We could do that, yeah.
Or we could just go hog wild and realise that I said 'Yes get the movie out to them', whilst adding my own view to it. I said it seems selfish that whilst you're in a war, seeing a movie brightens your day. However, I respect that it might actually brighten their day, so get it out to them if they can.
Don't fly off the handle, doesn't make you look good.

well, as long as you get to once again put yourself above everyone else and declare yourself intellectually superior. hope you're ego is all big and fluffy now. thanks for trashing this thread and insulting my intelligence in one swoop.
but whatever, this thread is getting no exposure anyway. im going to PM bilb and ask that she request this thread to be closed.

why dont you take a second and read the signatures/comments from family members of soldiers overseas and vaterans in that petition and you may not be so quick to speak just for the sake of speaking.
You asked for an opinion....I gave you mine.
I did take a second to read the petition and I gained exactly what I expected to gain from it....absolutely nothing.
I'm sorry I don't get teary eyed when I see such incredible requests as
Nearly every member of my generation I've ever met is a SW fan--and now thousands of them, kids in their twenties, are serving in the Middle East. I've been eagerly anticipating the release of this movie since 1991, and I know that if I were one of those kids and unable to see it when it hits the big screen, I'd be distraught...to say the least. Do it for the troops, Lucasfilm (and Fox). Do it for the USA.
Just what the troops need...an excuse to go running around camp screaming LIGHTNING BOLT! (watch video)
Heaven forbid our soldiers ever become distraught!
ill never understand why people just feel the need to take a shit all over something like this.
and no, nobody asked you for your opinion. just a signature. if you dont want to give it, then fine. but why did you have to ruin it, politicise this thread, and take out your frustration against a corrupt administration on a bunch of troops who represent the nation's lowest tax bracket? i hope you're satisfied.
And I'll never understand why people go so far out of their way to defend something as moronic as this. Guess we have different viewpoints....
You're sooo right. Nobody asked for my opinion, but at the same time...no body asked for yours either, yet you feel compelled to share it with the group anyways just as I do. Only difference, I'm replying to your jabs at me...you're replying to everyone with a view against this petition.
Who's being political here? The person who's labeling our troops into the smallest tax bracket...or the person who is more concerned with the health and physical well being of our troops than seeing a damn movie 2 months before they would normally get to?

Link, Ithink that you are totally missing the point here.
No, no...I get the point quite clearly. I just also see how pathetic the point is...
Great, they saw the movie, they feel better, wooohooo...moral out the roof!
Now how does that help them survive out there? 😕

thats the big difference.thanks again. now you can feel superior and bask in the warm glow of your own ego. now can you please just stfu?
Angels in heaven are crying right now...
This has nothing to do with superiority or my ego, this has to do with common sense. The American military already has their work cut out for them without having to worry about seeing the Star Wars Episode 3 on opening night.
Just what we need..."Sarge...ughhhh...I got....shot....in the gut. Does...this....mean....I...miss Star Wars?"
I'm sorry...it looks like you're trying to tell me to shut the f*ck up but all I'm hearing is some infant crying in the distance.

The milk of human kindness runith over
and why would this be an additional worry?

A) Where does everyone get these mysterious quotes and theories of me putting myself above everyone else intellectually? I'm really starting to think they don't exist. If you think I am, then thanks. I'm extremely smart and intelligent, yes. Why should I say I'm not when I know I am? In no way does that equate to me putting myself OVER others, unless you put yourself below me.
B) I stated my opinion on what I would be thinking had I been in the position, if you bothered to read the rest or any of my posts considering the topic, you'd see that I agreed with you.

I bashed her?
Oh really...and what did I say to bash her?
I showed no sympathy or compasion...I didn't bash her.
and Hi, aren't you the one who just asked me to shut the f*ck up over the internet? Who's hiding behind a keyboard? right. next.
