Actually, I said "I have not seen anything yet". I realize attention to detail is hard to your limited mind but please at least try to keep up.Originally Posted by Ashen
Yes, 'like' is an approximation. However your true intent was obviously to exaggerate the length of the video in order to undermine what I said. Everything above is long-winded bullshit. I will hand it to you though, you're good at bullshitting.And if you took the time to actually read my post I said "like 40 minutes" I admit I didn't waste my time and look up the actual time of the video to argue with some ingrate over the internet. However I did make an approximation that in effect got my point across, which was my objective; you took it upon yourself to turn a blind eye to my primary point and attack my technical faults. I even used the word "like" as a disclaimer that it was an approximation, it may be subject to fault, and that the actual number wasn't of relevance, solely the fact that you made a generalization about something just by observing a portion of its content.
Actually the Geneva Convention was cooked up by nurses and social justice advocates, not the evil Republican party of the U.S. FYI the Geneva Convention pretty much is the be-all end-all for conduct in theater.And sorry I prefer not to educate myself on flawed laws created by faulty corrupt human beings. I didn't know that the Geneva Convention was the be-all end-all universal law on what is "right" for war. Nothing is "right" about war and just because it is in the bounds of legality does not make it right. In fact, I never once stated that the video showed footage of "war crimes" or anything of that relevance. I said it was disturbing and the United States was being hypocritial.
On another point, there are many "right" things about war, which is far from nothing. It all depends on which war and who was doing what. But hey, who has time for all that crap, right? Let's all go be uneducated like yourself, we can all form baseless opinions and have a hell of a time! :wink:
In reference to the bolded statement, by calling the U.S. hypocritical you are saying they are using chemical weapons to fight a war against chemical weapons. Therefore you are accusing them of warcrimes. One side or the other, it's quite black and white. So pick an argument. However if the above is your argument (as it seems to be based on the video and everything you said about it and now) you're wrong, because WP is not defined as a chemical weapon by the CWC.
Oh but that's right, international law isn't important or anything.![]()
Nice big block of rhetoric, moving right along.Hypocrisy is my problem right now. I've put an unfathomable amount of effort into defining the world around me by exploring every point of view, bias, and condition. I am searching for absolutes that are not affected by opinion and give a true definition. Hypocrisy is one of the few absolutes that I have found. I will give a series of examples for those of you who may not understand what I mean. I have taken certain "characteristics" and tried to define them under the subjective categories as "good" or "bad". For example when someone says honesty is a "good" thing I looked at it from the point of view where if a person were 100% honest they would appear as an asshole to other people. If a person candidly believed that a certain piece of work a person spent their entire life on was trash, and the author asked for their opinion, the honest person would end up insulting the author. Selfishness is another example; one could come up with an unbound amount of circumstances when being selfish could be either "good" or "bad". However, HYPOCRISY, what I believe is an "absolute", has no condition or circumstance when it could be considered a "good" thing, therfore making it absolutely "bad"
Ah there it is, your argument. Well there you are, being wrong, because as I said before, WP is not a chemical weapon.That was what I found most disturbing about the footage. Not the actual use of chemical weapons on civilians innocent individuals, but the fact that the American nation invaded Iraq under the motive that they were producing and using these chemical weapons. America: the ultimate hypocrit.
1) I didn't have to do any research except watch the video. I try to keep myself informed, unlike yourself.And I'd apologize that the time you spent doing research just to "prove me wrong" on a subject that had no relevance to my arguement was in vain, however I'm not sorry. If you hadn't made such a quick assumption on the conflict I was trying to present, the time you spent educating yourself to futily attack a miscellenious person over the internet could have been put to a better use. I'm glad you wasted your time, my own personal opinion is that people like you don't deserve the time that they've already been given because they make such little relevant use of it.
2) Ah so I see you're moving past being full of shit and moving up to being a total asshole. Nice move. Way to prove your excellent moral standing.
Hypocrisy is my problem right now.Interesting.And I don't think I've put more sincere feeling into telling a person they don't deserve to live; but in this case, I truely believe you don't deserve the life you've been given and you would be of better use dead.
Well if you want me dead why don't you kill me with some nerve gas or an actual chemical weapon then.

It says right there it burns through clothing.

The situation that is describing is small particles causing limited burns, not full immolation.
The above picture is a 'victim' of the incident described in the video. Not that his clothing isn't burned, but his face and hands are. Before you go screaming about WP and hypocrisy till you're blue in the face, consider what the sun does to bodies left out in it. Then lok at that picture. The burns are almost undoubtedly caused by the sun, and the fact that the bodies were allowed to rot for days outside.
Once again, use your brain. The news is full of shit.
Hahahaha I won't even address this, that was the most juvenile argument I've seen all year, I'm almost sure of it.No, it wouldn't be a different story.Originally Posted by Raivyn
I love how some people that I've never even met before try to tell me what I would think. Last time they WEREN'T me and I WAS me. Maybe that's changed by now, but I'm confident I know myself better then you do; you can't tell me what "I'd" do because you're not me.![]()
