*sigh* Why can't WE get generations to participate like this?

Israeli girls write messages on a shell at a heavy artillery position near Kiryat Shmona, in northern Israel, next to the Lebanese border, Monday, July 17, 2006.



An armed Palestinian woman from the Popular Resistance Committees movement holds a Rocket Propelled Grenade during a demonstration in Gaza City to protest against daily Israeli incursions in the Gaza Strip.

1. Thanks again for reminding me of my deprived childhood

[pooja]

2. Why would we want participation like that?

[hippiechick]

5. No shit!?

:scared:


Although I'm sure there are more than a few Jethro Redneck's and their ilk who'd pay a buttload of money to have a 'bomb signing' picnic down at their local recruiting office - y'know ...
"it's patriotic and 'Merkan to show them towel heads over in Eye-Raq whose yo' momma" :eyes:

[ixion]

3. just wait until the social infrastructure collapses here in the US

you'll see more of this type of 'participation' then. :-(


That's the only difference. We have air conditioning and grocery stores and running water and electricty. If that stuff were gone, all hell would break loose.

10. Our day of reckoning is coming isn't it? When it gets here, there.......

.....will be a many very shocked people who have no idea what to do and most of them will be neocons/fundies too.

[Bretttido]

19. Those things will always run here

I industries behind them would never allow the flow of money to stop.

[ixion]

21. and that assumption is the fatal flaw in the premise that is

'Murika.

[Freedomofspeech]

4. I'd rather see our people.....

Marching for peace. Until people in this country are personally affected by this (and any) war, they are going to sit on their sorry butts. I have attended any Peace March (including in DC)I can. The back of my car is covered w/bumper stickers, and the front of my purse w/pins. People make fun of Cindy Sheehan for her efforts, and say she is an embarrassment. Yet, people gripe all of the time about no one doing anything to stand up, and do nothing themselves. As my husband all says "Don't just talk about it, do it!" God (or whomever) help us.

6. Underpants, WTF are you smoking??? I'm guessing this is sarcasm,

but really...

All this killing and carnage is not funny. And it CANNOT BE CONDONED. The Israeli government is WRONG. It is murdering innocents and destroying a country. And the world sits by...

[underpants]

12. Of course it is sarcasm

:sarcasm: <------ LOOK HERE. Okay now?

Thankfully we don't have to face anything like this. The reality is that these two photos show the passion and the vicious cycle has been created.

I really just needed a subject line that would draw attention. I think these are stark nasty photographs.

[RagingInMiami]

16. The "sigh" was a good indicator that it was sarcasm

Sarcasm, to be effective, needs to be subtle. Otherwise, it's the same as elbowing somebody in the ribs, asking them, "get it, get it?".

[johnnie]

7. Hey...in the first picture...

Is that Ann Coulter standing back there :shrug:

That woman doesn't look like a typical middle eastern woman to me.

[DanCa]

8. Does Ann Coulter know how to spell her name?

I just thought she copies and paste her name from other peoples websites?

[LaurenG]

9. Sadly Mr Underpants

I think it would happen should the US ever be attacked and bombed.

I'm not liking those pics. :-(

[Skinner]

11. This may be the best post I've seen on DU about the Arab/Israeli conflict.

This really shows the inanity of the whole situation.

Funny and sad.

Thanks.

It's GOT to be better than some of the whackjob stuff that was posted here yesterday :eeys:

[RagingInMiami]

14. But apparently

You need to add the :sarcasm: smilie because some people are taking you seriously.

[YOY]

17. Oh UP...

I know sarcasm when I see it...

AND THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT IT. OMG UNDERPANTS IS A PSYCHOTIC FASCIST! HE'S REALLY A FREEPER IN DISGUISE!!! HOW COULD WE HAVE BEEN FOOLED FOR SOOOOO LONG!!!

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

15. Where you "sense some animosity" toward one country slaughtering children

and destoying the infrastructure of a country?

I'm sorry. My hair is on fire. I cannot believe the world is sitting by and letting carnage continue. The utter destruction of a country. The murder of innocents.

Newt thinks this is just dandy. So does Dear Leader. I don't.

[MannyGoldstein]

18. This is F&^%ed - Teaching The Kids The Wrong Thing

Both pictures are disturbing, the first picture is particularly disturbing to me - they are teaching the kids to demonize the enemy, and that war is a good thing, rather than a sad responsibility.

[RedStateShame]

20. That might require some of the silver-topped Red Staters.....

wanting to practice what they preach. "What? Turn it into a great big glass parking lot!! Well, that is clever, did Michael Savage tell you that? Well, here's your chance, pal!!! Put your uniform on, get in that plane, and show them why they call you the Greatest Generation!!! Hey, where you goin'? I thought you loved freedom!"

[jonnyblitz]

22. I STILL find the little girls MUCH more troublesome.

for some reason. If it were palestinian kids signing the bombs and an elderly jewish women with that grenade I would find the palestinian kids more troublesome. the kid thing bugs me more though it sucks all around.. :shrug:

[laststeamtrain]

23. Didn't something like this go on at the WH during...

...Jeff Gannon's overnight visits? :evilgrin:

[Xenotime]

24. You want participation in the hatred, killing, and destruction of other..

.humans? Why would you want that?

[Marie26]

25. Sarcasm
