Do the Peace Puritians

[Cryptoad]

have any red line that Assad could crossed that they would fight for? Intentionally gassing his own people seems no to be one!

[mike_c]

1. pretty much none, at least for me....

The U.S. is not the world's cop. Killing people because we object to the way they kill people is not the solution to anything, IMO.

[backscatter712]

2. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

[quinnox]

3. +1000 points to you, though

[awoke_in_2003]

29. Can't see the video in work...

but if it is from Billy Madison I fully agree.

[backscatter712]

32. It is. n/t

[Autumn]

4. The only red line I have is if he sends his troops here to launch an attack on the US.

No help for you here.

[malaise]

5. and that's the law n/t

[truedelphi]

53. Or at least it was the law until the nation became inthralled by

Neo libs and neo cons of all various political persuasions.

[Robb]

6. ...

??

[Fumesucker]

7. So it's been absolutely positively established that Assad's forces used the CW?

[demosocialist]

14. We are making all these hypotheses and I am waiting for the argument to be made

+1

I have no idea if I am for or against yet

[Cryptoad]

20. Far more proof than

Snowden furnished that the NSA is reading your emails!

[Scootaloo]

8. "Peace puritans"?

I suggest that you depart to perform carnal acts upon yourself, good sir.

[Aerows]

11. And the equine

upon which he was transported.

[Autumn]

15. Please! Not the equine. Perchance there is a bridge under which he

could live out his days in peace and solitude but I beg you, spare the equine.

[Robb]

24. Perhaps extended saunters from abbreviated docks.

[Autumn]

28. Would there by chance be ferocious man eating beasts

in the water at the end of that abbreviated dock? Cause I'd be good with that scenario as long as no animals are harmed.

[awoke_in_2003]

31. I have to remember that one. nt

[HangOnKids]

25. I think he rode in on an elephant n/t

[Aerows]

40. And the pachyderm upon which

he was transported.

[Autumn]

52. Do what you will to the pachyderm.

They have aligned with the enemy and as such the one pachyderm must pay.

[G_j]

54. Indeed

[Aerows]

49. Okay. Not the equine.

[AsahinaKimi]

60. Peace Puritans?

I would wear that badge..


I am sure the good residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will take that badge as well.

[Scootaloo]

61. Speaking of, I have to wonder...

How many of the people demanding for attacks on Syria today, were just a week or so ago arguing that the nuclear bombs were not only necessary but totally deserved.

Seems a bit of cognitive dissonance to me

[David__77]

9. Puritians? Like from some country called Puritia?

Damned foreigners!

[GeorgeGist]

19. I think he meant ...

East Persians.

[pinboy3niner]

23. Sounds like Purina's new, improved line of pet food

[HardTimes99]

51. Or one of the characters from a Shakespeare play. Come to think

of it, Shakespeare wrote during a time when there were actual Puritians

[bunnies]

10. No.

How about we stay the hell out of the middle east for a while. See how long we can go WITHOUT killing people. How bout that.

[joeybee12]

12. How about calling us "war virgins"???

It's sexier!

[David__77]

27. I'm sure you could work the "red line" in there somewhere.

I'm getting into my skit comedy mode.

[BOG PERSON]

38. anti-interventionists are really just afraid of fucking - prudes

thats whats being hinted at by "peace puritan" "peace purist" etc

pretty gross stuff

[HardTimes99]

55. Reminds me of a great hand-written sign I saw at an anti-war demo

to protest the Iraq debacle. Sign said simply: "LABIA: Lesbians Against Boys Invading Anything."

[seabeyond]

13. i think your post should be hidden with your purposely offensive "peace puritans"

i am so tired of this lazy ass way of arguing thru insult. you have a point? ask respectfully. i assure you, it can be done. and that also goes for the side that screams warmonger and all the other insulting little names they give people

[quinnox]

17. +1

[Glitterati]

16. No. None

it's not our war.

[Brickbat]

18. What the fuck is wrong with you?

[Electric Monk]

21. Looong overdue for a pizza. MIRT let one slide under their radar.

[hrmjustin]

37. He is beyond our reach at Mirt.

He is above 100 posts.

