Well I'm way down south anyway, and I don't even OC in public. I'd gladly call the state legislature and/or law enforcement on behalf of anyone who gets hassled from them though.

I, for one, am glad that I was lucky enough to be born in America. I think that America is the best place to live in the entire world. If I ever change my mind, I am free to leave. That's part of why I like it.
While I agree with you, even if they were advanced enough to have an army, I still would not agree with it. It is sickening to me to fathom something like that happening here. Guess what...this is an OC site. One of the recently aired footages of a chopper taking out some people showcased our troops justification for doing so. Someone was OC'ing. So they lit them up and killed them all.smttysmth02gt wrote:mcdonalk wrote:Why the hell would you want to support people who are killing innocent people?

You need to remember that we are not fighting another army. Have you ever seen a military uniform over there? I'll answer that for you. NO! You've seen police, but no military. "why not" you ask? because we invaded these people and are killed them. We are killing the people! If a country invaded the U.S. and was marching the streets taking control, don't you think every person in America would be outside shooting back? Yeswe would! That is what is going on over there! We need to pull out and leave them alone.
I just thought I'd put my .2 cents in.
There is the problem. A weapon is used for protection and many see it as a sign of violence. I'm a calm, non-violent person... but I OC a pistol. I guess I need to be shot as well.

That is what I am saying. What happens if these same troops come home and are called to duty HERE because of some kind of disaster or something. People say "it won't happen here" and what not, but I honestly thing they are desensitized and see no difference in people, or any value in human life. Not saying this about ALL troops, just the ones killing people for invalid and sometimes NO reason.smttysmth02gt wrote:There is the problem.

That's what they call "marshal law". During hurricane Katrina, they took away peoples weapons. WHY? So the looters, robbers, rapists, etc. have easier targets? So sad...Hollowpoint38 wrote:That is what I am saying. What happens if these same troops come home and are called to duty HERE because of some kind of disaster or something.

Because they volunteered to protect our country. Sadly, once they are in the military they are expected to follow orders. Those orders come down from the politicians that "We the People" elected. I will not condemn a soldier for what "We the People" have allowed to happen. [ETA: And I will not condemn them for not wanting to risk their lives for refusing to follow orders.]mcdonalk wrote:Why the hell would you want to support people who are killing innocent people?
