    Nice logic. So all that happens in war is just, as long as "your" government is the one waging it (with your tax dollars).

    It's this mentality that is pretty much the reason why the world is in the state it's in. People only see human life in terms of what part of the globe in which it resides.

    And that's why I have a big problem with our policy toward Saudi Arabia.

    America does bad things, Britain does bad things, China does bad things etc etc etc

    That doesn't mean what the Saudis do is any less bad.

    Most of the wars mentioned? And which posts in this thread refer to these wars?

    Fuck 'em all in the ass? You don't see the civilian victims of the illegal Iraq war as basically having been murdered? That "love your neighbor as yourself" thing didn't take with you, did it? There's no other commandment greater than that, and you're fucking blowing it. Hard to not be yourself, isn't it?

    Granted you are sincere. comparing barbarity with barbarity is the correct comparison. There is no fact in comparing, other than it is comparing, a verb not a noun. A skewed perspective is a kabob.

    Your language condemns the world, it also saves it

    Meaningless statement about the world. It is no more than an accusation.

    Actually if you knew what problem was wouldn't you have corrected it by now

    Never ever a time when you don't. Your language is always in agreement with you. Your language tells you what is in you.
    and what you will see.

    Yes, I know you want me to try to become more like you, and I'm not trying at all. Never gonna happen.

    The meaning in pretty clear. If you don't get the point of my remark, that's another issue.

    The meaning of the words belie your stupidity. The meaning of the words point exactly to case and if you don't think so prove it.

    No I don't want you to be a man. I want you to be able to see what you are looking at. Just use the words. It's not me that is in front of you, just look at and read the words.

    You do not have to try anything. You already have what you need to comprehend language.

    Why waste time trying to 'prove' the meaning of a simple sentence understandable by anyone who can read the English language.

    Your don't have to prove your meaning to me, I know how to read. You have to prove why what I said is not true. I defined precisely the quality of your comment and precisely how it gave no information about the world at large.

    It seems that you only get information from sentences that are abstract, vague, and conceptual.

    You have it all wrong.
    Within the context of war is where my comments are directed.
    In the overall gestalt of existence, yes, love your neighbor as yourself is paramount. I am able to consider events and topics within the context of itself, and as such the claims made in the article sleeper linked, my comments are apropos as the comparisons sleeper inferred between wars the U.S. has been involved with (erroneously laying every causality at America's feet) VS the Saudi executions is lame and not a valid comparison and only relevant because life is being wasted.

    Japan attacked us, yet we should be mortified and embarrassed by the resulting Japanese casualties??? Bullshit!

    I'm sorry if you are not able to comprehend "compartmentalized" thinking or consideration of a topic.

    On one plane of existence, war is a harsh reality, at times even necessary.
    On a deeper plane of existence, all life is sacred and to be valued.


    and my "fuck 'em in the ass" comment was intentionally inflammatory and directed at PR yet again twisting shit into some global plot to make his life miserable.


    seriously, get with the program

    Maybe this guy is a pacifist. Some of them think self-defense is murder, in all cases.

    Example: Moravian Church members in WWII

    No, it is not an invalid comparison. The illegal war in Iraq was basically premeditated murder. If you believe that it wasn't, then you really need to get with the program.