[Autumn]

39. This one should be kicked up to the admins.

[hrmjustin]

58. I read the start up date on this poster wrong. Self deleted the mirt post.

[backscatter712]

65. Might be time to pass the word up to Skinner then. n/t

[hrmjustin]

66. I was not the first alerter but I hit the TOS button.

[quinnox]

22. I believe this image is appropriate, at this point...

[REP]

26. Attacking on US soil

I would probably take up arms against an invading force myself, and I'm old and in kind of crappy shape.

But intervening in a foreign civil war? That always goes well for everyone.

[MelungeonWoman]

30. So, to paraphrase your post,

You want to know who has to die in order for TPTB to get their war on?


For me, I think a direct blast delivered from Assad to the Heritage Foundation headquarters would certainly do it for me. Yes, if they hit the Heritage Foundation, we would have to go get those Syrian bastards!

[quaker bill]

36. only if they double tap...

[bravenak]

33. We need to get more creative.

Peace puritans is so yesterday. I'll try to come up with something. War deficients? Armchair unwarriors? Peace Divas? Make love not warnicks? I'll think on it.

[quaker bill]

34. a pointless question

It pre-supposes that killing "his own" (note the possessive) people with guns and knives is somehow less of a problem.

[struggle4progress]

35. It would be great if we could have conversations here without calling folk names

[Democracyinkind]

42. Are trolls having a field day with Syria?

[Glassunion]

43. Do the Amoral Haters have any line that can't be crossed?

[cali]

44. ack. do you have a fucking clue what's going on in Syria,

what the rebel opposition is composed of? do you have any grasp of the possible ramifications?

Never mind. that was rhetorical.

the only people with that simplistic pov, are fucking clueless.

[rug]

45. What line will you not cross to get Assad?

How many bodies will you step over?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

46. Hell, if it makes you happy, I say we just kill everyone in the Middle East.

I used to have very strong anti-war principles. Then one day, about a month ago, I started thinking to myself, I sure wish a new poster would show up with right-wing ideas and the persuasive skills of a third grader. I sure could get behind someone like that. And just look! Fate, or God, or something caused you to show up in my greatest hour of need. Praise be!

Now, who needs killing?

[WinkyDink]

47. We could send Rummy to shake his hand! (Or have you forgotten the Bushes?)

[nadinbrzezinski]

48. So when are you enlisting?

I am for peace, but done my time. I have found out that's easy to support war when it is not you doing the dying?

Hey, I will even drive you, or your kin of military age, to the recruiter.

[HardTimes99]

50. Heads up, everyone. This is the DUer who said he knew Ellsberg and that

Ellsberg was a "Dick head" (sic).

Forewarned is forearmed.

[Taitertots]

56. Personally, I wouldn't murder other people unless they created an imminent risk of death or serious

injury to myself, my family, my friends. And I don't think the US military should murder people unless the danger meets the same standard.

What is your red line that you think the US should murder hundreds of thousands, if not millions of innocent people? A few hundred people that might have been gassed, it might have been by the government, and it might have been authorized by the government.

But I'm just a "Peace Puritan" for not wanting to repeat the same mistakes the US made that cost the last few hundred thousand innocent lives.

[leftstreet]

57. I thought it was 'peace purists' not 'puritans'

I'm so confused

[Bluenorthwest]

63. It depends on the size of the brim of their hats I think...

nt

[NoOneMan]

59. Any war I'm not itchin to fight in myself is a war I can't support

Otherwise, its just well wishin while you send some other poor sod to get their ass shot off


And guess what...I'm not signing up any time soon for this one. I got bigger battles. Hell, we all do

[whatchamacallit]

62. Your post gassed thousands of my brain cells

[Cali_Democrat]

64. LOL

That was pretty funny.

[pinboy3niner]

68. DUzy!

[hrmjustin]

69. Well said!

[leftstreet]

70. LOL

[AgingAmerican]

67. Insult FAIL

nt

[Vinnie From Indy]

71. What is a "puritian"?

eom

[markiv]

73. the red line for me would be you going over there in uniform

to do the fighting

if it were THAT important, then i'd consider it

(please let me know when you do, you'll have my support)

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

74. Do you have any green, blue, or mauve lines that we should kill for?
