A tear for the troops

Milburn ended the session by asking for Simmons's autograph for his wife, to which Simmons, upon hearing her name, replied, "Oh yeah, I remember her."


.. well it cant be all solemn and respectful
but my respect for Gene just went up a notch..

I wonder if he has the same respect for the rescue workers, fire fighters and ER nurses that save our lifes on a daily basis too.

No offence to the soldiers, but "the rest of us yack", sorry, I find that disrespectfull to the people that try to do good here and risk their lifes for us in our own country.

Someone piss in your Cornflakes this morning Brenda,

I don't eat cornflakes

No, Wil, exactly, we will never know... Makes you think, doesn't it?

nope.. it was meant for the soldiers.. thats all

I cant believe how many people will say shit like that about our soldiers.

I take it you are commenting on me?
You should have read better.

I am not talking about the soldiers, I am talking about Gene Simmons. Wil might think that it is some honest thing, I think he needs the publicity, and doing that over the backs of the soldiers, is cheap.

I guess we better agree to disagree here.

Our soldiers do deserve our utmost respect as they lay their lives on the line every day. Well done Gene Simmons, you rock, in more ways than one.

Brendra if you knew how much time Gene puts in supporting the US Military you'd realize your barking up the wrong tree. So it would only be natural for him to say a few things about ours. He doesn't do it for the pubicity so I guess thats why you haven't heard about it.

Next time you thank a nurse for risking her life to save you, maybe mention the cleaning lady that comes in and cleans up your puke so you don't have to smell it all day. And don't forget the people in the basement that try to cook you a decent meal while trying to stay on a shoe string budget.

Thank you for making my point

And, no, it is not natural to mention Canadian troops while always mentioning US troops.

Whenever I mentioned a dead Dutch soldier here, it was not important, remember?

I take exception to the reference to thanking the nurse.. there are many male nurses out there... quit steriotyping... and I dont recall any cleaning lady cleaning up puke.. at least not in Ontario or Quebec.. its the nursing staff....
as for thanking and respecting.. should be applied to anyone doing his/her job... and yes our soldiers need our support... I hope the assholes that demonstrated in Toronto this past week-end and the raging grannies.. (with alzheimers) remember our soldiers when they march to bring Khadr home... which should never happen...where the hell is the footage of him and his fucking sister yelling about supporting alkaeda?

FYI, Wil, I do. I am just a friendly person. He made my point, which obviously flew over your head. AGAIN.

It was sure nice of him to do so. I just doubt his honesty. And if you had read my post, AND understood, it had nothing to do with the soldiers. They (ALL of them) deserve our support.

How convenient of you that you can't recall the news stories I posted about ANOTHER dead Dutch soldier, and nobody responded to that. Canadian soldiers dying a day later had LOTS of support... Hypocrisy?

Gene has always been the biggest supporter of troops. He doesnt need to do anything for publicity...He walks into a room you know who he is and he commands a presence.

Kudos to him...for keeping our boys in his heart.

Of course you never saw them Wil
