$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('careinke', 'I')'m not sure how calling a person a scumbag is a physical assault. Are there certain words one should not use? How about when you call religions you don't like "weird" or dangerous. Is weird less of an assault word than scumbag?

I think they should throw Medal of Honor liars in prison as long as they throw someone like Santorum in prison for claiming he will bring $2.50 gas.

[seahorse3]

yes Rangerone. Promises to reduce fuel to $2.50 are far more damaging to the public than claiming a personal victory that never occured.

Cool on Santorum, can we add Obama in there until GITMO is closed and the deficit is cut in half?

[careinke]

Just think if lying was always illegal. There would be no more politicians.

Well, if that is how the majority of people feel then I will just go ahead and wipe my ass with the constitution, because the damn thing has been raped all too hell anyway.

Careinke is quite correct about why people fight. In combat you fight to keep yourself and unit alive. Pieces of ribbons and medals are not on your mind.

Medals come after the fact and are a recognition of valor. It is important to recognize those actions which are above and beyond the normal call of duty from a motivational viewpoint. Both for the person receiving the medal and for those others to see, that the country cares about the sacrifices being made.

In all my time in the service, I've never heard a soul say that they were fighting for their country to get medals and ribbons.

But back to the topic at hand. No I would not make it a crime to claim to have a medal you didn't earn. Such claims only denigrate the person making them. They should be shamed out of office for doing so and I literally would turn my back on such a man. The First Amendment is too important of a part of our rights to continue its destruction.

Republicans lie all the time, why should this be any different? Whatever gets you what you want.

Besides, even Republicans know Liberal chicks are hotter and more fun than those frigid Republican shrews. They have to lie or suffer.

Would you want to bed Anne Coulter? God, what a nightmare. Aside from what you might catch.

Actually the opposite is true from my experience. The more inhibited the woman, the more wild she becomes in bed when you break that conditioning.

Trust me, I know.
