Quote:And that's why slaves still today work themselves to death, or work in jobs and places that cut their lives short. so you and people like you can pretend to be better men than your grandfathers.-and yet here I remain in opposition to slavery, sub standard wages, and substandard working conditions...whilst you defend them and claim their necessity (regardless of how idiotically you've defined them). I don't really know whether or not I'm a better man than my grandfather (or yours)........but I know enough about you to make a comparison.
Quote:Is it worth it? is your self righteousness/The right you take from your position, to look down at me worth the lives of the men women and children who work in the shadows to provide you with you way of life?I take my right to look down upon you from your own comments, nothing else. You can no more competently defend yourself in this regard than you can defend your god, and so, instead, you babble ceaselessly about the flaws of others...real or imagined.....just as you do for god.
Quote:For me the answer is no. EVEN If it means I get labeled 'evil' by those who live by the rules of pop culture. To me that does not sound like an unfair cost.For you the answer is that it's necessary, and that many depend upon it, that god allows it, and that all moral systems are insufficient and irrelevant to it. Or had you forgotten? I have to ask, are you now attempting to paint yourself as being compassionate, or in opposition to those things which you've spent page after page defending? Do you think anyone will buy it, after all of that?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
