KillerBs Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 To what degree are you anti-war and a pacifist? Because everyone who is sane is anti-war and pacifist to a degree. War is necessary in some circumstances. Violence has to be used sometimes. It's a fact of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lautrec Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 A) Unintelligent flaming? Irrational thought? Flaming would be more along the lines of "**** you, you ****!" followed by many more similar sentences of that nature abundant in four letter words. I'm not that stupid, I know like most people that that's obviously not going to get you any respect or will do anything to prove your point. I wouldn't want to do that anyway. That's why I responded with points of substance to back up my argument. How is: unintelligent and flaming? Enlighten me here. You're missing the point. Even saying that I may be Anti-American is insulting, since you're reaching the conclusion that that's even a possibility from my expressed opinions. You even put "bought into this left-wing rhetoric" in the same breath, like that's a near synonym for Anti-American. In addition, you put anti-war in along with the other two apparent negatives in your opinion, like that's just as bad as the other two mentioned. As a matter of fact, I am anti-war and a pacifist. It's going to be amusing if you think that that's as bad as being anti-American. I think we should all choose our words and phrasing much better in general for the future. Well, we'll never reach a conclusive end here, so let me wrap up my part of the so-called "discourse"... I don't care if you are a pacifistic, anit-war, flag-waving right wing cross-dressing fireman. Noone cares about YOU, generally speaking. This is NOT a personal attack. It means that in the larger scheme of events in the world, you and I are merely numbers. What concerns me, is you did a decent job of calling me out on the usage of right-wing rhetoric, which I'll admit was a designed barb to provoke anger. Yet, for all your hypocrasy hyperbole, you forgot something. YOU are the original hypocrite in this post!!! To wit; You painted the military as recruiting with deception, and you practice deception by tyring to twist the argument into a personal battle to defend your honor. The actual point of the discussion is lost, and you've turned this into a folly of name-calling, personal offense, etc. Nice. And the funny thing? Men and Women of this country vigilantly stand to protect me, and you and our ideals. They are not out there under some illusion that it's a big old video game, and that that M-16 they're holding has fake bullets in it. They don't care if you or I choose to be a pacifist, in fact, they embrace the freedoms that we hold dear, and they sacrifice daily for those freedoms. They serve, most of them, honorably. They aren't stupid, they aren't as John Kerry would have you believe only in the Army because they couldn't get in college. Yes, I defend them. They defend me. Feel free to hate me or the soldiers of this country if you like. It's not the issue. I only wish you could have the priviledge of serving your country and the people beside you, it's life changing. Good luck to you, abc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillerBs Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 So, am I to assume that you favored no military action against Al-Qaeda, (and the Taliban by extension. The friend of my enemy is my enemy, you know?) despite their blatant attack on the United States? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
