Listen closely boy,
Your family fled a bad situation (IIRC) and moved to the United States of America so you could have a better life. You piss and moan daily about how horrible the country you live in is and the government that runs it. You then shoot your big fucking mouth off about me heading off to some imaginary battlefield to prove my point.
Based upon this logic you should pack your little bag, your peace signs, t-shirts with USA suxorz and don't forget the big fucking target on your ass, go to Iraq and be a human shield put your imaginary balls on the line or STFU.
The difference between you and me toker, is that while you have spent all of your life in peace and relative comfort, I have spent mine striving to attain and keep what you have. You on the one hand, have no clue what war involves, and the closest you'll ever come is playing paintball with your other adolescent friends. Me, on the other hand, well I've heard bombs explode outside my house, I've heard gunfire that went on for days at a time, I've had to hide under houses, in attics, and numerous other places in order to... STAY ALIVE, all this before I reached the age of 7. War is what destroyed my family, war is what took my father, war is what made the entirety of my life a fucking struggle.
Now that I have attained freedom and realizing all the sacrifices my family and I had to make to get here, I don't take it for granted. In fact, I exploit it. And guess what? I will fight and die for it. That would be a cause worth going to war for. You say that I complain about how horrible this country is, but you can't back up this claim because I NEVER FUCKING SAID IT. The government? You are goddamned right I'm going to complain. I'm going to protest every little thing I disagree with because that is my damned right, and I fucking earned it.
"A government by the people, for the people".
This idiotic government is going to
war for an unjust cause. The only just causes for war in my mind are self-preservation or liberation. No sane American believes their life is directly threatened by Iraq. Furthermore, Iraqis don't want to be "liberated" and certainly not by the United States. Since neither of these criteria are met, I have to conclude that this government's war is wrong. By wrong I mean it is contrary to conscience, morality, and law. It is evil, immoral, wicked, unfair, and unjust. I only see the aftermath. I see how they will have done to others what was done to me. I see a generation of Iraqis, Muslims, and middle-easterners growing up to hate America as a result of this, and I see more terrorism, more hate, and more war. And all of this because a corrupt politician weaseled his way into power and forced his beliefs on the world. How is it that so many people do not see this and I do?
I figure the reason is that I exercize logic when I come to these conclusions. It is humorous to me that bafoons like you throw around the word logic like it's your favorite baseball. If you knew logic, if you understood logic, if you studied it (as I have), then you would realize that your belief regarding this matter is just that, a belief. But go ahead and follow the God that failed, go ahead and be a burden to humanity, and when all is said and done and both of us have died, you will be in heaven and I will be in hell.
I tell it like a true mackadelic.
