Oh, oh. Here we go. "My country, right or wrong." I'm sorry, John
Wayne, but I don't subscribe to that idea. When your country tells you
to go somewhere to shoot someone for reasons they're not being
forthcoming with, it's your moral obligation to ask why. If you're not
brave enough to ask why, you can go on along and you'll be forgiven for
your cowardice. But don't pass off your acquiescence as a high ideal.
In a democracy or a republic, we don't serve the government; the
government serves US. We are therefore responsible for its decisions.

Not really. This is sport. You're just a slow fish in a barrel. Hahahaha!

You're too thick to understand what I said. Character requires that you
discern for yourself your own values based on personal experience. You
don't absorb values like a dumb sponge, when someone squeezes you.

Tripe how? I defended it, and I explained it. That you can't
understanding it is a reflection on YOU, not me.

What the hell are you talking about, you asshole? Did you not insert
your unasked-for opinion in a thread that had nothing to do with you?
Gosh, dufus, think this through.

You're an idiot. Use your own name, shit-for-brains. I use MY own name
while it's populated by idiots like YOU. I find it hard to take
seriously someone who names himself "Phat Bytestard." That's cute.

Here's one for you: HOMUNCULUS. "Cretin" is another.
