WhiteBlood: … physically tangeable spiritual energy.

Aaaah Chi.
Bruce Lee made the one inch punch his own … and for a bit of comedy …
It was all about CHI = energy.
My crystal-powered sister-in-law’s youngest (24) daughter is … mmm … out there.
A few years ago, in response to his not believing in the ghosts and energies and stuff in their 95 year old house they all lived in, ME asked if he could see the ball of energy she was juggling from hand to hand. He said: No.
She asked: Can you feel this? and tossed it at him from 5 metres away. He fell on his arse.
He ‘knows’ this stuff ‘can’t happen’ but … 

The closest thing I’l ever be is a Taoist, cause these guys stand apart from the christian bullshit and lies, these guys base their beliefs around something believable: physically tangeable spiritual energy.

And I dont share my shit, even with people who love weapons more the I do

WhiteBlood: … considered working with some form of law enforcement …

Don’t let anyone know you play in this playground then.
They might think you’re a Commie or worse, an Atheist.

I am not currently a soldier, but I have deeply considered working with some form of law enforcement, such as special weapons and tactics.  However, I was giving an opinion should I ever join the military ranks, im still not entirely sure if thats what is calling me or somethign else entirely.  Back on point, anyone should be able to have anything they want on their headstone, and fuck anything else.

Me: NO! fuck it.

Just read that and I leave a bit of ambiguity as to which way I’d jump.
I’d jump for the dead soldier’s rights!!

If I get killed …

Are you a soldier?
Cos this fracas is about a soldier being buried in a soldiers’ cemetery (the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley, Nevada) and not being allowed to have a symbol of his religion on his head-stone.
I would hazard a guess that in any other cemetery ‘you’ can have whatever symbol ‘you’ want.
Regardless, I’m with you, mate … the fucking bastards, they give me the shits – it’s not enough that a bloke puts his life on the line – THEY (those fucking bastards) reckon if you’re not one of them, you can go fry.
I just can’t believe a buncha Vets aren’t storming that building and demanding justice.
Then again, when I think of the pensions we’re on that could be put in jeopardy … NO! fuck it.

If I get killed and they don’t allow the symbol of the religion I think has it the most right, I hope all my family and my fiancee’s family makes media war on them in a way they never thought possible.

Shelly, it’s a mathematical symbol meaning an empty set, sometimes referred to as a null set. Here’s a Wikipedia entry that explains it.

Words cannot express how outraged and ashamed I am of this country right now.

Wait a minute here. . . That O with a slash through it is a symbol for a dead (/) female (O).

A large inverted V is a symbol in logic for ‘nothing’—it is the opposite to the big O which symbolizes ‘everything.’

Having said that, I can’t think of why we need a symbol—the only benefit I can see is that it might piss off the religious.
