  1. Thats not even close to being the same thing.

     

    Ships from other countries are allowed to move about freely in International Waters, but once they float into U.S. waters then we can start getting defensive. You do realize that our Navy does this sort of thing to other countries all the time...its called presence. Sure its a bit suspicious but they didn't provoke a fight so they did nothing wrong. Trust me, they don't want to fight our fleet. We have the world's finest Navy and we would crush that Russian junk before it made news.

     

    ^ Preach it brotha!

  2. So what sideliner and BP is saying is that if a group of men walked by thier property they would not tell them to leave ,since the road is a public road, and they would not worry about the safty of thier house.

     

    You're concerned about the "safty" of your house when people walk by in the street?

     

    People walk by my house all day; sometimes they even walk through my yard.

     

    Apples and oranges.

  3. Even more... if they're out 200 miles, and from my understanding is right at the line... how come our subs aren't a half a mile from 'em...seriously... or do we not protect our borders anymore?

     

    I suggest if something happens like 9/11 under this "president's watch"...it's going to get nasty, real nasty!!!!

     

    Surely you don't believe the subs were alone. They were most certainly 'accompanied' by assets from the 2nd Fleet.

  4. I don't think anyone is scared of them.....Speaking for myself, I want the navy to give them the proper motivation to LEAVE our waters instead of just tracking them.....maybe a few depth charges to get them on the move......

     

    They aren't/weren't in our waters.

  5. The tactics of these crazies are reminiscent of the brown shirts in Nazi Germany–tactics that worked by intimidating others by sheer volume and potential for violence. These are the same tactics used by some of those on the right-wing who encourage violence against abortion clinics or providers–scare people.

     

    That's a very weak attempt at the truth, Sideliner.

     

    Let's review the actual TRUTH about crazies "intimidating others by sheer volume" and "violence."

     

  6. That was 13 years ago, and when I left I was an area supervisor. Get your stories straight, mine are. I worked my tail end off, to make sure that I could enjoy life when it mattered.

     

    Now, I have a neanderthal thinking President that's desires to spread the wealth, as he said in his debates. I'm in retreat with the economy. I've made several investments, that may or may not pan out. The stock market is similar to playing a poker game, you'd better know what you're doing. I've come out on top more often than I've lost. I'm not saying I haven't lost, but I'm in the black.

     

    How long that will last with our current administration is uncertain.

     

    Get my story straight? Sheesh... I said you were some type of manager, which you were. Who said you didn't work hard?

     

     

  7. I don't think it's an issue of faith. More like, can your faith be the instrument of death for another. If they had come upon an accident victim or if it was someone else's kid and they sat around praying refusing to call for help, would anyone be trying to defend them? Well, I don't see what difference it being their own kid makes. Her life wasn't their's to throw away. Their's to shape as they saw fit maybe, but not to extinguish.

     

    And they did murder her through their inaction. I don't care what the legal definition of murder is, what their intentions were and what that means to the law, or anything else. They didn't act when they could have and their girl is dead now. As dead as if they held her head underwater. The crime, that betrayal, is worse to me than if some nut had killed her. I'm not afraid to pass judgment, screw that. And my judgment is, let them rot.

     

    I agree. Great post!
