The tunnel one had me rolling!

That was friggin hilarious!!
Sad to say that was pretty much the truth

Dont really understand the french people or culture at all

I'm quoting somebody from another board unrelated:

"French Fries" now "Freedom Fries!?"

"-Who cares, it's just a step a congressman took not something the government if forcing. He is just irritated with the French leader and so is a majority of the US.

French owned hotels in America have switched the french flag for an american flag. I hope a country is threatening the French one day so we can continually deny them the right to fight with UN approval. I know we wouldn't do that but it'd be funny.

John Stuart Mill explained it best when he said, "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

Perhaps the next time you march against the war, you should consider that the purpose of war is to make the world a safer place not only for ourselves, but for those we often go out of our way to defend. The policies which so many protesters seem to be against are the same types of policies that have kept this nation safe from tyranny and oppression for over 200 years."

Very well said!

There is a price to pay for freedom!

That is really the truth freedom aint free, just like that new country song says that we didnt get freedom by backin' down to someone else, Military service has ran through my family and now its my turn to stand up and am joining the Marine Corps.

Ps. The majority of the war protesters dont have much of a damn clue of anything, and I think that the majority of them are ignorant to what we have and what we have to protect

For all the pro-war side, here is a quote for you that may show a little bit about why both the french and germans are together on this since they were both the victims of NAZI GERMANY

"Naturally the common people dont want war, but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is allways a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliment, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can allways be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them you are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country"

Hermann Goering-HITLERS REICH MARSHALL quoted at the Nuremberg trials


Its amazing how many of us Americans would have made great nazi's

The pro-war movement is a threat to the safety of us all and anyone who says diferently has simply been buying into this NAZI psychology

Cool - sounds like you are pro-getting reamed in the a$$. Good for you. But don't expect the rest of US to bend over and wait for the next 9/11 or something worse...

Not many are truly "For War", but rather FOR our freedom and sticking up for ourselves and others in need.

Were the Jews holding weapons of mass destruction and taunting the Nazis? You are comparing apples to oranges (and that's even being generous)....

Fishmaster2003,

Thank you and go with God.

Thank you, PhishPhreak, you perfectly validate Chappy's comments.

Congrats for your decision to join the military. I'm just guessing that you're somewhere in the vicinity of 18 years of age. The military can surely use men of your caliber that possess the wisdom far exceeding those that are in their 30's and 40's. For those older experienced folks haven't a clue what they've had here, yet, you do, and in such a short time. Bravo.

"No one is more anti-war than a soldier." --General Tommy Frank, Cdr CenCOM

But then he's probably ignorant and doesn't have a damn clue, either.

Don't you know how to post anything about fishing? This is a fishing site you know, give us a break!

I just went through every posting that you have ever made on this board, and this is what I had found that YOU have stated about youself:

You love cougars
You love sea lions
You love orcas
You hate guns...you hate guns... and you hate guns!
You are a lobbyist
You hate both Bush's
You hate republicans
You hate Chaney
You hate G. Bush because he has increased the hatchery programs from 15 to 58 million dollars
You hate both Bush and Cheney because they both live in homes that are "environmentalist's wet dream"
You love the U.N.
You hate having wars with any nation that produces oil
You like to read and quote Nazi's stuff
You think that CNN, CBS, ABC, and NBC are all "Brainwashed"
You don't care much for Israel
You want to boycott all Safeway stores
You an "admitted hippie and Liberal"
You are a professional fighter, marshal art expert/wrestling champion/ prp-boxer and you knock out teeth and brake people noses and bones
You know how to tie jigs

It sure appears to me, that your agenda is more political then it about adding informative impute about fishing. I would suggest that everyone else also do a search and see just how far off I am.

Sorry chappy, but it's pretty much what you have stated in those 20 postings of yours!


Lets all get back to talking about our fish again and save this war talk for other websites!

