Well good luck, Oerdin... I hope all is safe for you.

First of all, I'm not a leftist. I share some opinions of the leftists on the issue of the Iraq war, but I am conservative on most other issues, including but not limited to feminism, taxation and gay rights.

Second, I'm pro-military, and I've done my military service with pride, as every real man should. Did you? But being pro-military is not the same thing as being pro-war. The main purpose of having a military is to prevent war, isn't it?

Third, you are correct, I don't really mind for anybody but myself (and my family). I'm a conservative, after all.

Being against the liberation of Iraq is just plain wrong in my opinion.

Anyways, you are anti-gay rights? Fine.

I am not pro-war. First off I have university to finish. And Secondly, I might apply for Spanish military service.

And finally, the war against Iraq had to happen.

You are not a conservative...

I know where you're going, Oerdin. It's an icy place. No, not Alaska. Greenland. Thule, baby, Thule!

(BTW, that's just a wild-ass guess on my part.)

hi ,

write from time to time

take care and watch your six

have a nice day

devilmunchkin · October 31, 2003, 19:07

yay!
not that you're leaving..but that it sounds like you got some work. have fun in all the places you go!

Chemical Ollie · October 31, 2003, 20:02

So , Fez, why would university stop you from going to war? You could always finish university if you get back home, you know? It's easy to talk the talk when you don't walk the walk. I made sure to get my military service done BEFORE I started university. I don't think you will do your service ever, you just like to tell other people to do it.

By the way, Fez means fart in Swedish. Everytime I see a post by you, I can't help thinking that. Sorry.

LOL! Oh sweet Jesus, is there a language more apt!

that was good...

Go get some Osama ass bro!

connorkimbro · November 1, 2003, 12:45

montery, ca! whoohoo! that town's awesome.

Oerdin · November 1, 2003, 19:42

I'm at the Army reserve base in Sacramento right now and the word on the street is they'll be sending us to Afghanistan.

Talk to you later.

OzzyKP · November 1, 2003, 19:59

Yea, go get Osama.

And stay safe.

Pekka · November 1, 2003, 20:02

Oerdin, Thank you for going out there. Be safe and get back in one piece.

Wow, that's even worse than Imatra (In Finland, right on the Russian border, where my company sends me all the time).

It might be somewhat safer than Iraq right now, but it's still the A-hole of the world. Stay safe. I bet you won't score any local chicks.

Spiffor · November 1, 2003, 20:10

Forunately, there are always whores.

Pekka · November 1, 2003, 20:10

Chemical Ollie,

what an uplifting post..
What's wrong with Imatra? (this is rhetoric question, you are not supposed to answer this).

Chemical Ollie · November 1, 2003, 20:25

Pekka, have you ever been there? Man, it sucks. It's like an American rural town - it has no real town centre, just some buildings spread out all over the place, and you need a car to get around. Well, at least the hotel is great - the Tzar's castle. Apart from the crappy dance music in the night club, of course. They say the place should be filled with Russian hookers, but I have never seen any. I suppose I was lucky.

Sorry for the threadjack Oerdin.

"Getting yourself stoned" has another meaning in those countries.

University is in the US. Spanish military service is in Spain. And I haven't thought about it much yet.

Shut up.

Pekka · November 1, 2003, 20:29

Chemical Ollie, well let's not threadjack this one, but I know what you're talking about. Never been there, but seen some footage in the news or something.. looks very rural

. I'm sorry you have to go there so often.

Giancarlo · November 1, 2003, 20:31

Sorry about that.. just letting out some steam. Chemical Ollie is a fraud.... anyways, I hope Oerdin does well in his service to his country.

Look if I don't serve in the Spanish Army, I might go into the Civil Guard...

Chemical Ollie · November 1, 2003, 20:34

Fez, you need some training in argumentation skills. Saying "Shut up" naturally won't make me shut up. You have to use reason and logic, not just empty words.

And Oerdin, sorry again for the threadjack.

Giancarlo · November 1, 2003, 20:37

As I said I was letting out some steam.

I used to do that more often...

BeBro · November 2, 2003, 02:48

Good luck Oerdin.

Oerdin · November 2, 2003, 19:33

Argghhh! I wish they'd just give me a final anwser as to where I'm going. They're saying half of us will go to Afghanistan and half of us will go to Iraq but they aren't saying who's going where.

Why does the army have to be so secretive? I just want to know so I can begin planning and buy books about the history, culture, and language of the country I'm going to be in.

Immortal Wombat · November 2, 2003, 20:06

Read up on both.

Dis · November 2, 2003, 20:12

ack!

One reason I did not join the naval reserve as I had planned. I knew I would be called up for Iraq (as our local reserve unit is based in Bahrain).

I guess you don't have to worry about being unemployed though.

take care, be safe

funny to see how there are lotsa people leaving Poly these days. I think we're all getting old. Soon there'll be only the owners and old museum items like Ming or rah or AH.

I will never leave! Much to the chagrin of other Poly posters.

that would be cool if someone from Poly bagged Osama. Maybe you'll just stumble over him hiding in some alley in the middle of the coalition forces. It wouldn't suprise me if he was hiding in plain sight. Keep your eyes open.

Theben · November 2, 2003, 22:37

Good luck, and keep your head down (both of them, re: whores

).
