This is just too much. He is in prison, after all, MILITARY PRISON, bet that's fun. I'm sick with this bullshit. Too much.

:puke:

1. I just can not get this. Some reason they will not play but

why is this man in prison? Was he in the military? If you say you will fight and will not it a little different than not wanting to fight and saying it. With no draft I did not think we would have this trouble.

[Dammit Ann]

2. I don't know why the vid is not playing...

but... yes, he joined, the military, no one said he didn't. i just find it offensive that IN A VOLUNTEER FORCE, there is no leniency for CONCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS. Surprisingly, they are few and far between. I bet they could be spared, quietly, or at least, PARDONED after a reasonable amount of time.

3. I hope he will not be in jail long. I see it as a little sin.

My son said the vits do not work right because of something to do with how the internet downloads and if I down load first it would play all the way. I sort of see what he mean. I down load a whole vit and then re-play it on my PC and not try to play it right off the internet but for the life of me I have yet to figure out how to do that. I am still trying to put in picture off the internet into my family history and sometimes it works and some times not so I am pretty thick on this thing. I also do not know the terms well so 'how to do' it stuff often goes right over my head. I end up mad and so am a slow learner of PC.

4. I am sorry for being smart with you.

Sometimes with the videos you have to give them time to load. Especially with dialup. I'm spoiled on broadband and forget sometimes. Sorry.

10. I will not try today as my mood is good. I did not know you were being

smart. I just can be so first grade about this PC that I do not even know if someone is pulling my leg or not to be frank with you.

[Dammit Ann]

5. And I agree... it is a little sin.

Hopefully, we will all see that soon.

6. what about the Amish they seem to have a blanket concientious objectors pass

I know of none of our Amish neighbors who themselves have ever served nor any of their sons and daughters, best I remember they weren't drafted either back when we had a draft. just pointing out.

[Dammit Ann]

7. hmmmm?

I must say, that's a mystery. Maybe they are like Native Americans? Then again, I don't even think that applies.

8. They signed up to defend America for legitimate reasons

the invasion of Iraq is neither defending America nor is it legitimate.

9. I think it has to be based on religion

which is disgusting because it implies that those of us that don't have a religion are without morals or values. I'll put my morals and values up against any religious person any day.
