mikeray: I am watching Idiocracy and it looks a lot like the liberal agenda won.

Then the movie is over your head. Stick to Disney cartoons.

This thread never stood a chance. It started at DerpCon 1.

cman: I keep on saying that the world "hero" is thrown around too liberally.

And for doing so, you've earned this:

Ugh. I'm not going to argue with you guys tonight. I have a ton of respect for people who wear the uniform and fight our wars, meaningful wars or not. The word hero gets thrown around too much but it is important they get the appreciation they deserve from us, because the government f*cks them over.

Here's a funny story though, I went to the store to get beer this evening and I parked next to a newer Dodge Neon with two German Shepherds in it. They were barking at me but they were doing ok the windows were down some and it was in the shade. When I came back out there was litter and scraps all on the ground, the whole car was shaking and I looked to see what was going on and this dog tugged his head up with a whole bunch of the seat cushion in his mouth. They ripped the entire interior of that car to shreds. I felt bad to laugh but it was hilarious.

Since no one's taken the bait I guess I'll just have to Godwin this thread myself:



Wore uniform, died, therefore hero.

bojon: skinnycatullus: Yes, how dare anyone question the near universal worship of the military in this country.

Hell, he's not even doing that much. He agrees that war dead should be memorialized and honored. He is just questioning whether they should all be called heroes.

But keep acting like he just spit on a WWII vet's grave with your little lib-hate circle jerk.

Oh, and no soldier, dead or alive, ever gave me the right to do anything. Rights are universal and inalienable... unless you think our founding documents were just a bunch of pretty words with no meaning.

There might be some Revolutionary War soldiers who would disagree. England did not let us go quietly. Moran.

Reading is hard.

Clearly everyone that ever put on a military uniform for any reason and then somehow died is a hero of the highest caliber.

His parents must be proud

Nemo's Brother: Bill Maher and the libs in PETA kill thousands of year.

I've killed a few years, but thousands? That's an impressive wasting of time.

LivefromGA: I can.

You can but you shouldn't.

Anyway, let's say your brother heroically saves some people in a dining facility by diving on an exploding iBook. Well, it still killed my sister so she's a hero who was killed in action running the register. And the guy who was so traumatized he can't eat lasagna anymore and so on til Elvis gets the Congressional Medal of Honor and we can't question LaToya's analysis of foreign policy So now we're invading Australia to get the kangaroo's purses that rightfully belong to our Exceptional Great Americans.

The point is the UNIFORM didn't make your brother smart and it won't make him a hero, either.

Wenchmaster: Every man and woman who honorably wears- or has worn- the uniform of the United States of America has earned the respect of their fellow citizens, if only for the sacrifices they have made on their fellow citizens' behalf.

Uh-huh.

fusillade762: Relatively Obscure: Clearly everyone that ever put on a military uniform for any reason and then somehow died is a hero of the highest caliber.

You know who else wore a uniform and later died?

Spock?

Bahleted: Let's start it here on fark to get the point across. Make the word hero a new meme.

Perhaps if we named a sandwich... Naw. Never mind.

fortheloveofgod: Conversation over.

Good job, hero.

fortheloveofgod: DrPainMD: The last time a foreign military threatened our freedom was the War of 1812.

Have you ever heard of a place called Pearl harbor?

That's in Kenya, isn't it?

cman: Example:a regular combat soldier is no hero. A soldier who jumps on a grenade, however, is a hero, because he could have saved his own ass and let the others around him die.

What if you throw the guy everyone likes least onto the grenade, saving everyone else? Does that count for anything?

feckingmorons: I sure his parents are proud, they raised such a precious snowflake.

I'm not American, but if you think what Hayes has to say about supposed heroes is representative of everything wrong with the other guy, then you really need to recalibrate.

mikeray: I am watching Idiocracy and it looks a lot like the liberal agenda won.

Good call. You just may of a calibre to be a future president.

Way to miss the point. Moran.

Yea it's not as if they done anything remarkable like O J Simpson or Rodney King. I'll take a fallen solider myself.

I'm comfortable calling him a pathetic douchebag.
