    RE: New Members

    I am the person that posted the discussion

     

    and since i am a new member, i will start first

     

    my name is Jenny

    im from Santa Barbara

    I like to eat noodles but i dont like green veggies on there (grr!!)

     

    the reason i wanted to join this group is because i am very concern for our country

    the people who live in this country

    i personally Hate war

    im very upset with the loss of lives who had to go through war to survive

    i dont like violence

    it's an immature way to deal with problems

    i know there are may ways to counter what i said

    but im not just thinking about the loss of lives

    but i worry for the pain and the effects that american citizens have to go through

    i dont want children growing up watching the news on war, thinking that it's so 'cool'

    i dont want any of my friends risking their life, especially when they are so bright

    i dont want moms or dads missing parts of their childs life when it could only happen once

    i dont want grandparents lossing a love one when really they should be the one to go first, a need to know that they family members are happy when they leave

     

    i am very upset and i still am

    if i remembered correctly, bush signed some stupid paper to fund more money into the war

    the war where we are fighting an invisible force

     

    Now that i have posted an example

    i hope that everyone else would do so too

    doesnt have to be like mine

    have your originality in it too!

     

    Let's do this! Yay!!

    What's up Jenny.

     

     My name is Justin, I'm from Salem Oregon. I like Hiking, Swimming, Gardening, and of course grenn vegies. But most importantly I like speaking out for peace.

     This war is a horrible crime. Like all wars. Instigated and exicuted by the rich and powerful with the soul purpose of making themselves more rich and powerful. Meanwhile the common man pays the price with their taxes, thier environment, and most tragicly THIER LIVES.


    No soldier left behind is a great idea, with a well stated outline for action.

    Hi justin


    Thank you for joining "No Soldier Left Behind"!

     

    I enjoyed reading your side of view about this horrible war that is still going on.

    I agree about how life is twisted. To even think about having the guts to make a profit off the war.

    Psh!!!

     

    Anyways, i posted a new discussion.

    You may read it if you like.

     

    P.s. Thank you again! You rock!
