I credit those in our government and armed services who took bold steps (outside the usual legal box that confines them) to protect our country. The war on terrorism is an unconventional war being fought by *illegal* combatants as defined by the Geneva Convention. If the terrorists are illegal combatants, then they're not guaranteed the protection granted to "legal" combatants by the Geneva Convention. Humiliation, insult, threats, and isolation are not "torture" anyhow. How the **** would you know? You're a 32-year-old dentist who has had the world handed to him on a silver platter. Ah, I would imagine that you need to refer to the said 32-year old individual as Dr. NYOB. Harry you are one ****ed on old fart that is jealous of anyone's and everyone's success in life. Jealous? Of a dentist? Heheehehe. Of course I am jealous of a Dentist. You work four or so days a week and you make a lot of money? Maybe in my next life I'll work a little harder in school. Well, Bertie, if you want to be jealous of a dentist, you go right ahead. |

Bert,
Not only is Harry upset about others success, he is so embarrassed about his life that he has to make up stories about an elusive Lobster Boat and his wife's education.

Bert, Not only is Harry upset about others success, he is so embarrassed about his life that he has to make up stories about an elusive Lobster Boat and his wife's education. Do you have any proof that he has lied about his wife, or his Lobster Boat, or is your life so embarrassing that you need to make up stories about other people? |
