    Default Lets try this again.

    it's unbeleivable that the city of San Fransico can have the heart to reject such an honored military vessel as the Iowa.

    Its a free country and they voted they didnt want it there. I dont agree but they have that right Im not gonna bitch just to bitch

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    They're a bunch of idiots who, because of their opposition to the Iraq war, seek to dishonor the men who fought in WWII. But hey, at least they won't get tourist dollars.

    That about sums up my opinion. They're free to behave stupidly if they choose to- that doesn't mean we can't call it what it is.

    Wink Re: Lets try this again.

    the city as voted democractly on the subject and they don´t want the ship there.

    right or wrong and despite what anyone else thinks the population of this city believes that the organization that the ship represents has taken some stances concerning a part of the city´s population and concerning certain recent "political and military steps" that were taken.

    the city also allreay has an US navy ship stacioned there and they might thing 2 are too much.

    to cap it all of there is another city that is ready to receive the ship with open arms and provide facilities for it to be visited and seen by anyone that wishes to do so.

    this is really a non-issue, and i don´t see what the problem is.

    Feinstein was pretty upset that the supervisors rejected the Iowa. She's not exactly my hero...so I was surprised by her reaction.

    The link above didn't work so you might want to try this one San Francisco Supervisor's Rejection of the Iowa

    It seems awfully petty to reject such an incredible piece of history.

    Just because it's their right doesn't mean they're not being jackasses.

    No one said it was illegal, GC. Who are you pointing this out to?

    I think Dave was just insulting them, but fair enough. After sometime you'll take Kaiser's post less seriously. He might be a good guy and all, but he has that certain way of posting that comes across as a little aziNay-ikelay.

    What did Dave say that was so bad? 'Godless sodomites?' Jeez. I'm sorry, but BFD.

    Maybe you're just too proximal to the Rainbow Metrop, but that is one of the tamest jokes I've heard about San Fran.

    Thank you proletariat.
    As stated, you gotta take some of my posts with a pinch of salt. I'm the so-extreme-it's-humorous guy around here, much like DA was (though DA did get offensive alot more than I do, lol). Basically, if you see somthing relating to bombing, genocide, mass murder, mass raping and pillaging, just interperate it as "I am highly disgusted by this and I think it is time the American public correct this problem in a sensible fasion that I am too lazy to think of."
    Ok?

    I don't see the problem at all. They didn't want a ship there. Big deal...
