me and a few of the guys had a conversation with one of the moms who's son was coming home.. she said that they had been there for a year and the plane had just arrived that afternoon (saturday).. so they were all being bussed to the local high school in plymouth to see their families and friends.. there was a total of 3 full busses like this one, which drove between the fire trucks, under the flag with the whole town crowded around makin a hell of a lot of noise for then

i just found it to be a reality check in that these guys had seen shit i will never see or experience outside of the movie theatre or museum. no matter how proud i am to be canadian, i admire the patriotism and courage you yanks have. this was just kind of a reality check cause i saw one of the guys at our hotel with some of his friends who didn't go overseas.. this guy had a stare on his face like he was still looking at shit happening in iraq.. scarred for life.. they were an artillery so i know they had fired a ton of shit off.. they brought back these huge fuckin guns being towed by trucks and i know those guns had killed people.. maybe you had to be there but for the guys who have come back, are in or are going overseas for the usa, best of luck..

i know this is off topic but since most of the guys on here don't check the off topic part of this forum it didn't seem like anyone would be able to relate.. anyways, any comments would be cool

and by the way, check out how slick our bus driver was.. keep in mind it was a 52 passenger coach.. brand spankin new (even had hid's)

how was hockey?

we went 1-2 and obviously didn't make it into the second round. we had 1 game friday night, won 6-2, then played saturday morning and night and got blown away both games.. something was wrong, we played brutal games on saturday.. but we play at home against northwood prep from lake placid on saturday, and they beat us on saturday morning so we're gonna look to fuck 'em right back up.. i had a slow fuckin weekend, one goal no assists.. thats ok though.. this year is basically over, saturday is the last game.. next year will be good.. we'll be just as good as any D-3 school..

edit: check out out website for info if you want.

why didnt you take pics of the big guns?

i can just look down my pants to see a big gun, ooooooooooooooooweeeeeee!!! lol

i feel bad for those guys in Iraq. they have no fuckin idea whose foe or friend. suicide bombers driving into their convoys n shit, kids blastin at them, gunfire coming out of no where. its just hard stuff for us people back here in the homeland to comprehend what those guys do day in and day out. maybe i'm just uninformed, but what the fuck are they fighting for? we caught saddam and all the major military leaders the US wanted, so why the hell are soldiers still over there. man, the Marines are takin hits daily now......

i dont think we even went there for saddam. Its all a big cover up because the US wants the OIL!!

i dont think we even went there for saddam. Its all a big cover up because the US wants the OIL!!

Wow, you mean you figured that one out all on your own???

ay, logik be nice.lol. i was just fillin xevenskyline in

Saddam sells the oil. If we don't get some kind of stable, capable government going, then more malicious individuals begin to run the country and sell the oil. They make a profit and spend thier money for bad as well. Only the strongest survive so we have to help the smart survive.

I definately give major props to all of our soilders over there. I know two people that have been over there so far, both Marines. Thank you to all of the men and women fighting for our country, whether its right or wrong cause.

It doesn't matter why you guys went over there, the bottom line is, the States kicked out some piece of shit when every other country was writing their 3rd "angry letter".

I too have a friend in Iraq, with the 278th Cav. As far as our troops being in Iraq still....look how long we stayed in Japan and Germany after WWII. We just now pulled out of one of our largest bases in Germany. The combat may be over, but we will be policing Iraq for a few more years. As for the oil....get real, the government isn't that obvious. If the US government wanted the oil, they would have been a hell of a lot sneakier.

i also have a friend in IRAQ, but hes not exactly fighting. He is with communications and he has a contract with comcast. He sent me back about 4 disks that are filled with videos that have been taken, and one of the disks just contains pics. If i had any where to upload em, i could maybe try and show you guys some. I dont know if you'd like to see em though, alot of the stuff that goes on is very.....sad, and i feel bad for the people that have lost there lives.