Chappy,

I have one question for you my friend, why then do you resort to such violence as you claimed on your recent post regarding "rule-breakers" on fishing? Is that not a form of Nazism then? How can you justify such violent behavior yourself? Who gave you the right to be the judge, jury and "EXECUTIONER" of what is right and wrong? Most importantly the punishement you decided to inflict was based on your confrontation(s). Be careful my friend that you do not become an "American" form of a fundamentalist or terrorist. I'd be nervious if I was fishing beside you if I knew you were that radical...I'd be afraid I'd piss you off and you'd attack me! Be more useful and try and help people,..how about going downtown and working the bread line or donating your time to the United Way or the Red-Cross? You seem to be a man of "cause" so maybe try and put your efforts and energies into more constructive purposes.
Peace, Darin
Try humor, it's the best medicine next time!

Whaddya know??...looks like fishin' is slow for Republicans too!

I'm an independant... does that mean that there are fish out there that are looking to bite my hook? Thanks for the fishing report H20.

Great collection of quotes. To quote Dick Cheney, the old strategies and and alliances for the '80's may not apply to today's world of terriorism. France is driving itself away from an alliance with the US.

Speaking of Alliances, I am shocked at what has happened in the last week. I can not believe that the chicks voted Jeanne off of Survivor. What a back stabber. What gives with that. You fish side by side in the Amazon jungle heat with a string for piranhas, and your bsom buddy turns on you like a rabid dog.



Sorry. Just and ill fated attempt at humor. It's getting really tense right now. No fish for guys to chase, and the pot in the Middle East just boiled over on to the stove. Say a prayer for our troops and their families.

First off, let me start by saying that I'm a democrat, and that as such, I can't stand George W. Bush. I opened by stating my opinion of Bush, as well as my party affiliation so as to dispell the myth that anyone who speaks in favor of a war with Iraq is an ultra right wing conservative republican. I'm in favor of invading Iraq. Yes, the French are Wussies.... Anytime people place their own personal wants and needs above what is right and what is best for their fellow men, forfiets the right to call themselves men in my book.
Now, for the real reason I'm posting: Chappy, why would think it ok to compare Americans with Nazis? Goharley....... How dare you belittle anyone who is preparing to serve their country. That kid may only be 18 or so, but he's signing up to serve this country knowing full well that someday he may be called on to make the ultimate sacrifice..... It's something I wish I'd have done as a young man..... My hat goes off to him and all the other men and women who are serving our nation. You should both be ashamed that you have the gall to belittle the very people who defend your right to do and say such things....Seems kind of ironic.

LittleZoZo;
I didn't belittle Fishmaster for his plans to join the Corps. I sarcastically pointed out that he felt people in their 30's and 40's don't have a clue simply because they are protesting the impending war. I find it amusing that teenagers consider themselves with keener insight than us middle-aged folk; my son included.

By the way, I spent over 20 years in uniform to "defend your right to do and say such things." I continue to work with the military as a contractor. I know thousands of "war protesters" in the form of mothers, fathers, and spouses. Oh, they support the troops 100%, but they'd rather have their loved ones stay home safe rather than send them to battle.

The scariest people I ever worked with are the ones that viewed their enlistment as some big sporting event and they were just waiting for the big game. Joining the military so you CAN go to war is the wrong idea. That reckless attitude usually ends up in a black zippered bag.

I sincerely applaud Fishmaster for his decision to join the Corps as his family before him did. Just make sure it's being done for the right reasons, with the right attitude.

As I sat last night night enjoying a nice bottle of Beaujolais, eating 'Freedom' fries (dipped in some 'Freedom's' yellow mustard', 'freedom' kissing my girlfriend (who was wearing a 'freedom' maid outfit I'll add) and studying an atlas of 'Freedom Guyana' the thought occurred to me that the French would be well advised to respond in some way to those petulant americans who are no doubt causing irrevocable damage to the French economy...

As a result I emailed my suggestion directly to Jacques Chirac.....
