I was absolutely serious when I called Kev 'gay' as an insult. I was in no way making a joke or pointing out that Kevin makes sense wether I agree with him or not and you recently stopped making sense. In the future, I will try to be more sensative about gayness. Thanks.

On Darfur, when I posted months ago that I thought we should take our troops out of Iraq and put them in Darfur where there was a strong moral imperative for there presence, Kevin's (I think it was him) response was that you couldn't make a business of saying which evils out there deserved priority. I've also posted that if the USA feels a calling to be in the tyrant smashing business, while Sadaam was bad, there were a number of rulers who ought to have come before him on the list.

"If you really do care about civilian casualties and the dehumanization of of innocent people, there are MORE topics out there to be outraged about, and they are FAR less grey."

Again: The Iraq war gets more attention from me because as an American, I consider myself complicit. You cannot imagine the grief and concern I'm caused by the fact you think this means I don't care about human suffering. Thank God Allmighty there are people like you, who's profound, significant, world altering, superior and honest compassion flows like a great river of bactine, soothing all the worlds boo-boos, and thank god for the mind reading powers of youir superior brain that allow you to truly read the hearts of others. Honmestly, it's a wonder you don't just explode in a puff of empathy, you wonderful, wonderful human being.

"It's impossible to pretend you fuckers give a shit about Iraqi lives when you're rarely impressed by the death toll numbers under Saddam. We at least know Saddam was TRYING to deliberately kill innocents"

You got me. My secret's out. I'm actually Hitler. That's how little I care. When Sadaam was killing people, he wasn't in an American uniform doing it at the behest of an American president and paying for it with American tax money. I'm an American. That doesn't mean I don't care when a tyrant kills people and only someone with seriously stalled emotional mental developement would make that assumption. Plus, there ar even worse tyrants than Sadaam out there and we don't do fuck all about them, so the idea that we went after Sadaam on account of how bad he was is ridiculous. As I've said befoe, I am glad Sadaam is out of power, I'm glad he's on trial, and I'm VERY glad he isn't killing people anymore. Does that mean I have to be glad that we are?

I know, I know, you know everything about the middle east and anyone who knows the things you do would be incapable of holding an opinion different from yours. Just in case you're still missing the irony, this is why I keep telling you to not try to make jokes. Because I know everything about funny and you don't so you don't have the right to your jokes and you shouldn't post them. There. I explained it for you. Now will you explain your Lionel Ritchie bon mot?
