Thread: Saddened by sick behaviour

    Thumbs down Saddened by sick behaviour

    This sort of behaviour makes me sick as well as saddens me.
    I have been the victim of taunts and abuse since my accident ten years ago, but when it is aimed at a bomb disposal engineer who had both legs and part of an arm blown off while looking for IED's in Afghanistan, a blast that killed the rest of his mates, it makes my blood boil. The article says he steped on a bomb, but the news said he was looking for IED's

    I am humbled by the attitude of the guy and his family.

    Maybe we should send the louts out to Afghanistan, and let them go clear the IED's!

    It is very sad indeed what this nation has become.

    Its become typical of British youth I'm afraid.They seem to care about nothing but themselves .But with a government that does the same i cant see this trend changing in the near future.Not until we bring back corporal punishment,police with power to police,and conscription
    ( Or maybe a few ex military vigilante groups. )

    We Vietnam vets went through a lot of that crap. One of my buddies lost his legs and when he discharged out of Walter Reed I went to escort him home as his mother could not get off work. There were some cruel comments at the airport and at a local mall(shopping center). He was called a "baby-killer" at the university he attended by one of his professors and some radical students. He never flinched and never gave up. He is a successful business man today. Fortunately our attitude toward our soldiers has changed here in our country for the better by most. I hope it stays that way. These young men and women are heroes.

    I admire this young man's courage and determination. I wish him and his family Godspeed.

    Yes, Henry, they were correct - just like mine were. And, as you say, it is an international problem.



    Not exactly a "universal" problem because we all know the Vulcan kids are pretty straight arrows. . .

    Really? The new Star Trek movie had some Vulcan kids behaving rather nastily toward young Spock, just because he was half Vulcan. Bi racial, er, bi-species...

    Bigotry knows no boundaries whatever...

    Of course, one of the primary reasons why the Vulcans invest so heavily in supressing the emotions is that they are -at heart- an extremely volitile and violent race!

    What do you expect in a world in which you can't even step on the strees in your uniform without getting taunted?

    I only had two idiots calling me a murderer so far and both of 'em were gone before I could even declare them my personal live bullet catcher in case of WW3.

    True. Am remembering that little bit of Trekkie trivia myself. Apt here, imo.
    .

    My thoughts & prayers are with this young fellow. Am thinking he will go far, perhaps as far
    as Nick Vujicic, whom was covered on 60 minutes before. Have a kleenex handy:
