Yesterday ... again in the paper about him... so he could sing and dance... he also like sleeping with little boys... I guess he did not like being "Black" either judging by the way he had his skin color change.

No need for an apology Nepas. You are 100% right for what you said. And I am sure others will agree.

As normal AMERICANS, we have "lost" the use of many words. Their meanings have been stolen from us by......(just fill in the blanks). Hero and Role Model, are two of hundreds that have been stolen. m.j. was just another wealthy, but talented entertainer, with a tortured soul. Hero no, no, no, in no way. And to have some non-thinking half-wit calling him a "hero" just denegrates the word, the country, and the true heroes even further. And no NePas don't apologize, in fact shout it from the rooftops - in fact if more of us do that, we might be able to take back this country from those who want to ruin it. In nodding servility, I will step down off my pulpit in deference to the wishes of the great folks who give us this wonderful forum.

Amen! Caneyscud you are as always spot on!
Nepas,
It cannot be said enough that your kids are the definition of hero.
I pray for them everyday.

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here....the missing word starts with a D...???? Am I right for the big prize??? ;)

manxman · July 15, 2009, 12:04:39 AM

The world has gone nuts paying homage to the likes of MJ, fawning over celebrities and making heroes out of money grabbing sports stars and the like ...... your are so right NePas.

That is a very sad and moving story Manxman. Thanks for the post. The Daily Mail, in their post, certainly supports your opening sentence about the world having gone nuts. You'd think they'd have the decency to remove the "FEMAIL TODAY" frame on the right out of respect. Rest in peace gentlemen and may God be with you.

NePaSmoKer · July 15, 2009, 03:28:04 AM

My deepest sympathy goes out to the families of these HEROS fighting for freedom throughout the world. I hope we never have to go through the pain they are going through now. Two days before my one son deployed back to Afg he called me and told me that his wife who is also a SF soldier is going to have a baby ;D I know with what i have tought him while out hunting being aware of your surroundings and his military training he will be ok.

Brits, American, Canadian .......... whatever nationality they are all heroes. And your sons have the prayers of many, including here on the forum, riding with them NePas.

Quotemy one son deployed back to Afg he called me and told me that his wife who is also a SF soldier is going to have a baby

Lovely news! :)
