People are scared to fight for something other than personal gain.
so are you saying you want a replay of the fukking worthless '68 generation?
answer that charge.
If you're asking me, do I want a generation that'll go out into the streets to protest racial discrimination, a bull**** war, and support the working class, then yes.
i guess you are a fan of pointless deaths in a pointless war, segregation, and taking advantage of the working class? or do you think our wise leaders have always had our best interests in mind and will just work it out for us? lol

I'm a fan of rationalization. '68 was marked by being the epitome of idiocy, and I mos def don't want to see a replay. we had random idiots throwing themselves in front of military planes, dousing draft records with blood, back then. I know that pieces of sh!t spit on my father. you want me to respond rationally?
'68 poisoned our society. and the cowards in charge of it, damaged us, as a nation. If you're ready to praise them, you better be ready to spit on a veteran. and you mos def better be ready to stand up for yourself.
The generation of '68 deserves a treasonous disdain in America. I, for one, will never forgive them. They were what was wrong with America, not what was right.

Spitting on a soldier>>>>>sending soldiers to die in a bullsh*t war and brutally suppressing minorities
people like you are/were the whole reason these type of leaders exist and continue to be elected.

you don't get it.
I owe my allegiances to no man who isn't an American. Go head, rationalize spitting on my father's head. I dare you.
I'm not blaming you for that abhorant activity, but don't you fukking dare pretend to sanction it. That's the sense I get, and I could totally be wrong, and I don't want to put anything on you that you don't deserve. but lets find out what you see as worth protecting...

my mother, the wife of a solider, thinks you ought to invest in some other money making possibilities. Stop trying to make money off the US solider. parasite.
You face a point, do you care about soldiers, or do you care about making money.

i'm not rationalizing sh*t. that action, much like your overall outlook, is just another example of the working class cut throat attitude that is tragic. there are things that i am not comfortable with as far as the 60's groups go and some of their treatment of vets coming back is one of them.
but that's how it goes. throughout american history, dissidents and the military have been at odds.
the military IS basically, the people in power's bodyguards, and a lot of their behavior during the 60's such as, sicking dogs on women and children, and firing on college kids, make spitting look like the child's play it is.

do you know a fukking thing about '68?
idots think '68 was pure, real folks know it was all about tagging the draftees as killers.
my Father was made to be a killer, my question is do you accept that verdict, by your ' 68 ****s?
And by extension, are you in the bidness of making enemies?
Remember, I'm all about ruining the life of anyone who disparages my father. You want to be a 68 idiot, you will suffer. Be ready.
1)i never said anything about 68 being 'pure', but as a self-described radical, certain elements of that year, such as people standing up to their leaders in America, France, Czechoslavkia, Mexico, Yugoslavia, etc appeal to me
2)if we're gonna start threatening people, then fuck you and your bum ass faggot father, what you gon do?

1. That's a shame that you were so gullible, to buy into the '68 mindset, because it was all a commie canard. and if you study the development of it all, you'd realize it.
2. wrong idea, I understand the angst of your person, but really, not kosher. I'm not saying I forgive you, because I never will for what you said, but I'm going to pretend that never happened.
I know the type of person you are, and I understand what you believe, but I'm not going to soil the people of this great nation by pretending you have and standing.
but on a personal standpoint, make sure you don't find me.
and if you want to get hardcore, there are way's me and you can come together.
I keep my mouth shut, you want to come together, it can happen. I can make you hurt, I can make you realize how serious i am. If you're ready to throw down, lets do it, if not, stop being a ***** and leave me alone.
coward...
