US forces bomb another hospital

I was with you up until you used enemy combatants receiving treatment at the hospital as a reason to blow it up.

That's never a reason to blow up a hospital! If the Taliban were just being treated at a hospital, no problem! As I said, the US treats the enemy at our hospitals all the time. That said we don't allow them to use our hospitals as a command center.

I didn't say that at all. In fact, I said the opposite of that. The reason I called you a hippie is that not only did you have nothing to offer in way of a solution to this particular problem (which would be understandable, as most people wouldn't), but you flat out stated that you didn't care. This gives the impression that it's more a matter of you being opposed to any kind of military action for any reason than simply being appalled at this particular action.

My antipathy to the goals of the US military is well known. I don't care how or if they achieve their military goals. I do care that they massacre innocent people in pursuing said goals and I reject the notion that adherence to the Geneva Convention should be secondary to their achievement. If I misread you then apologies - however there are other lowlifes including @Dayton3 and @oldfella1962 who do hold that view.

If the U.S. achieves its military objectives in the world as decisively as possible, it is better for everyone. Americans and foreign hostiles alike.

When you say otherwise you are insulting the United States.

Spoken like a genuine totalitarian. Go fuck yourself with a razor blade.

Well, then I misunderstood you.

Will a comment like that keep the U.S. from bombing any target it sees fit in the future?

You gained nothing by making such a comment. Why bother making it?

Why bother posting on Wordforge at all? You're a fascist cunt - you need to be called on it when you say fascist cunt things.

Dayton...

Hey look Rick. Guess who is sucking up to you now.

As for you Chardman, your rapier sharp wit wounds me.

Ouchie............

Wasn't meant to be witty, but as a legitimate suggestion. Kill yourself. For Jesus, if it makes it any easier. Just do it. Soon.

I feel slighted. I'm not just a lowlife, but a life-long lowlife! I only wish you lived here in the US so you could pay your taxes which rewards my unrepentant low-life.....lifestyle until I'm worm dirt!

You don't believe in Jesus. So your using a reference to him is both foolish and intellectually bankrupt.

Try reading a book someday.........

Which is completely irrational. So like I said, you're a hippie.

I don't think they should have fired on the hospital. I don't know how much clearer I can make that. But I don't think the Taliban or any other such force can be allowed to continue to use hospitals or other protected sites as a shield for their operations, and I'm genuinely curious what people think should be done to remedy it.

You may not agree with me but how the fuck is it irrational to oppose US domination of Asia?

Why do you oppose US domination of Asia? Do you think Asia is better off dominated by Russia? Or China? Or some other combination thereof?

And don't make that ridiculous claim that "no one should dominate Asia". Nature abhors a vacuum. Especially a power vacuum. If you have a single firing neuron in your brain you know that someone will dominate Asia one way or the other.

I am in favour of the quaint concept of national sovereignty, according to which people run their own countries, "ridiculous" though your totalitarian brain may find it.

Liar.

I can assure you, I likely read more books in the average week, than you do in the span of several years.

Now that is complete BS.

And if the interests of the United States extends into other nations and whole regions? Don't we have a right to protect those interests?

No, since your definition of "interests" is absurdly broad and includes restricting the basic freedoms of other peoples.

What basic freedoms of other peoples have I ever advocated restricting?

You can't name them.

The Hell it is. I'm a speed-reader, and I'm disabled. I have plenty of idle time on my hands, and to fill the time, I read almost constantly.

I usually average about a book per day. More if I spend any time in the hospital.

This week, I've already read three Discworld novels I'd missed, the latest of Evanovich's "Stephanie Plumb" series, and am about halfway through with Stephen King's "The Stand". I've read it before, as originally published in 1977, but this is the "complete & uncut" version, published in 1990, which I've never gotten around to until now. It weighs in at at a whopping 1152 pages, so it'll probably fill out the rest of the week's reading by itself.

Thinking of binge-ing on Gore Vidal next week; "Myra Breckinridge", and its sequel "Myron", and maybe a couple of his historicals.

Ok Chardman. I keep forgetting that you are disabled. Some of us actually have to work for a living. Still, I'm quite happy with the 3,000 or so nonfiction books that I own (and of course have read) and the 2,000 fiction books that I own (and of course have read).

When I left Strong, I donated more than 200 of my books to the school library. It was advantageous to me as the school allowed me to have my pick of the books in the library to take for myself. I took about a dozen.

The right to be treated in a hospital without being considered a legitimate military target, for one. You even intimated that they should be appreciative of being blown up as it will be better in the long run.

Are you referring to the "rights" of the non Taliban and non terrorists to be treated in a hospital? No argument there. As for the Taliban and terrorists. They have no human rights.

To have read 5000 books, you'd need to have averaged more than 3 a week for 40 years. Nobody's buying that.

Putting aside your ironically terroristic statement about "no human rights", you were very clear earlier in the thread that you considered the hospital, despite the innocent people inside, to be a legitimate military target.
