I specifically waited until after the game started to go on a bike ride. Less traffic! 👍🏼 Are we both going to hell? |

Hahaha! My deepest fantasy is to go to a NASCAR event and be the one to start a “USA! USA!” chant, then square up the guy screaming his head off next to me, and start screaming in his face, “USB! USB!”
Alas, my plan is not to die by a mob of racist monkeys.

I'm sure it'll take all of 2-3 minutes for you to hear the phrase "you ain't from around here are you boy?" |

Good point. With the face I have, it’d probably take less time than that.

At this point those fuckwits are the minority just like the "Football" fans that think Roseanne grabbing her crotch and spitting after the anthem is a true Murikan hero but Colin is scum. |

I could go on for hours, or pages, about this. I'll leave it at this: as a Vietnam-era veteran, every time someone says to me "thank you for your service," I ask "Why? For aiding and abetting mass murder you're thanking me?"

Yes, I think many of us can go on for many hours on these topics. I want to be able to thank warriors who defend me and us. I WANT to pay taxes. But not when 50+% of it goes to war efforts, precious little of which is about spreading equality, justice, or democracy. And who’s to say democracy as we do it is even a superior system or that we’re entitled to “spreading it” in the first place?
I do have a thank you to you SOSS, specifically related to your time in the military. Well first, I’m sorry. I have never known war, don’t ever want to. And also, thank you for having a critical mind.
Edit: I changed the incorrect auto of “*drive* in the military” to *time*. Clarifying this because dilacerated quoted that prior to my correction.

For aiding and abetting mass murder you're thanking me?" My father in law went and joined right up. He's a "Conservative" and 100% on every war the right-wing regime in this country has wanted to involve itself in but running the Republican/Russian puppet line about Ukraine. From day one I was told never ever ask him about his time in Vietnam. I just don't get it. I also don't get how 1. people are moved by the depiction of a Vietnam vet suffering from SHELL SHOCK (I refuse to call it PTSD) and laying the smack down on some hokey pokey backwoods police that behave almost like his captors did in Rambo First Blood but 2. don't see how their jerking to subsequent films is insane considering they are a total advertisement for how awesome the US military is and how the US can do no wrong. Not to mention how many of these people now take the John Rambo physique and apply The Donald's head on such... So gross. |
