Agreed, they have guns in their hands and they wouldn't think twice about cutting mine or you head off if they had the chance. I was just bemoaning the situation they had grown up in that had caused the need to kill them.Gawdzilla wrote:If you're armed, you're an enemy combatant.

Very true.

Re: Combat footage.
I'm a pacifist, but I support feminism. In this case I think the latter wins. Fuck the taliban.

Change feminism to humanism, and I echo this sentiment. Well put, TRF ... although, I guess that means we're not pacifists, after all ...The Red Fox wrote:I'm a pacifist, but I support feminism. In this case I think the latter wins. Fuck the taliban.

Re: Combat footage.
Humanism is certainly a better word for my views. I used feminism because I was thinking specifically of their repulsive treatment of women when I wrote that comment.Charlou wrote:Change feminism to humanism, and I echo this sentiment.

As for my pacifism, I'm still as much for peace as I always was, but this invasion happened and I certainly won't lose any sleep knowing that some primitive, brainwashed misogynists aren't around terrorising innocents any more. I can't say I'm happy that killing is happening, there or in any part of the world, but if the Taliban won't change and become loving, rational, normal human beings then I won't mourn their loss.

Re: Combat footage.
According to Answers.com, pacifism is
Yes, peace (human freedom and equality) is the preferable ideal, and therefore oppression and violence can't be ignored or tolerated.
This seems to be a paradoxical, yet pragmatic form of pacifism.
But Wikipedia describes pacifism, thus:n.
1. The belief that disputes between nations should and can be settled peacefully.
2.
1. Opposition to war or violence as a means of resolving disputes.
2. Such opposition demonstrated by refusal to participate in military action.
http://www.answers.com/topic/pacifism
The bit I've bolded applies here, I think.Pacifism is the opposition to war or violence as a means of settling disputes or gaining advantage. Pacifism covers a spectrum of views ranging from the belief that international disputes can and should be peacefully resolved; to calls for the abolition of the institutions of the military and war; to opposition to any organization of society through governmental force (anarchist or libertarian pacifism); to rejection of the use of physical violence to obtain political, economic or social goals; to the condemnation of force except in cases where it is absolutely necessary to advance the cause of peace; to opposition to violence under any circumstance, including defense of self and others.

It was stupid and futile. He didn't even damage an US equipment, leave alone hurt or kill an enemy. Total waste.FrigidSymphony wrote:Am I a bad person for laughing at the one guy who blew himself up? For some reason I just found the idea of that very funny.
