  1. Re:Making Peace? on North Korea Conducts Third Nuclear Test · · Score: 1

    That would create a united Korea in the same position as Germany after the curtainwent down, spending a huge amount of it's GDP rebuilding half the country from nothing.

    They wouldn't be nearly in the same position as Germany was after the reunification. The DDR can't be compared to NK at all. The DDR had quite a few problems but they were not even close to the problems NK has. As a starter nobody starved to death in the DDR.

    and that's why i like to live in Europe. The European human rights court (don't know the proper name) killed a similar law same weeks ago. Germany tried to pull of the same shit, with the same argumentation and failed.

    At least with Obama there is a decent chance that he's cautious enough not to use inflammatory rhetoric. Imagine what Bush would have said and how Ahmadinedschad would have used it. There are some things Obama did that i didn't like but right now i'm very glad the he's the leader and uses his brain, not his guts.

    I really can't find an answer to your post. Your priorities are that off you're practically insane.

  24. Re:Cats on Online Vigilantes, Or "Crowdsourced Justice" · · Score: 1

    Both of these statements either imply that killing kittens is fine (which I doubt your implying), or that its a lesser problem than war, and thus we shouldn't be mad about it.

    not that we shouldn't be mad about it, that is the point where you get it wrong. Organizing a global hunt for someone who kills kittens strikes me as mad. Not only in the face of cruelties done to humans but generally. I can understand if people in the area get mad about it and try to catch the asshole. But if one can watch the news and do nothing but see a cat killed and participate in that then the person has their priorities skewed.

    I shouldn't help that guy over there, because there are millions of other people who need my help in Africa!

    That is fallacious reasoning.

    That's why i didn't say that. Read it again

    People who kill kittens for fun are probably going to be dangerous in other ways. It is one of the signs of a burgeoning serial killer, for example. Actually, if I saw someone killing a kitten for fun on the street, I'd beat them within an inch of their lives, then take the kitten home with me, then call the cops on him, and his boss, and his family.

    yes, i seem to be the dangerous one. Beating a human almost to death because of a cat makes you practically a saint
