I agree wholeheartedly and that’s fundamental to the point I was trying to make above, which was rebutted with a “but what about body count” argument
-
The original tweet is making a body count argument, which is what I was poking at
-
Both of the body counts were about intentional attacks, it wasn't comparing oranges to orangutans like you were.
-
I would agree except that it was arguing the one is not as important as the other *because* of body count. Whereas I would say it’s all worrying because it is social in nature and the intention factor
-
Body count is important. Nobody AFAIK has denied that in this thread except, wrongly, you.
-
No those acts continue because people like you continue to elect politicians that don’t mind forever wars that line their pockets with money *cough Dick Cheney*. People like you - supporters of white supremacists and wat profiteers - lack all humanity. Shame on you.
-
"People like me." You don't know me. I never knowingly vote for the politicians like Bush, McCain, etc. who took the lead promoting these awful wars.
-
And I have often worked to oppose such wars.
