Two important things to remember when fighting depression.
1. There is always tomorrow. (unless you pull the plug)
2. It doesn't matter if there is a point to life, that question is unanswerable by fact and only belief can solve it and that you cannot prove in the logical sense. I believe there is a point, because I do.
3. No one is going to suicide here, talking about suicide is not suicide ideation.
I am a chronic chemical depressive, who has experienced an extreme period of hardship in a POW-like situation. If I didn't take my life then, you don't have my permission to quit on your life now. I experienced my confinement so that others might have a life of freedom and I have seen too many good men die for anyone to check out. Those men that died need people to live, if not for your sake, for theirs because the choice was taken from them when they were young. They believed in you even though they never met you, so much that they were willing to die for your chance. They are to me, the closest to God. A God who sent his son, like them, to die. In that dieing that you might believe that you are more worthwhile to God, than the suffering his son went through for us. (us = meaning you and me separately, it was done for us personally one at a time, we are just lucky it is a choice available to more than one person.) |

please explain to me the error of my ways so that i might correct myself and become an integral part of the" real" world as you have stated that i'm not a part of.
i have decided to pray, for you,cobblers2u, every time i have prayed for someone the effects have usually been immediate and dramatic.

You cannot correct your errors as you do not have any.
You should not be judged to the standards of others whom you may think superior (like me), for you are an individual and should make your own mark upon society.
"Live the Life" for yourself and be happy so that others can find pleasure in your happiness.
Do not, repeat, do not, join groups that try to manipulate your thoughts, for your thoughts will be as theirs. It is called Indoctrination, (cobblers school of antigrouping)
A saying taught to me by the great one, (Blast) is worth disecting and taking onboard.
"WHATEVER YOU WANT IN LIFE YOU ARE TRAINING FOR IT NOW"
Me, I want to be a SUPERSTUD. |

I aint quiting sunshine, I'm enjoying life to the full.
Whilst I find your actions commendable, you should note that the majority of Military personel involved in a war would rather be at home with their loved ones!
You go to War not to free others but because your governing body tells you to, you do not have an option, so don't get all sanctimonious.
There are many times more people against war than those fighting for it.
I am totally against shoving Democratic & Liberal views down the throats of those who wish to go down their own path in life, help them yes, annialate them no.

Cobblers2U, we fought the Cold War not the Hot War and after the 1970's we were all Volunteers. We followed the orders of our governement because we believed that was the best way to preserve our way of life for our famlies and loved ones. What is sanctimonious and presumptive is you telling me how me and my buddies felt and why I an they did it. Newsflash! The People most against war, are those who might lose their lives fighting it not the cowards who refuse to comprehend or accept risk of the moment to the greater risk of the future. |

