I don't watch the Daily Show, but I remember a bit they did a few years back where they had all these code pink types protesting in front of a Marines recruiting center.

The interviewer was kind of gaining their trust, getting them to talk about having the right to free speech, and right to protest, and that those rights need be protected. And then he said, "Wouldn't it be great if there were an organization out there that defended those rights?" And of course they were like "Oh yeah, that would be fantastic! They should do that! (the government should create an organization that does that)"

Gah. I don't like that word.

Posts like Elena's make me angry and offended. I looked at her Facebook; she's a college student in Georgia. Apparently a number of people have exercised their 1st Amendment rights and have bent her ear; she's closed up much of her account.

Aside from the noise pollution, I can't take much of what she says very seriously. Is it a shame that she's apparently drunk the kool-aid? Damn skippy. She's clearly privileged and is sheltered from the big bad world by being wholly indoctrinated in The Sims: College, instead of understanding what's really going on. I'm thinking she's never experienced hardship, strife, hard work, threats of war and so on. She's simply another high-spirited punk that swallows anything the media feeds her and is likely shocked that people don't agree with her.

I think I pity her, more than anything else. People that don't understand that the gift of freedom has been made to them through the sacrifices of others, are definitely poorer for it.

Shame on her. It's through shame and other attacks on the ego that this type of person learns; I hope that a veteran will be able to see if her words are as brave face-to-face as they are with the semi-anonymity of the net. Messages to her Facebook will only provide her validation and vindication.

Let her make as much noise as she likes. She's exercising her rights, and she will reap what she sows because of it. I expect there'll be some extreme mortification in her future. She is an annoying mosquito, and takes nothing away from our appreciation of our troops.

I understand how some will receive her spewing as a personal insult. She deserves your wrath IMHO, but I don't forget that she has the freedom to speak her ignorant filth and that she must be willing to stand behind her words and accept the repercussions of her actions, stance, words, etc.

I agree with you 100% Sawin, but she apparently doesn't realize that right is protected by the same people she bashes. I had a run in with a lady in front of the Whitehouse while I was on leave from Edgewood during AIT. She saw my dog tags and started calling us babykillers and poured her water bottle on one of my roommates, before I could even get a word out, he was in her face screaming and before he was done she started to cry so we pulled him away. I have no tolerance for that crap.

I can vouch for that... One of our DS's got super pissed- it was actually funny because they're not allowed to curse anymore... And they can't hit PVTs. We're training, during a time of war- if you mess up, you should get a nice smack, at the very least.

Maybe not the wisest move on DS #2's part, but one of the funniest I've ever seen. A recruit muzzle swept DS #1 from his foxhole position and DS #2 on the other side kicked him in the back of the steel pot. Broke his nose and taught him a life's lesson.

Not sure- We didn't have them when I was going through- but we did get an FTX cancelled on us due to "the worst ice storm Ft. Leonardwood had seen in 15 years." But when I was in AIT I was held over for 3 weeks before our classes began and some of the people in my class from Ft. [Relaxin'] Jackson said that they were issued "stress cards." I thought it was ridiculous pussy shit.

Nope, seems legit for DS #2 to do that... They warned us of just that when we were starting Basic Rifle Marksmanship... One even said "Privates, I will dent the shit out of your K-POD if you make any safety violations on my range... got me?" He was awesome!

Facebook... it's real life, 2013 style

Now it's saying she has been the victim of bullying or whatever. I'm skeptical as I've seen lots of backpedaling before... Not convinced she actually made it, but also not convinced she didn't....

So the fact that the photo in the OP looks nothing like a real facebook post according to the photo I posted yet you still aren't convinced? wtf?

I was just going to say, glad I don't have a Facebook so I don't have to care.
Then I was going to say, maybe you should change your settings to 20 response per page.
Then I was going to close this window and go read something else.
Then I was going to write about all this in my diary before bed.
​If only I could publish all my thoughts....

Eh, my family and friends now not to believe anything on Facebook or Twitter claiming to be from me because I don't do either.

My first thought after reading the initial post was that this looked fake.

If you want to swim in the Web 2.0 cesspool, you're going to catch something you really don't want.

This stuff is a fad that cultivates narcissism and will be co-opted by marketers, cheats, and the downright criminal...including big government. Live your life and keep most of it to yourself. The world really doesn't care about your every detail.

Pretty simple to me. If it's real and that's how she feels, it's her opinion and she's not alone. Fair enough because I have a pretty low opinion of people who feel that way. If it's fake? Well, that's what she gets for having a FB account. Throw your life out there for everyone to see and someone's bound to throw stuff back.

Surely she knows a couple of really big guys that could "convince" this stalker to find another target. Hell...find a couple of military guys to persuade him.

This is what a screenshot form the Facebook app (grabbed off the internet) looks like: Notice the border around the post as well as the location of the time stamp of when the post was made which is under the user name, not the bottom of the post as in the scam image in the OP. There should also be the options for "Like" and "Comment".

Some people don't update their apps every time a new version of the iphone/ipad app is released...

I read an article last week that addressed this issue- not just narcissism, but also they did a study on FB, YouTube and Yahoo to name a few, and found that comments were extremely hostile, vitriolic, and insidious due to the anonymity of the internet, and that thanks to online life people have become more brazen, hostile, and abrasive not just online, but also in real life. The author even made the connection (considering the timing) that this was possibly contributory to Trayvon Martin's demise (meaning that he thought he was a tough guy so he attacked the man following him). I see things getting worse before they get better. What happened to respect?

If it is fake, then I apologize for acting on my first reaction. Some of you guys may not like face space but I use it to stay in contact with friends, old army buddies, and family. Most people would call it a generation gap. Also a lot of you guys post the exact same stuff here in GD that I see on Facebook all the time.

Thank goodness that never happens here.

Same- both on the reaction part (if it is indeed fake), and on the reasons why I keep a FB... Here is like a microcosm of Facebook, except without all the bullshit liberal cry baby stuff. [Coffee]

Looked at my phone and there is no way to control updates on the facebook app that I can find.
