I was mainly interested to see how far you or seretogis would take your ridiculous accusations.
Once you two stepped in, the discussion took a dive. I'll come back in a week to see if it's recovered. Maybe you'll take a break and revisit this thread when you are less prone to start accusing fellow Americans of hating their country, shoving nasty statements in their mouths that they never said or would say ("evil," "child killing," ? fucking please spare me the theatrics), and just in general not adding much to the discussion.
We were providing context for how these things don't happen in a vacuum, but that doesn't fit into your dichotomous good vs. evil paradigm. Thumbs up, baby, have fun castigating fellow citizens in persuit of your value of freedom and helping others. The altruism flowing from your eyes unfortunately prevents you from seeing what the people you claim to be helping actually want--you to leave them the fuck alone.
It's like when little johnny is splattering brownie batter all over the kitchen and his mommy has to say," mommy really appreciates your help in making the brownies, but it might help more if you played with your Legos over there..."
