It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Wow the patio outside the Oval Office looks like just the back patio at Trudy's the restaurant my Brother-in-law works  :hmm:

That is one hell of a story.  It is a pretty big deal when one of these things is awarded and even rarer for it not to be postumous.

I hope that beer wasn't an import...

No, I believe the term Valmy uses for BHO is "brother from a different mother."

I stopped the video when the soldier chick said "please pray with me".

What the fuck is wrong with you guys, seriously.

We are a military superpower.  It's difficult to get people to willingly sacrifice their lives with out the belief in a higher power.  Or the heavy use of blocking detachments.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hmm...guess the video updated.

It's a ceremony Zoupa, honoring not just the living but the soldiers who've passed away. What do you expect?

President's opening remarks were amusing.

Here's the original video that chronicle his exploits

Does a priest say a prayer at a Quebecker funeral?  Or do you guys light up a fatty and fuck around the casket?

Depends who died. Sometimes a priest shows up, for 60$, and prays & all the little hypocrite sheep that is the baby boomer generation prays with him.

Yeah this isn't a funeral, they're not in a church, so chill out Yi.

Is the US government a christian state? Serious question. I don't understand how you can have a prayer in an official ceremony of state. It just makes me uncomfortable.
