Listen, Naom Comsky isn't solving the worlds problems. He's analyzing them. Some folks, thank god, like to get dirty.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

So because I don't agree with this particular fight, that means that I'm unwilling to fight for what I believe in? Because I'm not afraid of some backwards-ass sand people? Are you fucking kidding me?

That's how you make it sound.

[RotationSlimWang]

... yeah, well, I mean... genocide's dirty, Vigo.

[guedita]

Naom Comsky.

[RotationSlimWang]

Thank god some people actually demand more basis for conducting systematic murder than just the impulse to get dirty.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

So is preventing it.

Meaningless rhetoric

NAOM COMSKY

[RotationSlimWang]

Right, which is why when there's a genocide going on, I'm with ya.

This is not a genocide. Sand people are not quite advanced enough for genocide.

[RotationSlimWang]

GETBETTER, GET IN HERE AND SAY SOMETHING! DON'T THINK IT OUT FIRST!

[getbetter]

I'm bored with this argument.

Syria is short of a Sunni Genocide.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Listen, just don't throw the service men out with the bureaucrats. You can't believe what you're telling that soldier. You have to be trolling. And it's a shitty way to troll. Stick to giving Zafo aggravation.

[RotationSlimWang]

I honestly am dumbstruck that everyone else feels differently. It's something I've never quite understood. I don't get how this all seems okay to all of you.

[RotationSlimWang]

Actually, I take that back: I know why you all feel okay with it. Because you are furbrain.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

So you don't see any need for a standing army.

[RotationSlimWang]

Any need greater than any of the other countries who are doing perfectly fine with much, much smaller forces that don't travel halfway around the world and make war on people? No, not particularly.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

I agree, but that has nothing to do with a foot soldier.

[RotationSlimWang]

I think it absolutely does. I think that the size of the force we have kinda dictates that you do something with it. Otherwise why the fuck are we paying all this money for hundreds of thousands of soldiers to just stand around our borders which fucking never get attacked by anyone.

Downsizing is not equivalent to liquidation nor does it mean to stop searching for talent.

[SoulDischarge]

There are few things more meaningless to risk your life for than "your country."

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Our country

[RotationSlimWang]

Die for somebody else's country, thanks, dickhead.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Your lethargic asses are subsidized by our military power anyways.

[Miroir Noir]

I honestly don't feel that my country has fought a single military conflict during my lifetime that was necessary to preserve either my freedom or way of life.

[stinkbutt]

Cheaper gas maybe

[VigoTheCarpathian]

I feel the same way.

Cheaper gas maybe

Yes, military and political leverage over OPEC.

You can also argue coversely, quite effectively, that the military establishment is protecting the very concentrated wealth in this country while bankrupting the working class.

Your lethargic asses are subsidized by our military power anyways.

I intended this statement to pertain to technological innovation more than hegemony over natural resources - but I'll hold it true either way.

[bmack86]

Can we change Cara's board title to Naom Comsky? Please?

[bobert]

I agree 100%. I also agree with Randy to a certain extent. I think all veterans deserve respect, gratitude is more of a case by case basis. Serving the military and serving one's countrymen are rarely the same thing.

[RotationSlimWang]

And Randy manages to convince a generation that veterans are dickholes. Another decisive victory for Randy, which brings the total count of the battle to Randy 3, America 2.
