Powerful meme....

[rabbidrabbit]

For sure, but they tend to have different nationality than what is depicted in the said 'meme'. As I said, the ones that carry the fatigue and equipment in the pic tend to kill a lot of civillians (as per the statistics I provided). I'm just not a big fan of killers of civillians. And that is what US does.

I'll try again.  How does the meme indicate anything other than it's a soldiers duty to help the innocent?  Where does it even say the soldiers nationality?  I must have missed that because I don't see any nationality defined.  That is your assumption to support your bias coming into the discussion.   I'm not talking about your political points of view.  Taking it for what it is, how do you necessarily come to your conclusion or did you bring your prior prejudice ( stated in your reply ) into this thread?

really...well maybe you should do a bit of research

I know everyone likes to think they cant be wrong....but I can prove "jesus" is not his original name..... and I can prove what his original name was.

the KJV bible came out in 1611...the word "jesus" is no where in it...instead the name Isous(sp?) is there which is a Greek translation of Yeshua.

those are facts so open your eyes or believe the lies your choice.


edit

and BTW Gods name really isn't "The LORD" 

Not quite what I meant. You're reading too much into a fantasy novel. What your favorite character was called in the original print doesn't really matter, so long as the writing stays consistent.



Now that that's out of the way, shall we drop the religion topic? I understand that you feel strongly about it, but this is really not the place.

If you like, we can continue it via PM.

vent your frustration that it is against whatever it is you believe in.

Yes, it is bad to be against killing people....to a point I even agree...but we have to take into consideration that there are far too many people on this planet. But the question is...where you would start reducing them? We can't start from you, I'm sure, right?

im sorry hold on while I  some more.

I would gladly talk to you about it...but it seems like your mind is completely closed to the idea.

And that is what US does best.....considering a few tens of years....

Of course when you consider the last hundred years instead of the last few "tens of years," you realize we do other things best, like saving the world from a bunch of dictatorships started on your part of the globe and finishing wars you guys should have taken care of yourself.

Bwahahhahhahahahaa....    Sorry that the statistics won't support you retarted view of this world. No boubt, with your ethics and 'morals' you'd like to nuke it down, though.

As for considering the last big decade instead of the whole evolution of a human race....well, I'd like to think humankind should move forward in general. Some countries just do it faster than some police states...

I used to be open to the idea, I used to be a devout Catholic. But now I'm an atheists. I see no evidence of a god, nor would I accept one if there were. But to be clear, the later is for humanist reasons, not for any love of debauchery and immorality.


If you can convince me, I'll immediately adjust my thinking. I welcome you to try and convince me, but I am skeptical of your ability to actually try and argue your position, instead of just telling me your personal anecdotes and telling me the good god has brought into your life.

If you still wish to talk, I leave you with the opening move.

I agree you Kamfer as far as the whole thread is concerned but I'm guessing that the religion part will get it locked. You might have time to edit it (if you are so inclined).

Thanks for posting Widewing. I'm sorry your well meaning post turned into this. I enjoyed it immensely.

Again, you read far too much into it.  You are the one who decided to turn it into this kind of conversation, not I.  You were the one who was quick to label it a genocide poster.  You believe it to represent genocide, and someone argued against that, hence: vent your frustration that it is against whatever it is you believe in.  But it appears by the time you replied to my post, you hadn't noticed that the thread dove into religion as well.  It would also apply to them as well.  Granted, I shouldn't have used such blanket wording in that last bit, because for some reason you seem to think I'm Hitler.

Welp, I just aren't a big believer of war porn. Especially when the country in question has killed tens of thousands of civillians.

You were the one who was quick to label it a genocide poster.  You believe it to represent genocide, and someone argued against that, hence: vent your frustration that it is against whatever it is you believe in.

I really don't care about the poster one way or the other, I just aren't a big fan of genocides...

...nor am I a big fan of war porn...I really don't care how you take it.

Well this evolved quickly.
