Not at all sure why you are surprised the above was written by a YOUNG man. Sounds fairly immature and not-quite-formed, to me, for sure. And of course his division (the new "country") will need a moniker, a name that truly expresses the mood of the populace. I'll throw out a suggestion....."The United Force of Bigotry"....sound good to you ? Oh , sure it does....come on ...united.....a Force....... what's better than "a Force" ?
Sarcasm aside, I sincerely pray for those who see the need to denegrate others and yet claim to be Christian..... you simply aren't. Tolerance is one of the loftier goals in life, most of us fail at some point, regardless of our upbringing or education. It takes a strong person to not succumb to others opinions, but rather, get informed from MANY resources, strive for individuality, make peace with those you disagree with,.... by discussion, not dismissal. "Go away" is easy......"come here" is much harder. Be tougher... not lazy.

Then from what you have just said, you aren't a Christian?

Kerry: What does being Christian (or not) have to do with anything ? Some here seem fairly devout, whatever their beliefs; others (like myself), not so much ! Expressing your beliefs on this forum is one thing; pushing them on someone else is another ! Although raised strict Roman Catholic through grade school, I turned away from any/all formal religious groups by the time I graduated high school !
Anyone here is welcome to their own beliefs; just keep it to yourself as I keep mine to myself !

Misunderstandings do happen, and this could be one, as the impression you left was of questioning whether he was Chistian or not ! If that wasn't the intent, then pardon my comment, but we do get people on this site occasionally who don't get the gist of the tone/attitude of this forum and come across as judgemental !
Was just reacting to the tone of what I read !

Getting too old ? Did your remark about being a 50s vet mean that was your age group ? That's funny, because the majority of the regular crew here are probably nearly a generation ahead of you ! Compared to us, you're still a young'un ! That's okay, as most of us are also vets, just slightly more 'seasoned' !

Well I am 80 and a 1950s vet and it is getting tougher putting in a garden, (have to get out and till it before gets too wet) still make/repair a few rods, now getting into Pen making. Have a pattern half done for me to weave an endangered species (Snow Leopard) on a rod to name a few things and have four rod blanks to make into rods.

Good luck with your project; nice hobby/activity to get into ! Sorry for the mis-read, but it wasn't clear whether that was your age or service period ! Incidentally, are those rods for yourself, or do you do this for friends/family/clients ?

I am Navy, then got out and put myself thru college and got a BSEE and went back to work for the Navy and was a Design Engineer retiring with 36 years of service. Was lucky to see a large part of the world to check out all types of navy ships/subs for planning purposes. I owe a lot to the Navy. Thanks for all of you out there for your service. God Bless America!

WRITTEN BY A YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT--

30 STAR RATING :


The person that wrote this is a college student. Perhaps there is hope for us after all.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:
--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.

--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
--We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood . 

--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.






--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".

--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.

--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin & Charlie Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & ( Hanoi ) Jane Fonda with you.

P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country
