OT: Free speech?
 
This is a perfect example of someone exercising their right to free speech. I just hope for his sake that no one who lives near him finds out his physical address.

No nudity or profanity. Just...well, see for yourself. And let him/her know what you think. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Site is down. Either it's very popular or someone else has exercised their rights to hack a site.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Or at least DDoS it... probably a combination of a lot of links, and somebody not liking the link, so deciding to shut it down vigilante-style.

But from the URL, I can about imagine what the site is about...

What is the point of this website, exactly?

WEll, I'm sorry I even took the time to check it out. Yeah, accidents happen in military life as well as civilian life. Could they be called "dumb mistakes"? I've seen some of these Gomer Pyle types when I was in the Air Force. It could also be from lack of training, or understanding on the solder's part. But to make a website that's implying it's the soldier's fault, I won't stand for it. People die. Let it rest. If you have an agenda, go for the leaders. If you're anti-war or anti-military, that's your opinion; just don't bring down the military when we're in a war. This is the kind of stuff that makes me angry. I could kind of understand the rebellion in the 60's and 70's over Viet Nam, since it was mostly a political war. But we're in a real war fighting for our way of life, and you get these people who don't understand that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Not sure why this person would be on the dumbest list: "Killed in Balad, Iraq, on May 18, 2003 when Sahib and another soldier were cleaning their weapons and the other soldier's weapon discharged"

I guess my name should be on the list as well as I lost my left eye when a booby trap I was setting exploded in my face.

Most of the reasons/people listed are not from being "stupid".

I agree that this site is in bad taste in some areas. Of course, i'd rather put up with sites like this than lose the right of "Freedom of Speech"

They have British soldiers on there, too. Apparently, the "America" is subjective.

BTW, the site is registered in Mexico.
