Which is funny, because the only person in this thread who is disparaging the military is you, when you called people who served leeches who are just looking for a handout.

Also funny that us liberals - particularly the queer ones - so hate the military that we made being allowed to serve openly a major policy fight last election cycle. You know, those people you slandered by saying they don’t “contribute” to the country? Yeah, there’s a whole bunch of us out there right now risking our lives to protect your ungrateful ass.

I’m betting we don’t get a “thank you” for that, much less an, “I apologize.”

Athena wants as little to do with politics as possible. The fact that She is sovereign over the Earth does not change her judgment that humankind is better off not worshipping ANY supernatural entity, as no entity who solicits worship can be trusted

The better part of a day has elapsed since I noted that the OPoster needed to actually address objections and debate points with specific responses. Instead, the thread has wandered on in Pit Lite mode with no such responses.

Closed.
