The one thing you do not seem to realize is that people who do receive some form of government help as their only means of modest existence are a bit frightened now that this countries debt is skyrocketing realizing they will likely be the first to be cast into the drink. Perhaps it would help you if they all just put a bullet through their f***ing skull so as not to be such a burden on you.
Maybe we should appoint Fnord the position of Decider of who has an actual disability or not....no that would be terrible.
Sweetleaf, if he did serve and was able to serve effectively then he developed tools to be able to do this and he has used these tools to function effectively in society. How was this man able to keep up with everything and everyone?
I do not believe I would've been able to serve whatsoever. I would be the guy who would mess up on the drills a lot. I would end up misunderstanding what the drill seargant says especially if I hear a noise. I may only hear a part of what he says. One time in fourth grade I forgot my lunch ticket. I asked my teacher if I could get my ticket. I thought he said go. He actually said no. We had a minor argument over this. This happens to me in my daily life a lot. Sometimes it can be whole sentences I think a person says one thing and they said something else entirely.
Fnord, did you experience what I am describing here? If you did, how did you manage to overcome this to be able to effectively function in the military?

What one person can do does not reflect what everyone else can do, I am glad for people who find good coping techniques or are able to over-come some of their difficulties I just find it difficult to deal with that some who have look down their noses at people who they perceive as weaker or whatever as though someone would willingly choose not to be able to handle things.
I know for a fact there is no way in hell I could be in the military, my friend who was in it even agrees I do find it strange my best friend was a sniper seems like it would be a hard and difficult job. He thinks this government is BS like I do though, for instance he served and basically got a big F*** U from the government hence the reason it took him so long to get the freaking SSDI for injuries sustained during that career.

I will agree with you Sweetleaf. Instead of bashing folks why don't this man tells us his techniques?

I have a hard time taking things that are essentially an accident of birth seriously. These include nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation, and default religion. Hell, 15 miles further south and I would have been born a Mexican citizen.

When I moved around as kid and lived overseas it made me appreciate being American. Nothing like a different perspective to help you appreciate what you have, not to mention being homesick for anything American when you are overseas. I lived overseas in the 70's when there was not McDonalds and Starbucks everywhere outside America.
Is it true once a country has McDonald's they generally get along with America very well and do not go to war?

McDonald's was in Belgrade in 1999...
