Last/first post about differences between myDi~LJ!


~*~


Just
for a change
on a different
range.

I had
a little quarrel
with the Americans
about all that weird theory crap,
personal thoughts & writings,
relevance of topics,
internet etiquette,
abiding by the rules,
courtesy to other members,
difficulties in crossculture understanding,
cohesiveness of posts & abiding by social courtesy,
last warnings and stuff like that ~ badgering & disrespect
ending with the words
of a red~neck friend:

'As soon as I get a chance,
your posts and interaction will be removed
from the community!'

En DAT
is helemaal niet
zo vreselijk vreemd
als je leest wat
'that kind of people
write'?

Bijvoorbeeld:

"Being very
active in supporting our troops
& promoting pride & patriotism f
or America in
students!"

"This
makes me so damn happy to see,
to know that kids will be given understanding of history,
and not being brainwashed
by moronic liberal fools in their 40's
who were part of the disgrace that was the 60's
& 70's. "

"NOW
they will understand
why this country is great,
they will appreaciate the sacrifice
of a soldier in this army,
and I am certain love this country
and its people
more than before.
Maybe I'm just made of too much
proud ould blood,
passed down from people who have fought
and died for honor
and right no matter the cost,
but I feel the burning pride in my heart
when I see our banner fly,
when I see a soldier walking tall,
our brothers in arms:
God Bless America,
and if you don't like it, move to France.
God knows we don't want you here,
or in Ireland, or England."

"I love this country,
I LOVE it.
Not because I have to, not because of diversity,
not because of anything but FREEDOM!
THAT is why America is great,
that is why I have pride in this huge chunk of land.
Freedom means that every triumph is every area,
every act of goodwill, brilliance, advancement, everything,
is the result of the realization
of God's intention for man - to be
free."

'"BONA NA CROIN" - neither collar nor crown,
unfettered by all but His law.
The thought
that by allowing every man
to do whatever he wants,
means that our greatness
is the result of a choice
that can be traced down
to that individual.

We are here by virtue of our forefather's wits,
courage, might, and of course Divine Providence,
and by these we continue to be His light
which shines brighter
than any other.'

'We go into a country full of people
who would as soon see us dead for our Christianity,
yet we do not fight them,
we liberate them.

They deserve to be free,
they deserve the chance to decide things
for themselves.

That the whole world
doesn't shed tears
at the show of Chivalric Honor of the US,
British & whatever
other troops fractionally make up our coalition
doesn't surprise me,
but it does make me sick.
As Americans {and do on},
hold your heads high and take pride in your country
and in yourselves.
We fight with all the honor
and skill of Arthur
himself!

'Pacifism
is not a virtue, nor is apathy,
idolatry, or cowardice.
The Bible didn't say thou shalt not kill,
it said thou shalt not murder.
There is a difference.
WAR is a reality of life in this world;
a man, a country can make war and be right and just.
Many times a man, a country HAS to make war
to be right and just, and to stay alive!'

"I'm pissed the hell off with these 'anti~war' protestors.
I feel justified in my anger, I feel right.
One of course has to reign ones actions in
and be mindful of letting anger get the best of you,
but damn these fools.
I spent what COULD BE the last day I'll ever spend
with my Dad today
at Ft. Benning.
I know he will return safe and victorious,
but the possibility exists for the converse to happen.
When these 'protestors' lay
in the street of New York city,
{how does that make any pointy other than
that you just
want to be destructive?} I would like to see,
and even be a part of,
a counter~protest.
I want to protest the protestors.
Bunch of moronic kids who know nothing,
mostly just interested in 'civil disobedience',
i.e., running amok
in the streets, turning a life and death situation
into Girls Gone Wild.
I would love to have some REAL civil disobedience
for them,
because if what they do can be somehow
rationalized into
'assembling peacefully' then so can anything.
I'm talking about violence.
I suppose it would be wrong,
but dammit that's why I'm ranting about it here
and not doing it, to get it out of my system.
I want to beat every last one of those doped up hippies
until they fear for their life,
THEN maybe they'll understand
one tiny aspect of what its like for our fighting forces,
AND the people of Iraq who have lived
under this Butcher.
Maybe they might think
about their families as they're beaten senseless,
stoned, bashed with bats,
and remember those families
who will never see loved ones after September 11th,
and remember what we're
fucking fighting for.
These bastards all need a life~altering
near~death experience.
Isn't that touching?
I'd love to take one of their Birkenstocks
and make 'em eat the damn thing.
THEN, punch the bastard in the stomach until he throws it back up.
Then I'd make him wear it again.
This world has gone insane, but its not because of war,
the war is the most logical thing going.
Its the damn 'peaceniks', hows that for irony?
These people make me sick.
I'll come back later and be my rational self again, I'm sure.
But for now .....
i'm PISSED.'

And SO was I,
Mordechai.
I can understand these kinds of sentiments,
because I've 'experienced'
Korea, Hungary, Dutch reactions on MY not wanting to
serve in the army,
my father's death half a year before
I was born,
Politionele Acties & our
leaving Papua New Guinea, Ambonnezen/Molukkers,
Jan Rap & z'n Maat,
het opgesloten worden,
bespogen worden,
geslagen en getrapt en niet weten hoe lang je nog opgesloten blijft
omdat je geen geweld wilt leren gebruiken,
omdat je eerlijk je mening zegt of zingt,
Vietnam & die andere dobbelsteentheoriefabricages
over Africa, Asia, Videla, Pinochet,
Battista &
Fidel, Che, Gorby, Shah & Ayatollah,
Young Ill Kim & Rumania, Serbia & Kosovo,
Dafur & The Tsunami,
legerplaatsen & tankoefeningen,
atoom-
bunkers en Bescherming Bevolking onder de trap van
de Koude Oorlogen.
Eindeloze reeksen van oorzaken en gevolgen
van spanningen tussen 'links & rechts',
liberals & conservatives,
KKK & MLK,
Charles Manson & Jim Jones,
David Koresh & Timothy
Whatshisname ...
Maybe tomorrow {or today}
I'll quote my 'opponent's' views a bit more,
because HE {and people like him}
also deserve a fair hearing
in public?
Opposing arguments
& descriptions of people in different situations
bring life into a grey newspaperworld
& shocking tv~pictures.
But anyway
it is good to know after all
that as well as two thousand years ago,
also nowadays we have people of all ages and backgrounds
that are not afraid to say what they think & feel!
They can do whatever they want and say whatever they want as long as they don't use violence and torture themselves and each other till
'Kingdom Come'?
Tussen zwart en wit liggen ontelbare
kleurschakeringen!
Sleep Well & Sweet Dreams
To All
