Hawklore, you and Cav are both perfect examples of keyboard tough guys. Now, I don't really care about whatever examples you can bring about how you've stood your ground, physically, in the past. Here you're just nothing but angry letters and words, typed and delivered within a forum of people that are here to exchange, at least in theory, ideas instead of emotions.
Real men, they say, act instead of talk. You, on the other hand, demonstrated your proficiency at typing. Nothing less, nothing more. I seriously doubt that either of you have ever kicked anyone's ass, or what have you. You let your fingers do the talking. Perhaps I am no better, but, at the very least, I do not take aggressive stances when I know I cannot back it up with action....Here, today, in response to the aforementioned religious fanatics, you are going to do exactly nothing. This is not a prediction. It is a fact. Your anger, at the end of the day, will go to sleep along with the rest of your bodies. Tomorrow you will awaken less angry, less ready to act, and this will continue, until the whole issue is forgotten.
I suggest that both of you sit back, take a deep breath, and think deeply about what is important. Given the right amount of contemplation, I doubt that either of you two will raise a fist against these enemies. Think about the cost of your actions, think about the cost in perspective with the people you so adamently want to fight. This is the 21st century, and most meaningful fighting is no longer physical, but rather, predominantly intellectual. Either way, I firmly believe that you're both ill-equipped to mount much of a counter-offensive.
Instead of getting mad and claiming that you'll crack this and that in the name of the stars and strips, why don't you think hard about how to make lasting change. For some reason, I seriously doubt that your aggressive tone here has frightened anyone at all.
Nobody in their right mind enjoyed seeing the graves, or funerals, of veterans defaced by fanatics. Nobody. Don't humiliate their memories by threatening action that you will never, ever deliver. If you want to make a realistic impression, why not start by immersing yourself in thought, all the while staying silently respectful. Trust me when I say that you'll always have time to vent your anger later.
