My Grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I... My Father watched as his friends died in WW II and Korea ... I watched as my friends died in Vietnam ... None of them died for the Mexican Flag... Everyone died for the U.S. Flag... In Texas , a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another student took it down. Guess who was expelled... The kid who took it down. Kids in high school in California were sent home this year on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them. Enough is enough. The below e-mail message needs to be viewed by every American; And every American needs to stand up for America . We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough... I'm taking a stand... I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. Flag can't stand up... And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.. BUT it IS racist what they say and do to us and yet nothing is said that they are racist. Let me make this perfectly clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY! And, because I make This statement DOES NOT Mean I'm against immigration!!! YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY! Welcome! To come through legally: 1. Get a sponsor! 2. Get a place to lay your head! 3.Get a job! 4.Live By OUR Rules! 5.Pay YOUR Taxes! And 6.Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants Have in the past!!! AND 7.Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime Savings of Social Security Funds to you. If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, Then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIRRIGHTS??? We've gone so far the other way... Bent over backwards not to offend anyone... But it seems no one cares about the AMERICAN CITIZEN that's being offended! WAKE UP America !!! If You agree... Pass this on... If You don't agree... Then Just Delete It - But Shame On You!!!!

Q.
Are Americans and Western Europeans and Australians giving away THEIR RIGHTS???

And if we are giving away our rights, i don't blame foreigners for 'taking advantage',
....i blame Americans and Western Europeans and Australians for failing to appreciate how precious the gifts that our forefathers gave to us, are.

Starship Troopers, a great movie.

Wasn't it!      :P



I saw Starship Troopers as a story about choices, and their consequences, much like our life.

Of course someone like yourself Stratos, were simply 'turned off', by the gratuitous violence in the movie.

Right ?

"Nothing to see to learn here. Move on."




The truth is that a lot of people died violent deaths, struggling for the rights which people like yourself did not earn, and clearly do not appreciate, Stratos.

An appeaser, and a panderer.

That is my opinion of you, Stratos.


Dictionary;
appease = = placate (someone) by acceding to their demands.


Dictionary;
pander = = gratify or indulge (an immoral or distasteful desire or habit).




Stratos, you are a slave.

Always were.

Always will be.

For all of eternity.

Revelation 21:7
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.


Too frightened to choose to do what you know is right.

So, you choose to appease what is evil, and wicked.






Isaiah 26:10
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly,.....


appeasers of evil....

Isaiah 28:15
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17  Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18  And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.


Death, is your harvest.

Yadda, are you aware that Starship Troopers was intended as a work of satire?

Oh come on Stratos, next you will be telling me that there are no huge monster insects living on planets in our galaxy!!!     :P

Newt: My mommy always said there were no monsters - no real ones - but there are. Ripley: Yes, there are, aren't there?

Yes, there are real monsters.

And there are a lot of them living among us [here, on this planet!], pretending to be human beings.







Revelation 12:7
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

I think you are confusing satire with fiction Yadda.....

It seems that this relates to a Fox News poll prompted by a single incident in 2011:


Quote:

An opinion poll can't have a "true" or "false" value (as it's obviously an expression of opinion rather than fact), but there are a few points to be made about this particular item: The wording of the message (and the poll itself) is misleading without an explanation of the context that prompted it. Nobody was seriously proposing that the "American flag be banned in America"; the poll grew out of a single May 2010 incident in which five students at a California high school wore American flag T-shirts and bandanas to school on Cinco de Mayo: The five teens were sitting at a table outside Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Calif., on Wednesday morning when Assistant Principal Miguel Rodriguez asked two of them to remove their American flag bandanas. The boys complied, but were asked to accompany Rodriguez to the principal's office. The five students — Daniel Galli, Austin Carvalho, Matt Dariano, Dominic Maciel and Clayton Howard — were then told they must turn their T-shirts inside-out or be sent home, though it would not be considered a suspension. Rodriguez told the students he did not want any fights to break out between Mexican-American students celebrating their heritage and those wearing American flags. The five boys later said that "turning their shirts inside-out was disrespectful, so their parents decided to take them home." District officials immediately repudiated the school's handling of the matter: In a statement released [the next day], Morgan Hill Unified School District Superintendent Wesley Smith characterized the incident as "extremely unfortunate" and said the matter is under investigation. "The Morgan Hill Unified School District does not prohibit nor do we discourage wearing patriotic clothing," Smith's statement read. "The incident on May 5 at Live Oak High School is extremely unfortunate. While campus safety is our primary concern and administrators made decisions yesterday in an attempt to ensure campus safety, students should not, and will not, be disciplined for wearing patriotic clothing. This matter is under investigation and appropriate action will be taken." The poll is an unofficial, non-scientific opinion poll whose purpose is to drive visitors to the FOX News web site. It has no more significance than that, especially as nobody was actually proposing the action that the poll describes. As of April 2011, the poll had been running for nearly a year and amassed over 4.5 million "votes," with the "No, the flag should not be banned" option leading at 81.75%.
