Is anybody else watching CNN? This is surreal. They got graphics, models, big maps, it's like it's a fucking video game. What a cold cold world this has become. One more thing, everytime an explosion is shown in TV the stock market ramps up. How fucking deranged.

Yeah it is too cold. Sometimes I don't even feel like playing tennis, but then the moment passes and I lace up the trainers.

I heard CNN got kicked out of Baghdad yesterday. I'll tell you those journalists have more balls than I do. What keeps the Iraqis from taking them prisoners as leverage to save their own asses?

And how do they know they won't get blown up? I guess they don't.

They don't. International journalists are fucking insane.

THEY DON'T TAKE THE JOURNALISTS BECAUSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO FEED THEM?
I FEEL LIKE I AM WATCHING WIMBLEDON.

WHAT KIND OF CAMERA IS THAT ONE THAT SHOWS THE IRAQI SOLDIERS AT NIGHT?

I agree with Brett that it's surreal and cold. Now, I don't normally watch T.V. but I gave it a go the other night and it didn't take long for me to get the same feeling. Plus, you understand that many of the images shown on T.V. here were actually recorded by Arab media. Al-Jazeera whatever it's called.
How strange, that.

Well, one can only bravely hope for the best.

Rosie, if you are going to post, please don't do it in all capital letters. There is a key on your keyboard marked "Caps Lock". Find it and push it until the light turns off or until it changes when you type to normal sized letters. Thanks!

I think it's sick because it seems CNN and most media have had time to produce all these models and maps for a war we weren't in a week ago... The other morning I was amazed (caps lock on now) SHOCKED AND HORRIFIED!!!! to see the weather in the middle east on the morning news.
Don't get me started on the 'embedded' journalists. I keep thinking they are crushed between food rations on a supply truck or jammed up the ass of some unwitting soldier, embedded as they are.
I decided my anti-war stance would be to give the boy I'm seeing a blowjob while we watched the chaos unfold.
May as well make someone happy. Have fun that's outside my usual nature.

Giving blowjobs is outside your usual nature? I'm not too sure about that. But glad to see you are making love not war. I swear people get a perverse horny-ness from all this, like if we are going to die we might as well take showers with the neighbors. And all that other good stuff. Oh yeah, h. and I already wrote a story about that somewhere.

Anything miss K would like from the desert? I'm back in about a week. But i can't take live cacti through Cali. How about a sexy pair of ASU shorts, all the co-eds wear them. ASS SHAKING UNIVERSITY (sorry Mark) ASU On THE ASS.

and boy did their b-ball team bite last night.

you must have inspired me Mc, I'm more inclined to blowjobs than reading these days.
K loves shorts and she's grown out of the funky pink Wisconsin one's you got her a while back.

moving away from one of my favorite topics (blowjobs)...

i heard that you people in the u.s. have not been able to see the al-jazeera videos of the captured and injured GIs. is that true?

if it is true, what's your take on it?

i myself am unsure. on the one hand, such videos surely go against the geneva convention which states that prisoners shall not be subject to public humiliation.

on the other hand, i think it is better for the prisoner's families for them to be shown, than for them to be dead. and: the bush regime is not exactly normally all too worried about geneva (take for example the treatment of the taliban in cuba). also, such video information will be set free sooner or later through the internet. and, not leastly, war is hell, and to be shown on video is nothing compared to the killing and the damage the allies are doing in iraq.

(i have seen the videos, and they are heart-wrenching, by the way).

They refused to show them here. They were going to and cancelled at the last minute. My neighbor's brother is over there and he got very drunk last night and started to cry. I didn't know what to do. This is his story, the guy is in a band, he is touring and writing songs and all is well. He gets a girl pregnant, they fall in love, he joins the Army for money, but unlike Elvis, he is shipped of to war and it doesn't help his career. His brother and my neighbor, who used to be in the first band together, and who he is very close to, tells me that if anything happens to his brother he might kill someone at a bus station or the next bastard that he sees. Since I'm the only one in the room with him I remind him that he is married and letting out his anger and frustrations that way would only be letting down his wife. I put my hand on his shoulder, hand him a beer, and we sit in silence, me playing records, him quietly crying.

The Beastie Boys Girls, Girls, Girls, doesn’t have the same fun ring to it during war.

fucking hell. yeah, i'm whining again.

Post by **Sloth** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 3:58 pm

I think it's great we're so concerned about the Geneva convention when it comes to our troops... and not when it comes to Guantanamo Bay, starting a war for no good reason, and killing civilians used as human shields on a daily basis with cruise missiles.

Yes it's terrible that Americans are being killed but I bet the French thought it was terrible too as well when little Jean Pierre froze to death while attacking Russia in the 1820's. And when Heinrich never made it back from the invasion of Poland in 1930's I bet tears were falling into the saurkraut of many German families.

It's too bad that people get suckered into going to the Army. It sounds like your neighbor would be psychotic anyway however. Anybody who thought the Army was good career move after the movie Stripes came out should have their head examined. Ever hear of an abortion and a job delivering pizzas?

The war pictures that get me every time are the ones of little brown babies with half their faces burned off. Go America! Wooo! Better dead then brown.

Okay. Bad is bad. And war is bad. But when you are sitting in a room with this guy has tears running down his face because he is scared shitless his brother, his best friend, is going to die, it touches you. There is the idealistic and there is the real. Unfortunately we can’t live a righteous life. I don’t want anyone to die. So that makes me against the war. And I’m glad I didn’t make the decision that Iraq, this war, this invasion, this freedom giving-as they say here in the desert, was worth one loss of life. But then again Bush and I don’t see eye to eye, him being more of a tooth for a tooth kinda guy. I wish he would go to every family on both sides of the conflict and confront the grieving families and offer his appologies.

yeah, mc that is a touchy story. i am glad you are there for him.
i would like to see a minute of the tapes, but only for a i can't believe it reaction.
i am upset for the people in the city in those heavy buildings, starving with no place to go.
this is why i mentioned earlier , months ago how good the movie the pianist was and how anyone who saw it would dread what is happening.
mark, i am sorry, you sound pissed, but i don't have a lot of time and getting something on here was my goal. that is why my comments are childish and crude. hopefully, it doesn't ruin your day.
