Vincey-
Your NY POST article;
1.) When you go into combat I'll give your movietone news opinion some more weight.
2.) All those guys are talking about disobeying orders. IE, no second chances? What does that mean, exactly, killing people who you capture? And the Doc who wasn't sure he'd treat the Iraqi wounded? These aren't CRAZY motherfuckers, they're soldiers telling the press they either intend to disobey orders. Sure they can feel like this. Their THERE. For them it's not a movie. But if they act like this, they are bad at being American soldiers.

"I'm sorry that I went out with a black woman, Massa Maxie."
It' not her race I found incredable. It's your compulsion to mention it, and the idea that you dated a beautiful woman that struck me odd. But you nailed me about the missegenation thing. I think it's repulsive. Anyway, that's what they taught me at Bob Jones.

I'm pleased you have no problem with the word "Pussy". I don't find any word at al 'out of bounds' per se. I just find the words people use, especially the ones they use frequently, reveal something about their character. Stupid fag.

"Why don't you go off and get into a group, a brotherhood which fights for each other and to protect each other."
I'm not so big on groups. Why don't you? Oh, I forgot, until you can command nuclear submarine your just letting the options pile up.

"Now, what would the great Christ-like Max do?"
There's only one way I'm Christ like and it isn't a beard or sandals. Here's what I wouldn't do. Muttilate the corpse and send a piece of it to his parents, who are probably pretty miserable all ready. Last I checked medical science that doesn't bring other people back from the dead, and it also fucks up the people who do it. I'm glad you imagine you have the sack to cut off someones head. It's nice to feel good about yourself. I hope that as bad as I'd certainly feel, I'd let the rule of law take care of the matter since that's one of the main things I'd be fighting for. This murderer will almost cerrtainly get the death penalty. I'm sorry lethal injection doesn't give you as big a hardon as tattooing a decapitated head.

So, one of the thinks you'd be fighting for is the right to lynch someone as long as you were good and sure at the time you'd got the right guy? Say, Naldo, chime in, is this what you meant when you started talking about "What America Stands For" Your think that as long as a murder takes place within a brotherhood, Judges, Juries, due process, all the stuff that separates us from Iraq should pretty much go out the window. The America for you fantasize about fighting for is just the biggest, baddest , marauding tribe?
Telll me this, what if, when your all reved up and ready to avenge your brothers, what if a commanding officer told you to stand still and shut up?

"I swear Max, you are such a bleeding heart whiny ass bitch it isn’t even funny."
I'll take that as a compliment. I guess you'd like it if I said you're a primitive vicious animal, but you're not. Your just some guy getting himself all lathered up in an action movie dreamworld. You're an imaginary badass dreaming of exotic ports of call and loose women and righteous fury and bodies piling up at your feet. You're an idiot. Worse yet, you're an accident waiting to happen. You're the kind of guy who's buddies end up fragging him before his ridiculous antics get them all killed.

I liked your whole rape metaphor. It was really great, absolutely paralell to the war in Iraq and made a a strong point. I think that's totally what I'd do. One thing though. You kind of bring up rape more than most people. It's like the whole 'pussy' as insult thing. It's kind of on your mind more than it ought to be.

Oh, wait, it's not paralell at all. Becuase, see, I would help her. And if I helped the woman being raped, there's not much of a chance I'll fuck up and kill a whole bunch of people in the apartment building next to her. And there's mnot much chaance that by helping her I'll establish an international precedent regrding the use of force. But apart from that, yeah, a rape of a woman and a war are pretty much the same.

"Me, on the other hand, would be over there in 3 seconds, even it if cost me my fucking live to help out someone who is going to be brutally violated. "
I'm glad you know that. Me, I hope I would, but since life isn't a movie, I might also wet my pants in terror if the guy was, you know, bigger than me nd armed. But hey, I'm a pussy. Your a big, tough, formerly fat guy who's in shape and tan and ready to command a nuclear submarine and borderline psychotic. Listen, the next time you fight crime, batman, get back to me about what you would and wouldn't do. Until them, roll it up into a cone, butter the end and stick it up your formerly fat ass.

"The last time I checked, in all our arguments the only thing you did to try to show you even had a fucking INKLING of compassion for the Iraqi people is to put on your pimp outfit and whore the children out."

is that what you were doing when you talked about driving spikes through the heads of Chinese Slave traders who'd kidnapped children? Putting on the pimp outfit and whoring the children out?
I mean as metaphors go, that's really sweet. Sort of wholesome in a Normal Rockwell kind of way. Jeeze, put that together with your raape metaphor, your decapitation fantasies, the whole slightly sweaty brotherhood thing and the 'pussy' infatuation, and I'm getting a picture of a really likeable guy. Seriously, you're what's great about America. Savage, fanatical, meanspirited and yet inactive.

"HOW MANY KURDISH CHILDREN DIED BECAUSE OF HIS GASSING, MAX?"
Wht you mean while W. and his dad played golf? While the first Bush administration denied it had happened when we sold the Kurds out last Gulf war? See, for about ten years now, the Kurds have lived in a semi auutonomous state protected by our soldiers who bombed Iraqis entering the no fly zone, and all this without a declaration of war. Now, though, Turkey says it's going to enter northern Iraq whether we like it or not, preemptively, to protect their security. I wonder where they got that argument, those swell allies of ours. But don't worry. The Turks are known for treating the Kurds with Kid gloves. But it's allright you don't worry bout that, because when you brought up Kurdish kids, you were just putting on a pimp outfit and whoring them out, right?

"HOW MANY WOMEN ARE STRUNG UP DURING THEIR MENSTRUAL CYCLE BY FLAG POLES TO BE HUMILIATED? "
I don't know, how many? I don't have a source for this. Is it similar to the number of women beaten and killed and made to dress in bags in Afghanistan during the time when we actively supported the Taliban and sent them huge buckets of money for reducing the opium trade? Or where you just whoring out Iraqi Women along with Children? Our ally India has this nasty hbbit of setting women on fiure. It's a tradition! Oh, say, you'll like this, if a woman from Africa seeks asylum in the good ol USofA becuase her folk want her to hve a clitterectomy, you know where John Ashcroft is going to put her while the paperwork gets done? A JAIL CELL! Boy oh boy, the women of the world must be so relieved to have your support, Captain AmeriVince!

"HOW MANY WOMEN HAVE BEEN RAPED IN THE RAPE ROOMS BY HIS PROFESSIONAL RAPISTS, MAX?"
Three rapes in a single sentence. Time to squeegee your monitor, Vince. First of all, just for the record, I think rape is bad. I'm four square against rape. But how many, Vince? Do you actually know anything about this or are you just typing in caps 'cause its fun? Amnesty international keeps excellent statistics on torture, and I think you'll find Iraqs record is Appalling. But keep reading. A lot of the coalition of the Willing have pretty appauling records to. This isn't why were going there. We're A-Okay with countries that torture folks. That's where we send prisoners of war when we want to find out what they know. If Iraq played ball with us, we wouldn't give a fuck what they did to women.

"You have no right to judge my character! I am a better man than you will ever fucking amount to."

I'm rubber, your glue. You have no idea what kind of man I am, and sadly, you have no idea what kind of man you are either.

"You have no convictions,"
Actually I do. I'm firmly convinced your are an awful, awful person with some seriou problems. If I had no convictions, I'd never bother adressing you. As for my balls, that's another thing you show way too much interest in.

I'm sorry, I don't have the time right now to respind to the rest of that coniption fit passing as a post. I'll get back to you.
