It's one of those metaphorical sayings that doesn't have a litteral meaning, so I don't think your interpretation is wrong per se. But yeah most people read it as being "Freedom has a cost".

No, I'm aware that's what it's doing. I just thought it was a nice antidote to the shite that we usually have to read through to give this thread its entertainment.

I would probably be cool with those parts, but only if I'm using my paid vacation days for it  I think it would be a totally legit use of 2 weeks to see how far I can hike in a week along back roads or something, and then hike back for the second week. I bet I could make it to Pennsylvania.

Why have you not countered with 'remember that time you came over and had a few too many and took a leak in my sink?' The thread would appreciate you touching the poop.

 Another entry in the 'sister is a douche' chronicles. If I can't get an accurate idea of what this guy did (Wikipedia wasn't all that much more informative than this blurb was), I doubt an E-3 will either. More than that, I think it's inappropriate for an enlisted soldier to express an opinion on a matter like this.

Is this about that dude who shot the unarmed people approaching his camp? It's fun arguing about this stuff with people IRL, because it helps you identify the potential serial killers among your friends and family. "Aside from the fact, that these are, like actual human beings who were unarmed, they're also not actually combatants from an enemy nation. Unless we're acknowledging Taliban or Al Qaeda sovereignty now  "If their answer is something like, "So?", or, "loving who cares about some camel jockey?", or, "Why would any of those people ever approach a military base for any reason besides KILLING OUR SOLDIERS  " then congratulations! The person you are talking to is capable of very easily categorizing a person as an object, and considering the fact of their life or death unimportant!EDIT: a word deadly_pudding has a new favorite as of 20:02 on Dec 26, 2013 |

This interpretation works if the person doesn't know that "complemented" is a different word from "complimented", which all things considered, is kind of likely. Otherwise I think s/he just didn't get the watch they were expecting.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it goes like this: Eve wants a watch, so Adam is going to buy her one. He decides to let her pick it out, but makes her wait to open it on Christmas. She opens it in a package marked "From Adam, To Eve" and somebody else admires the watch and says "my my, Adam has fantastic taste." She's upset that Adam's taste in jewelry was complimented, when in reality she chose it so it was HER taste that deserved praise.

A friend of a friend- Hey that's a pretty cool Christmas present!  Oh.   Oh.   On the plus side it seems to be for charity. On the other hand you're still doing group black face Nelson Mandela. I like the one guy who either didn't get the memo or refused to take part.

Is it a success or failure when blackface has become such a Bad Thing To Not Do that it recedes from the collective memory and then people do it to honor someone/raise money for charity without realizing what it was?

It hasn't receded from the collective memory. It's only receded from the memories of desperately clueless white people and/or racists. It's not like there isn't a big public outcry about blackface every year or so.

I'd guarantee they tacked on the charity thing just to get away with walking around in blackface for a bit.
