Err, they're in the Air Force. And they have a video camera. How is this a demonstration of wasted dollars?

It was more of a response to what "clone" posted about American soldiers having a wretched life.

Give them a break, they've probably been isolated from their families and friends for such a long time that they're minds are starting to fry.

You didn't respond to it... You showed two people who have a camera trying to be creative... God forbid they try not to be miserable?

That's my point - they aren't miserable. The way clone's video portrayed them made their lives sound worse than genocide victims in Africa.

Because, of course, soldiers must work 24/7 just like everyone else in America does. They get no time for breaks and should have absolutely no downtime!
I hope you realize they work 12 hour days, 7 days a week, and that is not including prep time before and after. That is a hell of a lot more than you do, dumbass. They can do whatever they like with the remaining time. 
Urban- You go to college, don't you? Yet you still do GFX, tuition dollars at work!

It has to happen at some point in time.
Also, would that be considered irony? I'd view it more as a coincidence.

You don't understand. Urban is one giant bitch. Asking him to stop bitching is like asking a 300 pound person to stop eating, it isn't happening any time soon.

I'm not like this normally. I posted this and a slur of other shit when I was drunk and pissed off.

Heh, well, think what you want, but I usually stand by my opinions firmly. This might have been an over the top response when I was a bit out of it, but at the time it seemed funny.

You went the wrong way there. Liberal arts are the foundation of everything intellectual about our society. Insulting them is like insulting anyone that has studied language, social sciences, interdisciplinary studies, or rhetoric. Not a good idea to go insulting everything that separates us from beasts.

Fine, it won't pay for his art major.
Either way, you're an ass.

Fine. I'm an ass. Goes a long way to support your theory that you're the calm one who doesn't insult people needlessly.

At least I didn't go on a rant for no reason. Oh, and it was needed, because your head has grown to the size of Barry Bond's.
