Answer:he doesn't give a shit about them.

You're the least interesting poster I've encountered here.

If you don't like America and our Democracy, then get the fuck out of here and don't let the door hit you in the ass.

Further proof that government - especially "democracy" - is an immoral, anti-human institution.

[Pints with Plato]

He's a human being ,not a "thing",you bigot.

Decent human beings do not shrug off the disfigurement of little children under any circumstances. YOU PEOPLE ARE THE BIGOTS; I see very little humanity about either of you.

My comment stands.

I see that you've still not replied to my counter argument about this. How very telling.

[Pints with Plato]

Thanks for pointing it out... What it should tell you is that I didn't see it.

Terribly sorry. I'll do my best to respond at my earliest convenience.

Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

There is no such thing as "the Muslim world", nor "America", for that matter.

WTF?

How lovely of you to "shrug" off the disfigurement of a little girl.

I feel very bad for innocent people on both sides, but that won't change my view that America must protect itself by any means necessary.

I'm sure that she was "regretting" her "choice" as she lay bleeding on the ground, half-dead, after "America" sent some peace and democracy bombs her way.

I'm sure there were similar situations among innocent Germans during WWII, and I feel bad for them as well, but that doesn't change the big picture.

The solution to this issue is not to continue the policies which brought us to this point, as anyone with an understanding of history, and an ounce of sense, should be able to divine.

And that includes Arab Muslim societies giving up on terrorism and making peace with America and Israel.

If you feel that way, get out of America! My family hated communism, which is why they got the fuck out of the Soviet Union! If you hate America and our democracy, there are plenty of other places in the world, what's your problem?

Decent human beings do not shrug off the disfigurement of little children under any circumstances. YOU PEOPLE ARE THE BIGOTS; I see very little humanity about either of you.

What do you want me to do? Cry? Take a picture of my tears and post it? Yes, it's fuckin' sad that shit like that happens, just like it was sad when it happened to German innocent children during WWII, but yet, America is justified fighting the Islamic terrorists just like the Western world was justified in bombing the fuck out of the Nazis.

And on and on. I've talked to door mats that were more open minded. Ganga is one simple sonofabitch as they say.

I don't think your mother is a bitch, it's just an expression. God I can't stand that band or what used to be a band.

Of course there is.

[Cyclone Ranger]

You're the least interesting poster I've encountered here.

You're the most ignorant, self-righteous, and obnoxious....which is an amazing feat, considering Snouter and Guido. Congratulations.

^COWPUNK HAS A CRUSH ON THE SNOUT AND GUIDO ALERT!

[Pints with Plato]

WTF?

Yes; they're completely arbitrary lines or groupings that individual human beings just happen to be born within.

I feel very bad for innocent people on both sides, but that won't change my view that America must protect itself by any means necessary.

Then "America" - of all arbitrarily drawn lines on a map - really is nothing more.

And that includes Arab Muslim societies giving up on terrorism

Agreed.

[Cyclone Ranger]

Recognized sovereign borders =|= arbitrary groupings

America is a nation of laws and values, not simply lines on a map. To suggest otherwise is highly reductive.

[Pints with Plato]

Tell that to the Sumerians.

TT reduces the laws and values to meaningless when he says that America must protect itself by any means necessary.

[Cyclone Ranger]

Tell that to the Sumerians.

Why should we give a shit about what a prehistoric civilization thought?

TT reduces the laws and values to meaningless when he says that America must protect itself by any means necessary.

Nonsense. He isn't even saying we should protect Americans by any means necessary, let alone reducing laws and values to putative meaninglessness.
