What the heck is this site for? Flamebait? Attention? What a moron. :rolleyes: It sure doesn't take a genius to spot the flaws in his logic. Everyday people surprise with new lows in intelligence that I previously thought impossible.

does that mean they un-officially condone violence?

I don't think this is serious.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

I though it was a gag-site at first. Then I saw in the weblog that he appeared on Hannity and Colmes last night. I didn't believe it so I went to FoxNews.com, looked up Hannity and Colmes, and he really did appear. Too bad I missed it.

Anyway, the site is hillarious. More power to the guy. The best way to expose loons is to ensure their full access to freedom of speech. He won't have to worry because our armed forces will always be there to fight for his right to it.

I'm pretty sure its a joke designed to make people realize how stupid those "support our troops" signs and car magnets are.

I'm not sure I understand why those are stupid but I am still willing to consider the site a gag-site. But the site owner did appear on a major news program so maybe he's serious. In the end, who cares?

Military spending accounts for 50% of American federal taxes, so your call to abolish the government is really not far off..

No. Dislike the cause, the war itself all tyou want, but don't take it out on the common soldier.

Thinking the magnets are stupid is not taking it out on the common soldier. We don't need to force some sort of contrived "support" by displaying the damn things everywhere, as if people are afraid of their real feelings about the war.

The 'common soldier' is there because he wants to be there.

They're stupid because everyone supports the troops. This site is trying to show you how ridiculous it would be if there was actually some people who didn't.

Actually, social spending accounts for over 50% of federal spending.

49% of income taxes goes straight to the military.

I'm not going to debate what money comes from where but the Department of Defense gets about 15% of federal spending. If that's 49% of income tax I don't know but then what are you saying the 51% goes to.

The irony of all this is that (Granted this is real) the man who made this site would be shot and killed if it weren't for those troops that protect him.

Oh, and the 'support our troops' signs may not do anything for YOU, but if you came back from a war that a good majority of people copletelly disagree with, but saw just as many "Support Our Troops" signs as they saw "Say no to war with america" they might be able to have some sort of peace of mind. Those signs really aren't for us, they're for the families and soldiers themselves.

You guys do know that the vast majority of those "support our troops" magnets are made in China. Don't you? Kinda ironic.

I've been told that it's not actually "support" as they say, because it's just some people capitolizing on our troops and raking in profit...
someone please correct me on that, cuz it makes me feel so bad for everyone who was duped into buying one

That's certainly what it is now. When they first started appear though it wasn't.

I doubt most people think that the purchases support the troops.

Well, some may buy sponsored magnets but if the packaging or display doesn't claim that there is no reason to think it so. Personally I always though people got them to express their sentiment. Not because they think soldiers benefit from the purchase.

Then perhaps they'd think twice about staying in the army.

They all think twice about it. They just come to different conclusions.
