Re: Ponder this you liberal fools
Tell that to my dad who served in the Army for 30 plus years. Tell that to my son who is in the Navy now...and Oh BTW...I am meeting him at the pier today, returning from the Persian Gulf.

Re: Ponder this you liberal fools
hmmm, comparing combat kills to murder rates, I'm not so sure I'd rather live in Iraq over Detroit...
"There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January. In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That's just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq."
apples should be compared to apples:
"Crime is also high [in Iraq], and is worst in Baghdad, where the murder rate is about twice that of Washington, DC (where it is currently 43 per 100,000 population per year)."
"Detroit came in second [behind Washington DC]...with 42.04 per capita."
not trying to start anything here (Steve, you know I'm your buddy!) but it's gross exaggerations and generalizations like these that make me think twice about what someone is saying, and what else is being exaggerated (even if what one is saying makes me feel good).

We should all be thankful Detroit and Washington do not have an ongoing war on their doorstep. The murder rate would be astronomical.

I know how it is. I live in a terrible neighborhood too. Just the other day my neighbor was convicted of breaking a community convenant when he painted his swing set an unapproved color.

Re: Ponder this you liberal fools
Our neighborhood is nutty, too.
One old guy attacked another, then is charged. The one attacked puts his house up for sale after walking house to house, in the rain, without an umbrella and with a gun on his hip telling us all about our wacko neighbor. He's later picked up at the corner.
Then there's the family with the gazebo at the rear corner of his yard that blocks his neighbor's view of the water. They really hate that thing.
