Re: Assorted War Fatalities & Curios

This is no more to the point that govt is your enemy. They will mislead you and use you only for their personal gain, which is why I will NEVER travel to a foreign land to fight an "enemy". They gotta come to me. *scoffs* If everyone thought like that there would be no wars. Just think

Re: Assorted War Fatalities & Curios

I don't see any of these images as the enemy, I just view them as the tragedy of a once terrible terrible situation.

And yet war has always gone on and will continue to do so.

Utterly moronic...FYI, if you decide to 'wait' until they arrive at your doorstep, it's too damn late...

No what's moronic is the fact that you didn't at all understand my post. IF ALL stayed where they were at then these photos WOULD NOT exist. That's a fact. You clear now?

Your post was utterly pointless, much like the one I'm responding to now..."if we all stayed where they were at then..."

Is English your second language?

Try acknowledging the realities of the world we actually live instead of the ones you WISH existed...
