"If your Lincoln Memorial penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95% copper. If the date is 1983 or later, it is made of 97.5% zinc and plated with a thin copper coating."

The more you know.

Kick me out already or I'm just going to leave, for some reason i thought somehow at least a few people on this site would be above believing in what they are told from birth to believe. I haven't had the bad fortune of meeting a few bad apples I've met hundreds of Military men so here we go.

1 kid from my high school who thought he was a gangster joined the military so he could shoot minorities and be called a hero for it .

2. A guy i was friends with in high-school joined the military and by the end of boot camp had become a completely different person, instead of being the nice timid guy he was he turned into a womanizer douche bag whos only goal seemed to be making everyone around feel as shitty as he must inside.

3. An acquaintance from high-school joined the military he got stationed at fort lewis which is pretty close to my town, i would c him in town every once in awhile when i worked at jack in the box. He would come through the drive threw late at night with usually 2 or sometimes 1 nearly passed out very under aged girls in the back seat with him and at least 2 other doucher looking guys on the way back to camp for a lil gang bang action.

4. One of my brothers best friends joined came back a compulsive liar and a complete piece of shit that was a hard one.

5. A recruiter came to my high-school when i was a junior he asked me if i planned on enlisting and i told him i didn't believe in fighting for a unjust cause. It was really nice seeing a 30+ year old man trying to start a fight with a 16 yr old kid for not believing the exact same thing he believes.

Not to mention the number of rape accusations that have come along with nearly every base I've heard off, not even to long ago there really was two girls found raped and murdered on a military base in my area and not even a single finger was listed for investigation lol.

OH yeah and I'm in Washington state one of the least violent states in America. I found it unimaginable that you people can sit here and point your finger at me as if i'm the bad person for speaking out against the outrageous things that go on behind our backs on American soil and the even more horrid shit that goes on overseas.

Please continue flaming, I've met way to many military personal in my life and i really do hope i can avoid the rest of them for as long as humanly possible.

If my homeland is ever in real trouble i would answer the call and fight proudly, I WILL NOT however support the people who send foolish and uneducated men and woman out to defile the once good name of this American Nation. All of you sheep out there take a fucking look do you really think American soldiers traveling the world and acting as they do will win us any popularity awards? The military has become a disgrace and the men and woman who serve bravely have been brain washed into being no better then the cowards who run the whole show.


Try actually thinking about what I'm saying before you just blindly start flaming me again because i don't agree with what you've been force fed your whole life.

So your problems are still with individuals not the collective military ideology. I don't understand how you can be so close minded and naive to this still. It is pretty sad. I'm willing to bet my dozens of friends/family in the military far outweigh your select few problem people. Pretty sad when you think about it. You have issues with individuals and try to condemn the entire thing. That is like me saying I hate this certain black person, thus I must hate all black people. It doesn't work like that.

I just returned from a 7 month deployment from Iraq.

I am separating next week.

Thanks for your service

So it seems the only responses I've gotten so far are DUR DUR BLAH AMERICA DUR DUR BLAH AMERICA. OH and the ever famous show pictures of how ugly i am, yeah i know I'm a real sore on the eyes for most I know the members of Jsp are all super model or better looking i mean why would there be ugly people or fuck i uh know about 75% of people even to ashamed to show pictures on a diablo2 trading website lol.

You didn't specify a 100% copper penny, or rather, a 95% copper penny. A copper coating still scores as a copper penny. You should have specified, "Five shillings and an original copper penny dating before 1983", however, you could have also said the latter which could have been: "Five shillings and a pretty penny", or even "Five shillings and a shiny penny". Both adjectives for penny is connotation for something expensive, which contrasts in relation to the cheaper pennies made today.

You're such an idiot sometimes Johnny, honestly.

I meant a 1600s english copper penny.
