IF ONE OF THESE PICTURES OFFENDS YOU...

I was positive you wouldn't understand and I was right.There is a bond between members who have served in the military they understand the trials and tribulation fellow members have endured. As to combat there is a special bond between people who risked life and limb. I could spend days telling you what life in combat is like but if you have never experienced it you cannot imagine what it's like.

That's great. I could spend days telling you about the bond between nurses and physicians that you non-medical ppl will never understand. LEOs have the same bond with each other. So do many other professions, particularly those that deal with life and death of others. So what?

As to you snitty assed remark about those who saw combat being better than those who haven't I never said any such thing! That must be some off the wall liberal shit you pulled out of your ass. I said combat vets have experiences those that haven't seen combat will never understand nor comprehend.

Yes, that's what you said. You also said that Christiefan and I wouldn't understand because we don't have relatives who (according to you) saw combat, as though you're better than our relatives for that reason. I told you that my uncle served in WWII and was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. You of course ignored that because it doesn't jibe with your notion that we mere women don't know jack. :rolleyes:

No, I don't know what combat is like, thankfully. You don't know what it is like to hold a person you've taken care of for a year in your arms as she dies, because her family was too scared to touch her. That doesn't make me better or more deserving of respect than you or anyone else.

Your opinion is that Kaep was somehow disrespecting the memories of servicemen/women because he knelt during the Anthem. Fine. It's your opinion. Like assholes, we all have them. My opinion varies, of course. Sorry, but your side doesn't own the flag or the Anthem.

Do you know who made Kap a big deal? It was the reds who just had to start bitching because he did not know his place. If they just watched the game and shut up, he would have been ignored and he would have played ball. Maybe a few more players would kneel, doing the same thing to rightys....nothing. It probably would have faded away.
I don't want him to kneel before games. I do not approve. Take away his job and his rights and replace them with mine. Reds are so crazy.

Nothing exemplifies the sheer stupidity of a typical racist Rump supporter more than the Kaepernick deal. Most of them have no clue about the Anthem or how the NFL treated it.

Um, actually she's an accomplished female with an engineering degree. That being said, I do not and never will agree with her racist stance on segregation of the races.

We can agree to disagree on "accomplished". :) As for gender, some people are a lot more fluid than others. :D

Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon? If you have then you know that you can never describe it. It must be experienced.

And then there are those veterans who lie about their experiences, inflating their "combat" experiences, including service in "spec ops" when, in actuality, they were in the rear with the gear. You probably know a couple of people like that.

Why? Because the kid probably has been taught the respect and safe use of a firearm?

I saw no display of safe firearm use. Where were his safety goggles?

Honestly, you trumpanzees can distort anything these days.

Both are about the use of a knee.

The first one tells you why the second was needed.

I suspect more Trump supporters are offended by the second picture than the first. Although they will probably pretend they are offended by both

They both offend me. One is a douchebag cop, the other, a douchebag supporter of brutal communist regimes. And for the trifecta of douchebaggery, a douchebag posted them.
 
#1. Appears to be an excessive use of force. However, I have not seen footage of what transpired earlier.

#2. Is simply an individual exercising his constitutional rights and not breaking any laws that I am aware of. I will admit that I dont agree with his methods, but if poor taste, questionable judgement and being offensive were a capital offense, tRump would have been sentenced to life imprisonment 40 years ago.

A confusing post -- are you saying that she's *not* a female? Based on what? Arguing with you? :laugh:

Let's use "her" atheist argument: Without proof, there's no reason to believe. :D

I can only go by online behavior. If "she" wants to play a white anarchist/atheist male, that's "her" choice. Some people think online forums as "alternative" lives; they play other people like it was an RPG. Others realize there are real people on the other end even if those people can't be seen.

A person can come on here and claim anything they like, but it's their online behavior which defines them.

Very true. That said, if the intent of that photograph was to display firearm respect, it failed. More likely a stunt photo from an NRA radical.

Minnesota is a Blue State....and now it's a Blue Police State. I just watched the Minneapolis State Police arrest a CNN camera crew without cause. Welcome to the New Left!

Do you think the Blue State Police arrested the CNN reporter because he's black?

There's obviously a huge difference between a second-rate football player changing career paths and a police officer killing an innocent citizen. Equating the two is stupid.

The discussion is NOT about equating the two.

The discussion is about whether or not one picture bothers you and one does not.
