I have decided to chill out and enjoy the adventure. That is about what I think our civilization has come down to. I have had occasion to drive myself nuts with worrying about the right and wrongs of our world. No more.

It's only war. The eternal pass-time. The one true fulfillment of the human state of being. Nothing else has ever been invented that fills our needs. War does it perfectly. So I am just going to set back and relax. It's only war.

Liberals invite it by denying it is caused by bad people.

Conservatives invite it by wanting to "die for the nation" and other such nationalistic and religious bullsh**.

Housewives promote it by "let's not talk about it. There's nothing we can do to change it."

Nobody ever causes it. The world does. Can we destroy the world so as to prevent war?

No. So set back and enjoy the spectacle. Death. Valour. Honor. Pride. All the things we live for. And die for.

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.
I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.
You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,
Because
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
GIRL:
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.
MUM:
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.
MEN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
WOMEN:
If a sperm is wasted,...
CHILDREN:
...God get quite irate.
PRIEST:
Every sperm is sacred.
BRIDE and GROOM:
Every sperm is good.
NANNIES:
Every sperm is needed...
CARDINALS:
...In your neighbourhood!
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
God needs everybody's.
MOURNER #1:
Mine!
MOURNER #2:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!
NUN:
Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
HOLY STATUES:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.
EVERYONE:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaaate!

Someone's killing my loved ones! No matter, they'll die one day anyway.
Just because war is inevitable doesn't mean it should happen right now, and doesn't mean that a war that's going on is just.
We live for death, valour, honour and pride... does that mean we also live for torture, suffering, fear and hatred?

You don't have to be in the military to fight for freedom.
Every leaflet handed out, every picket line, every political act is part of a fight for freedom.

Yes, but there's an element of putting your life on the line if you're in the military, which isn't exactly the same with handing out leaflets... unless you count paper cuts😵

that is not quite correct - there may be more serious ramifications than paper cuts.

many people who participated in the fight for freedom in india and tibet for instance, were not in the military and did put their lives on the line. the same goes for those fighting within their own country such as during the american civil rights movement in the 60s and the women's suffragette movement in england.

and of these, many lost their lives too :'(

in friendship,
prad

True, I wouldn't reccomend any form of active protest in a lot of countries, but it is possible to protest without risking one's self in today's "more developed countries". Is someone living in western civilisation actually going to be shot for protesting against the war in Iraq? I bet at times that the powers that be wish they could without repercussions.

i fight for freedom. but many americans tkae that for granted. the famous saying freedom isn't free applies. i've seen my friends mamed and hurt and killed but people seem to think it is all some kind of joke. you can argue political agenda and that might be a reality but the bottom line is that there are people over there that belive in the cause and i for one will not forget them.
