Should the "label" of Victims be changed?





Dear Fellow Uses of this site:

I received this letter today from one of our account members on our site. And I thought it very much approptiate to post this here on our site.

I've myself thought about this many a time and on my personal site I use the words he uses below.

What I would like to hear is how do you all feel about this and would you like to see it changed. From the one to the other.

As some of you may have noticed that I changed the word Story to Account. The reason I did this was when I personally hear the word story it makes me want to think of something made up. These 'stories' are not made up. But, they are in actually and account of the mistreatment we have had to deal with. There are facts, dates, references.

Even the goverment as much as they have done to everyone. States that these things have been done but will they help and support what they did and the ones trying to recover from it? Or stop and desist with the ones still undergoing what is happening? You know the answers to this as well as they do.

They do not want to stand accountable for these actions and problems they themselves have created.

Ed Light worked hard to have this site up for everyone and we are continueing to do what has started. We would like to keep things as orginal as they have been. But, sometimes things need change because things do change. We keep it basically clear of graphics to make it easier to read for ones with visual problems. Names' Labels' things of that nature change all the time and we should keep up to date on these things.

So I am asking you to please put in your vote at the poll below and we'll see how the majority feels about this.

Thanks so much
Heart



DEAR HEART;
I WAS LISTENING TO THE NEWS YESTERDAY ABOUT HOW THAT NAVY SEAL WAS INNCESANTLY TORTURED AND BUTCHERED, OVER IN AFGANISTAN.... AND THE MEDIA WAS GOING ON ABOUT HIM BEING A 'POOR VICTIM...', AND I WAS THINKING, "HE WASN'T A ******* VICTIM..! HE WAS A 'GOD-DAMNED SOLDIER, A WARRIOR, AND A HERO'..!" AND IT CAUSED ME TO REFLECT UPON WHAT 'WE', AS 'RECIPIENETS' OF THESE 'NAZI-BASTARDS-TORTURES', HAVE FOR TO LONG NOW 'ERRANTLY LABELED' OURSELVES... WE CALL OURSELVES 'VICTIMS'/'SURVIVORS' DON'T WE..? AND I'VE COME TO BELIEVE THAT IS ******* BULLSHIT!!! WE ARE NO MORE 'VICTIMS' THAN THE SOLDIER THAT WAS KILLED... FOR WE 'TOO' HAVE BEEN FIGHTING A WAR... AND 'WE' HAVE BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST ENEMIES 'MORE MAELEVOLENT' AS THOSE BASTARDS IN THE MID-EAST... WITH THE ONLY EXCEPTION THAT OUR ENEMIES ARE FROM 'WITHIN...'. OUR 'ENEMIES', ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE MADE 'A MOCKERY' OF 'EVERYTHING' THAT THIS COUNTRY, AND CONSTITUTION, HAD ONCE STOOD FOR... AND THAT IS 'LIBERTY, AND FREEDOMS, AND RIGHTS..!'

AND THOUGH WE HAVE FOUGHT NEITHER A 'GLORIOUS OR SUCCESSFUL' BATTLE... FOR WE HAVE NOT KNOWN 'WHAT' THE IMPLEMENTS OF OUR EMEMY HAS BEEN, (AS TO DEFEND OURSELVES...), NOR 'ALLOWED' TO POSSESS THE OFFENCIVE ARMS OF KNOWING 'WHO', (AS TO DIRECT OUR EFFORTS TOWARDS EXPOSING THE 'SEWER-RAT-DESTROYING THE CONSTITUTION-NAZI-BASTARDS...')... OUR FIGHT... THOUGH INFIRMED... HAS BEEN EVER VALIANT...

AND SO I SUBMIT TO YOU... THAT WE 'ARE', AND 'HAVE BEEN' SOLDIERS... FIGHTING FOR OUR, (AND EVERYONE'S), RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS... AND THEREFORE, I PETITION YOU THAT YOU MIGHT 'TITLE US' AS SUCH ON THE MCF SITE FROM HERE ON... AS EITHER SOLDIERS, OR WARRIORS... AND PLEASE... NO LONGER, AS 'POOR VICTIMS...'

RESPECTFULLY,
LAYNE NOLTING



DEAR HEART;
'GOD BLESS YOU' FOR YOUR ATTENTIVENESS TO ALL OF US, AND TO THIS SITE..! AND YES... I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST THE VERY SAME, (TO HAVE YOU POST MY THOUGHTS AND SEE WHAT WE ALL THINK...), BUT DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD/COULD/WHATEVER...

ANYWAY, WHEN YOU DO THAT COULD 'YOU' ADD ON SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT, THAT 'IF WE CONTINUE/ALLOW OURSELVES TO LABEL OURSELVES AS 'VICTIMS...' THAT THIS IS HOW WE'LL 'CONTINUE TO PERCEIVE OURSELVES...' AS HELPLESS... CONFUSED... SHATTERED... SCATTERED... HOPELESS... FOREVER 'DEPENDANT' UPON THESE PRICKS FOR OUR THOUGHTS, AND FEELINGS, AND PEACE... AND TOTALLY AT THE MERCY OF THESE NAZI-******... (OF WHICH IN FACT, PLAYS 'RIGHT INTO THE HANDS' OF HOW THESE BASTARDS 'WANT US' TO CONSTANTLY FEEL...), (AND ALSO, WE KNOW, IS THE 'EXACT CARD' THEY 'CONVENIENTLY' PLAY AMONGST VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS/GROUPS, AND AGENCIES, WHEN 'PERFORMING' THEIR 'DIRTY LITTLE TORTURES' UPON US, AS IN, "LOOK AT THE POOR MENTAL/EMOTIONAL MESS WE HAVE HERE... AREN'T YOU GLAD 'WE'RE' 'LOOKING OVER' THE SITUATION..?", WHEN IN FACT BEING 99.999% RESPONSIBLE FOR IT!!!).

ANYWAY HEART, YOU HAVE MUCH MORE TALENT OF EXPRESSING YOURSELF THAN MYSELF... SO I'LL TRUST IN YOU KNOWING BETTER THAN 'I' AS TO WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, AND LET YOU GO FOR IT, AND LEAVE IT AT THAT...

THANKS A MIL,
LAYNE
