I didn't call anyone any names, and if I ever choose to, it will not be in the third party, it will be quite direct. I simply stated that a fool is pro-war, and likewise, a fool is anti-war even when war in unavoidable and necessary. If the shoe fits, so be it, but that statement is in no way directed towards anyone in particular. My statement simply means that it is a fool who wants nothing more than to go to war, that war is their first and preferred option. Likewise, it is a fool that would prefer placating an enemy, or straight up surrender, when fighting war is necessary.
"Why do you keep feeling the need to criticize someone's stance on WAR? Any WAR not just IRAQ."
I wasn't aware that I criticized anyone's stance on the war. I may disagree with someone, but it's just that, a disagreement. In any case, is criticism not allowed?
"If you read my post you will see that I talk about Vietnam as well. I will not justify myself to you on why I put this post out here nor should anyone else."
I never asked.
"This is a learning experience and that means you must be able to write something intelligent without being belligerant."
No it doesn't.
"Please be consistent on who you are calling a FOOL."
Soon as I call someone a fool, I'll certainly try my best to be consistent with it.
"I appreciate all the comments but the name calling is sooooo childish and when you start this you stop teaching. Noone will listen when you choose this route."
Like I said, I didn't call anyone a fool. If you see name calling here, that's your prerogative, but make no mistake, when I call someone a name, there will be no ambiguity about it. It will read something alone the lines of "You are a <insert name du jour>."
"Thanks for calling all of us that are anti-war and those that are for it fools. Don't flip flop just so you can insult."
If you are anti-war under any and all circumstances, no matter what the consequences, then yes, you are a fool. Likewise, if you are so pro-war that you prefer it to any and all other options, no matter what the consequences, then yes, you are a fool. There's no flip flopping, and there's no insulting. By definition, a fool cannot be insulted.
"Another thing do not guess at my intentions here you have no clue on who I am, o.k."
Well, to be blunt, I don't care who you are. I tend to reply to what is posted, rather than to who posted it. I do take it somewhat as an insult that you would actually have the gall to tell me what I can and cannot guess at, however. I feel confident in stating that you do not know me well enough to tell me what and how to think.
"Just like I do not know you."
Yet you have no problem talking to me like you do. Interesting.
"I am not here to make enemies nor friends. There is an intention spelled out for you, o.k. Unless of course you have the power of learning things through OSMOSIS. Then you may know a little bit about me. LOL"
I learn many things by osmosis.
"The intention of this post for those wanting to comment without being attacked is a LEARNING experience. Noone is the same so we all have a difference of opinions."
Including me.
"Please refrain from name calling."
Would it make you feel better if I called you a name?
"Please respect the right of others to communicate these differences in a civil way."
I respect the rights of others to communicated any differences they have in any way they see fit.
"This is war. It is a simple posted question."
Huh?
This is war? What is? This thread? Huh? What?
