Enough Is Enough I Can't Go On I can't Go On No More NO!

I'm sorry, but since our boys are dying over there too, its a little hard to get worked up about any of them. They CHOSE to go into this knowing they could die. They know their people are doing their best to keep them alive while the enemy is trying to kill them. Honestly, if they weren't over there trying to keep them from killing them, then those same enemies would be over here trying to kill us. I thank GOD that SOMEONE is willing to risk their lives to save ours.

You are right of course ellie. I get tired of some of the things that are posted here. But then again, I come in when my health permits me to. I post as I'm able to. I am upset over all of the wars and fighting. I have stressed so many times and in no uncertain words that our troops must come home! Having these kids, young people, men, and women dying for a cause that not many even understand and when there is not much that can be done when some people in some countries feel it is their duty to fight no matter what. I am so tired of the deaths and the guys and girls coming home with their minds messed up. What for? The people in other countries that feel they have to fight us and what for...many times they are so messed up on the issues that they don't even know themselves.

Don't think a lot of people are concerned about the real world, it is easier to stay in the virtual world where there are no real problems. I am sorry about the loss of lives in Afghanistan, but they joined knowing that they would fight for their country and I beleive they are defending you and my rights, if no one fights these people over there to break up the groups that want to destroy the people in other parts of the world, then sooner or later you will be fighting them on your own soil. Whe you join the service you join to fight an protect. There are always loss of lives, whether it be your military or ours (USA) I lost many friends when Viet Nam was going on, but I understood that it was their choice to serve their country. Be proud of what they are doing for you. And I know what you mean by fed up with discussions about texting and my boyfriend didn't call last night. I have a friend that if you mention something on the news that has happen, she has no idea, she does not watch the news and does not want to hear it, too much for her to handle, like voting she isn't interested but when she compained I toldher why complain you didn't think enough to go voice your opinion. But she can tell you all about the internet and Facebook, I want to know what is going on in our world and how it affects me, and yes like you I have deleted many that only respond or post cr*ap about boyfriends or text messages, or things that really don't matter in the real world.

Sometimes sorrow runs out of words, Ellie. I've read your discussions and haven't responded because I can't express anything helpful. The war has gone on too long. Too many lives have been lost. What does it take to bring all the terrorists down? How can all the terrorists be discovered and be brought to justice -- a swift punishment. *Sigh*

Life and freedom is what matters Ellie and the circumstances in which we are asked to surrender our own lives has to be for a cause that it worthy of the sacrifice. I am of the view that the British armed forces are the best in the World. Unfortunately, the Government that sent them was amongst the worst that we have ever had. We are fighting America's war and losing! All service personnel, of whatever nation, go willingly as part of their "contract" to defend their country's interests. However, we must balance this with the fact that we are free to receive those texts from loved ones precisely because there are men and women prepared to defend our right to maintain the lifestyle that we have. So let those trivial conversations continue, but let's just remember that they are sometimes at the cost of real people dying in a place that few care about and fewer still would go voluntarily.

well said ellie! everyone seems to be taken up with their own little problems without looking atthe major issues out there. more people are affected by the lads being out there than people realise. yes u get used to ur loved ones going away but u have to believe they are coming home. my heart goes out to all those who have been touched by losing someone x

Hi Sweet Ellie, I really do agree with you. When I find myself being overwhelmed by these seemingly thoughtless people I too want to scream and cry. Do these petty people really have any clue to what is going on in this world? Not only are we losing really good men and women dying for our Countries but our economy is falling apart at the seams and people are becoming more greedy and corrupt and totally self centered. I want to run out side and scream, open your eyes people and take responsibility for your actions or non-actions. But I refuse to give up. I believe strongly that this will all turn around and I just pray it will be soon. Take care sweetie. Hugsssss Leenie

Sometimes people have their own problems and does not know how to respond to other people problem, especially when the problem does not happened in their countries. And most people here are young people, who know best how to enjoy life. Sometimes I feel like you, wanted them to post more qualified discussion, but then I thought who will entertain me?^^ I have a friend who is a United Nation soldier and I did not hear from him after he was sent for the second time to Afghanistan. He lives in New York before. I still have his picture (bloodied after the bombing into the United Nation quarter several years ago). I still pray for him and I wish we can meet again someday. And I wish of all there will no longer be any war. If I am an American, then I would join any actions there which can bring the boys home.

Things happen and there will always be people who do not care about what is going on in the world.
