This article is so stupid that it makes me go crazy. Does anybody here have strong opinions about the drone program? I'm in favor of it but I don't think you need to LIKE it to have a problem with somebody putting an equal sign between "drone strikes" and "walking onto a school bus to shoot a girl point blank in the head." |

Yeah, it's a pretty disingenuous equivocation. There's a reason the legal system differentiates between murder and manslaughter. I do think drone strikes are shitty and shouldn't cause so much collateral damage if they're going to be used as often as they have been, though. |

It's a myth that the Middle East would work out its shit if the West just left it alone. It's something that sounds intuitive and that people want to believe because it would save a lot of money but it has no basis in reality. |

I'm sorry, I didn't have time to read your whole post, but I saw that you mentioned something about a thing that people want to believe that has no basis in reality. Were you talking about gender equality?? |

Naw a chat bro didn't know what you make of your post so maybe you'll read it again and find some ambiguity that you missed and now if you change it everyone will know |

You could be talking about anyone on FTU relative to yourself (or Matthew Outland). _________________ Last edited by God on Fri Apr 05, 33 4:00 am; edited 1 time in total |

MADali, I wish the US picked its wars better and I don't think it should or ever will fight a war with Iran. I would be happy if we just continued the war in Afghanistan forever, plus secret drone wars wherever they're needed. |

If America ever attacks Iran, I will join the war and hopefully put a fucking bullet in John Buis' stupid retarded redneck brain. |

If there is a war, I'd be so unlucky that I woudn't even face any action, I'd probably be stuck in a trench somewhere for six years, waiting for the enemies, eating shitty food and smelling like shit, and then after six years, they tell my group that the war is over.
Sometimes I fantasize about there being a war, and the Iranian army using me to interrogate American POWs because of my above-average english language knowledge compared to the rest of the Iranians. |

Good luck extracting answers from American POWs when you have no grasp on the concept of Haterade. |

MADali's post is excellent.
I would want MADali and I to fight in a sniper battle in a bombed out city where he's The End and I'm Snake. |

I would play some KINKS to lure MADali out and we'd sit around and put our guns down. We'd smoke some opium and agree that war is gay. |

Smoking opium with your friends is the best thing a couple of guys can do in this life. |
