What you and yours don't understand, little redneck cyberpunk, is that not everyone using this forum was born in the good old U. S. of A., and not everyone subscribes to your puerile, prehistoric thug mentality. I never asked your country to invade Cambodia, Grenada, Iraq, Nicaragua, [insert small third world country here], for me, and disagreeing with the decision to invade those countries does not make me a coward. If anything it makes me a participant in democracy, a concept you Americans are forever trumpeting on about, even if you have to ram your guns down other people's throats in order to force the rest of us to be "free".
And who the hell are you to tell me that I have not experienced the "overwhelming cruelty that man is capable of on a first-hand basis"? You know nothing of my experience. If you're going to make dramatic statements about the hard life you've had, you should back them up with some facts if you want it to stick as an argument.
Yo, User, your being used by your own government's status quo operations! Try reading a little Noam Chomsky, or check out the excellent documentary "Manufacturing Consent", which has enlightening things to say about our tacit acceptance of government actions that are less than noble. Think of how the Germans swallowed Hitler's propaganda whole and look where that landed them as a nation.
I don't want what you have. It doesn't mean anything to me, and I certainly wouldn't kill to have it. I don't fear those who would kill me for what I have, because I've come by it honestly, and I believe in fate.
So there you go. And names will never hurt me!
