we say terrorists kill innocent people...

Hey did you see Doonesbury today? Good.

I'd call babies and little kids with their arms and legs blown off innocent.

Yes. So it's kind of obvious that I'm not talking about them. :wink:

I am referring to the people who can vote and who can influence their society, either by ingenuity or sheer numbers. If those people don't give a damn about what happens elswhere in the world, are they innocent?

And we blow as many arms and legs off "innocent" babies and little kids as do the terrorists. (Not that that changes the equation!)

The "we" in the title of this thread.

The argument is, you have done it personally by electing a government and paying taxes....no different to having arranged a "hit".

(not MY argument, but there it is anyway)

I say that terrorists personally and directly have killed innocent children. How have I personally and directly done the same?

First...try to get treated for the paranoia, Bart. It can get worse if you don't.


Sorry you considered my remark to be a direct, personal attack on you!

Try reading what was originally written...and my response...with your head out of your ass one time.

See if things change.

If not...come back. And I'll 'splain it in short sentences and with small words.


You might want to consider what Eorl wrote while reconsidering the conversation up to now.

[I appreciate your sincere concern about any paranoia I may be experiencing and if it makes you feel better I will talk to a professional about that who has been educated enough to diagnose and treat such a thing.

I did'nt think your remark was in any way a personal attack towards me if that helps to put your mind at ease.

I don't know what you and yours are capable of but I can assure you my head is not up my ass or anyone else's for that matter.

You don't have to use small words or short sentences Frank....I think your doing just fine.

Take care now....buh bye.

It does concern me so much whether they are killing innocent people or not.
It's enough that they are killing people.

And, of course, some of those they kill have been 'bad' folks. Have possibly killed others either directly or indirectly.

If it's somehow worse to kill the 'innocent', well then only very small children are 'innocent'. And even that could be argued.

I know I am not innocent. Neither is anyone posting on this board.
