Libby: Veterans' March on 3/14

[Wonder Why]

15. I'd like to respond to your comments.

I only responded to the posting in this forum because both as a veteran and one that, in my capacity as a veteran with other veterans, who has participated in multiple events as mentioned in an earlier post, I am insulted by the use of anything other than logic to hear what apparent non-veterans think we should do or not do or be careful of at such activities.

The topic was not about your beliefs. It was about veterans. I could care less about your beliefs but believe you are fully entitled to them. I find the combination of "for entertainment only" as indicating that the predictions are just a joke in this forum. Joke all you want but don't pretend to tell veterans who have protested what you think you see happening.

Are you a vet? If not, then please don't comment on whether YOU think it is insulting. What an outsider thinks who has not experienced the military and who has not participated in veterans activity of the nature discussed and what one who has, should feel are not the same. I FEEL INSULTED.

All I saw were cards. If the reader has other logical, professional, experienced or scientific evidence of these things, then that evidence should be provided.

My references to right wingers is that they believe in a God who tells them (and some claim they were directly told) or who "interpret" in from their readings, want to tell everyone what will happen with a certainty that I don't believe in. I neither profess to be a Christian, be religious or believe in any higher power and I believe all lives have meaning but not from any external power whether it comes from a right-wing God or from people who feel they have a special power to forecast the future other than what anyone of a logical mind could not do based on the evidence everyone has available to them. I could care less what Stephen Hawking thought about the type of things. He was an immensely brilliant scientist & one of the best in history but that doesn't mean his thoughts are any better than others about anything outside his area of expertise.

My comments were NOT "irrelevant to the topic of the thread" as you boldly put it. It was directly relevant because it was SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE "Veterans' March on 3/14", a veteran topic, and it IS insulting to this disabled veteran. Please do not tell me that you know, whether you are a veteran or not, that it is not insulting to me. Let ME make that judgement.

I will not remove my comments. You may have them removed, especially, if you don't show this particular reply. But removing my comments is a way to hide from the issue. Do what you like. I have never come to this forum until I saw the title and wondered why a topic like that was not in the Veterans forum or a general forum where I would have expected someone to comment about the March which I can, unfortunately, not attend.

I have long since added the forum to my "completely hide" list and only continue to comment because I see them when I look at "my posts" as they continue to defend "beliefs" as justification to claim that "predict" something about the Veteran's March yet show it as "entertainment only". I'm sorry. I'm not entertained. I remain insulted by the topic.

If you think any of my comments to you are insulting in any way, I do apologize but let's say we are now equal.
