I will say this: look at your histrionic reaction (bored at work or not,
that's what this is) and ask yourself... is this mindset a proper one for
evaluating world events? This is knee-jerk.

Did I say that? Or did I say don't blow his crimes way out of proportion?
My point was, call him on his offenses, without making them more than they
are. They are ENOUGH as is, but when you blow them up, you make yourself
and your position look foolish.

What? Are you serious? I said that calling Bush a war criminal, nay, the
"biggest war criminal of all time" or fuckit, call him Satan, I don't care,
is to downplay the crimes and evil of some men who truly deserve the title.
Just fucking keep things in perspective, jesus christ.

I can't believe I'm even going to qualify that. Go back and read what I
wrote. This is what I'm talking about, you got so hysterical you didn't
even read what I wrote! I said evil is evil, don't exaggerate it, don't
make it more than it is. Bush is OFFENSIVE ENOUGH for WHAT HE HAS DONE and
YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE IT MORE THAN WHAT IT IS if you want to defeat him.
Got it?
Fuck it, I'm done, everyone can go ahead and wallow in their ignorance.
How did I get into this again? :|

One last point: If you think terrorism is a response to our government's
offenses against the rest of the world, ask yourself why civilians were
targeted on Sept. 11.
Out.
