Did I overreact?

1.) i hate assholes who talk shit on facebook about their favorite pro teams. seriously, cheer and all, but to talk trash like you contibuted....................makes you a fucking loser.



2.) i have a brother who has been all over the middle east and south america since 9/11 working for the government. i take the USA very serious. a "friend" on facebook made this comment:

"I refuse to say happy 4th of july being the fact that fireworks and everything are done on the 3rd so today is just a bar-b-q day ... so for yesterday happy 3rd of july"




from this, i went off talking mad shit about this lazy, fat, sack of shit whose family has done nothing for the USA.

was i wrong? i feel not, especially since the last 3 christmas, easter, memorial day, 4th of july, and labor day have been spent worrying if my brother will ever return home to a normal life. he is not military. he is alittle above that. opinions please.

No. He must be a miserable fucker. Who would actually care if people shoot fireworks a day early? Tells me people are thinking of it more.

I didn't read your post but I say yes...She was technically correct but let me guess..she's a bitch?

I don't think it's right for anyone to dishonor those who have served the US but I feel unbelievably dishonored by this country in many ways.

I have to agree with you too BM.

IMHO the last "great thing" about the US is that ANYONE can come here and make a decent buck, no language skills, no formal education, nothing but the clothing on their backs and still they have a shot at becoming prosperous. That is GREAT and can't be taken away from the United States.

However, this whole "truth, justice and the American way" propoganda was dead a long time ago and I am honestly sick of hearing about it.

IT DOES NOT EXIST.

It may have once, but that was so long ago is there anyone alive to tell about it? My husband is 58 and I have yet to hear him tell me about "that time."

I am thinking that it may have never existed. <---- that is THE ONLY part about US propoganda that annoys me. Oh yea, and the part about how it's THE GREATEST PLACE on the planet to live. It is not. Is it A great place to live? I suppose that depends on who you are. But it is NOT the center of the universe.

One thing that you will never hear me do though, is speak disrespectfully of those who served this country so that I could have the freedom to voice my point of view. I am greatly appreciative for that. For those who have an issue with my appreciation, I say buy them a one way ticket to China, somewhere in the Middle East or perhaps Somalia might be nice. Then I'd like to hear them bump their gums for a moment or two from any of those locations.

thats the only part that matters to me. everyone has their opinion, and that is the American Way. To disrespect the 18 year old men and women who have died for this country, fuck anyone who pulls that shit. if done in front of me, i will certainly call that shit asap. no room for disrespect of those who have fought and/or died for our freedom to be here. no room in the USA for that!

We are on the same page here. proud wife of vietnam vet. Never really understood (though my father served my country before he came here - not the US so I was taught to respect those who sacrificed for MY freedoms) till I met the Old Grump.

Kini..I agree with you. Those that came here with nothing and were smart enough to make a business should be celebrated on the 4th, Those were the founders of this country...strong individualist! I don't care if you're Chinese,Jewish,Korean, Fillipino or any other ethnicity...if you have a good business proposal I'm in...
