Eh, can't blame me for being an anti-war optimist.  Grew up on Star Trek and Gundam.  I believe people can be better than we are, and that war is the most useless ****ing thing we've invented after god.

If it's one thing Gundam and especially Star Trek taught me, it's that war is not only justified in certain circumstances, but absolutely necessary.

[Turambar]

well if there's one thing they've taught me, is that it's hell and suffering, and is perpetrated by the villains found on both sides.  With exchange of information and understanding, along with removal of those people who stand to gain from the suffering of others, pretty much any situation can end without people being killed.

There's a quote related to this stuff by a guy named John Stuart Mill but for the life of me I can't remember what it says.

[General Battuta]

War is a remarkably inefficient method of doing things, so in the long run the market should prevent it.

And, indeed, wars have been dropping off dramatically for some time now.

Extreme situations breed extreme solutions, remove those situations, and you remove the grip of those who use hardship to influence people.

I can think of a certain quote by Maddox, but it would hardly be appropriate for this topic.

Awww... I just read through the whole thread, and was all ready to make an on-topic post, when I got to the last page or so and noticed it's all simmering down.

How dare you agree on things, I wanted to stoke the fire! 

[Liberator]

You wanna stoke a fire?

President(though not my choice) Barack Hussein Obama is a nacissistic creep who may not even be American, nevertheless he seems to want to shove freedom eroding programs, executive orders and congressional law down everyone's throat simply because he knows better than the rest of us unwashed masses.

There, I feel better now.

[karajorma]

30 day ban from Gen Disc for trolling.

Now the rest of us feel better too.


Oh, and any one who replies to this obvious troll bait is joining him.

[Nuclear1]

Damn, laying the hammer down are we?

[karajorma]

I'm not well and you people shouting makes my headache worse.

[Nuclear1]

Here's a couple Tylenol and a Heineken.  Go lay down

[TrashMan]

This just strikes me as a big mistake. Nothing more.

The comments from the gunship operators seem pretty standard soldiers comments to me, nothing to cry home about.

[Dilmah G]

Mmm, I think adrenaline may have had something to do with their attitude.

Why not just post a link to Fox's website instead of spending all that time typing their broadcasts up yourself?

[Scotty]

Does that reply mean zack gets banned too?

It might actually be quiet down here for a few weeks.

[redsniper]

Nah, she gets preferential treatment because she's a girl, right?

[General Battuta]

Actually I think she did get banned by kara in another thread.

Might be back though.

[karajorma]

Does that reply mean zack gets banned too?

Yeah. It does. I quite clearly stated what would happen and she was pretty lucky I was feeling lenient earlier. She's gone for at least a week now and if I hear any whining about it on IRC I'll extend that.
