He is just pissed off b/c ppl called him on something.

Vivi..face it..your age has shown in numerous serious topics..its nothing to get pissed off or offemded by. You will see as you get older.

Now un-twist the panties as boz said. Its not doing much for you.

ok so maybe age has a little bit to do with things but it doesn\'t mean I\'m always wrong about things.  I\'m mostly pissed because people were putting words in my mouth.  Don\'t say nobody was.

If you present yourself in a certain manner, that is how you will be perceived.

That has to be one of the most screwed up things I\'ve ever read.  I feel sorry for that guy.

Vivi is right.. we should be glad we don\'t have to deal with the kinda crap 3/4\'s of the rest of the world has to. But ya know what.. we DON\'T have to deal with it.. whereas we do have to deal with things like this. The point of civilization is to keep progressing and improving on ourselves. Just because there\'s worse things out there, doesn\'t mean we can jus ignore smaller problems either. It\'s not right these guys are having to pay child support for children that aren\'t theres.. and just because some lil afghani kid half a world away is starving to death dosen\'t mean this guy over here should keep paying for some other dude\'s kid.

Let\'s fix the problems we\'re faced with, instead of saying "F*ck it.. we can ignore the problems cause at least we\'re not as bad off as those poor SOB\'s."

Age has a lot to do with it. I see nothing offensive in saying that your age allows you to have a naive view on the world and current situations, like this one.

We all have ben young at one time and had those same naive views, such as "ah, that doesn\'t effect me" or "it isn\'t that big of a deal".

All I said was as you mature you\'ll gain more experience about the real world and what things do honestly effect people. Things like this are a big deal  and you may realize that when you\'re 23 and maybe paying child support.

And while it may sound like I don\'t agree with you - I do to an extent. We are lucky that we don\'t have to deal with certain things. But those things that we do have to deal with are important.

If this was a women this was happening, OH GOD this would be all over the news, god forbid something like this happen to a women they\'d have women rights activists all this shizit. This country sometimes makes me wonder why if we are so free in a sense that it is always not that way.

Yeah, you\'re so right. I can\'t do that here. :crying:

Oh wait, I can. And I don\'t even have to worry about being sued because some lardass thinks he can make millions on abusing the legal system.

Why did that deserve 3 rolleyes? I was just stating why some people would be tricked into believe all Americans are ignorant bastards who doesn\'t know anything about anything (except McD perhaps). I know that\'s not true, but statements like ViVi\'s sure aren\'t helping.

Well, that\'s fine and all (since the US is the only superpower left) if they\'re also taught that other countries are actually up there with the US on a number of points - like health, technology, welfare, freedom and so on. And then there are countries like Afghanistan, which are good... for us to poop on! ;)

You\'re right... But what would you expect from having 1 grandpa and a grandma in the air force , a brother from the marines, and another grandpa from the Navy.  I still have them ask what me part of the military I\'m going to join.
