"Meanwhile In Syria"

[SeventhSandwich]

He would still feel bad uf they would help us, therefore he isn't a sociopath.

Okay, so he completely loses empathy for anyone living in a country with poor diplomatic relations towards the US. I guess he's just a huge starfish then.

I like how you use the word 'then' to refer to all of Syria, even though many people in the country probably have friendly political views towards the US and wouldn't enlist in the military to fight us. As a comparison, this is brown townogous to the North Korean propaganda that depicts every American as a blood thirsty capitalist who wants to rape the good North Korean women and indoctrinate the pure North Korean children.

huh? have you not seen this picture? these are people in the middle of this civil war who took the time to do this. if you aren't going to feel bad for the fighters, at least feel bad for the children who are getting killed mercilessly. The way I see it, we are all human beings. and we all come from a common ancestor. This may sound cliche a bit, but come on. Why are there people who just don't give a crap about this stuff. I can't watch the news anymore without tearing up, while people just dismiss thousands of deaths in a single moment.

Yes I have seen this before and I still stand by what I said. If things were different, if they were affluent and we locked in a civil war slowly grinding ourselves to nothing they would not send aid. Their children will be raised the same way. It's how life goes.

Before you have an aneurysm, allow me to reiterate. While I understand their plight and wish them the best of luck, I see no reason for us to step in and help nor send them any aid. A civil war is fought for the country by its people. Outsiders shouldn't force their ideals on the populace. yes, I know that the US and most others had help during their civil wars, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a war between the people of a country to change it to their views.

exactly this
I really wish we didn't have a middle eastern agenda

[Bisjac]

most of syria wouldnt fight UN invaders. half of them were warring against the syrian gov, like we are about to.


not so fun bible fact:
the end of the world is supposed to begin when damascus falls. which if we go into syria, is about 100% chance of happening.
damascus is one of the oldest known inhabited cities on earth. hasnt been (short of the minor war damage for thousands of years) destroyed yet.

There's a big difference between empathy for people and foreign policy. Maybe you should specify next time?

Wow wow, hold on there. This isn't about aid. I'm not advocating aid for anyone or help for the syrians, what I am trying to promote is some awareness about this. Anyway, US aid isn't sent for the better of the people, it is sent for the better of US interests. In fact, I hope this entire thing can be solved without the US even getting involved. It is kind of the USA's fault though since they have quite clearly established themselves as the worlds police. Anyway, I can't believe this is the reasoning you provide for not giving a stuff about these people's lives. Don't look at color, nationality, or religion please. Look at the bigger picture.

[Bacon Pancakes]

Sad how the civilians really don't want war, they just want peace and love.

Maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions? Maybe you shouldn't persecute without full knowledge? Maybe you should at least learn someone's gender before you explain to them why they're an awful human being. :3

I think you missed the second half of my post and had an aneurysm in Seventh's place.

[Frontrox]

had an aneurysm in Seventh's place.

What is it with you and aneurysms?

Nobody is angry, it's just a calm discussion.

[Aripany]

Being called a psychopath is extremely calm.

Those terms are synonymous.

Forgot to respond to this. Not quite. I just grabbed a quick google, but if memory serves it has to do with whether they're born with it versus something causing it later in life.

Also Israel is attacked by a great power from the north who allies themselves with uhhh

forget I forget whom

I just know that stuff gets bad fast

seventh generates this aura which makes it incredibly easy to get angry at

He's just casually aggressive is all.

[comr4de]

Russia allies with turkey and iran and they bring a smack down onto Israel while Israel's allies refuse to help

That's the prophecy that begins Armageddon.

I jumped to conclusions because of your ambiguous, poor wording. I called you a sociopath, which is technically a diagnosis, not a persecution. I didn't ask your gender because it's not loving relevant you mongoloid.

Furthermore, just because English does not have a gender-neutral pronoun does not mean that there aren't conventions for which one you use. For centuries, the pronoun 'he' has been the default, regardless of how 'patriarchal' and 'oppressive' the word is. You list your gender as '____' in your profile, which gives me the option of wasting my incredibly valuable time asking you some trite, meaningless question that isn't relevant to our discussion, or resorting to using 'he' instead. I choose the latter.

Congratulations, you managed to nit-pick my argument based on obscure epidemiological facts. Yes, you're right. There's a difference, but in this context it's the same stuff.

Tell me Front, how calm is it now?
