It doesn't matter anyway. The underlying importance is that humans kill humans, and our blood sheds the same color. To kill another is to kill your brother/sister. Unless, they are evil. In which case, you would be unbalancing the balance.
I do wonder if that would be good. If i am capable of killing, 2 people i have in mind, evil people. Would it help though when i really think about it, equilibrium in mind, probably not.
What doesn't matter anyway?
And I have a hub you should read about the balance your talking about.
By doing evil you create evil unless it is the doing of evil to evil By Doing Only Good only this will allow good to grow strong and for evil to exist(much like a turtle on it's back) The hub is 'Being Unique, the thing that makes us ALL the same.' If you get a chance (and I definatly hope you get a chance before you make up your mind about the murder you were just talking about.)
Mike I have a lot of respect for you and all the other soldiers out there in the world, that put themselves in the line of fire, for their country.
I think you have earned the right to call your hub what you are going to call it.
I have no problem at all, and if the title upsets anyone, they don't have to read it. It's title is mild compared to some of the things you see out there in the huge world of the net.
@BP
Thanks, Let's hope HP staff agrees with us...
I don't want to give the impression that I am some kind of war vet, because I'm not. I was a sailor for 4 years stationed overseas, and I was on a SWAT(though we called it something else) type team for about 5 years.
Pretty tame stuff when compared to what is going on in the world right now, or what went on in Nam, Korea and so on...
But thanks again for your thanks.
All soldiers should be honored, both my parents were in the army , I would not be here if my birth mom was not a field nurse who met my father there...
yes sir, they met in 1969 in Vietnam, my father was a chopper pilot who was involved in something horrible, he lost his entire crew, yet he lived..he was a highly decorated soldier and passed away with honors 6 months after he retired in 1977
and a HUGE THANK YOU MIKEL for YOUR BRAVERY, YOUR HONOR, and YOUR PROTECTION. I feel we owe a lot more to our soldiers than what they ever get from the governments... and it appalls me how soldiers have been treated on their returns home
Your father was one of the most loved people in Nam.The sound of that Huey coming when your getting your ass kicked in a fire fight is like the best music you ever heard.We thought we had balls on the ground but the stuff those chopper pilots did was legendary.Your right to be very proud.
Thank you, unfortunatly dad never got the coming home he deserved..it really touched me what you said..Im actually speechless over your beautiful comment to me.
Thank you dear sir and BLESS every SOLDIER who has ever fought or just been stateside to protect me, my child, and my child's children.
I am just one small person, I know my words do not mean a lot , but THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND SERVED. WE WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT YOU!
The issue is hard to judge without seeing the Hub. I don't think the title alone should be beyond the pale. Consider movies like "Appocalypse Now," "Full Metal Jacket," "The Hurt Locker" which have won plenty of awards although they aren't suitable for grade schoolers.
I will make a comment here for the sole purpose of supporting Mikel. In my opinion he is an honest, sincere person who is sharing with us ideas that are important to him, and in truth, should be important to all of us.
It appears to me that Mikel is not writing for money but is instead trying to share some truths that he learned through observation in an environment most of us will never experience. Talk of Hub titles and keyword tags seems to me to be totally beside the point.
If I understand Mikel as I would like to, the flagging of his Hub is not to him an isse about his business - it is an issue about his integrity. A person's integrity is part of the core fabric of an honest person; Mikel is an honest person.
It is my opinion that Mikel is the kind of person who makes HubPages a commuity worth belonging to and who will in the end contribute much to making HubPages great for a long time to come. I think we should all support him on this matter in any way we can.
An honest person is highly valuable to the future of us all.
I honestly can't see why mikel's title is flagged. I don't want to cause a problem for another hubber but I recently read a hub with a title something like "my years as a terrorist"
Just picking up on the 'soldiers are defending our country' point raised much earlier in this discussion-
I'm not sure US soldiers are much involved in defending the US. No war involving an enemy nation has been fought on US soil since 1812 and no enemy can be imagined that is capable of invading the US in the foreseeable future.
