No I understand that, and I usually oppose the kind of bombing that America engages in. I do support the bombing of military installations, such as air bases, and as far as the information we have been given here, in this circumstance, we actually did bomb an air base, which is why I initially supported it. And again,…

The kind of humanitarian intervention I’m thinking is something like what should have been don to prevent the genocides at Rawanda or the Balkans. I’m definitely for going to war with some people if they are committing genocide/ethnic cleansing. I mean, that to me, if you start indiscriminately killing and raping your…

Okay yeah but I wasn’t saying we should kill random people though. I’m operating under the assumption that this was a military installation that was bombed. I’m thinking we’re talking about bombing like a base where they are keeping planes that they are using to gas people with, so that we can prevent or deter them…

After hearing some more about this, I think I changed my mind about it being a good idea. It seems it was either a pointless waist of money and lives, or it was a the beginning of WW3, depending on who you ask. Either doesn’t sound like something I want to get behind.

It may be troubling to you. I’m not particularly concerned about what troubles you though. I’m concerned about doing the right thing and taking the right stance on political issues. And I never equated lying and killing, except in that I consider them both wrong. And so, I used one as an example to illustrate what I…

Okay, now there is an argument. Killing is wrong because someone else’s life is not mine to take. I can see that. But is it enough for me? I’m not sure. My hang up is and remains this. Even if we agree that killing is wrong in all circumstances, might it not still be right to do the wrong thing sometimes. For…

Whether it’s Americans or Syrians, whether it’s Brits or Germans, whether it’s you or me, killing people (and, by obvious extension, war) is wrong.

I am not imagining a scenario where I get to kill people though. I am imagining a scenario where you get to kill people. You seem to be avoiding this question because, I suspect, you don’t have an answer for it. I understand your frustration, because I don’t have an answer for it either. This is what makes me unable…

I agree wholeheartedly. But if killing some people prevents other people being killed (again, regardless of what language all parties involved speak), is that not good? Does it not at least complicate the simplicity of the statement “killing people is bad”?

I’m gonna need a better argument than that to convince me (not that you want to convince me). I’m probably willing to be convinced. I don’t like war. I myself grew up in an area that often felt, to me at least, like a war zone, and I have seen people around me die or kill senselessly. I’m prepared to admit that war is…

I don’t know about that. Was the British declaring war on Nazi Germany a bad and dumb decision?

That may be true. I think the iraq war was bad and dumb. I think the Vietnam war was bad and dumb. Given our recent track record when it comes to wars, if we get into another war, it’s hard not to imagine it will be bad and dumb. I’m not an absolutist though. I don’t think war is inherently bad and dumb.

Why?

Interesting that you say that, which is something I didn’t know. But of all the dumb decisions Trump has made since he has been president, this is like the one I reacted on the scale of indifference to positive. At the least, this does nothing. One step from that is that this is a purely symbolic gesture. And at the…

lol I love this video.

Not all of it was good. The highest level Witcher gear was all basically ugly. It’s like the higher level it got the uglier they all became. It was terrible. And yeah, Griffin was especially bad. I ended up modding the game to just have Griffen look like Wolf School and that was it.

I hate this.

I actually agree 100% but I don’t think that statement applies here.  

Nothing misleading about the headline. It is both factual and represents the content of the article. The student wrote the thing 100 times. And he did get accepted. I took it to be the fact that he was accepted even though he didn’t write an essay or whatever that made it significant.

But one is much more of an asshole, I hope you understand that. I feel like this is a problem these days. Someone does something bad, someone does something a lot worse, but because both things are bad we equate the two things in our mind, not understanding that there are different levels of bad.