COBLRES2U!!
YOU'RE GETTING OUT OF HAND WITH THE INFLAMATORY COMMUNICATIONS.
MAYBE YOU DON'T LIKE THE MILITARY, THAT'S OK .
BUT THERE ARE THOSE WHO MIGHT BE YOUR NEIGHBORS THAT MIGHT TELL YOU THAT IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE SACRIFICES MADE BY THE PREVIOUS GENERATION THAT YOU MIGHT BE SALUTING IN THE NAZI FASHION TODAY AND LIVING UNDER A TOTALITARIAN REGIME CALLED THE 4TH REICH.
NOW AS FOR ME, I SPENT MY 20TH BIRTHDAY AUG04TH1967 ON HILL 881, I AND APPROX 200 OTHER UNITED STATES MARINES DEFENDED THAT HILL AGAINST NORTH VIETNAMESE ARMY FORCES
THAT WERE SUPERIOR. WE DID IT OUT OF A SENSE OF DUTY!
WE TOOK AN OATH AND WE FOLLOWED A CODE OF CONDUCT.
I HAVE LOOKED INTO THE FACE OF A UNITED STATES MARINE AND WONDERED HOW IT WAS THAT HIS EYES WERE STILL IN HIS EYESOCKETS
THEN I JUST PICKED HIM UP TOOK HIM TO THE BATTALION AID STATION AND AS I WENT IN I ASKED THE BATTALION SURGEON WHERE HE WANTED ME TO PUT HIM AND THE DRS. FACE WENT ASHEN IN COLOR AND JUST SAID PUT HIM ON THAT GURNEY THERE.
AND THAT WAS THE LAST I SAW OF THAT MAN THE NIGHT OF JUNE 30TH 1967 INSIDE THE KHE SAHN PERIMETER THE TIME WAS 2345HRS LOCAL.
THE MEMORY IS INTENSE.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR HIS SACRIFICE THAT YOU AND OTHERS CAN DEPEND ON PEOPLE LIKE HIM
WHO WHEN WOUNDED SIMPLY LOOK UP OUT OF THE HOLE AND SAY " CLARKE, THEY GOT MY BEAK".
HIS NOSE AND ALL THE FRONT OF HIS FACE WERE GONE AND WE COULD NOT FIND ANY OF THE PIECES TO TAKE TO THE SURGEON TO SEE IF HE COULD SEW IT BACK ON.
AT 0530 IN THE MORNING ONLY A FEW HOURS LATER, THE NORTH VIETNAMESE ATTACKED AGAIN.
WHEN THE SUN CAME UP I WENT TO THE COMPANY OFFICE AND GOT MY ORDERS TO GO ON R&R.
I COULDN'T GET BACK TO THE UNIT FOR THIRTY DAYS BECAUSE THE NORTH VIETNAMESE WERE SHOOTING DOWN EVERY AIRCRAFT THAT WAS MAKING THE APPROACH TO THE KHE SAHN COMBAT BASE.
I THOUGHT I HAD IT BAD UNTIL I GOT BACK AND FOUND OUT WHAT HAD BEEN HAPPENING WHILE I WAS GONE.

I watched it day after day and thought what is this all for?
I also watched the newsreels and saw the millions of protesters as I have done with Iraq.
As to the German leader, was he not a charasmatic and a great leader in the begining? (JFK quote)
Would Europe have been a worse place under their rule? who knows?
All that I know is that millions of lives were needlessly lost (incuding my own family and I still hear the bombs dropping by the thousand)
If you dont fight they won't shoot you! but you then have the advantage of being able to remove them for they can not spot an enemy in non military clothing (Iraq 2004) |

By the way I am a great believer in the Military.
They should be there to defend our lands and people and I have more to do with the Military than your wildest imagination could muster.
Anyway you are all getting too hot under the collar, so having made my point I am abdicating. (told you I was a wind-up merchant earlier) |

One thing that has been puzzling me for many years with religion is the Ten Commandments.
Surely if you believe in the teachings then you follow them to the letter.
THOU SALT NOT KILL?
Who gave the killers permission to change the rules?
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR?
Who gave the racialists permission to change the rules and hate?
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL?
Who gave the land takers permission to change the rules?

First off your ignorance of the subject you talk about is showing, "Love thy neighbor is not part of the ten commandments." Before you lecture people on morality you should demonstrate some yourself. "Thou Shalt not Kill" is a mistranslation of the Hebrew word which meaning is more in line with "You shall not murder". A soldier is in lawful duty of his country and authorized to take the life of another, thereby it is not murder. Additionally, "Thou shalt not steal" is about property that you take from another. That is the difference between a Soldier and the criminal taking of a life. Land Taking has not been of interest of the United States or the UK for at least 50 Years. In June this year the lands of Iraq will go back to the victims of Saddam's Regime, the Iraqi People.
You must understand as well that Trolling (Pot Stirring) on this board is a violation of the Authorized Use Policy. If these are you beliefs that's fine but if your trying to stir up controversy then please stop it.

....... and, you will notice, the original poster baled out of this thread some time ago leaving otherwise contented people to fall out with each other over an issue that can never be resolved.

Who has mistranslated kill to mean murder?
It has got to be the rantings of a sect, turning to meet their own views.
Move the goal posts and you can score more goals.
And I was not refering to the military, you assumed that wrongly. I had governments in mind.
Point taken about the Wooden spoon, I will not antagonise you further.
I made my point, you made yours.
Sorry if I offended you, I thought you relasised what I was doing.
