PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE EMAIL AND YOU SEE WHAT IS MEANT BY
RED FRIDAY.
Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine
Sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but I didn't put two & two
together.
After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who'd been
invited to sit in 1st Class (across from me), and inquired if he was
heading home.
No, he responded.
Heading out, I asked?
No. I'm escorting a soldier home.
Going to pick him up?
No. He is with me right now. He w a s killed in Iraq . I'm taking
him home to his family
The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me like a punch to
the gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that, although he didn't
know the soldier, he had delivered the news of his passing to the
soldier's family and felt as if he knew them after many conversation s in
so few days. I turned back to him, extended my hand, and said, Thank
you. Thank you for doing what you do so my family and I can do what we
do.
Upon landing in Chicago , the pilot stopped short of the gate and made
the following announcement over the intercom.
"Ladies & gentlemen, I would like to note that we have had the honor of
having Sergeant Steeley of the United States Marine Corps join us on
this flight. He is escorting a fallen comrade back home to his family.
I ask that you please remain in your seats when we open the forward door
to allow Sergeant Steeley to deplane & receive his fellow soldier. We
will then turn off the seat belt sign."
Without a sound, all went as requested. I noticed the sergeant
saluting the casket as it was brought off the plane, and his action made
me realize that I am proud to be an American.
So here's a public "Thank You" to our military Men &am p; Women for what you
do so we can live the way we do.
Red Fridays.
Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday.
The reason? Americans who support our troops use d to be called the
"silent majority." We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love
for God, country & home in record breaking numbers. We are not
organized, boisterous or overbearing.
Many Americans, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of
America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity & support
for our troops with dignity & respect starts this Friday -- & continues
until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that every
red-blooded American who supports our men & women afar, will wear
something red.
By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every
Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the
bleacher s . If everyone who loves our Country will share this, it will
not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops
know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever,
certainly more than the media lets on.
The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make
things better for you?" is "We need your support & your prayers." Let's
get the word out, by example, & wear something red every Friday.
IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON.
IF YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS -- THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON.
IT IS YOUR CHOICE.
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!!
The other day I saw a car. The license plate read "AFOXCAR," and there was a cute stuffed fox perched the top of the back seat. There were pawprint stickers on the lower corners of the rear window.
Tell me, SE++, is it at all possible that the owner of that car is not a furry?

Defender did these and called them "throgs". Did someone else say that already? Perhaps Defender?

He's not that bad but a lot of people insist on giving him shit forever and ever because he said some really stupid shit. He can't help being Turkish. They aren't so sensitive when it comes to the ladies.
His statements were out of ignorance, and not malice. Other people have done far worse shit around here and boasted about it and they were lauded, so fuck it.

I'll agree with this
Malice seems to be far more tolerable here than ignorance
If he had said it to hurt someone or make them cry or something
everybody would probably love him
Yeah.. since when is ignorance ok? His statements also were not only ignorant, but generally pretty stupid.
Do I have to get back into my thing again?
Shut up about this shit. ege02 is young and said some dumb shit, big fucking deal. The thing I'm alluding to was much worse and many of you fuckers defended the unrepentant party.
Dyna, you're implying that someone else's worse behavior excuses ege02's bad behavior (I call it bad because I am defending Wally, and he identified it as bad, and you are attacking his stance with the defense of ege02 being that someone else was worse, so it's now excusable).

Then I realized that it'd be completely unnecessary. It's been done before.
That depressed me.

It's part of being in a forum, right; lowering your value system to correspond to the majority's?
