SO MUCH NUANCE.

@ Putin33

First of all, I would like to apologize for my relatively late response. I've had a busy day.

"Are you mad? The Americans easily killed millions in the Korean and Vietnamese "police actions", mostly civilians. As I said, America dropped more napalm on Korea than the bombs they dropped on Japan in WWII. They annihilated everything that moved."

First of all, that's different because we did not kill millions of our own countrymen. Second, those kills were during wars. Third, the Korean War was the defense of a fellow democratic nation against communist aggression. I won't try to defend the Vietnam War, because it was far less legitimate than the Korean War, because America tried to prop up an illegitimate democratic government through conventional war against an asymmetrical threat. But the first point still applies. We weren't slaughtering our own people.

"This is why most people hate cops. A bunch of thugs who want to lock up anybody who disagrees with their fascist views."

I am not fascist, and will be the first to admit that fascism is almost as evil as communism. I also believe that you have a right to your opinion. But right to opinion is limited, like all other rights. The concept of communism is completely irrational.

"Remember kids, this is the same guy who provided security to the Gun Owners of America, a white supremacist gun nutter club."

I was simply observing one of their demonstrations. I am in no way affiliated with them.

Zimmerman is innocent, if the reports I have been reading are true.
Fact: Martin was shot in the chest, not the back.
Fact: Following someone for a short distance is not a crime.
Fact: Attacking someone is a crime. (the attack has been proven by two witnesses and the *unedited* police station video)
Fact: Shooting someone who is attacking you with potentially deadly force is not a crime.
Fact: A deadly altercation between people of two different races is *not* a hate crime unless it can be proven that the incident was racially motivated.
Fact: The media is race-baiting the shit out of this situation.

Do you know nothing about Korea? South Korea didn't have elections until 1993. Both North and South were pretty much the same, just one had the Soviets and one had the US. Neither was elected and Syngman Rhee slaughtered hundreds of thousands of civilians just after the war started. And you still call the south Vietnamese government 'democratic'?

Also, I don't see how killing civilians suddenly becomes OK during war.

@ largeham

Yeah, but look at South and North Korea now. Where would you rather live? Syngman Rhee still killed less people than Kim Il-Sung

"Also, I don't see how killing civilians suddenly becomes OK during war."

It's not okay, but it's more acceptable to kill the bad guy's civilians than your own citizens. Heavy strategic bombing is a legitimate way to fight a war.
