One of my co-workers...
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 07:03 AM by Dangerman
Is a damn pro-war nut-case. His name is Cedric. He always talk about "Saddam Hussein is a weapon of mass destruction" and "Saddam kills millions" and "Just because George Bush is a liar doesn't mean you have to disrespect him." And he loves to watch "Team America: World Police"!

I wish I can punch Cedric in the stomach!

He always like to hurt feelings to those who oppose this war.

2. That's my standard answer..
...to everyone who supports * and his war. If they have kids, I ask them if their son has been to the recruitment office or if they have Grandkids, same thing. The look of shock comes over their faces, almost like the congresspeople in F/911 when Michael Moore tries to get them to sign up their kids. Unreal.

8. sadly, I don't think a lot of folks get satire or sarcasm
especially when it pokes fun at both sides. TA was funny as hell, and I too know some pro-war folks who thought it was a hoot when they blew up all of France.

4. "Just because George Bush is a liar...
...doesn't mean you have to disrespect him." Hmmmmm... Sounds like a pretty good reason to me. :shrug:

But if you'd like permission to belt Cedric, I say go ahead and paste him one. Just don't get fired over it.

6. I was going to suggest that.
Print several and give Ol' Cedric one EVERY time he opens his yap about how big his balls swell when he hears about deaths in Iraq.
He needs to GO. They NEED people like him over there.

I wouldn't be nice to him. after hearing him go off about how "Hoo-YAW!" he feels about Dumbya and Rumsferatu, I'd be tempted to say something like "Y'know, it must be pretty easy to be all gung-ho and shit for this war when you're secure in the knowledge that it's not *YOUR* ass in the line of fire. The ONLY thing I want to hear from you on this topic in the future is your good-bye when you leave for Basic Training. Otherwise, if I want to hear noise from an ASSHOLE, I'll just FART!"

9. Tell him you will send his name to recruiters
See his reaction. If he has kids, tell him that as soon as you get home, heck, use your cell phone, you will be calling the nearest recruitment center (look it up first) and giving them the names of his kids, their ages, AND his phone number.

I am having to give up long term friends because of what I see as their complete lack of morality. Gay marriage = Bad; Iraq War = Good. The world is upside down.

13. Hi newyawker!!
Thanks for the welcome. I was a moderate Republican a year ago, and then I woke up. Well, the evil of this administration woke me up.

I really like this site.

12. If they're too old to sign up for the military
(even though it seems you can't be too old anymore), I suggest a nice well paid job with Halliburton driving trucks.
