I thought I would waste my time with a rhetorical question.
Edited on Sun Oct-02-11 06:33 PM by 11 Bravo
How come American soldiers can be called "terrorists", "murderers", "trained killers", "human wreckage", and a buttload of other shit; but I can't call Ann Coulter a "cunt", and calling Chris Christie "fat" is the cause of great angst?
If veterans aren't welcome here, just fucking say so, but the selective outrage over what is, and is not accpetable speech, makes me want to puke.

1. I think that the comments you refer to about American soldiers would depend on context.
But if it makes you feel any better, if someone were to call a female soldier the c-word, or if they called a black solder the n-word, that would always be removed, regardless of context.
