Hey! What's new (besides me)?

[Rowan]

Who?

Anyone I should know about?

 

[Asmiley]

You probably wouldn't know him he just joined the Army last year.

My cousin has been in the army for a while though, ever heard of Jeff Fraher?

 

[Rowan]

Who?

What's his rank? What does he do and where is he stationed? I'd have to start there.

 

[Asmiley]

Right now he's in Germany. Rank and station I'm not sure of cause I hardly ever see him. I could ask him the next time I see him. Or maybe I can get my Mom to e-mail him and ask him what it is.

In the Army

If he just went in and is stationed overseas, the chances are very slim I've met him. But... I got friends still on active duty over there. I'll tell them to watch out for him and keep his 'little cherry trooper tush' outta troube foyou, if you'd like.

 

[Asmiley]

He's pretty good at keeping himself outta "trouble" but if you ever meet him You could say hi if you'd like.

 

[Rowan]

Germany

Will do.

The military is one giant family. I still run across people I went to basic training with in some of the damnest places.

 

[Asmiley]

Great!

He's really a great guy. And his daughter is sooo adorable! She'll be 2 years old this year..... I think.

Telepaths

Im all for the telepaths gettin their own planet but I can see why everyone on B5 got annoyed with them. They were just bein a buncha freeloaders. They wanted Sheridan to give them a place to stay but they refused to do anything to contribute. The monks wanted a place to stay and earned their keep. If the teeps wanted people to respect them and believe that they were different they should have acted different. Instead they went too far in the opposite direction.

I hope this makes sense to U folk coz Im not sure it does to me.

Actually What you said Makes total sense to me...

 

[ponyperson]

i can agree with that.. only problem, is that what the normals wanted was stuff that went against the telepath's beliefs to give... (getting into people's heads w/o their permission...).. i can see where they wouldnt want to help at times, causae of that...
though, i DO think that they coulda helped some!!

 

[Asmiley]

I guess they were really Lazy about it huh?

 

[ponyperson]

i dont think they were all on the same agenda... some wanted to use violence, only a few wanted peace... some, like Lyta, were willing to help...

guess they were just like regular people, just with brain scanning abilities..

Teeps

People is people. That was the main point Joe was trying to make. No matter how wise or foolish. How nobel or base. Race, creed, culture or religeon - special talents or not.

And it's that same point that provides such overwhelming joy and heart crushing agony as the story evolves.

Faith Manages.

 

[Asmiley]

Geee Sounds like We could make a newspaper with an excellent Heart getting story on the front page. headlines reading....
" Telepaths: People Too, Like Me and You!"

 

[ponyperson]

maybe that would be a good thing..if people realized that they were "just people".. then tbey woulda missed that whole telepath war thing

 

[Rowan]

Interesting

So far as I can tell, in all my years of on and off again study, every major religeon [and all the minors I've run across' have their own version of 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.'

One simple line that converys so much and seems to be the one basic tenent in life that we, as humanity, just can't seem to wrap our heads around.

That's sad.

 

[ponyperson]

Very sad, and very true..

I think Garibaldo said it best, when he said that people "want war"... that history is divided into times of war, not times of peace"
with one war done (Shadow, war to reclaim Earth, "Drakh"), then what's next?... telepaths..

 

[Asmiley]

Gee this thread sure is depressing!

 

[ponyperson]

kinda reminiscient of my last post here huh???
