I think the difference between me and you is simple. You read about the effects, and I have seen the effects. With that said, there is no better place on the planet to be than right here in the good old USA!!!!!!!

Well saying i havent seen the effects is a very simple minded statement considering you dont know me but i can say for my age i have seen and been through more then many people twice my age.My own father who is twice my age said this to me,its a different world today and for those that are out there today,the youth they have it tougher,he also said i had been through and experienced more then him,im not sure if my son will see or go through what i have but i pray he doesnt,the world 10-20 years from now doesnt look very bright.

Are speaking from experience or from what you have read or seen on TV.

You see your definition of a prison is a country club in countries I have been to.

Im speaking from experience,as a troubled youth i spent alot of time in facilities to be honest,im not ashamed of it,it was 10 years ago,i grew up in poverty and came from a broken home.Im not one of these kids who had everything handed to him,i can remember having no electricity,heat,no phone,no cable,one pair of shoes a year if i was lucky,eating bread literally,no milk on my cereal,but guess what i never had public assistance ever as far as welfare or anything.I have seen the system from the inside and can say it was worse then anyone can imagine,not just isolation but being treated as a number and not a human being.This country is becoming one big prison and alot of guys shouldnt be in there because the punishment doesnt fit the crime always.I dont mind telling people these things on here,i mean im not a bad guy,just made mistakes because i didnt have a good home life or direction,im still searching for direction but am living a much cleaner good life.I currently live in AZ and have a great 6 year old son,a model girlfriend,a nice home,and not to mention my good looks,haha,just playing,but life is better and it sure beats being dead as many of my friends are or incarcerated as some of them are.

JB Cases said:

So how do you propose to fight communism? With guns or opportunity?

There is no need to fight Communisum because it is only a name. Throughout history many names have been used to acheive the goals of evil people Communisium is only one among them.

I also grew up in poverty, but that did stop me from acheiving goals I set for myself. I took the only road I had open to me at the time and that was the US Military. Do you think that was an easy way out, it certainly was not. The most important thing I have learned in life is to not feel sorry for myself, because in this country anyone has the ability to change their life style. It may not be easy, it most likely will not be fun, however, it certainly is better than the alternative, you see in other countries people have no opinions and what you call poverty is the Hilton.
Dude, I have been places where kids going to school step over dead bodies like they are not even there. I have seen children starving to death, who we could not even feed because they were to far gone to eat.

No disrespect intended but this subject brings back some very bad memories!!

No problem and i understand having bad memories come back,im just telling you i lived a pretty crappy life growing up and put it this way i didnt know anyone else who had it bad,certainly none of my friends had it like that.Years ago i finally got past living in the past and feeling sorry for myself,my son helped me do that and i also realized i wasnt going to die young it seemed as i was waiting for or thinking i was,it just wasnt in the cards for me.I have been seriously contemplating the military,i just dont want to serve under the current administration,i also dont want to leave behind my family and never return,the last thing is i dont want to be sold a bill of goods that isnt honest as it seems alot of recruiters do.I know im not going to get paid alot,i dont know what the current enlisted soldier is making but its not mainly for the money,its more about the experience and putting myself in a situation to do something positive with my life.I have been feeling a calling to sign up,i have been thinking about it for years but very seriously the past few months everyday.I just think that serving the country is good,i live here,this is my home,i just dont want to get injured and be treated like a number again in a VA hospital.

And so your solution to this is to withhold the means for the people of these other countries to climb out of the poverty they are in and deny them the chance to be in a position to change their government?

You would deny the people of these countries the rights that you cherish?

I joined the US Army and went to Basic training in 1977 and I retired in 2003. The Cold War was not cold, our country was involved in conflicts all over the planet. The military is what each individual makes it, each of us make our experiences good or bad. When I joined the Military I was afraid of many things, that I may not succeed, that I may not be able to over come my fears, that I would have to leave my family and that maybe I would not survive. Dude, I was a sponge I wanted to learn everything possible, but most of all I want to change my situation in life. I think the most important thing I have learned in life is that fear is the greatest single thing that will stop some one from achieving their goals in life. In our country anyone can improve themselves, if they are willing to over come their fears. Now I am not saying that fear in itself is a bad thing, because channeled correctly, it can give you strength, keep you alert, and keep you alive. Where fear becomes negative is when it is aloud to control a person actions and responses. You see most people never succeed at anything they do because they are afraid to try, and the easiest way to do this is to feel sorry for yourself and make excuses.

Now, I do not know if the military is for you, and I do not believe that anyone can definitely say it is. But, I can say that there is only one way to find out. I personally think that anyone who truly puts their heart into anything they choose to do is never a loser. To me a loser, is someone who quites instead of trying, because everyone makes mistakes, but those considered intelligent do not make the same mistake twice.

If you have any additional questions about this subject, please PM me and I will give you a call so that we can talk.

Have a good night!!!

I deny no Human Being anything, their own Governments make those decisions, some in the name of Communism, some in the name Socialism, and some in the name of religion. But, what ever name these Governements choose to lable themselves with their actions are the result of the poverty their people endure.

John this is the wrong forum for this discussion, start a thread a thread in NPR, I may participate, I mean it is a free country!!!!! But to continue here is not fair to the rest of the forum membership!!!!

manwon said:

To all concerned, I will have one of Deans cues in my Possession early this coming week. I will post a fair and a very unbiased review around the end of this month.

I think this is the least I can do, to show Dean I am sorry for my involvment in the derailment of this thread. I would hope others who were involved would take similar steps to atone for their individual actions.

Have a great Night Dean!!!!

I've chatted with a Dean Cue owner whos opinion I highly value and these cues play pretty sporty. For $300, the owners have a nice serviceable SP.

Just to reiterate what a lot of the Dean Naysayers were semi-ranting about, the forum marketing of the cue (comparing to Searing, SW's etc, saying it will improve your game etc etc) was very infomercial like and put the cue in a bad light from the get go.

Also, JB Cases-if I was trying to sell stuff on this forum and was concerned about how I was being perceived by the forum members as a whole, I would never have gone off on the tangents you have. Regardless of whos right and whos wrong and who said what, you've taken a hit in the eyes of some of the members.

Just to set the record straight I never compared my cue to Southwest,or Searing.I said at the first that I love Southwest cues,and I have never seen a Searing cue,so I have no idea what they play like.

So far everyone who replied with one of my cues has been happy,several have asked for another cue because their friends want one too

If you want to see something big wait to see who is about to announce
a glowing endorsement.Non-paid.

Gus???
