My friend, James...

[calvinseviltwin]

It is the reason I cling to my belief that there IS extraterrestial life, and rather intelligent ones at that.. The human race can't be the most intelligent species around....

hmm. Reminds me of another calvin and hobbes quote.

"I think the surrest sign of intellegent life out there is that it has never tried to contact us."-calvin

Also, if you guys get a chance to read "Weirdos from another planet" the one episode about calvin and hobbes going to Mars could also apply to this topic.

I really do hope he stays safe and he will be in my prayers tonight.

"Politicians start wars, soldiers finish them." Or die trying.

And while politicians sit in their million-dollar homes, soldiers leave their middle-class homes, sometimes leaving a spouse and five kids behind.....

Someone check the two minute poetry archives. I think i got a very short poem entilted "Soliders" which deals with this subject matter.

Here it is!

soldiers | meghan

Gripping the metal
Biting the teeth
How does soldiers killing
each other
solve the world's problems?

Yeah, thanks for that poem, Meghan.

I wrote one yesterday too, but as it is a bit...angrier, I figure I probably shouldn't post it here.

Note: That was written before this happened, just so you all know. Merf

I wish you the best, err... Shing-sempai (and the James too... I hope he comes back safely... I'm sure he will, though! I mean, he does know all those people who are expecting him to come home and stuffies, and so, you know)!

I know someone from Korea... there's this boy who comes to our schools (or used to, because now I'm in Middle School) for a few months to learn English. I don't know what happened to him, but I think I saw him... err...

Once again, I wish you the best of luck, and keep writing -- if not for you, for James!

Not much to say that hasn't already been said, especially about the international sandbox... hope everything turns out okay.

[lupe]

I hope he will be safe. I'll keep him in my prayers.

[oddhatter]

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I'm sure he does too.

I don't intend to stop writing or drawing or whatever.

(by the way, in case you're wondering - this is him : oddhatter.net/mepics/jsb.jpg ...apparently he's gotten a lot thinner and more muscular, though.)

By the way, about that poem I wrote- - I've gotten two emails from two people who agree with my angry little two minute poem. For one - her boyfriend has just been sent off, for the other, its her brother. *sigh*

[calvinseviltwin]

I did like that poem. Angry, but so frigin true.

*sighs* Humans are such a stupid speicies. Power hungry and well, basically George W. Bush is like Homer Simpson with a accent.

...when will we all stop fighting?

By the way, I don't really find this appropriate in this thread but... where's the poem?

Ha! I think it works! 3042? 4042? ROTFL!
Sorry, I just couldn't help it. . .

I decided against posting it as it contains a bit of profanity(and considering it's all of five lines long and not terribly good anyway...). You can look for it at Two Minute Poetry if you like. It's linked in my profile.
