have fini9shed the first time.

And yes we get blamed for defending the Muslim world. That is truly hilarious in my opinion. WHy because of some stupid radical group who hates the US.

:angry:

Were all Patriotic so please let this topic die. 

you know with 50000+ members a topic about this country will never die...its just people expressing themselves (intelligently or not) where others can see it. yet at the same time...they dont have to show who they are....  :wink2:  good idea really. but no this topic will probably not die..just my 2 cents...even though i only get a damn penny for my thoughts...where the hell does that extra cent go....  :-|:o

then how about...we stay stay away from the nastiness...let's keep it focused on patriotism...and stop the bashing...patriotism is about loving and supporting your own country...it's not about hating another country or another countries group of citizens...it's NOT about hate at all...

You might ask again? Honest. Our boys deserve all the attention and support they can get. In my opinion anyway. I know if I were there I'd want it. And all the boys I know think the same. Its the least we can do. I mean come on. It's not all the much just to care.

      :brave:      If I die before you wake...              :brave:

We are all to easy to forget them while were sitting here lookin through posts in our comfy seats not even thinking twice about our safety. Meanwhile some soldier is over there and just now fell to the ground from the blast of another RPG when he was standing guard.

So yea,   thanks Tommie.

This Picture is Worth   100 Million Words...

We truly take a lot for granted. Forget the football "heroes" and movie "stars".. Pass this on so that all may know the price of freedom

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,

Jesus Christ and the American Soldier

One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.

How can you NOT PASS this along, we all send dozens of jokes

i like the words...

but the photo is fake...

that mechanical arm is fake...way too long...his actual arm/hand is holding it...

  :shock:  I don't know, it appears as if he only has three fingers on the other hand..... if you zoom in, looks as if his face has been sewed up, and his eye is blind.

Try this out- educational and fun. 24 out of 30 is

considered to be a passing grade. It is said that 96% of all High School

Seniors FAILED this test..... AND if that is not bad enough, 50+percentof

all individuals over the age of 50 also failed.

Didn't know where to put it so I put it here.

        WRITTEN BY A KID IN SCHOOL - New Pledge of  Allegiance...

            Since the Pledge of Allegiance

            and

            The Lord's Prayer

            are not allowed in most

            public schools anymore

            Because the word 'God' is mentioned....

            A kid in Arizona wrote the attached

            NEW  School prayer.

            I liked it

            Now I sit me down in school

            Where praying is against the rule

            For this great nation under God

            Finds mention of Him very odd.

            If Scripture now the class recites,

            It violates the Bill of Rights.

            And anytime my head I bow

            Becomes a Federal matter now..

            Our hair can be purple, orange or green,

            That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

            The law is specific, the law is precise.

            Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

            For praying in a public hall

            Might offend someone with no faith at all.

            In silence alone we must meditate,

            God's name is prohibited by the state.

            We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,

            And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.

            They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.

            To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

            We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

            And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.

            It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,

            We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.

            We can get our condoms and birth controls,

            Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.

            But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

            No word of God must reach this crowd .

            It's scary here I must confess,

            When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

            So, Lord, this silent plea I make:

            Should I be shot; My soul please take!

            Amen

Not really, I made educated guesses on several of them, thats why i wanted to see where I was compared to the rest.

This is the perfect place for that Coknuck. Every bit of it is true and un biased.
