What about Hitler’s children? Would you kill baby Hitler’s children?
Answer: It’s a trick question. Baby Hitler’s children should be put into an orphanage.
Addendum: Positive vibes to all endangered loved ones.

I do this all the time.

Thank you! And thanks to @Quicksilver for starting this thread! It’s made me feel so good!

Shit, we can’t have him feeling _too_ good. Iiandyiiii, remember that thing you did that one time? The embarrassing thing?

Personally, I take a very dim view of people who use the ploy, “I-Care-More-About-the-Troops-than-You-Do”. in an effort to gain an advantage in an argument or debate. It reminds me of how estranged/divorced couples weaponize their own children in an effort to dominate one another. I think it’s pretty clear that we all care, and we also care about all the people who are collateral damage in the war zone.

I am not planning to read the thread in question, so I might not be grasping the nuance here. But I think perhaps it’s easier on the heart to believe one’s child is in danger for a noble reason than to believe one’s child is in danger for the pointless entertainment of a heartless incompetent buffoon. One might at least want that risk to have meaning.

I actually wanted to give @iiandyiiii credit for something in _this thread_ though.
Because, leaving aside if it was worthy of a pitting or not (IMHO not), **QuickSilver** complained about @iiandyiiii not showing concern for QS’s child.
And ignoring their beef with QS, iiandyiiii _did_ take the time to show sympathy for said child.
Class.

@QuickSilver sent me a kind apology via DM and I consider any animus between us over. I still disagree with many of his opinions but have no ill will towards him and I’ll consider the Pit threads to be no longer necessary.

That’s good. I’ve been enjoying a lot of Quicksilver’s posts lately so I was sad to see you two fighting.
Carry on.

Well, now I have to Pit you for having a barcode as a name. Who do you think you are? The artist formerly known as “Prince”?

“The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a **mark on their right hands or on their foreheads** , so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.”

Are you _all_ out of your fucking minds?
I mean, I know some of you are vets, but still, the amount of deference to the US military shown on this board never ceases to amaze me.
Pitting someone because they _didn’t_ DM you some boilerplate _tots-and-pears_ bullshit statement is peak Americana. Subsequent apology or no (and would there have been any if everyone hadn’t rounded on the OP?)

People block you because you’re a whiny, sanctimonious little bitch who lives in a simplistic world and condemns everyone whose behavior doesn’t align with your simplistic understanding.
You’re like a 4th grader with a gigantic mouth. It gets annoying listening to you and I cannot blame people for blocking you. To the other 4th graders you’re a genius, to everyone else it gets old fast.

Hooray, the Pitting has resumed!

Says the guy who thinks it was a _good thing_ that Trump and Hegseth started a war with no strategy, no mission, and no plan, even after it’s tanked the US and world economy and solidified the Iranian regime’s rule and control of the Strait of Hormuz for the forseeable future.
You’re a dumbfuck. A dumbfuck warmonger who lives in the long-past. Everyone with half a brain can see that this war has been a catastrophe and made the US look like the biggest chumps in the world. We _lost the war to Iran_. No matter how much Trump/Hegseth propaganda that you swallow, these facts won’t change.
A dumb old man who refuses to adapt his thinking to present circumstances and new facts. Typical dumbfuck warmonger.
And for the record, the only poster I’m aware of who is blocking me is @Babale (another dumbfuck warmonger).

Not meaning to digress the thread, but it’s not the board, it’s just that the board tends to be America-centric and that’s just the nature of American society. Many posters here have served in the military because, again, the USA is a militaristic culture. It was a real horror during the Vietnam era when the draft was in effect. Looking in from the outside, from most other countries, it’s all pretty amazing, but not in a good way.

Of course, @iiandyiiii is barely ignored and doesn’t even make the top 50 list.
He is generally not a problem or issue, though on the pair of wars in the Middle East he has been strident. I even nominated him as a possibility for Mod when we added @ParallelLines instead. This despite being fairly left of me.
BTW: I also nominated ParallelLines.

There’s a list?!? I’m sure I speak for the Dope at large when I say… _give us this list!_

No way, but it is a canned report and a pain to use on a phone.
