What was that about defending rapists again?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

I don't know. I enjoy posting my blog posts on forums. I don't make them too often, but this is one I made recently.

Ah, I see. I didn't realize it was a blog post ... That explains the length.

IDK, I think it collapses in a truly astonishing way at the end...when we're told that we're responsible for all the morals we construct (wait a minute....) but that we should reject them, while accepting all of the other shit as part of being human.....but wouldn't that also be the case with our habit of constructing morals, or..for that matter, of any human nature?
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!

Don't feel bad about the length, Wisdom.

I've never been accused of brevity, I couldn't be succinct if my life depended upon it,
ask anyone here.

I get this sort of response all the time:

Well thank you. It is a blog post though, after all. I just copied it from my blog.
