Afghanistan isn't a very nice place to be, even if it is your home. GMTA! I should have read yours before writing mine. Thank God for some sense. Do you think more or less Afghanis would be shooting at each other if we weren't there? Hard to say but my guess would be more. |

It strikes me that if the NRA was doing such a bad job for "us", harry and his hypocritical gun owner libs wouldn't be screaming so loud:) The "NRA" isn't doing anything for *us*, dumb****. And neither are the Marines in Afghanistan. The difference is that the Marines and other U.S. troops are dying for nothing in Afghanistan and the NRA just shoots off its mouth. Hey ESAD! ..........................ESAD |

To shoot up an elementary school in Afghanistan? Is that on a higher plane morally than shooting up an elementary school in Connecticut? To protect an elementary school, dummy! Your buddies, the Taliban, like to kill girls going to school, and their teachers. You need to get your head out of your ass, ESAD, FOAD, WAFL, or whatever you've decided to call yourself today. Sure hope you had a great Christmas day, yesterday. Nothing could be much more fun than being with the grandkids as they open their gifts. Of course, you probably did the same thing, so you know what I mean. Which of your few almost working synapses told you the taliban were my buddies? They're religious extremists, for whom I have no use. So, in your family, Christmas is a celebration of commercialism. How...tasteless. Christmas, as I've said, is, for all of us, a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. The exchanging of gifts is part of the way we celebrate. Why would you consider such a thing tasteless? What, in your opinion, is the proper way to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ? How do you do it, ESAD? What is your 'tasteful' way? |

Do you think more or less Afghanis would be shooting at each other if we weren't there? It's your boy who's keeping us there. Talk to him, ESAD. I've already sent two long letters to the White House to complain about the continuance of the war Bush lied us into, Herring. Each time, I received a nicely wordprocessed response. The only saving grace is that we will be out of Afghanistan on a date certain or earlier. If Romney had won, we'd be there forever and he would have gotten us into protracted shooting wars elsewhere, in order to keep the money flowing to the military/defense complex and to placate the right-wing warmongers that dominate his party. It's too bad we can't round up promilitary old farts like you and put you boys on point over there. |

The NRA does more than that, they are a high profit organization. They take the money that people are stupid enough to donate to them, and what they don't put in their own pockets, they bribe conservative law makers with. |

I don't celebrate christmas but I do understand its significance to believers. If I were a believer, I'd celebrate by praying and contemplating the teachings of jesus for a couple of hours and then by going out into the community at large and doing good deeds, such as working in a soup kitchen, delivering clothing and good cheer to the homeless, dropping off new toys at a woman's shelter, et cetera. You know, a sort of modernized version of what jesus said his followers should be doing. But of course you and most here who claim to be christians are christians in name only, and celebrate the birthday of your professed savior by shopping. |
