Distans yourselves

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2005)

sadly enough, this is not a post about the movie. It is a post to all the people being upset about the term soldier.
I am not going to discuss
1. employed by suffering (Any military) 2. The US (Christian extremist country) 3. Terminology (Dr Phd, jar-head, Marine, papa smurf) 4. Pissing of people on the internet, simply because there is nothing they can do about it.
But please distance yourself. You cannot really believe that most internet readers will have any sort of understanding for phrases like "dying for your country." "Loving your country."
Baging on "leftis" shows a one track mind. I myself, to clarify, am of a mixed political ideal, a sort of left-rightish thing. But that is really not important.
You know what, I began this post with the intent of simply trying to get people to stop getting angry, and return to talk about the movie.
but I know you will not. Probably there will be people that will have some sort of problem with me stating that the US is an Christian extremist country. Which just goes to show that media, predominantly US and UK media, have muddled the meaning of the word.
Anyway, I really don't have the energy to educate those that take offense, and I know that everyone will still be upset about being called soldier. Even though it is the oldest term for those employed by suffering.
Yes you might have "earned" this title. But then, don't call me a Swede. I have earned the right to be called a Gothenburger, and that is not really true either.
You shall call me "Man of the castle of the Götarna" Anything else, and you are pissing on what my ancestors died for.
So there it is, I will never return here. I will never read the comments left by people in all of IMDb. Because you are all very small people, very closed off, yes, even those that are supposedly on my political spectrum.
Discuss the movie without religious, patriotic, and/or idiotic sidetracking.
Also, get some distance to yourself. Don't try to "educate the masses" of something they really don't give a flying ---- about.
Well that is about it, now I am gonna go and eat breakfast in a place where few are religious, smaller part patriotic, still fewer are soldiers. And you know what? I know no one, nor do I know OF anyone that has even been hurt by anything than accidents.
