After you get blown away standing next to them you will know that you were hanging out with the wrong people.
Don't look for any sympathy from me.
Blue_State;1062492204[B said:[/B] It's friday big guy.]I made it on a list of people who tick you off and you didn't have time to make a list of countries that terrorize the US? It is because no one in the US is terrorized by an outside country. Have a great day. Get a coffee and donut and smile.
lol,Osama bin Laden, is that you? Did you survive somehow?
If you don't know where Osama bin Laden is right now you are out of touch with reality.
I will never have time to do your work for you.
Deal with it.
This is because you can't name one.
I already told you that you have a problem so I won't repeat myself.
Would you like to answer any of the questions I posed or just ignore them?
So far you are just ignoring them.
How far away do I have to be not to be associated with this terrorist? 50 ft? 100 ft? 100 yards? 1/4 mile? What if he is driving by and I am farming? Is that my fault too?
Oh, please. Let's not pretend that drone strikes wipe out huge areas. If you live in the same building as a mass murdering, child abusing (terrorist brainwashing) neighborhood oppressing terrorist, who will kill many people and enslave many others, then too bad.
If collateral damage is so impossible for you to understand, perhaps we could have a Vulcan explain it to you.
I dont know. For one thing they might not be aware of who lives in their building. And if they are they might not be able to do anything about it. Generally I am all for surgically removing the bad guys without boots on the ground, but we still need to be civilized about it if possible.

How is the US not civilized about it? It's not like it carpet bombs a block or two. It sends precision ordinance that costs millions to ensure that collateral damage is minimized.
This is very true. And that's fine. But don't just ignore that collateral damage and say they deserved it in order to make yourself feel better about it. Most of those civilian casualties do not deserve it. You can say that aloud and still support the drone strikes. Try it:
"Most of the civilian casualties of drone strikes do not deserve it, but the positive effect of the drone strikes on American interests is still larger than the negative effect and they should continue." It's not hard.
Do you not understand what collateral damage means?
Do you think collateral damage is people that deserved it?
It seems that the problem here is your misunderstanding of collateral damage.
The term, in itself, says they did not deserve it. When you've mastered the basic vocabulary of this subject, perhaps you can move forward with discussions.
Drone strikes killing more civilians than U.S. admits, human rights groups say - The Washington Post
"Two influential human rights groups say they have freshly documented dozens of civilian deaths in U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen, contradicting assertions by the Obama administration that such casualties are rare.
In Yemen, Human Rights Watch investigated six selected airstrikes since 2009 and concluded that at least 57 of the 82 people killed were civilians, including a pregnant woman and three children who perished in a September 2012 attack. "
Is it time to stop the drone attacks?
lol no i r dum
Do you think that using the phrase "too bad" in this context is anything but condescending at best, sarcastic at worst:
"If you live in the same building as a mass murdering, child abusing (terrorist brainwashing) neighborhood oppressing terrorist, who will kill many people and enslave many others, then too bad."
It seems the problem here is your misunderstanding how people use the phrase "too bad". You don't understand it? That's too bad.
Wow, that's ironic. lol
You don't get it? That's too bad, eco.
"You're a janitor in the World Trade Center, the de facto global headquarters for economic imperialism? That's too bad," said the Salafi extremist.
That doesn't convey an actual sense of acknowledgement of (relative) innocence, it conveys a sense that the speaker just doesn't care. The difference is significant. When you've mastered the basic vocabulary of the subject, perhaps you can move forward with this discussion.
That's too bad.
lol exactly. Next time pick your words better, since, ya know, that's the means of conveying ideas in this medium.
Next time

Get to work and find your own answers, I don't work for you.
Stop. Try again better or don't bother at all.
When that day comes, Just don't hang around with those who the drones are attacking. And don't live in the same town. And don't eat in the same restaurant. And don't shop in the same mall. Don't drive on the same road either
That was your solution wasn't it?
