Would someone else please read this

http://usssamuelgompers.org/Saltysea.htm

and tell me if I'm wrong when I say it's

"Oh and that story was well written, the words and phrases were
straight out of the best tear jerker 'we died young and brave '
stories."

AND

"Damn, and he did it all in a monologue with flags waving in the
background."

AND

"What I was refering to that brought about your inane rant was that
the
story as told appeared a little embelished to achieve a particular
aim."

AND

"Sure did sound like one, a tear jerker."
"You didn't see that when you read it?
Hell I could 'hear' the voice. That guy that does all the Civil War
docos."


Hell I know Yanks speak a different version of English, but this
piece, though it may be true in every word (but I doubt it)
Is garbage, emotive garbage!!
In my very humble opinion!


Oz1...of the 3 twins.

Nothing humble about you OZ.

I think your right, that the underlying message is war sucks, and no
one likes dying with there guts in there hands. But people have, and
did it for the good off all. Seems to me you would rather run and hide
then stand up for whats right. You think you deserve the freedom you
have to paint your elementry like knock offs just because you were
born. Well you dont, you have your freedom because of the scrafices
your fore fathers made for you. They gave all so you can paint what
you want when you want, you have a freedom to do that because of what
other did for you. To bad you were not born in Iraq, you would off
been forced to paint pictures of Saddam, or perhaps you would of been
forced to make statues of saddam, and with the level of skill in your
painting saddams son oday would of kicked in your door and rapeed your
wife in front of you because saddam would not have been happy with
your ability. Sorta like the scoccer team deal. Until the good ol USA
steps in and put a stop to it. It's clear you do not understand what
it takes to stand up and stop evil. And it's clear your not willing to
do it for yourself, you would rather go with the flow.

So your saying that god created this world for folks like saddam,
hitler , stalin, ho chi man, ect. That might makes right and if no one
will stand up for what is right man must just crumble and bow down.
Well you go drink your drinks and party , and sail and do give a
second thought to the guys in Iraq, afganastan dying for freedom.
Enjoy yourself you self centered pompas ass.

Give me liberty or give me death!!!

it's an appeal to emotion which seeks to instill patriotic
feelings.

Good People will always fight for freedom, because there is always
going to be someone that wants to take freedom away.

You dont do painting very well either. Try to do something thats not
"after" someone else. It odvious your a follower and not a leader, it
shows clearly in your art. Perhaps you should just shut up break your
brushes and get out of the way of the real leaders, Bet your gonna cut
your ear off to show just how much of a true artist you are huh? Nah,
to much of a scarifice on your part, let the real artist do things
original, while you coast on and rip off there style without
contrubiting anything that is meaningful. Your a thief stealing other
styles and a thief given freedom because your not willing to honor
what others did for you. Most people understand Freedom is not free.
Most fell grateful for what others did. I guess Monet is just a hack
that your improving on his style huh, he was not worthy of your self
centered greatness.

I'm glad we agree on this.


But people have, and
did it for the good off all.

Every last one of them, in every single war?

You know virtually nothing about me, you moron.


You think you

You think you're a mind reader.

Fallacy of bifurcation. If I don't agree with one viewpoint, I must
therefore agree with the opposite? There must be only two viewpoints, then,
eh Joe?

That's debateable, but it's clear that you couldn't argue your way out of a
wet paper bag. The only objection I raised was the drum-beating crap that is
the manifestation of the US thinking it's the nationalised version of god on
earth.
