I have this friend who acts before he thinks and is constantly doing stupid stuff that puts his life in danger (so far not fatally, thank gawd). So when anybody does something stupid that puts their life in danger, we call it "pulling a Carl". So, Instead of Hitlering or Naziing, I think it would be more acurate and less offensive to say "pulling a Nazi" or "pulling a Hitler".OK, last post in this thread. I'm invoking Godwin.
They weren't Hitlered they were Nazied.

My 2 cents.
It'd be nice if that's all you did, but you tend to bring up Pallies and Izzys in whatever thread you fancy whether any mention of them has been made or not.You are misinterpreting me LG. I have a problem letting BS stand unchallenged. If someone posts BS, I'll challenge it. I'm sorry that it is distracting or annoying.
The entire planet can THINK it's important, but that's irrelevant. Until the majority plans the remedy and DOES something about it, it won't change.[/quote] We've been manipulated by BS to think that the other people are different from us, when in fact the differences between are relatively minor. We have the resources to solve these problems. What we lack is the will to do it.[/quote]So? Like I said, I can't see that happening in the foreseeable future.Both problems are resolvable, if a majority of us decide its important.
We were joking.Killing civilians when they are working next to soldiers or at military sites aren't a problem for most people if we are killing them. Then its called collateral damage and its easily remedied by a statement of regret and blaming the other side for using human shields. when someone attacks our military and kills our side's civilians, then most of us have no problem identifying their other side's heartless cruelty. I call this "moral relativity". (See Orwell's observations about this phenomena above)
Starting to get what? I never was into killing people.Now you're starting to get it. Civilians are labour units when they wear out or fall apart from bombing usually a ship load of brand new labour units may be had for the picking, literally. The pentagon is a high tech meat grinder and nothing else.
We bomb thousands of tiny children and old people every year. Gee I feel safe and cozy, let's have some burgers and fries while we watch something stupid on the telly.
I never raised that topic in this thread. Someone posted a misinformed opinion regarding Iran's nuclear program. I posted a link to myths and facts on that issue and moved on. You got your panties in a knot. If my opinions annoy you, please put me on your ignore list.It'd be nice if that's all you did, but you tend to bring up Pallies and Izzys in whatever thread you fancy whether any mention of them has been made or not....
