This little boy is packing a MkIII self propelled pebble in his right hand. Mr Soldier has his suspicions that this may be so. Equipped with only a kelvar vest and helmet, combat boots and fatigues to save him he realises that he may have to shoot little boy to save himself. Shoot to kill! .. Thats right! you only get one chance to save yourself from that big nasty bruise. After all it's a war situation out there!
There is nothing called a "self propelled pebble" on the internet. I doubt if it exists in warfare either, incl. guerilla warfare. I also see that the kid does not have anything in his hands, neither the right nor the left hand. I also would like to know how you fantasy that sort of gadget out of nowhere. It would again be wonderful to know how you figured that a poor palestinian kid might have aquired such an expensive British arm? (you mention MKIII) For a second let us assume that your thesis is ture. Wars also have rules. War does not justify everything. If it were so, then the NAZIs where quite right about their "pragmatism". How would you handle that? Even if the kid is about to kill the armed soldier (which is by all means a surrealistic comment, looking at a photo that tells just the opposite), it is just for that invading motherfucking soldier to die. It is always preferable for a soldier to die, than a kid. It is always preferable for an adult to die, than a kid.
well, since some assholes can actually defend that case, it's hard to differentiate. There are also idiots that favor children dying than their pet cats and dogs.
Yeah, I understand that when you first mentioned "sarcasm". But afterwards, I felt like explaining why I'd taken his post seriously. I just got carried away.
well we might have to shoot you too! hope you don't mind! Did you really go looking for a self propelled pebble on the net? ... you won't find any you know! .. The clangers keep em on the moon!
Maan, I got mad. You wouldnt believe. I tried to keep it polite just to hear your "logical" response, like that Treehouse guy did. Thank god you were being sarcastic. But seriously, the forums are full of idiots. Though, I might be one of those too, in the age of sarcasm, where Bush gets re-elected. The joke of the century.
We're not talking about kids with guns. We're talking about kids throwing stones. Following your line of logic you might as well assume that any Palestinian is a potential suicide bomber and shoot them on site. You're not exactly doing much to hold the moral high ground here, y'know. Arguing in favour of shooting children.
Is that woman walking towards you really a civilian, or is she a suicide bomber? Better shoot her just to be sure. What kind of fucking logic is that? If they had guns, they'd hardly be throwing fucking stones, would they? Your willingness to justify the murder of children is sickening me. This line of reasoning is just as fanatical as those you oppose. And obviously you're a dick. Hey! Look! I can do random insults too
The kids who're throwing stones don't have guns. Look, if some kid is pointing a gun at you, and you have good reason to think he/she is about to pull the trigger..... blow the fucker's brains out. I'm not suggesting pacifism here. But the reality of the kids you're talking about is that they're just children throwing stones. Nothing more sinister. If you want to label a whole people because of the actions of a minority, why not just go all the way and nuke the west bank?
Ummmm.. no I didn't. Especially since most of them are conscripts who'd rather be sat at home playing on their X Boxes. Which kinda precludes the possibility of sensible conversation. Been nice talking to you.
You seem very quick to dismiss the level of dialogue on these forums, but yet you're also quick enough to drag the tone down yourself. Why not try and hold an adult conversation without insulting people? I agree it's rare to find people with whom one can communicate in such a fashion on these forums, so I would've thought you'd welcome the opportunity.
Such as shooting children? I think you'll find that I explained my position rather than simply dismissing you. Popularity is usually a poor measure of worth. Post how you like. I just think it's a shame that you feel the need to resort to name-calling so quickly. You're obviously not stupid, so I don't see why you prefer offending people to debating with them. Why bother posting at all if you're not interested in conversing?
