Army Strong

What's the problem? You all don't like Armstrongs now? What did we ever do to you to deserve this? We gave you Neil, Louis, and me, and this is the thanks we get?

Oh, yeah, I forgot EJ. Guess we do deserve this. I'm so, so sorry...
 
I'm right here, neither under the bridge nor driving over it! Isn't the point of the video very obvious? It seems so to me. I found the it very moving.

The aggressive tone of most of responses surprisise me, even if they are mostly from the usual suspects. Perhaps I underestimate the fatalism and strength of militarist ideology in the US.

There was nothing inevitable about the war against Iraq. The same applies to most wars. I hope this video spreads far and wide and saves some lives.
 
what are the rules in cases like this when there is no op, is it possible to stray away from any topic? Are there chances of getting a yellow card for not sticking to the point of the thread? I would like to take this opportunity to talk about something I have been curious about, and falls into the category of social issues and current events.

Has anyone here ever cruised on the Costa cruise lines before? Is it the same line that they use for all of the amaz!ng cruises? How do they compare to other cruise lines going out of Ft. Lauderdale?

Post a video, comment on it and start a debate. Stop spamming.
 
guys, come on, there is a serious topic here open for debate and no one is treating it with the thought it deserves.

Have you ever been on a Costa cruise, if so how does it rate to Carnival and others?
 
Watched most of the video.

Still don't see what JJ's point is. Care to elaborate?
 
I hate fishing for an argument...in fact I hate fishing period...except for the drinking beer part...so that is what I am going to do. Call me when you come up with an actual argument and stop spamming the forums.
 
JREF is a discussion forum, not an argument forum!

I have posted the video for discussion. It's got nothing with "spamming", "trolling", "driving by" etc.

So do some "discussing" instead of taking a dump and expecting something to happen. That's just lazy or cowardly.
So what would you like to discuss because no one has any idea what your point is?

Well your post has a lack of "discussion" from your side...

Do you have a response to the video?

PTSD is a bitch...we should be funding more research to help treat vets.

War is hell, but guess what, there is nothing the people can do to stop it....even by electing a new President to office. Even when these wars end, there will more to fight in the future.

Yes.

I am interested to see other people's responses first, then I will share more about my response and my response to other people's responses. It's hardly unusual for people to post material on JREF for people to respond to. I find it somewhat bizarre that posters are having such apparent difficulty responding to or even, apparently, understanding the content of the video!

War sucks. Bad things happen in wars. We should try to avoid wars and help vets recover from war.

Your turn.

It could go either way. If there is no stated topic, then it is impossible to be on topic, so IMHO the OP itself is a breach of Rule 11! OTOH, it is impossible to be off topic because there is no explicitly stated topic. Let's see how long it takes for this mess to end up in the Cpmmunity Forum or AAH.
