QuoteIt's War. When you make war, innocent people will die. However it's the choice that one has to make. Accepting the truth doesn't make someone evil.
I'm well aware of that. It was the way Dr. Carson said it that was idiotic. Bombing them is an act of mercy? "You got it!" as his reply when somebody asks him if he was okay with the thousands of deaths that will occur from bombing. I am well aware war is war, and that yes, when you're in it to win it, sometimes innocents have to die. That being said, he couldn't have expressed his views just a little bit better? It wasn't what he was trying to say, but how he said it, that makes me think he isn't all there, brain surgeon or not.
Yea that was stupid. Actually now that I watched it again, it wasn't really that bad. By merciful he means to get the bad deed over and done with instead of letting it simmer in hells kitchen. You know, the bottom line, for all that we think of ourselves, we are really just numbers. Which is why those that issue the order to kill are never on the battlefield and we use munitions that ensure we don't have to look the enemy in the eye. You know, cause it would be sad. They should admit it though, that it is easy to conduct war on people that you consider different from you. It's an unfair question though, can you order an attack that will kill innocent children. Of course, any of us could. The moment we feel danger we act without hesitation.
Now about that stuff on shortcomings and failure. You're simply born into the card deck that's stacked against you. Hell some even think it's at a genetic level. I was bought up thinking that we can all achieve what we want but that is simply untrue because first you have to survive. In fact the only way many people can achieve is by throwing away their responsibilities and loved ones. Thus freeing up the time and resources necessary for achievement as defined by a certain somebody here. If you're not successful it's because you're not trying hard enough? That's bullshit. It's because we're human beings and who decides what failure or success is? Yea the winner, that's who. That bastard also gets to write the history that we are all taught in school.
The bottom line is that our current system is f**ked up and overtly divided by a complete lack of rationality. Just look at the entire GOP field and those Donkey's on the other side are just as dense. Then there are those over seas, which sea? You tell me. Europeans, Arabs, Russia, Asia and everybody else. I mean f**k we're all the same people here. Yet as an American I know we love to f**k each other over for a god damn percentage. We surely do it 100,000,000 times a day I suspect. What the hell is the matter with us? Man I have a huge rant in here but the system we play in is asinine and obsolete. We. Are. Doomed-rulz™.
