Mississippi judge jails attorney for not reciting Pledge of Allegiance

[korre]

Maestro - I have little use for discussion with someone who intentionally is unemployed, did not serve in the military, and bitches about the whole thing while sitting at the library because he can't afford the proper equipment and services to bitch from home. Good day.

Rod Knox - I am sorry that you experienced what you did almost 40 years ago. I too think it was terrible that our government forced young men and women to die for a war that was never intended to be won.

If you'll excuse me, I need to do the physical therapy stuff they told me to do when I lost my leg in the sandbox. That whole REMF thing seems to have not helped me much. Here I thought that being REMF meant I'd never see action. Turns out that it means I'd have to be point man over and over.

Well, you know, that or it's just that you're dead wrong.

The bluster sometimes fades with time, korre. And the VA's support often fades with Republican War Hawks protecting themselves and their friends and letting their promises to veterans fade. I won't be here in 40 years but if the Republicans have their way the rats will own all the VA hospitals when you look back on that many years. Good luck.

And you are so sure you did the best thing? Who do you think pays for your VA treatments us unemployed that make our own living without the need of a boss. There are many more ways of contributing to the economy without being employed for someone else. Sorry you had such poor government schooling that you never opened your eyes to the real world that sees the manipulation. Yes it is painful to see your own lack of education was your own doing.
Staying at home locks you away from the other ideas. What makes you think I can not afford anything? I learned how to have much more value than the military could provide.

If you lived during the Vietnam days you would of thought twice about believing the Government cares about you.

Conspiracy nutter, Maestro?

No Conspiracy, just the system that has not found a way to arrest organized greed.

You do know that 16% of the world population uses 75% of the world resources. What we have is a system that is not working, as it uses psychology to take advantage of the least informed.

You might find this book interesting.

"Public Opinion" by Walter Lippman

He points out the benefits of propaganda during WWI

Maestro, if you live in the US, you're part of the 1%. You're one of the greedy people that use up all of the resources.

Way to invalidate your own statement.

1)"...one nation under God" was added during cold war in response to Russian atheism.

2)I was very Patriotic as a child; as an adult I have lost the sense of what exactly it is I am supposed to be so proud of.

3)“The feeling of patriotism - It is an immoral feeling because, instead of confessing himself a son of God ... or even a free man guided by his own reason, each man under the influence of patriotism confesses himself the son of his fatherland and the slave of his government, and commits actions contrary to his reason and conscience.” Leo Tolstoy, Patriotism and Government

50% of the American public pay federal taxes. The secret of living is to do what inspires you to survive. Being controlled by slave masters is not the best way to live free. Yes being an American is being part of the world population that uses more than a fair share of resources. 5000 children and 23000 adults die each day due to lack of clean water or food. The world population went from 1.3 billion in 1900 to over 7 billion today. It is screwing that made the problem and few seem to be able to control that emotion. If you do not have the ability to support a child you should not produce one. America as a country steals from the third world to support its high standard of living. I would not be proud to fight for that stand. I would try to reduce the amount of personal irresponsibility that makes people produce children they do not have the resources for.

[korre]

... absolutely none of that has to do with anything that's been said so far, nor does it invalidate how invalid and utterly insane you are, maestro.

Like I said... nutter.

1%? I think you do not understand why you even were wounded or why you were there in the first place. What we have is propaganda that you swallowed and got hurt because you did not have the facts. You refuse to admit you are the cause of your own effect and ignoring that, as you defend yourself as being a good citizen you can not put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

The 1% has you snowed by your own greed.

why don't you move to Qatar, or somewhere else you prefer over the U.S., and hand out condoms?

Take your pills, maestro, you're showing symptoms that you believe you have the supernatural power to read minds again. I mean, you don't know me, you don't know what happened in my past, you don't know what I think, you don't know what I know and do not know, you don't even know if I am a man or a woman. You know literally nothing other than that I was injured in Iraq and yet you believe you understand so much about me that you can speak for me.

That's called Delusion and is one of the more prominent symptoms of Schizophrenia. So, please, take your pills, it seems you missed a dose.

It is called speculation and you have been to too many doctors. The system uses psychology to brainwash and control your beliefs.

You asked about the reason and you got it. Think ahead before you leap.

==========
It is the responsibility of every citizen to fix the system because this is a country by the people not by the government appointees.

Actually, I didn't ask for a reason, and I didn't get one. All I got is you coming out of the woodwork with information you could not possibly know (and were nowhere near accurate with, I might add) and trying to pass yourself off as an authority to unknown information.

Once again, you need to take your medicine. You now are exhibiting signs that you're paranoid because you believe that the "system" is brainwashing people and controlling their minds. This is all done without having ever met the person you believe is under mind control from the US Government. Again, this is a classic sign of Schizophrenia. The more you talk, the more you exhibit psychotic behavior.

i don't think he means mind control in the CIA sense of the word so much as just a lifetime of indoctrination.

thats why I told you your mission should be to hand out condoms in another country. According to your positions about the state of the country...and the world...you could get yourself a twofer by doing so! It would be a win, win.....win. Think about it!
