(quote) Yeah, sure, your post wasn't intended to "start a political war" but you knew it would because of the picture and your remarks. Subtle (not!).
Why don't you post a composite photo of the nearly 3,000 innocent people, Americans and others, who were slaughtered in the 9/11 attacks in New York, Washington, DC, and Shanksville, PA?!
They're the ones who were killed while on their way to work, at work or off to visit their friends, families and loved ones. They're the reason our soldiers are off fighting a war to protect the rest of us, the nearly 300 million people in this country who are alive, enjoying our precious freedom every day.
Yeah, like you said, "A picture is worth a thousand words. Or in this case, hundreds (thousands) of lives." So why not post the pictures of the nearly 3,000 innocents who died on 9/11! Then you can make your political commentary (in words and picture) and tell us you aren't intending on "starting a political war."
You're clearly another left-wing liberal with no sense of perspective or balance. I'm sure of one thing - you're voting for Kerry.
I mainly lurk here, watching the fun. I come home from work today and my wife shows me a picture that fascinated her and that she posted in a thread. She tells me that she also included the remarks *that came with the email that included the picture*. Now, I have been as guilty as the next man of not thinking thru what something might be inturpereted as....and maybe she didn't forsee the way the post might be taken, BUT, to then assume (you did) what the intent was and go on attack mode just wasn't called for. I think most of our trouble today stems from people going into attack mode too fast (I am speaking of personal matters, not the war) instead of giving someone the oppourtunity to clarify their intent or meaning. I am going to assume that the issue hit a nerve and you reacted.............but maybe you were wrong in your *assumptions*. You owe her an apology. If you care to respond without flaming, I will read and consider your response. If you attack me for my stating a thought, my opinion of you will decline.