actually they're definitely after some oil. why would the iraqis light up their rigs in the desert?? that happened so many times.. even seen vids of it on cnn.. but you have a point when you say they'll be there for a few years. the main reason why they're still gonna be there is because there's still a large amount of suicide bombs going off.. the american military wants to filter these people out. i'm sure there's a whole lot of snooping around that we dont hear about cause the rebels in iraq aren't supposed to know.. the us has to be looking for rebel groups to control so the suicide bombs stop.. to me, thats why they're still there 'fighting'


edit: that was post 1337 BOOYA

1337

i still havent figured out what that is

1337 = elite = the shit

It means LEET or Elite, it's from Counter-Strike and other online games, 1 is L, 3 is I, 7 is T, 4 is A, 6 is G, etc. Then there's hardcore leetspeak which used shit like |\/| for M and |\| for N and }{ for H and >< for X, etc.

And To Add To That Matter, We Have More Oil Overhere Than We Know What To Do With, The Liberals Wont Let Us Build New Refineries Because Of Some F'ing Snail That Happens To Inhabit The Piece Of Realestate That They Want To Build On, Or Drill On, The Us Hasnt Built A New Refinery Since 1973, How State Of The Art Is That? And War For Oil, C'mon, The Un And French Were Selling Rationed Food For Oil. We Are There, Setting Up A New Government, And Of Course It Wont Be Stable Overnight, But Look At How Many Iraqi Citizens Despite Death Threats Went To The Polls For Thier First Free And Democratic Election?

The Middle East Has Always Been Ruled By 'tribes', Dictators And Was Unstable (and Until Oil Was Found) Dead Broke... Now They Have Money, Dictators, And They Wish Us Ill...

The Middle East Is A Poisionous Snake, What Better Way To Keep From Being Bitten? Crush The Head. Iran Is That Head.

In Iraq Oil Isnt The Goal, Iran Is, And With Nuclear Capabilities, That Has To Be Done With Kidd Gloves, So, Plant A Democracy On Either Side (afghanistan & Now Iraq) The Iranians Will See The Benifits, And Turn Over A Tyranical Dictatorship Ruled By Religous Zealotts, From Within. Without A Shot Being Fired.

how was hockey?

i miss the NHL!!!

LA KINGS RULE!!!

i miss the NHL!!!

LA KINGS RULE!!!


IS THAT A CHANGE OF SUBJECT? LOL, HOW ABOUT THEM METS? LOL.

The Kings suck, they've been sucking since The Great One left. Montreal Canadiens forever!

You want talk politic in a 240sx forum….?
Look, survive is for the fittest, there is no fairness in the world… if Iraq had WMD it would have used them when it was attacked. Why u think N Korea built WMD? so no one (especially US) mess with it. Iraq was week ad it was a matter of time till it was invaded, (oil). Who cars, I want my oil to be cheep, hell I use 91 octane and it cost me $28 to fill my gas tank!
I feel bad for our boys dough, I which that they return safe.

The Kings suck, they've been sucking since The Great One left. Montreal Canadiens forever!

Damn Maple leafs damn canadians, I which I can go to Canada and watch some hockey!!! LOL!

There's no hockey up here either and it's all the fault of the american expansion teams!!! DAMN YOU, DAMN THE BROCOLLI AND DAMN THE WRIGHT BROTHERS!!!!.....wait....I mean DAMN THE COYOTES, DAMN THE BLUE JACKETS, DAMN THE WILD, DAMN THE MIGHTY DUCKS, DAMN THE PANTHERS, DAMN ALL THOSE SHIT TEAMS!!!

i never get hockey where im at :(

Why not? I'm sure you can get the Canucks games.

let's all have a moment of silence for the absence of NHL.....







thank you....

oh and btw Detroit Red Wings rule... nuff said... hahaha..

i can never find any hockey on TV, and i never know when the games are. The only hockey we have here is like local divisions, and they arent that great because they dont get in too many fights (i love the fights, but the last game i went to there was only 1 fight, wtf?)
