I think in the event of war, we should do what needs to be done to protect our people if such a threat arises. However if we are at war over resources then we should follow the ethics of what this country was founded on. Having been overseas for awhile, i can honestly say, nobody truley can comprehend or understand the meaning of war and what we have to do to protect and serve. Were supposed to be there to protect our own lands from tyranny, yet while were over there we also have to protect and serve the society of people around us while trying to survive at the same time. So, i guess the answer to your question, "anything we have to."

There is truth that there is a new beginning with all that ends. I really just worry about the psycosis of my kids and how they view what is going on. When i was little., i despised the lies from both parties. Mom and dad. I will never lie to my children about what has happened but at the same time i think i must choose appropriate wording for the truth. and i much choose on what i must not say in order for them to have a good childhool. My children are the best things i have everdone with my life, and i have circled the globe i dont know how may times. All i know, i would sacrifice anything of myself for them not to go through what i did at their age.

I may have an idea for a really good peace of art

i completely agree, and i have and never will bad mouth their mother to them or anyone, hell, i married her for a reason 12yrs ago. May not have the feelings that once were there, and its not that i gave up by letting her have everything, i think it stems from a childhood of divorced parents and what i went through. I refused to let that happen to my kids, and if i have to be the nice one all the time, then so be it. I think my frusterations been mounting on the fact that i am hearing the badmouthing about me coming from their mouths. Example, my son wanted to know why his grandpa my ex's dad keeps calling me a redneck. I pretty much blow it off im not one to get into a name calling debate. I just tell him that grandpa has different ways of seeing people. I guess, all in all, i work two jobs and spend very little money. i save everything i can to open something in a year. I just want to have the peace of mind or that moment in a day, where i can sit down and let the sounds of everything around me flow into my ears instead of clogging them up with stressfull thoughts and hearing nothing.

the end of times lies within us as individuals. We have been given the gift to live and only we will take that prevlidge away. There is no short sight for God, we were planned, look up the chemistry that it took to create life here and rarety of that happening anywhere else in the universe. We were not made to end when we as a species was given life to begin. We developed governments to help decide the fate of our lives, we chose it, may not like it, but like all things there will be change. The last chaos came to us across the globe, do you remember what happened. New life sprung forth from the ice and the ashes. We survived the flood cause we were meant to. So, the end of days, choose your days wisely my friends, because only you can see that far in front of your on fate.

Yeah, I know. Two years and haven't moved on. It has nothing to do with not wanting to as much as, I have two children that live with their mom. I call them every single night and see them on the weekends. I have already gone through answering and handling the tough questions that they can ask. I love my kids endlessly and would do anything for them. Well, during the divorce i kinda of didnt want to drag them through the unhappieness and pretty much let my ex get what she wanted. Including half of my check every week, I dont mind, ive adapted to the change and have bigger plans that are in motion. But now I find myself getting frusterated, I will not lie to my kids, she does amd there is nothing i can do to fix that. I dont want to confuse them by saying that mommmy isnt telling the truth so I let it go knowing that when they get older they will learn the truth. I guess my unhappiness lies within that after all this time i have not said one negative thing about my ex. Everyone was surprised that i never called her a name and would defend her. She is the mother of my kids, but now i find myself gettig mad at the things she is saying to the kids. I snapped finally, on the phone. I didnt curse like she does, but most people get concerned when i talk an in cool even tone. I am ex military and tend to carry a tone of authorirty. I have never used that tone on her and when i did i felt like total crap and dishonored in away. I dont even raise my voice at my kids much less spank them. Usually it takes a look and they have always chilled out. Yet, i hear all the time about my son and her butting heads and my little girl, well, she's just like me through and through and tends to sit on the side and wait listen and then react. I think im just tired of being dumped on by my ex. Even now i write this gritting my teeth, the divorce was mutual, the fact that i was white and her family hispanic and all the secret meetings about me behind my back finally came to a head. I do have PTSD, but geez, i have never snapped on anyone in this country, listen, on my wedding day her mom approached my mom and said, "I really wish she would have married one of her own." I didnt snap but i had to escort my mother from the wedding. Ten years married and finally it ended. My friends tell me i am to mellow, but in truth if i have learned anything from life. Being pissed does nothing, my rant i guess is stress release, im not trying to be right about anything. I just love my kids.
