At first I thought this was a bit harsh.........
"You come here to post a link to another board that posts lame, sophmoric smack about a team we (or the vast majority) root for."
Then this drivel was sent in:
"Funny that coming from you who lives in the most hated country in the world.
By the way thats coming from a poll with 100s of thousands of votes."
AC him/her please. Hell Ban him/her.
I am reminded of Jack Nicholson's rant from the witness chair.....
".....And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post......"
Which of course those people like deadge do not have the stomach to do. I refer of course to the current war on terror that we as the lone super power are trying to stand up to.
Then that made me think of Pastor Martin Niemoller's famous words which WOULD apply to the idiots like deadge that quoted that poll. These people want nothing to do with what is right. They want only to do with what is easy.
In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
What are you gonna say when they come for you, deadge? Help I am only little ol' New Zealand?
I have met several people from NZ over the years. Most have more honor and pride that you appear to have.
Go away jerk. I say jerk because you lie far beneath a troll.
I am sorry to the Planeteers for my non football response.
