Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 978629 United States 07/04/2010 12:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am just to sick to celebrate the destruction of our earth! I am to sick with grief! I have finally, after months of warning, surrendered, and gave way to tears of much sorrow... Revelation 11:18 KVJ "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." As our earth dies, drowning in oil, gasping for the last breath, people of the world, celebrate in great joy, with fireworks? As we are chained to old ways, we rejoice? I am sick, with grief, for what is to come. May this be your last Joyous celebration. For the creator, and judgment is yet to come. I condemn you Obama, BP and all the world leaders to this distress that is to befall us all! Glory to the Creator, Hallelujah! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 978629Now that I am much, much, older and wiser, I ask, "Why do us Americans celebrate Independence Day, when we aren't Even Free!" We are slaves, why even celebrate that fact! I don't anymore.... Q&A please....... I give you a candid answer - BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS DELUDED. I am an American, one of a very few whom posses the liberty of mind to see the subversion in every sector of this dead republic. It's over for us. Next, the world. |

I guess it's cuz we can still get neat fireworks on the res. +1 I remember those incidents at those rallies, and both angered me. I also remember the press being banned from reporting things about 9/11, the wars, Katrina, and now the GOM. Seems all kinds of crazy that only now people are all hot and bothered their freedoms are gone. WTH kind of delayed reaction is that? I celebrate the 4th because I get an extra day off. |

The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire." ~Heinlein "If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more." ~Harriet Tubman |

It's a lie you tell kids. Last Edited by Olibow on 07/04/2010 01:19 AM ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ From ED TV (1999) I feel that Ed (TV) is the apotheosis of a prevailing American syndrome. It used to be that someone became famous because they were special. Now people are considered special just for being famous. Fame, itself, is now a moral good in this country. It's its own virtue. |

Seriously, that is the dumbest argument ever, but for some reason I hear it all the time. "It is really bad elsewhere, so don't bitch until you/we have reached the same level!" I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. ------------------------------- Sapere aude! |
