oh right i did see ross's plastic man and compared it to baker's
plastic man, ( NOT )..you fuking nerd's who gives a fuck,oh that's right you, you fucking nerds gleekbit,ILC,fuck you nerd's.
and your paint glove arrow shovit up your ass, and for the yet
undecided, "FUCK" on the sesame street painting,it's o.k if youre over the rainbow it,s o.k . your nightmares of the scarry clown's your mommy got you on your birthday will pass,... a little somthing.
last year i was a voluntere in an hospital helping children and kid's that are diying and many that allready have left us. any way,s
a 5yr old boy's wish was to get ross's superheroes painting's before he passed on and one of those was the sesame street painting, well
the little boy held on long enough just to see ross,give him the painting,the little boy wished for. the next day the 5 year old boy
died,doctor's said increadebly he seemed to not suffer and for the,
short time i knew the boy and many other's like him not one,did i ever, hear or talked, about imperfections,in any one' of ross's art.
see,for these kid's there is no imperfections' no comparing,nothin negative,just to see somthing great. eaven if it wasen't real or perfect it was and is still for thousands of kid's dnd adult's alike.. so is ther really a piont in ,talking about painting a glove arrow or a painted lance, how you think it should be really is about,the smalest and most meaningless shit in the world, type and talk about thing's that inspire,and mean somthing great,for every one, any way's i'll problably be back just to anoy the shit out of you again and maybe,i'll play nice...maybe. zillaman out.

anyway, bad stuff!

This thread is kind of appalling. How de-sensitized can we get?

Strange how a few photos on a camera phone were all it took to go from 'collateral damage' to death penalty.

recent news headline: Bush, Blair admit difficulties, errors in Iraq

That only took 3 years. We should be out of the war by 2030, 2040 at the latest.

shit happens!

i don't like this:

Andrew Murray, chair of the Stop the War Coalition, said: "It's clear that what happened in Haditha is a war crime. It would be idle to think this is the first war crime that has been committed in the last three years. It must be assumed that more of this is going on."

anyway i'm impressed by how the marine corps is handling the whole thing. looks like they learned their lesson after my lai.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. I doubt we're going to see a Calley-style whitewash.

they're going to pillory the dudes involved to try to make a point.

Uh, pretty good point, don't you think?

i'm not complaining but it's a point w/o a principle. like 24 people killed in cold blood, NOT OK, 48 people killed as "collateral damage" because we fired a cruise missile at a suspected al-qaeda position wedding OK. where do you draw the line?

this is more about discipline in the military (which is important, don't get me wrong) than about the lives of people in a war zone.
