Well DAMN me; ain't THIS a wonderful discussion?
FD Ski; thanks for spelling it out so concisely. I was having a hard time with your other posts, but now that I see your train of thought laid out in context, It makes much more sense to me..
Lemme see if I got the gist of this.. We're behaving like blind nationalistic amazinhunks, puppets for the media and politicans,; not worthy of sweat off our great grandpappys balls and certainly not eligible to lay claim the moral highground; not even this time...
Hmmm... seems to me, that since we've diddlyed this planet up so bad, made a hash of every system or problem we've ever touched, earned the undying eminity of the free and enslaved world and are already doin a bang up job of carrying it on to near orbit and space..
Lets just give the Trident's new targeting info... and toast ourselves with our own nukes and give the resta the world a decent break.
Before 20 of you here miscountrue me for a "rag head lover" let me go on record saying that i'm ex miliry, US Citizen, and i agree with current bombing of Astudmuffinanistan. I'm disappointed with it's lack of long term goal, and blind, unbriddled patriotism in my book equals to nationalism.
Damn; why'd yah have to go and say THAT?? (Hangs third rule.. If yer ever in an argument, and it turns out yer right; apologize immediately)
Ok; I love yah too; now lets go blow the hell outta the towel heads, and do our damndest to figure out how were gonna not screw this pooch after the fact.
<S> FD Ski! Damned good reading, and I appreciate the tounge lashing. We... errr, I deserved every bit of it.
I'd still like to shove mao's lil red book up Dowdings bellybutton tho. I promise, given the opportunity; I'd try to avoid being nationalistic about it.
