@failures art,
Quote:You are introducing the UN now, not then JTT.
What the hell does this mean?
Quote:
You're rapid obsession with villainous USA is your blind spot.
It's hardly my blind spot. It does seem to be yours though and countless others.
Quote:For all your supposed compassion for all the people who the USA has killed, you seen to be a real big asshole about dominating the topics of others pain by hijacking and co-opting their tragedy so you can soap box to say the same thing you say every time.
You, normally a relatively sane individual, FA, seem to have gone off the deep end. Your tragedy?
Don't let it dominate you and what you want to say unless, unless, the facts are actually starting to get to you. Unless you think that introducing dengue fever to a civilian population and swine flu to a country's food source is part of normal trade relations.
Quote:How can you muster outrage day in and day out at the nebulous USA, and then come in and diminish the suffering of people who are the victims of other states?
I've hardly done that. I've pointed out those responsible for these actions and that is, in large measure, the USA, certainly with a great deal of help from Gt Britain.
The better question is, how can you go day to day without mustering any outrage over what the USA has done to all these countries and peoples? You expect that there will be a difference in this case; actually no, you didn't expect there to be any difference.
Quote:What a cowardly response. You don't want to say that thousands dying is worse, but you wish to leverage the numbers to make trivial the attempt to draw attention to this specific tragedy!
Actually, that's exactly what I said. I said that this smaller number is reprehensible, which entails that the action is reprehensible. Then I said, "You don't need any help to know where to place Iraq or Cuba or Nicaragua or Afghanistan or Panama or Grenada or Vietnam or Cambodia ... ".
Evidently, you do need some help. Those actions were way worse than reprehensible, by a couple orders of magnitude. They were way worse in their longevity and pure unadulterated malice.
Quote:You want others to have qualify their rage, but you seem to behave as if you're exempt.
I don't follow you but feel free to rage away, FA. But let's do have a wee bit of honesty.
