  • While I agree with your sentiment, I disagree with the overreaching arc of it.

    I'd also like to note that you're taking about the person who actually committed the crime rather than someone who is only connected to the crime by the uniform they wear, regrdless of their hand in the action.

    A cook or nurse or on the other side of the planet from the atrocity can hardly be blamed for what the infantryman did on the individual level, or what the military has done on an organizational level. Furthermore, you don't even know if they oppose those actions or are fighting against it in their own way until you talk to them. That's the point I'm trying to make that others

    If you fail to see and acknowledge this, then we have nothing more to discuss.

    That said, extremism should be fought, no matter who it's coming from. I have plenty of right wing friends I've cut contact with due to their extremism. And if I had friends from the left that were as crazy as some of the people I've seen here, I'd do the same.

    Extremism only leads to more extremism and more fighting and more death. I'd prefer to avoid that if possible.

  • So you're going to disrespect and blame the individual that had nothing to do with it because of the actions of others?

    I'm not saying that you should let the organization as a whole off the hook, but should we really be putting the individual in the cross hairs without knowing what their story is?

    Are you going to put the medic that helped the injured innocent in front of the firing line because other people bombed the area?

    The big issue I have with your statements, and those of the OP are that they are extremist. It's possible to have a nuanced conversation about it without resorting to the extremes. No wonder the pot keeps calling the kettle black

  • Yea, but neither is blind DISrespect. There's a lot of examples of bad and there's a lot of examples of good. Kinda fucked up to lump an entire group into one side or the other... Don't ya think?

    Bet I get blasted for this take.

  • Nah, that's the junk drawer. This one is all the random kitchen tools drawer. Ladles, can openers, spatulas, meat thermometers, wooden spoons, etc. this and the junk drawer are two different drawers

  • I'd rather deal with a poorly designed bottle cap than half the shit we have to deal with here in the US. There's a reason you're getting down voted. What you said is so narrow sighted that it's not even funny.

    We have MUCH larger issues we have to deal with than a stupid bottle cap. "Glad I don't have to deal with that here" is showing a willingness to ignore everything else.

  • Is THAT your litmus for freedom?! In some states women can't choose to have an abortion. And in all of the states people have to choose between going to the doctor or paying rent that month... But goddamnit, at least they don't have to deal with those pesky tethered bottle caps!