US soldiers routinely fight and die to defend US interests abroad which is another issue altogether.
Its not our fault nobody has the stones to try and invade us, maybe we can rile Canada up enough to try.
Yeah Minor Issues like WWI, WWII, etc...just US interests at stake...
Good point, Will.
War Made Easy--

I have to disagree, Your logic and your facts are correct in everything except...
We have been invaded by an army 10 million plus strong...
we just won't admit they are an army...
Hmm double standards I guess ,try rewording the title .I guess the title is seen as contraversial.
I look forward to reading your hub ,sounds interesting.
Yes if a government orders it , its not called killing, hmm
So that must mean the people dont really die either
Do you want professionals or amateurs fighting on our behalf?
In combat, what was one do to his/her enemy?
There's your answer.
To be honest ,it looks like the criminals are winning.
The thing I feel (IMO) people are missing here , is whether its for the right reasons or not , the body count is too high !
We are dead for a very long time.
Personally if my son was gunned down on the street (by a punk) or died serving his country ,my grief would be exactly the same
! and no amount of medals would ever comfort me, in fact ,no thats another thread ..
Why did you pick me to quote for this?
Sorry Ralph, I was preparing my response and didn't see you had said the same.
Good luck building army where soldiers question orders and going into the real war with it
I don't touch on other sides on Nuremberg not to derail the thread, but in this part it was a definite farce.
A US Armed service member is NOT committing a war crime by merely following orders to deploy to a conflict YOU deem criminal. At this point contrary to all the hand wringing and whining being done no court anywhere that I know of has determined that these wars are criminal.
I agree with many here, you knew what you were doing when you posted it, you knew the risks.
All I can say is, putting this in a forum is one way to draw attention to yourself. You are certainly doing that, though it doesn't appear to be adding many fans.
If you don't want things flagged, rethink the way you word the titles, if you want to continue to publish in here. Otherwise start a private blog and write the way you want to.
Not sure I understand what you are talking about Candie. Wrong thread?
Sorry Misha, but it sounded whiney to me.. maybe I need to take a nap.. lolol!! One thing about publishing on HP is we have to watch our titles. The hubs may be good, but if the titles are too 'over the top' they get flagged.. yes? A number of great hubs have been flagged because of the titles.
I think you're allowed to self-identify however you please. If someone disagrees, that's a discussion to have but there's nothing wrong with it. If you describe yourself as a professional killer, well, that's what you are.
For the record though, someone who is profesisonaly trained to kill, even in defence, could be classed as a professional killer in my opinion.
Its like saying someone who spends 5 years training to cook is not a professional chef, just someone who has to cook occasionally to make sure people can eat.
mikel, thank you for sharing this hub with us. and thank you for serving!
I highly recommend people reading this hub.
with the content of your hub, the title works.
you said in another thread a little while ago, Im hoping it was you, that you direct some of your earnings to SEO websites. I dont think you would do this willy nilly, so what is the benefit and have they been good for you?
If they have will you help me by directing me toward that route? x
Sharon, I am sorry, either I was not clear enough or it was not me. I can't think of any of my earnings being directed to any SEO website (or any other website or firm for that matter) in any way other than payment for services.
Yeah escort services
Content writing, backlink building, ya know...
Oh Sharon, I have this hub in the works for a couple of months already, if not longer... Still far from completion... Umm, may be you help me to finally complete it? You know, inspiration, gratification, and such?
Aww, thank you, so kind of you!
Well, first my butt still hurts from the lightning bolt incident on tarot thread. I think some gentle massage with essential oils could help. And we'll take it further from there
I need to rest...night night and I will deal with you more tomorrow!
Ouch! That hurts even more
web2mayhem is a nice thing if you have enough money to pay for it.
Sweet dreams and hit me on email if you are really interested
Sorry - no bad intentions meant, Im not being graded ,am I ? lol
