This is one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. We need more police officers and sheriffs like Stan Lenic.

That may be fine on an individual basis, but you can't really apply it to countries. Shooting everyone who lives on the burglar's block because they share the same geographical and neighborhood watch association would be asinine


If you were referring to the Israel/Palestine situation then my friend you have no idea what you're talking about and I explained it a page earlier. You don't see the big picture.


I'm referring to modern war in general. The Israel/Palestine situation is even more idiotic than most modern wars.
 
Hmmmm...Idiotic is not the word I would use to describe this situation. But I'm curious why did you say so?

It's usually a good one for two groups of people constantly blowing each other up.

And clappies for grammar.

I'll admit that's pretty shabby grammar, but face it, the reason you're attacking his grammar is because you got nothing else here.  Any position that is pro-exec in this case is pretty much indefensible.

Feel free to pat yourself on the back for your perceived moral superiority though.

It's a good thing that under other economic systems, such as socialism and communism, nobody ever gets disproportionately huge payouts at the expense of the lower classes.

But whatever the political system, it's always satisfying to hear that they've been strung up or dragged through the streets. The French really enjoyed Louis XVI's beheading, or so I've read.

Romanians also enjoyed when Communist Ceacescu was executed. Dark Elf has a point.

I don't want anyone executed.  Much more satisfying to strip them of their wealth and force them to work at McDonald's for minimum wage for the rest of their lives.

I tend to agree Doc that bonuses in such a situation are lame.  But so is the behaviour of many unions who believe their train should keep rolling despite the economic conditions. Especially Govt worker unions.  Scott Walker is right that these folks need a tiny dose of realism.

Immediately after they do that you would have to be defending their right to a much better pay and, in general, to much more favorable conditions. That would be quite ironic. Because if you don't, your thing with them is kind of personal.

Bonuses for performance are good. I'm not sure why there would be bonuses in a sinking ship though.

Yep. That's right just blowing each other up with no good reason. You seem to understand what's going on there.
