Despite what parents tell you, lying is good.

Texans...

Why is that?

Mock me if you want, but when I'm 80 I'll be a lot less scared of death than you will.

Again, just expressing my views. No need to get all worked up. I think you're mistaking my not succumbing to your point of view as arrogance. Anyway sorry if I upset you.

I believe in an afterlife, not heaven or hell, but an afterlife. That whole "not being able to destroy energy" thing has me convinced. Plus other things which I won't disclose.

lol nope, I just dare to have opinions that differ from repiV.

People seem to think that by "family" I mean exclusively parents. In Cyrus's case, this was true, however some soldiers are leaving spouses and children behind. To do what they "think is right" and "fulfill themselves". Well boys, it's time to stop playing with guns and grow the f*** up.

You know, I never thought I would end up being one of those parents that said "in my day we didn't have this or this, think yourselves lucky" because I thought the technology we had growing up was pretty awesome - dial up internet, now-retro game consoles and Windows 95. But now, looking at this...

My God one of them was still alive in 2009?

I know it wasn't your intention and we never once interacted, but thanks for agreeing with me in the war thread.

Well whatever, it doesn't upset me, he's gone and while it's sad, he's certainly not my hero. Anyway I've had enough now... the argument has become so much bigger than my original point. R.I.P Cyrus.

Huh? What are you on? Noone stopped him from doing anything... he went, he's dead, go Cyrus. I'm just sharing my opinion.

Well again, go find Cyrus's family and tell them that. It may make them feel better. I think you're mistaking me. You're making me out to be all "I hate soldiers" and I don't. I'm glad they're out there, I recognise the need for an army and I'm grateful to be speaking English instead of...

Oh stop it, you know what I mean.

I don't understand how my reasoning implies this about death itself. But if a person puts himself/herself into a situation that they KNOW could kill them, then that is absolutely selfish.

Lets forget about the need for the army on a national and global scale for one moment. My point is that the decision by each individual to enlist in the army is inherently selfish because they are putting their families through anguish to either go get their cheap thrills, or else because of...

I guess we have very different ideas about what constitutes an achievement. Anyway, go tell this to his family, who is living with the consequences of what he did.

In the final letter I was sort of waiting for the sad bit to come and make me cry but it never did. It is sad that he died though. I never really feel sad for the people in the army - I mean, how stupid do you have to be to enlist in the first place? People see it as an act of bravery, but in...

Jesus can suck it.
