Elaborate. Naisho offered examples. Let's see yours. Or are you just typing empty words again?

If they were created perfect, then they would have remained perfect.

jillio

Yep, and still funny today.

jillio

I'm stating that officers demonize and dehumanize. It is a practice that is engaged in in every war.

jillio

Now how could you possible know that? Someone come back and tell you?

jillio

Narcissism and overblown self importance.

Sunshine

I bet I can guess...Bible say so!

Cheetah

People do this to an extent in cars as well, it leads to road rage sometimes. It's a way of seeing yourself as having more worth than another thus allowing yourself to be superior to another. I've seem my parents come close to doing this a couple of times (not in the car, with religion). That's when I speak up in support of the person they are... looking down on. My Dad doesn't see it, but my Mother knows and she always says how proud she is of me after I do that. Parents are funny.

I don't think I ever read it. I should read them.

I had one atheist put me down because I celebrate holidays with religious history like Christmas. I don't go to church but holidays are a great way to get together with family and friends.

Be sure to sweep that dust up when you're done. God thinks slovenly behavior is abominable.

jillio

You can celebrate the secular aspects of any holiday.

Cheetah

I'm not Jewish, but I do celebrate several Jewish holidays with my friends.

jillio

Nothing wrong with that.

Reba

You do realize that those people are basically one inbred family? I would hardly call that any kind of a movement.

They've protested here in the Lowcountry several times, and they get no support from this community.

For the record, TCS and I actively work against the Westboro protests. We are active members of the Patriot Guard Riders, and we attend military funerals, memorials, flights that bring in the remains of our fallen heroes, military send offs and returns, Honor Flights, Wounded Warrior events, etc. We stand in Flag lines, and ride as escorts, to honor our fallen heroes, and to shield the mourners.

jillio

Do you also support gays?

Sunshine

I was just come ask same question, jillio!

Reba

The armed services are also charging, prosecuting and convicting those who participate in murders, atrocities, and other wartime offenses.

TCS and I were discussing this. He said that even during the Vietnam era, his senior officers (including former POWs) never held GMT's or assemblies where they tried to demonize or dehumanize the enemy. He never heard any such stories from shipmates, either.

Those who did commit atrocities were often people who were acting out their own psychological problems, personality defects and prejudices.

Reba

That's a broad question. Are you asking about me personally, or about the PGR? Support them in what way?

Sunshine

You personally, Miss I march for troops...you support their basic rights same all other people?

jillio

Yeah, teach them to do it, and then prosecute them. Nice.

jillio

No broader than your claim to support the armed services.

I'm asking about you personally. Some of those soldiers you are supporting are no doubt gay.

Sunshine

My brother My just return Afghanistan soon get married very gay brother.

kokonut

Ok.

Reba

Is there some reason why you have to be rude when asking a question?

Is there any reason I should reply to your rudeness?

I absolutely do not support the message or actions of the Westboro "church."

I don't support and bullying, name calling, assaulting, or threatening of homosexual people.

I don't know what you consider basic rights, so you'll have to be more specific in how you phrase your questions, and less rude in how you introduce them.

Sunshine

Same rights you think straight people should have. Rude or otherwise.

Reba

I guess you didn't pay attention when I said that they don't normally teach them that.

If they did, why didn't those charged with crimes use that in their defense actions?

Besides, how could that be going on under our most ethical Commander in Chief ever?

jillio

Sure they don't Reba. All those returning war vets with PTSD are just lying about it all in order to get free psych meds.

Last I checked, he wasn't on the front lines.

Reba

If by basic rights you mean those civil rights enumerated and guaranteed to us by the U.S. Constitution, then I support that. I support and defend the Constitution.

But what does that have to do with the Westboro protests against our military dead?

Sunshine

Not know US Constitution.

Just think is weird where some people draw lines is all. Won't call gay person faggot but will call them subhuman by not allow marry. Arbitrary. Wrong. Sad.
