re: #304 jamesfirecat

You asked me what I consider a ridiculous question about if it was okay for one country to defend itself when its attack. Obviously its okay for it to defend itself.

I felt rather irritated by this because I felt like you were trying to box me in or portray me as some kind of pathetic pacifist who feels it better to die than to kill someone defending yourself.

Therefore to show you how foolish I felt your question was I brought up one from the opposite end of the spectrum of “how much slack should we allow Israel” at one end we have “no they can’t fight back at all” and at the other end we would be giving leave Israel leave to salt the earth and castrate the males of the nation who attacked them to make sure it happened again.

Obviously the correct attitude lies somewhere in the middle.

Well, James.
I felt rather irritated yesterday when you tried to imply I would rather see people die than receive health care.

But I didn’t piss all over you, I simply responded.

It was the adult and mature thing to do.
