Do you think it's revolting that posters talk about warfare like it's harmless and fun?

1) This is a free country so people can say things that offend you.\n\n2) These people are generally trying to offend you.\n\n3) The best way to deal with them is to ignore them.

Go tell the Russians about astronomical death tolls of soldiers.  Do you realize how many soldiers died in WWII?  Probably not or you wouldn't ask this question.  Our soldiers are not treated worse than criminals either.  I'm sure that many of them did not plan on going to war, but they all knew the risks just like I did.  Why didn't you mean to offend anyone?  There is no constitutionally guaranteed right to not be offended.  Offend all you want.

Nothing wrong with that at all - its good for the tone to be lightened up from time to time.  \n\nIf people believe it, that makes it even funnier too, no harm done.

##rant starts here##\nIf you leave your post during a time of war you leave your buddies to die. \n\nSimple. Death by hanging.\n\nIn Starship Troopers, robert heinlen put it well. they hung the young man at his basic training site in front of the other troops. That is something that you would only have to see once in a life time.\n\nIf you don't want to join up, thats great don't.\n\nBut if you put on my green and you want to run. I feel that the rope should be the last stop on their out processing.\n\n##rant ends here##

Unfortunately you are hurting the military, or should I say the people in the military, but not how you think you are.\n\nYou are not lowering their will to get the job done, and you personaly are not making them disheartened, but by spreading your propaganda you are giving hopr to the enemy and also inciting hatred of your own countrymen by constant references to murders and attrocities which are unproven.\n\nThis will lead to more agression towards yours (and my) troops and potentially deaths. I hope you can sleep at night.

I don't agree.....but I live and let live.\n\nThere will ALWAYS be people out there who will be saying things like this that I may or may not agree with.   I am not going to "waste" my emotions over a comment I don't agree with.  :-)\n\n'Sides, there are occasions that is said mainly to troll and anger others.  I don't see the point in angering people for fun.

You ask a lot of provocative questions. You shouldn't be surprised if you provoke people. Isn't that really your intent?

I fought so that you have the right to belittle me.  Thanks!\n\nWithout solders there would be no USA.  A military gov. that does not like us would sweep in and take our freedoms.  Regardless of how peaceful we are.  The comment of No solders= no war is just plain wrong.  History is my proof.\n\nWhen I got back a group of Marines went out looking for someone to call us baby killers.  All we found was free drinks and easy chicks. Thanks to all the drink buyers and that group of ladies on their "chicks night out".  \n\nThere is no substitution for brute force when dealing with people that wouldn't listen to reason.  I support my brothers but not the war.  I do this by challenging my local gov. to do what is right and help my fellow Marines by being a KEY Volunteer.

Sometimes I think that you are well intentioned, and sometimes just a little bit bonkers, but just occasionally you issue one of these propaganda postings which is just insulting and insensitive to the families of those people who are fighting over there.\n\nThis is one of them.\n\nPeople will always cry at a funeral because they have lost someone dear to them. Its not an opportunity to make a cheap political point.

It's suppose to be tongue-in-cheek humour, but, yes, some people may find it quite offensive. It's a stereotypical view of some of the ethic groups.

I hope you are being paranoid about expressing your opinion on whether something is offensive or not.  That should be subjective, personal to each person and their moral code.

I suppose you may have a point.\n\nBut what if someone said these things about you, could you take it as constructive criticism, or would you be highly offended?\n\nWe all have a huge mountain to climb.

I think it's the way you pose some of your questions. They come over as slightly aggresive and they are more like statements posed as questions. \nWhat you are doing is really not asking questions, but stating your opinion on matters. If you do not like people to be rude you, don't ask this questions/ make this statements, but try to make them more 'blank' i'will try to give you an example here.\nInstead of asking:'Can the USA be the real leader of the world with all this brutal acts of terrorism?'\nA more 'blank way'of asking it would be:\n"can the USA be the real leader of the world or do you think they commit brutal terrorist acts themselves?'\nThat way you would ask for opinions without imposing your view on others. It will be less offensive. So ithink if you chose your wording more careful, you won't be threatend or abused.\nOh, one more thing: if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!\nTiff

No!\nYou are free to say what you like, just I prefer funny to insulting.\nI will never report anyone. Who am I to do that?

I've found that most Q's here on YA are not meant to gain information or stimulate civil discourse. Instead, people here tend to use YA as a "soapbox".\n\nBut the great free-speech tradition of the soapbox is lost in this medium.  That's because these Q's and A's are anonymous.  For a soapbox to be effective, the audience needs to see the speaker (and vice-versa).  Most of what's written here would never be said to someone's face. \n\nHere, we have to wade through what amounts to verbal graffiti, scrawled in the dead of night when no one can tell who the author is.  Graffiti artists and slash-and-burn spam Q-er's share a common trait.  They are children or imbeciles (or both).\n\nStill, I find some gems (like this Q)... enough to make it worthwhile!
