    But don't you think it dilutes and obfuscates the word `truth`? We don't get our own, that is the beauty of truth

    I think maybe you are making that out to be more than it is. I'd say it's really just a figure of speech, just a way of saying that was his belief.

    you certainly could be right, I just don't particularly care for the phrase...

    On a side note, has any native english speaker tried to get through a day with out using a figure of speech or idiom? it is almost impossible. It is a fun drinking game that is for sure.

    Safe to say this has been the least enjoyable Super Bowl fortnight ever.

    Pfft! I'll be watching the Puppy Bowl anyway.

    mike, your last comment reminded me of a scene from the Big Chill.

    I don't know anyone who could get through the day without two or three juicy rationalizations. They're more important than sex.

    Doesn't that just mean we are ahead of the curve? :D

    Or perhaps the journalists are among us.

    I believe someone once said "pics or it didn't happen". Not sure who.

    I watched this film last night. The psychological impact of war is too great. While everyone else seems to be walking away saying what a patriot he is, all I could see was the mental and emotional scars that were created that will never go away. Why are we ok with this? I can only think of two wars that America has ever been involved in which fighting for the common good made the sacrifice necessary. But not this war and certainly not this continued fighting for places that we can't fix.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    That's the $1,000,000 question riotgirl. It is very sad that people are ok with this war and that they actually want MORE war.

    Who is saying this war was necessary?

    We've got one guy in here that's calling for the dropping of a nuclear bomb on "them" and wiping "them" all out.

    The overwhelming majority are not okay with this war and do not want more war, badbrains.

    There's nothing wrong with telling one guys story as he saw it and Hollywood throwing in their two cents. I don't know why this movie struck a nerve with so many. It's just a movie. A real good movie. It's really irrelevant what your stance on war or snipers are. It's still just a movie.

    If you condone the actions of someone who volunteers to a conflict isn't that also condoning the conflict?
    Does it make sense to say, "I support the gangsters, but I don't support the gang"???
