and if they are PEACOCKS you will only have the equivalent of another 2 noisy roosters, now you must go out and buy several peahens for them to mate with......

What if the cocks like a bit on the side 'cause one of (or both) the hens plays "hard to get" after all, those tail-feathers are quite heavy.

i figured this C&P belonged in this thread,,,,since the lady is "bitching"
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Letter from one "Angry Woman"

I don't know who wrote it but they should have signed it. Some powerful
words. This woman should run for president.

Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is
one ticked off lady.

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not
started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September
11, 2001?
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally
murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from
our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible,
burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated"
when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it
wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents
for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East
start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is
a crime in Saudi Arabia

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for
chopping off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his
gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out
and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by
hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in
search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of
their suicide .

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First
Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law
instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing
up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't
care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who
have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident,
rest assured: I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told
not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to
the bank: I don't care..

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer
mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is
complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can
absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled
"Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you
guessed it-I don't care !!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail
friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for
this ridiculous behavior!

If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should
you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more
atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great
Country! And may I add:

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a
difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem"
-- Ronald Reagan

I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you
forward all this.

"If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be
a nation gone under." Also by.. Ronald Reagan

One last thought for the day:

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American
sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime
Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked
by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America
, he said: "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at
how many want in.. And how many want out."

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I. "S

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.


YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,
AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.
AMEN!

Ugly, misguided and mostly incorrect flag waving racism. Obviously the ignorant woman has never left the shores of USA.

I could do another one in contrast of that, but what would that do?

President? Errr dont call us we will call you!

The1, - - - I am of the view that there does seem to be a strength in the language of that letter, which seems derived from a very USA centric perspective. - - It appears to be significantly bereft of grass-roots cultural experiences derived from living with and in other countries for extended periods of time - necessitating an ability to communicate in those foreign languages.

I am inclined to be weary of those espousing that a deity is "on their side" - this being quite a presumptuous statement, and in all honesty should be made only by that deity....

Only ONE defining force has ever offered to die for you: - - individually
1. Jesus Christ - - Particularly if you are a Christian (one-third or less of earth's population?)

Most countries can justly claim, their military forces (all the soldiers) were prepared to die for, fight aggressors and defend the borders FOR THEIR COUNTRY and fellow countrymen & women....

I also agree the cowardly acts of causing terror and death in the civilian population cannot be excused, nor can the use of women, children, family members as "shields" to disguise the intent of attack or to hide behind following an ambush. - - There is NO reward for inhumanity in aggression in any religious text that I have been able to find or have explained.....

Errr what are you trying to say Mas.

It is simply controversial rhetoric that covers far too much base to be of conversational material.

I am sure the Taliban issue similar hatred inciting statements as this in Arabic.

i think the text shows,,,,,that we as citizens of america have to worry bout EVERY RELIGION,every NATIONALITY,and every belief,other then our own.,,our nation seems to worry more bout how we are treating people,,then how we are being treated,,theres a time to care about everyone, a time to help them,,a time to hold their hands and pass em all the money we can make,,,,,BUT,,theres also a time NOT to care,,and WAR is 1 of those times.,,,if the people being mistreated was mistreated at any other time then war,,,then whoever did the "deed" needs to be punished,,,,but in a war,,,i say be lucky to be fed rocks,,,i care very much about "others",,,but the people killing MY fathers,sons,brothers,sisters MOTHERS,,i dont give a **** about,,and i dont care how their treated,,,and im in the frame of mind,,that if you shoot at me,,,then im jus gonna kill you,,no prison, no taking care of ya, no passing you your bible,,,,just a hole in the head..

Jim I may not quite agree with some of her words, I'm from somewhere slightly different, but by Hell I agree wholeheartedly with her spirit - this is war and the sooner the rest of the world realise it (including quite a few Muslim countries too - a lot of them do and ARE on our side but also have their own fanatics) the better! there can only be one answer to a Fanatic terrorist who is willing to die for the cause - help him! NOW! Arrest him, give him a swift trial and if found not guilty let him go, all within 24 hours! BUT IF FOUND GUILTY EXECUTE HIM WITHIN ONE HOUR, NO REPRIEVE! GUILTY - BANG! NEXT!! The good ones, and there are many good ones, will support us because they know the terrorist is messing up their lives too!

This a beat up... as a device politicians have always used the idea of a "credible external threat" as a means to an ends, a tool to manage the populous. The forces love it as well, not to mention that the entire world has now been sucked in thanks to that stage managed 911 disaster, someone shot the US in the foot on 911 but it was not likely to be the people accused, those buildings where taken out with explosives anyone with eyes can see that. Utube the vids... you can see the squib charges going off ahead of the floors falling straight down!

Look at what is happening to our world under the guise of "protecting us".... I'm not sure what this is but one thing its not is a "war on terror" like it says on the can...

2c

Go on... flame me
