To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late!
On a whim, I bought the American Sniper bluray while in Walmart today. A fantastic movie about a truly great American and hero. There are a great many people on these boards who could learn from his positive example.
sorry, we aren't living in starship troopers earth yet.
I don't know about you, but i want it for the coed showers and giant robots.

I'm guessing you're talking about the movie, not the book which was far superior.
If you've never read it, the book is more about a society where personal responsibility is encouraged and an integral part of society. Whereas the movie is some Hollywood lefty's view that the kind of society from the book is evil and fascist. Basically, typical lefty projection.
But Chris Kyle was the kind of guy from the book. He did his job, protected his country and his fellow soldiers, and then gave his life trying to help many of those same soldiers adjust to bad situations.
*sigh*
Yes I have read the book.
I have also watched the anime(own), all the movies(don't own), the computer animated series(don't own but it's on netflix), the new computer animated movie(own and have autographed by a cast member), played the rpg(own), and only don't play the war game because I don't have that kind of money.
You can push the personal responsibility angle all you want, but the future there is still a dystopia. Personal responsibility isn't the panacea many believe it to be, and beliving those who do not agree with your mindset to be typical to the point you can automatically dismiss their views takes you closer to the films(I'd say the third one) than I believe you are comfortable being.

What can I say, I calls it like I sees it. Yeah, the future in the book wasn't perfect. Nothing ever is. I don't know about dystopian, though.
As for personal responsibility - sure it isn't the end all be all of making the world a better place, but I think it's better than the opposite direction it seems like some people are going in.
Lastly, sorry, but I do see many on the left as being wannabe totalitarians (hello speech codes, political correctness, and forcing people to engage in commerce they don't want to). However, I never said I don't see folks on the right that same way, though.
it's a little early for halloween decor don't you think?
Biscuits & Power Rangers! That's how my boy rolls!
....ooookaaaay...
The Boy's favorite movie is the animated Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.
I've also allowed him to watch Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Star Wars: A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, Thor, and The Avengers.
