[quote="Fluffy_Bunny":37f4f]Why are there so many damn rice throwing liberal commies in my country? I didin't realise how many ppl opposed the war until I went to university today and saw them all walk out.

WTF

Get a backbone people![/quote:37f4f]

Exactly what does courage have to do with being pro-war? I'm brave therefore I want people to die. Sure...

Based on your post I presume you don't have children? I am to be a father shortly and it's sad that I'll likely have to bring up my first kid in war-time.

I just hope it's all over before he|she is old enough to understand it all. I hope even more that there will be no reprecussions.

I'm all for stamping out terrorism but what bravery you are displaying by being pro-war, especially as you're only a university student, I don't know (or are you a teacher? Doubtful).

Are you going to fight in Iraq?

I'm not Liberal (I voted for Labour in 1997, although never again - All parties are the same - let 'em do what they want) and I don't imagine I'm a picket fence type (I don't have the time to protest to anything) but I'm never going to be pro-war.

Blair is paid to do his job and it's a bloody hard one. He can never please everyone, but then who could? I don't have anything truly against what he's doing, he's better at his job than I am. After all, he is only doing what every single anti-war person is doing, standing up for what they beleive in. However, I don't have to agree with it.

It's pretty sick to see normal civilians of any country spout crap about how people are weak for not wanting war when they themselves will never have any involvement in the war whatsoever.

If a British Para knocks on my door tomorrow and tells me why I have no backbone I might actually listen to it (although the very people who will do the dirty work are probably a lot more philosophical about the whole thing than the sabre-rattling public who think they're tough and strong willed).

Until then, go back to your studies and be a good lad.

If you got put on the streets of Baghdad with a gun and got told to go kill Iraqis you'd shit your pants.

Backbone my arse.
