Ed making the U.S a more dangerous place for you and I

"Its those marines and other armed forces branches that fight and die so that Ed can verbally criticize the leaders of the country he lives in."

If you seriously think that U.S. soldiers fight for freedom then you really need to open your eyes. The only thing threatening and controlling our freedom is our own government. Maybe in the past soldiers fought for freedom but can you explain how they are now? Also, I think people join the armed forces for their own benefit. And I do have a very good friend in the army right now.


Peace,

Its those great people that helped rescues victims of hurricane Katrina. Its those great people that keep our country safe ect ect.

It's those "great" people who repeatedly pointed an automatic weapon at me while I WAS TRYING TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS. They did nothing but cause trouble and chaos down there. They stood around and threatened starving and dying people. Don't talk about shit you don't know.

I agree. I think people join up because the love and care for their country not the morons that run it.

People join for a lot of different reasons. The patriotism, the pay, the lack of other options, the tradition, etc. But nobody is going to want to join a military that is used recklessly and without second thought because nobody wants to be deemed collateral damage and only be seen as another body on the ground. And I said before, the military discriminating against certain groups of people is only contributing to the fact that there's not enough soldiers.

the whole educate yourself comment on these forums is really fucking old. I too support the troops but not the war or the leaders who start the shit. To question my education is low. I not once have insulted YOURS or anyone else for their opinion or beliefs but people people here are so damn closed minded they dont care about anything except for what they believe. I have not tried to change anyones mind, I just posted a thought. Not once have I called ed a "dumb fuck" Man its scary that someone cannot post a thought or an opinion with out such a harsh backlash from people. For the ladies and gents who have discussed respectfully thank you. For those who have to insult, cuss, and demean people I truly am sorry that the topic has angered you, not my intentions. Take care.

You started a thread with a statement of: Ed making the US a more dangerous place for you and I.

There is no better place for an "Educate yourself" comment then right there, because that is the stupidest thing I have read in a really long time.

You could have just as easily said, I am concerned with what Ed said at a show I was at or something not so insulting to Ed, but no, you made your statement now deal with it!

As for what's old, I'll give you my opinion on what is getting old. People judging ED! People feeling like their opinion matters when it comes to what someone else does in their life, like ED, that's REALLY getting fucking old.

You made your comment to ruffle feathers, and then act all insulted when someone's feathers actually got ruffled, so really go .... ........! :(

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh

Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

[Chorus:]
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We'd blister in the sun
We couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll

While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
And think man I'd love to see that girl again

[Repeat Chorus x2]

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Completely uncalled for with the "fuck you" comment. Its people like you that make things like peace practically impossible with the whole you dont think like I do so fuck off. Grow up. And you call yourself a fan of a band that promotes love and peace. I wonder if Ed ever stumbles on to the forums? I bet if he did posts like yours make him want to throw up. Simmer down tiger. No need for all the hatin.

How about threads like the one you started, what do you think Ed would think about that?

At least acknowledge that the title of this thread is poor. and that the size of the army does not dictate safety(look for my first post for explanation).

I have acknowledge the title is poor. I do it again. Sorry every one the title i chose for this post is misleading and was a poor choice. I do how ever believe the more troops we have the safer we are in some aspects and bad in others.

I'm sorry so many people have told you to fuck off, including me. You just can't insult Ed that way, and not expect to get attacked.

We lose freedoms every single day, while at a war that we don't acknowledge so that we can protect our freedom. The US is fucking nuts! I agree with the poster from Finland. We are a joke to the rest of the world, and it's getting worse every single day.

And if that doesn't matter to you, well that's the real problem, IMO!

I love my country, I hate it's leaders!

Well if you would take the time to "educate yourself" you would have seen 2 of my replies where I stated the title of the thread was a poor judgment and that i regret posting that as a title. I tried to change it, but the changes only show in my 1st thread not the title on the porch main. I did not write this to ruffle feathers. I wrote it because it was something on my mind and I didn't think so many would have so many terrible things to say about the subject and myself. And a simple "I dont agree at all with you" would of done just fine. I would have gotten the point. There is no need to tell me to "fuck off". All I am doing is what Eddie does every show and that is to speak my thoughts. I dont disagree with what he said I just disagree while having them removed. Would tell Ed fuck off if he said something you disagree with, I think not. It makes no sense to me that people applaud Eddie for speaking his mind, speaking out, and sharing his opinion but as soon as some one opposes or has different ones than he does out come the fuck offs. You can tell some one to fuck off by hearing ONE of his beliefs or feelings on a subject?? ONE thought, ONE belief. So unless every person you meet agree with every one of your beliefs FUCK THEM? Man I bet if we met you would find me to be a general nice person. Its a shame you make that assumption based on 1 statement. How ever if that is how things are I am cool with that and can only hope you could see that I am a decent person and do not deserve to be told "Fuck Off"
As for the the second quote i truly ed wouldn't have a problem with some one saying an honest opinion about what he says. Considering he promotes that all the time.
Again I did not mean to offend but if I did I truly am sorry. Maybe I should of not posted it on here. But I thought given what Pearl Jam stands for it would of be tolerated in a mature respect manner.

I do agreed.

Its a bit sad the attitude you have recieved a lot of abuse for your thread
sure I dont agree with your view on this subject and stated my thoughts on page 2. but really do we really need all of this angst against somebody who shared their opinion.
By sharing our thoughts/ ideas we can all grow.
people who want to tell others to FUCK off for sharing their thoughts are more narrow minded than GWB and his cronies.
you defend Ed for expressing his right of opinion but abuse this person for the same thing
SAD :(

what you needed was donald rumsfield letting the generals planning their wars instead of a carreer pencil pusher like don- he is the sole reason Iraq went to shit.
The Us could have done the job properly instead of the light mobile infantry that rummy wished for, pressed for and got.

Yes I have learned that very quickly, lol. But you have to admit that some people just go to far. Ed constantly urges people to speak their mind and challenge things you believe in, even if it differs from his opinion. I just question one of the mans actions. I love EV and PJ. I think Ed would be happy to have one of his fans speak their mind just as he does. Not hard feeling.....all love

see I reckon Ed would love to sit down and discuss this sort of stuff, If you sit down with a bunch of people who believe exactly what you believe what will you learn. NOTHING
Ed seems to be an intelegent searching soul, an opertunity to get into somebodies head and the chance for somebody to get into yours is a great learning oppertunity

The main reason I opened this thread was to tell you that your subject is wrong. It should be "a more dangerous place for you and me." Not you and I. If you take out either the you or the I, the sentence still has to make sense, and the way it is written you would not say "a more dangerous place for I." I have seen and heard so many people doing this lately, it's like it's getting worse. People think they are being fancy and correct saying "I" instead of me and they just sound like morons. "Give your money to John or I." Stuff like that.

I know, I'm a dork.

Find the fault!

..here's A Place In

Ed doesn't make the US a more dangerous place for you and I, unless he is buying enriched uranium again on ebay under his codename Zion.
Michael Jackson on the other hand... deserves a thread like this.
