I was joking to a degree. In reality I don't have real animosity towards America or the Army, but I do draw a line. America is an institution....NOT people. The Army is an institution. When I say fuck America or the Army I say fuck the political institutions that they represent. I want all people to have happiness and peace, though their dream may not be mine. I won't stand in their way or tell them how to do their thing. I wish all people the best....you know peace on Earth and all of that good shit. However, MY attention is my own and I won't let institutions OR people have it unless I fancy giving it.
Now I must say that I can deal with things (people, institutions, objects) in my own way. I have no standards to meet...only my own. I don't even have to be consistent. I am out to be happy...not conform to other peoples version of it. I assign importance to what I want to give attention to in the way I choose. That's the beauty of not giving a shit.

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Yes!!
Do extra emoticons effectively express the extreme degree of agreement I feel towards the quoted statement?

Really, really good. This insures a measure of success.

I'm confused. I was sure that I was going to have an argument on my hands immediately. You feeling alright, man?

Is that the Kentucky version of "even a stopped clock is right twice a day"?

I believe it is a bit more colloquial (see I know a big word) than just Kentucky. I have only heard it once in a really backwoods (and backwards) community about 30 miles north.

2b critical of authority is always a good. I, f.e. always need a 'why' and a 'because' before I even can start doing something.
Now what I tell ya I think is, G*D blessed/s the world, especially all living forms on it and wants us/some to defend that ?
Profane to misuse.
