The internet and Inhumanity

[Captain Oates 911]

Adults. No discrimination on sex.

What if it was night and the high tec night vision goggles (made in the USA with biblical inscriptions on them) could not tell if the chico or chica was 21 or 19 ?

Or 18 or 16 ?

Would you suggest holding the shot and giving the benefit of the doubt, or would you simply fire for the gut instead of the head - thus putting the human of uncertain age in a wheel chair for life rather than achieving a trophy kill ?

Whoever said anything about shooting them in the head? I just said shoot them...

So I am a British Nut (even though I am a US Citizen), and people who want to sharpshoot people swimming the river and blow their brains and guts into the rio grande which will run red with human blood - are simply frustrated citizens and must be excused because the US government made them do it by their inaction on borders...

It seems that position is considered decent and moral in the US and is more mainsteam than I thought.

My premise that the internet allows people to say horrible things that they wouldnt normally say, seems to be fading away in the light of these opinions.

*sigh*

You need to get high.

Come to the North-East and you'll see the difference.

This is true. We have nuts up here too, but of a very different kind. Not the gun-toting 'i hate mezzikans' type but rather "dude, we need a revolution *snorts coke*" type.

I don't do drugs or advocate their use or the killing of civilians

Is that so bad ? I repeat - is that so bad ?

It's like a mirror image universe here where up is down and bad is good - or in the words of my ex-countryman Mr Mick Jagger :

"Where every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints"

I don't do drugs

You should. It would help you with your "i take myself too seriously" problem.

Perhaps he was referring to rifle scopes. Either way, it's not very important.

Agreed - it's a silly little arcane detail.

really? rifle scope, that's mounted to the rifle. nvg, that's worn on the head - and can work with certain sights to make the rifle far more effective at night.

yeah, not very important detail at all.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Agreed. Back to topic.

It really isn't, unless you're actually a practitioner and plan to go shoot Mexicans with it.

Alan's overall point isn't really affected by that detail.

My only legacy will be raising awareness in a very tiny number of people that inhumanity and barbarity are not conducive to 'the pursuit of happiness' of our fellow humans and eventually ourselves as these things tend to ricochet back (no pun intended)

The supreme irony is that the people who want to kill civilians etc are usually church-goers and I am not

That makes me laugh without the use of drugs so I achieved both my objectives in raising this

Most people aren't angry, inhumane or barbaric. And yet, human happiness is more widespread than the media will have you believe.

I think it's time to start thinking about another legacy. It's never too late.
