KorpDeath, through your continued use of exaggeration and sarcasm you have consistently come across as if you aren't, even for a second, taking this seriously.

Consider the source.. Here's a guy who is pissed with the U.S.gov't (for whatever reason) so he...
why do you not question what the reason is? this is my nomination for understatement of the millenium, and an example of the more amusing side of sarcasm.

Anything coming from him (McVeigh) is moot.
i am sure similar writings exist written by other authors and you could find them in minutes, yet i am guessing that you have not followed this up because even the idea of it is moot.
Quote:
I tell you what, you go hide behind McVeigh's words all you want, he's a coward. So what does that make you for using him as your argument?
from a logical perspective, as an arguement, you propose that McVeigh's arguement is invalid and so it can all be ignored. you made no attempt to argue that what is going on is "right" or "moral" or ""whatever""". So you don't have an arguement. But this is not logic, it was an arguement directed at Conf1rm3d_K1ll. You do not have to look at what Conf1rm3d_K1ll is saying as an arguement to refute just information or misinformation, but the subject matter of the writing is still valid and should be broken down and analysed (or does that sound a bit too reductionist?) and certainly not ignored.

Conf1rm3d_K1ll>Perhaps some people feel the same about your President and his army of half witted, redneck sidekicks....Perhaps some people feel the same about your President and his army of half witted, redneck sidekicks...
from reading your posts this is the type of bold statement i can associate with you and although i find it amusing i think that this time being rash, and too quick, in your response only provoked KorpDeath and created an "atmosphere" which prohibited serious discussion from taking place. War is serious and should be treated so.
Quote:
I think Iraq, with Saddam as a leader, is probably a bit more hostile and willing...
what if he actually did it? replace Iraq with US and Saddam with Bush, now, what if he actually did it? would either case effect the universal? most likely not, unless it becomes nuclear.
Quote:
as long as were quoting mad men
amusing, but not taking the subject seriously for a second.
Quote:
...there are some credible comparisons in that essay
more of this is needed here, this area is mostly unprobed. Mostly there are arguements to why the writing is invalid or shouldn't be taken seriously.
Quote:
Lets think. The end of the cold war. The signing of the Treaty of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons in the 70's by multiple nations. And let me also remind you that its Russia, that has the most nukes still active, not the US. He needs to get his facts strait.
This is why i would not have entered this thread ninty percent of the time. Conversation about war undoubtedly progresses to politics and history at some point. the future is more important.

What does it matter what someone that you have never met says on a forum that has no influence on your country? I can tell you : nothing. Were just here to express our opinion, thats why we shouldn't take anything personally.That goes to basically everyone here.
We just ARE here to express our opinions, and we shouldn't take it personally, but war is a REAL LIFE threat and not part of some make-believe "internet world(tm)". and to a small extent it does matter what someone you have never met says on a forum, trace your world line, you do not know who you are going to come into contact with and there are a lot of young impressionable minds reading these forums, and all others like it, and i do not think that hostile or otherwise mistreatment of the subject of war is appropriate because someday it will fall to the next generation and the next and it will matter what they think. perhaps it is too late to prevent what is to come this time, but it is pointless to try and cure over and over again, or clean up after a war. If time continues flowing constantly then we should have a good few million years to try and get off this planet before our sun swells up and engulfs the inner planets. I may be looking redicously far into the future, but since We have for the first time in all Our known history harnessed enough Energy in molecules like uranium to completely destroy ourselves, then it is important to consider the question:
do we want to exist for millions of years, or until next thursday just after lunch-time?
your world and mine,
me.
