Thompson on the rise

What a perfect example of doublethink!

We owe them. Therefore we should continue to occupy their country, patrol their streets, arm Sunni radicals, kick in their doors in the middle of the night, etc.? These two beliefs are seemingly incongruous.

We owe them, therefore we should prevent a much larger tragedy by staying there.

If we leave, tell me what happens? Please, take a guess.

Grab a gun and head on over there if you feel you "owe" them so much, or do you mean we as a collective unit as long as you don't have to do it?

He don't have to, that's what we pay soldiers for. Oh you know that already.

Grab a gun and head on over there if you feel you "owe" them so much, or do you mean we as a collective unit as long as you don't have to do it?

Typical chicken**** warhawk response. As long as it's someone else doing the fighting it's alright, right up until you have to move your fat ass out of the chair to do something inline with your politics.

I mean whoever willingly joined the military.

I wouldn't even be able to go legally, oh genius.

Man, I'm gettin' sick of you people saying that kind of ****.

I'm not obligated to do anything inline with my politics.

I can share my opinion freely, without fear of being forced into anything.

Why not? Too young? Too old? Brokedick? smoke too much pot?

I'm getting sick of you people hawking you bull**** politics at other peoples expense without being willing to take on the fight yourself. The military is not Bushs plaything, or his private police force to settle his pappies old scores, it is for defense of our nation, which, no matter what the bush lapdogs say is not going on in Iraq.

Too young.

Oh? So if it's to be used in the defense of the nation, should people who agree the nation should be defended be forced into service when it's time to defend it?

Figured

Forced? Nope, but if you don't it's your own downfall. Never said anyone should be forced so don't even try to pretend I did.

No you didn't.

That's why you asked.

So you don't think people should be forced to live up to their obligations?

Actually, yea, I did, hence it was first on the list.

Yes... how did I not see that?

Quote:

Wtf are you talking about? If you join than yea, if you don't than you are under no legal obligation, only a moral one to defend yourself, your freedom, and your country.

So, if I get a girl pregnant and she doesn't want to abort, should I be forced to pay for the child, as part of an obligation?

Yes.

Because, you see, a moral obligation should become a legal obligation.

No American that hasn't signed the contract is obligated to fight in a war he supports. He's obligated to pay for it, if he's able.

And even if you don't support it you're obligated to pay it, as you are part of this country too.

So, are you going to sign up to go fight in the war you feel we are obligated to be in, when you reach the proper age that is?

We owe them, therefore we should prevent a much larger tragedy by staying there.

If we leave, tell me what happens? Please, take a guess.

I'm not sure.

By the way, it's not like you choose whether or not you go to war. I can't go to the recruiter and say "I want to go to Iraq!" and they give you a gun and ship you off.

So, if I get a girl pregnant and she doesn't want to abort, should I be forced to pay for the child, as part of an obligation?

Yes.

Because, you see, a moral obligation should become a legal obligation.

No American that hasn't signed the contract is obligated to fight in a war he supports. He's obligated to pay for it, if he's able.

And even if you don't support it you're obligated to pay it, as you are part of this country too.
