@CT2507 You exist because standup people willing to fight protect bitches like you who lay down and/ or run away when the fight starts. You are obviously not very bright, a guy with your IQ ought to have a low voice too!

Call it what you will so that your small mind can rest at night rat boy.

@guitarplayer4real i have a solution: stop playing the game. stop enjoy killing.

@guitarplayer4real depth!?!... there is nothing deep about wars fool. who is it that lives in la la land? u believe such cliches as honor and depth in relation to wars, cause thats what the audio visual media apparatus and hollywood movies have brainwashed u with. and fail to see that wars are simply a matter of acquisition of territory for the sake of power run by the rich bankers.

there is no enemy!!!

enemies are created. and mindless goons like u are just willing pawns in this game.

@CT2507 "wars happen because people are willing to fight"

You really do lack depth, the above statement is absurd. You forget nuts like kim jong il and idi amin, what a schmuck! And who will be there to fight when the next Hitler hits the scene in your 'magical society'? Get real and get lost, you obviously have an opinion but not a solution. You know what they say of opinions.

@CT2507 You are one of the real mental midgetswho keeps flailing around as a fish out of water trying to make sense of the world and trying to impress your values upon it and upon others who exist in it. You remain as clueless about me now as you were when this started regardless of ridiculous assessments. My makeup is simple and human, survival of the fittest. Quite the simple concept, most with any intelligence at all 'get it'.

Quit trying to look intelligent, youre alone and in bad company.

@guitarplayer4real wars happen because people are willing to fight... if there were no willing, the weapons would just rust away. u are only trying to convince yourself that u dont like killing. i dont believe it.

[CT2507]

@guitarplayer4real sure i know u. your choice of words. your agressive style reveals who u are.

let me give u an example. u just said: "I can fight, am willing to fight and trained to fight, simple"!

many men are trained and can fight. but only a few are realy willing... those who enjoy it. those who are superficial and content with being robots trained by a psychotic army aparatus.

am i the one putting these words in your mouth? no one asked u to say them. u do so cause u like it.

And if you come tread on me, threaten my family or my livlihood then you are in my way and in harms way. This is how wars happen. Political wars I can do without, obviously!

Some war cannot be avoided. If I come to threaten your livlihood, your kids, your food or your well being then you will wage war on me - dont fool yourself, diplomacy does not work with everyone.
