The wussifying of America

No thanks; it's a waste of my time. Have a nice life.

Thought so. That is why you have the French degree while I have an engineering degree.

It is clear what sort of guy you are with for him to be with someone like yourself.

You couldn't pass French anyway; spelling and grammar count. I, on the other hand, would not have any trouble getting an engineering degree. I just did not (and do not) want to be an engineer.

I feel sorry for your wife; you aren't a very nice person and you obviously can't handle having your own M.O. thrown back in your face. My husband on the other hand is a mellow, laid-back, and brilliant man who thinks I'm smart, sexy, and a great cook. You don't need to feel sorry for him.

Whatever helps you sleep at night..

PS Where is your proof that I am not nice. Is it because I said I was about to punch out a driver who nearly killed me??

Would you two get over yourselves or take it to PM? Becauuse I don't care what kinda fancy degrees you got after your name, you're both looking like Special Olympics candidates.

I know after all this bickering an actual post with more then a line might be missed, but here goes...

Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia and as a consequence was invaded by YU forces i.e. Serbia and the accompanying dummies... the war ended in 1995 and I was a kid when it was hapenning, not to mention that my family was fortunate to live in a part of the country that was never reached because most of the fighting was hapenning on the borders with Serbia and those cities took the worst of the destruction.

I, however, still remember the air raids and being hudled into shelters by scared adults... I remember my friend's mom being killed in one of the rare attack from air- and the memory that started haunting me again when I found that that friend's baby sister was in a high school class I was teaching...

I can only imagine how my aunt felt after marching out of her torn and destroyed city in high pregnancy with her two other children, knowing that her husband was lying wounded in the hospital - hospital that was that same night "cleaned out", the wounded soldiers put on trucks, driven somewhere where they were all shot and buried in an unmarked hole...to this day she has no knowledge of where he is...

I saw the stress on her when she went to testify last year against the people, her Serbian neighbours who were acting as infromants for the Serb army and disclosed the men fighting in the "Croatian army" which officially didin't exist because we didn't have a state...

It is sad to see how easy it is for some people to talk of guns and killing and wussies and what not, when most of them have never experienced a war, an invasion of your country and the terror that goes with it....

Mawilson, you think you know what a war is or how it feels?

People in US know of war through the media and lies of their administration.... you people have no idea what you are talking about or what it is you are advocating....

Only someone who doesn't think of the consequences nor has any experience on the matter can say that having a gun fixes things, and that pulling a trigger on someone in protection is easy....

I think "Europeans" have less appetite for war because a whole generation remember what it was like to be consumed by one - my father-in-law watched the Battle of Britain being fought in the skies above his house. My friends mother remembers running to her family's air raid shelter at the foot of their garden in Birmingham and turning around to see her sister alight in flam'es and die. Americans did not experience this on the home front - civilians did not pay this price.

I have to say that I don't and hope that I never will. You've seen and been witness to things

that no-one should ever have to see and have lived through again, and I'm sorry.
