That's an ineffective dodge. It was an attempt at humor that focused on and
utilized an entirely derogatory stereotype about Vietnam vets, a stereotype
that DOES attack Vietnam vets.
It was the utterance of a m***dinosaur.

In any case, I think people have infinitely more right to express an
opinion of vet's than refer to someone as a "little shit-stain".
Cheers!

So Vets are fair game but individuals are not! Now that really passes the logic
test
It is apparent that you have never served your country much less been put in
harms way so someone would continue to have the so called right to call you crazy.

Freedom of speech is not crap. Some of the speech it protects is, though.
Sure they do. That doesn't make them right, but they have the right to do it.
Yes, you have the right to say it. It doesn't make you or the statement
correct, though.
So, according to you no-one has the "right" to breach your view of common sense
and courtesy?
Since people in the NG like to quote song lyrics from time to time, I will quote
some here:
"You say I offended you? Well I'm sorry, but maybe you needed to be offended.
So, here's my apology and another thing: 'F*CK YOU!'"

I don't actually mean this of course, just making a point.
Thank you for your service to our country,

Personally I think they are both wrong John. Althugh they both have the
legal right to do so, they need to ask themsleves if they have the m***
right. Expressing an opinion about something you know nothing
about(being a veteran of war), is NO better than insulting a person you
know nothing about. They both(the replies, not the people) are poor
excuses for human relations, and are the reason many wars are started in
the first place. People just need to think a little more before they
speak.....it would save a ton of trouble for the world.
""All people who do not live in the United States of America are second
class citizens because they live in a second class country because the
US is the only Super Power." Do I have
the right to say that bullshit."--pqt2
--It means "morally right", or "politicaly correct". The writer does not
intend for it to refer to a "god given right", or a "1st amendment
right". Whether you or I agree with the statement or not, is irrelavant.
But it should not be taken out of context.
> You are absolutely right. I apologize.
