Man, I just wanted to post a funny joke to promote patriotism on this forum and get some people to laugh.
I had no idea it would blow up like this. I guess there are a few bad apples in every crate.
I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and the fact we all share the same liking of the RX-7's and after 9-11, I thought we would have the same laugh at the joke (hence: towards the Al Quaeda).
Actually, other than that one sideways fella, I think we all see pretty much eye-to-eye on this issue. The recent breakdown in post quality is pretty typical for Gen D.

The following is my opinion. It is expressed by me and if you don't agree with it I really don't care.
Since the first man rose up and said there must be a god because that is the only way to explain the things I don't understand there were great wars. When the human brain began to reason it looked for answers of why all around him existed. With out answers he/she developed faith in a higher power. As science progressed and found the answers too many of those questions the lesser in the species were still unable to grasp those answers. They continued to hide the science from those that could understand and to kill others around them with different faiths in an attempt to further their own. Men and women kill each other out of greed, lust, bigotry, jealousy and for many other reasons, but almost every Great War on this planet has been caused by religion. Until humans interbreed to the point where we are a single race and science progresses to the point of answering all the questions that the human mind can think of we will kill one another out of the faith in a god that can not be proven to exist in any place other than our minds. Religion is the greatest weapon of mass destruction in the world and there is no way to disarm it.
And I loved the joke by the way... I'll be sure to use it with all the military personel I know and work with...

Clearly, your failure to credit my cerebrally stimulating posts speaks volumes about your complete and utter lack of intellectual acumen. That, and the propeller beanie you're wearing... on your peepee.
