My daughter's boyfriend just went over
He is a Marine.

My daughter told me, his whack-job mother said to him, "blow up as many of them as you can and get back home".

This is the mentality that is creating terrorism.
This is the mentality that looks the other way from torture.
This is the mentality, via it's stupidity, that is killing our country with it's cheer-leading and support of Christo-Fascism.

:mad:

15. Tens of millions of America, IMHO, have the same view, to wit, we
can kill and maim anyone/occupy any country a Repuke president chooses, no question asked.

22. But THEY are barbaric because a handful have beheaded a few.
Beheading is totally humane compared to being melted by White Phosphorous or napalm, or being blown up by tons of bombs.

34. Huh?
Beheading is just as barbaric. Why does one thing have to be barbaric and the other thing not? They're both barbaric.

is okay with her.

Dumb b*tch.



Edit to add: tell your daughter she should find a new boyfriend. This one's tainted.

12. Sometimes the apple DOES fall far from the tree.
My MIL and FIL and all the little ILs are as evil as they come. My husband is as different from them as I am. Hubby is more like his grandpa, who was a VERY nice man. Maybe this young man takes after his grandpa. :shrug:

I just hope he comes home safe and sound.

9. Yes he might be
He is a good kid though.

The mom is a nutcase. I wish my daughter chose different but she is 22 years old and makes her own choices.

I did warn her about PTSD and what that might mean for her when he gets back.
He is not in the infantry, he is the supply/warehouse duty, so hopefully he will not face too much horror.

8. That mentality not only creates terrorism...
it IS terrorism. I hope the boyfriend is okay, and that he's not damaged to much, either by his experiences in Iraq, or by his crazy mother.

45. Yeah. I found it in some news article somewhere,
I don't remember where, but it seemed to capture his personality so well that I decided to save it. It seems like the pictures of him posted by many news outlets are getting more unflattering. Maybe that's a good sign.

It's a sad example of why things are this way.

And another reason we all need to be vigilant in working against this war.

18. I thought of that too.
God forbid.


The irony here is that he joined, in large part, to please his parents after they "dis-owned" him due to finding him smoking pot.

Fucking idiots.

I think she is 39. Why the hell doesn't she join the reserves and go? I'd ask her if I ever met her.
They are on a farm in ND and I am on the coast in SoCal.

A self-centered bitch.

Fortunately I haven't met her yet.

She's in for a rude awakening when he gets back. I'm sure he'll have all types of stories to tell as well even if he doesn't see much action.

26. Live by the bomb, die by the bomb.
IOW, everything that goes around, comes around. Pity this woman. I cannot imagine Jesus living out in the country, drinking and advocating death and destruction, and then going on the Mount to preach peace and love.

Violence begets violence.

30. What's sadder than that is right now an Iraqi mom saying the same thing
to her son. Both are in a race to blow up the other first. Oh, goody.

The mentality creating that terrorism and endless war has its genesis and so-called justification on both sides. War without end, amen.

Same as it ever was. :cry:

"Boyfriend? What moral grounds does this relationship stand on?"

WTF are you really asking?
What "morals" are you questioning?
Are you passing judgement on a situation you know nothing about?

Your question(s) is pissing me off.

41. Your details are few in order to form an opinion granted
So I apologize if you took as a slam.

My opinion is not a judgement. Why did he join the marines to" just to please his parents"?
What did you and your daughter think of that decision and was it discussed at the time before he signed the papers?

Have you sat down and had a long talk with him? He sounds like he could be a good but totally misguided youth, and hardly a man.

Supply is a dangerous job, don't forget that Cindy's son was a Humvee mechanic and got pushed into infantry. Jessica who was captured was a supply support personal

Morally, does your daughter and him support the war? I couldn't find that in the thread.

What did your daughter think of the statement made by his mother?

Sorry if I offended you. I really am.

47. Hard to imagine
...what some folks think. I mean, we spend much of our time talking to people who share our world view, or, as is my case, living surrounded by rural wingnuts, not talking at all. But this summer, I was caught in a conversation while flying from Little Rock to Cleveland. What a conversation! The man told me that the world would fine once the word "Arab" was no longer needed because they would all be gone. He said that it didn't matter if Saddam had anything to do with 911, because Iraq was as good a place as any to start the process.

This man was not rural at all; he was from NYC. Anything I said in opposition was met with his rejoinder of: Why do you hate New York?

I guess my point is: we must realize that we are surrounded by these folks even if we don't understand to what degree.

Shocked. Yes, I was shocked.
