Yeah?!? Well God told me that anyone who opposes the war in Iraq is a Goddamned pedophile!

Pederast.

Actually, I'm not for or against the war. I just find those against the war so much more abrasive than those for it, so I usually take the other side.

XOXO,
Joe

Edit: Properly, I should say that I am much more abraded by those against the war than those for it.

Perhaps it's because they are the ones who are not getting their way. So they have more to complain about.

And perhaps their way makes a hell of a lot more sense.

I think that's a good part of it. There might be a lot of idiots out there who support the war, but for the most part the people that I see supporting it are old, calm, and rational. I'm exposed to many more idiots that oppose the war than those that support it.

I oppose passion and sicken at politics. In the current state, war opposers appear to instigate both. No judgment there, I'm not saying they shouldn't.

Shawnee: Supposing either side has the truth behind them, I think very few people manage to make sense.

Um, yay for dispassionately killing Iraqis?

No way to say that the war isn't political, though.

Sure there is, I meant politics in a different sense. I think my view on national politics is pretty well summed with something I heard on the radio that went like this:

Politics is a race. Now, there's no rule against having a good, moral, and just candidate in office. In the competition to get votes, however, a soul is dead weight and a candidate that carries one simply can not win.

I should have said that I sicken at 'politicking'. When Republicans are in power, Democrats play dirty. When Democrats are in power, Republicans play dirty. Whether or not either side is right, they're both playing dirty and that's what I sicken at. Because the Republicans have the inertia, Democrats just have to play it more openly.

And, just to say it again, I don't support the war. . .or oppose it.
