--- I do, and I see the world in multiple colors, while you only see black and white.

goaliedad, Thank you. I will reflect on what you have said. All, Don't think FOR me, don't imagine thoughts that I did not have and words that I did not say.

To sprog "You do not have First Amendment rights on this site. " --- I noticed this. "It is a wholly private enterprise, and in order to be allowed to post, you must agree with the terms and conditions of the forum rules. I'm sure that was made clear upon your registration for the site...

-- 1) please talk for yourself or provide a proof that someone asked you to represent him or her. 2) If someone wants to find "disrespectful, elitist, anti-military" words, he or she will find them in the phrase "The weather is cold."

-- Yes, post number 1 = first post = starting post. Not the first post in response to Scoutpilot.

-- So you didn't read the first post. I expected so.

--- You know, I didn't read much about this forum. It was enough to me to know that people here should be able to analyse the situation. I started the thread with a question about what is appropriate and what is not in terms of using HS kids for activities outside of school in connection with...

Marist College ROTC, I would rather discuss these matters in person. And I'm not against any country except maybe N.Korea. You probably should learn to read more attentively. I'm also not against your armed forces. I'm against the idea that my daughter will join them. Please think about the...

--- Pima, 1)You are free to waiver on whatever pleases you, but let me assure you, you are definitely wrong: I'm not a troll but quite oppositely, a very real human being. How about you? Besides, I need to say that switching from discussing a subject to discussing people's personalities is a...

--- Yes, I want to block some streams of info. There are "R" movies to do so, internet filters, and boxes in our school's paperwork "Do you want you child to be contacted with army recruiters?" - I can check or uncheck this box. I still have responsibility to raise her to the point when she will...

--- I'm not sure her wings should soar in this direction. And I don't think she has a dream to serve. And I don't want army recruiters to put this dream into her brain. I want her to live freely and decide what to do with her life without advice from army recruiters. Also, I don't want her to...

"I agree with many of the posters on this. Words like "memorial", "Stars & Stripes" and "U.S. Flag" are key as is the fact the sponsor called an ROTC unit." --- Thank you for explaining this. I's really helpful to understand this. "If you daughter ever goes on active duty, let me assure...

" Is she in High School JROTC or ROTC at a University? " --- yes, it's HS ROTC class, just one among math, science, English, etc. "Lots of times, businesses or organizations will contact local organizations (JROTC, ROTC, VFW, American Legion, etc.) to do flag ceremonies since most of the...

"1. That it was for a business and not a govt agency, thus you believe it was for commercial purposes?" -- Yes, it's exacty how I feel. "2. Media ~~~ If the owner was trying to truly promote his business he would have contacted even the local newspaper, which would be run in a small blurb...
