Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Hi Anouk That sounds like an 'awkward' place to live. I used to live near Aldershot, which is a military town, but that was pre Gulf War etc. - more the time when we were being bombed by the IRA. We were in Devon recently and one day were sharing the same area as a group of people on horses with lots of jeeps around - obviously hunters. It makes me feel really uncomfortable. I cannot listen to Christian programmes.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Good grief, whats wrong with your nieghbourhood, Christianity brainwashing? - on EVERY radio station? must be awful.........military propoganda must be effective around there then? The Valley Vegan................ Dont, Dont, Dont, dont believe the hype............flower child <zurumato wrote: Hi jo, I can see how someone can be budhist in the military. where I live, 95 % of the people are loving Christians yet the all support the military. they are the "nicest" people in the world, baking pies, lots of christmas gifts, good mornings, and how are yous. these are my neighbors. thousands of them. Every single bumpersticker car around me says"support our troopsBush is my President" etc. even the ones who's sons have died in the war, with the yellow ribbons around their house. they still support the military, I am considered a weardo becauseI oppose the war. but I keep my opinions to myself. I do not get a single radio station, that is NOT christian on the radio. (i am not kidding, I have triedlooking) but everytime I turn on the radio, they are talking about the saviour, our lord, jesus christ. so a vegan in the military, i think must be rare. -anouk , "heartwerk" wrote:>> Hi Debbie> > That sounds delicious.> > I don't think Debbie could change her life - she asked for an opinion > on whether being married to a military man was okay with the vegan > ethic.
