I'm in tears after a conversation with a woman on the bus.

I was sitting a little ways away from her when a soldier got on board and sat next to her. She started talking to him, and I was kinda listening in on their conversation. He was back after a 3 year tour of duty, and wasn't sure when he'd ship out next. She has a son in Afghanistan, and I don't think the soldier noticed, but just talking to him was hard for her. He got off, and a little bit later I could see she was beginning to cry.
 
It took me a couple minutes, but I got up the courage to go talk to her. I told her I wasn't sure it would make her feel any better, but there are some of us out there who are dedicating our lives to stopping the wars, to making it so that no one has to go through what she has. She half-smiled at this, and we began talking. She asked me what I was studying, what I was doing with my life, and then she told me about her son.
 
She said that he said only three words about the war: "It was nothing". And that's all he would ever tell her. She said that he got a bronze medal, or something like that (she wasn't completely sure). Apparently he asked her if she knew why he received it, and when she said no, he told her he got it for killing someone. And she almost broke down into tears again, saying "I didn't raise my son to kill people". She didn't blame him, but...how can you not be broken by that? Your son has killed someone. But, she said, he brought back all 35 of his men without injury, and the pride shone through the sorrow. She has friends whose sons weren't so lucky, and she's proud that he kept that from happening to other people's sons.
 
The whole time, her eyes spoke so much more than her words. She said she knows that he fought and killed someone for nothing, that the war is for nothing, that her son could have died for profit and bigotry. She said that her votes counted for nothing, that the people she helps elect just turn and look the other way (Democrats, I might add. This woman understands what's going on). She knows that they won't do a damn thing to help her. She knows.
 
And the look in her eyes tore me apart.

**** war.

**** the people who make war.

And **** the people that support them.

 :bouncy: <<<despite appearances, not a jumping frog.

Anyway, the thread's mostly a bunch of youtubes of old hippie music.

I award TWO bongs.    :stoner: :stoner:


This could have been a four-bonger, had there been a conversion, clapping or nods of approval from other bystanders, or even remembering to start with "So".  The material was edited better than most bouncies, hence my award of two bongs.

Either the Dummy sat on the bus with Cindy Sheehan's doppleganger, or the Dummy made an elaborate, awful bouncy.

     Didn't he JUST tell her in the previous sentence that he'd devoted his life to making wars not happen? Sorry, DUmmy. You fail at dramatic elasticity, the art of making a scene believable.

I had to get the chalkboard to figure this one out.

Tell me if I'm correct here...

Since it is IDENTIFYING as male that means it is really female. Since it is bisexual that means it is (a) a lesbian who likes a wiener ever now and again and/or (b) a horny animal that'll jump whatever is available.

Why are there are only three choices available for sex on Skin's island?    You can choose from male, female, and do not display.


That's crap.  If Facebook can have over 40 different varieties, what does that say about Skin's?

I vote "do not display" for all primitives.

Please, primitives, do not display your sex.

I wish, but no.

In it, the drunken Pitt gave a looong political lesson to the bouncer at the bar where he was a resident alcoholic.

Every few paragraphs, Ty the bouncer would interrupt with a question for the master, and the next couple of paragraphs would answer Ty's question.

Though he was crawling, puking drunk, Pitt remembered every word and his bouncy was a verbatim record of the lesson.

Ty and the rest of Bukowski's drunken patrons were in awe of Pitt's political brilliance.

I have to agree with your sentiments.
So much so that I relish the opportunity to chime in with you and say..."That's crap".
As an aside I think the same about rap...it's (c)rap
I must be way behind the cutting edge of societal evolution.
My sig line has my count at 12.
We may have another contender for DOTY.
As for bouncies, it would be a great idea for a thread that explains how to properly analyze and grade bouncies.

Of course being a DUmmy the proviso 'available' leads to a dramatic narrowing of the field.
