You have in the past and continue to post things of truculence and I am simply calling it into question. My opinion of you, based on such posts, is not an attack, it's an observation. Perhaps I was a bit harsh in expressing that and for that I am sorry.JUST A GIRL said:
Now it's a personal attack. You're saying how you don't like me. All I did was ask a question.HesCalledDyer said:
Oh for goodness' sake. Get over yourself. No one is bullying you. You made an idiotic remark and you always post combative material. I'm not bullying you, I simply don't like you because you always post stupid crap like this. If anyone is guilty of bullying, it's you. You are ALWAYS combative. I'm just calling you out on it.JUST A GIRL said:
Please don't start with the bullying. I'm not spewing shit, I asked a question.HesCalledDyer said:JUST A GIRL said:Did this even happen?
The shit that the two of you consistently spew on here baffles me. Why do you have to be such contrarions??PJfanwillneverleave1 said:The OP who has questions after watching band of brothers and admits they live in a bubble and has been untouched by such horror is subject to big-boy questions.
Now I've been bullied (by claiming I spew shit) and then attacked saying how you don't like me. That's not following the posting guidelines and hurts my feeling. This always seems to happen on Sunday, the lords day when I have my Christian Rock tunes on and am enjoying spending time proclaiming my love for God and Jesus.
I'll ask again, please don't personally attack me or my faith.
There was no mention of your faith anywhere at any time so I'm not sure why that was brought up. What a person believes in has no bearing on how I see them. I would never question you for that. I believe in upholding a person's right to freedom of religion.

My faith is brought up because religion = war. That's what you said. And I said please don't insult Christians on my day of worship, Sunday.
That's why it's being discussed.
Remember that it was the Romans in the midst of their own holy war that decided to crucify Jesus due to not agreeing with his beliefs. Don't do the same thing.0 -

JAG, when people say that they don't like you, it isn't an attack. It is just how someone feels. I'm sure that there are plenty of people on here that you don't care for. When you ask a question and people are asking for clarification, you think it is an attack. It is not an attack. They are asking for specifics.
No religion was brought up until you had at this point.
God and Jesus are totally my people, but my book about them doesn't tell me to bait, attack and jump up and down in a tantrum.
May peace be with you and in your soul. I think that AMT is not a peaceful place for you. I think it makes you anxious and angry. May the Lord guide you to where He feels you can best use the talents He gave to you and feel the peace and love in your heart that He intends you to.2014: Cincinnati

Peace indeed, deadend! It will forever affect - and sometimes humble - me, how strongly intent and energy come through words and a SCREEN.
But, it does. For better (in so many cases right here on these boards) or worse (sparsely).
And, I guess lack of response to a simple, direct question is a response in itself.0 -

OP, sorry the thread got a little off hand for a moment. The thoughts and questions you raise are often things I think about as well. Why the world is still full of people who are bound by greed, militance, self-absorption, & self-righteousness is beyond me. By expressing your thoughts, I understand you may not necessarily be looking for answers. But expression and wonder are great ways to find others who question the same things.
Perhaps we'll never know the answers. But it is always good to raise the questions. And you'll be met with resistance, but don't let that deter you.
Sometimes I wonder if people really believe some of the things they say and do. Not just on a silly little band forum, but all over the world. It's really scary if they do because those types of people - the contrarions, trolls, etc - are the obstructors of progress. But the fact there are people like you in the world who question these types of people and their actions means there is always hope for the better!
Dignin, you make a very excellent point about wealth & power being the reasons for war and the use of religion & nationalism as a veil to justify the those reasons. I think a lot of us get caught up in the religion=war argument but I'm having a hard time buying that as well. The few religions I have any knowledge of all have messages of peace and selflessness, which are the opposite of war, power, & negative influence. I believe you are onto something here and it makes for great discussion.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250 -
There's too much to comment on in this thread. OP, Band of Brothers is one of the best things I've ever seen on TV. And how do you even think about talking about war - it's such a vast, unexplainable thing. I'm reading a book called KL: A History of Nazi Concentration Camps and it's great, but really difficult reading.
My dad fought in WWII. That really happened, btw. He was in the Pacific prepping for the invasion of Japan when they dropped the bombs.
This is long, but it's part of a letter from my dad to his mom, dated April 27, 1945. He's in Manila.
"The trip to the city was enlightening in as much as it gave me a first hand picture of the destruction wrought thru total war. You’ll never have the real picture until you’re actually in the midst of it. It’s a god damn mess that hurts and then makes you mad. Try to picture the block of the Schenley Apartments [where his family lived in Pittsburgh] multiplied by several more blocks just like it, a mass of shattered rubble. Sections blasted completely away, others just shells with gaping holes, while in the midst just for incongruity a small Spanish styled residence, walled in and entered thru a wrought iron gate that opens into a lovely patio garden full of luxuriant growth and the usual naked babies which would have been squirting water if the city water system had been running, scattered thru it. All of this was untouched except for one hole in the wall. To the right as you entered was the resident itself while on the other side of the patio were the stables. One of our platoon CPs was housed there – the EM [enlisted men?] quartered in the stalls – tiled with oaken, hand carved swinging doors, while the officers were upstairs in the servants’ quarters – tiled, fresh toilet, etc. The servants’ kitchen served as a message center and switchboard set up. God makes us thankful for little things."
