Cars will kill children. Therefore in your line of reasoning we have to ban cars. The people who flew planes into buildings or blew themselves up Tube trains had no idea who'd they'd kill. Many children are being tortured and killed in Syria. Therefore to save their lives, should the world intervene?TheMightyQuinn said:Prestwich_Blue said:So should we ban cars because they kill innocent people?TheMightyQuinn said:So, to stop innocent people being killed we have to kill innocent people? Lovely stuff.
No. I don't want to ban cars.
I just don't want to bomb children.
Last time I checked, no one was dropping cars out of planes onto hospitals or schools.
Good comeback though...
Josh Blue said:The fact that Prestwich_Blue actually bothered to think up this ridiculous scenario which in no way relates to the use of predator drones is insane, scary and pathetic all at the same time.
It is cowardice act to try and legitimise the killing of any innocent peoples.

You should be happy, it's a good opportunity to deflect the attention away from some of the disgusting and pathetic posts you have made in this thread.

It is called a different point of view. I do not agree with him but know that you will always get a better discussion if you have not basically called your opposite a ****.
Imagine if countries did that ;)
Josh is a naive and impressionable teenager (or is not far out of his teens) who doesn't appreciate the fact he lives in a democracy which allows him to state the fact he hates it and its allies. If he lived in Syria, China, had lived in Chile or Argentina in certain eras or lived in a lot of other countries and expressed the same views he would disappear, be tortured and possibly murdered. He's desperately defending the society in places like Pakistan & Afghanistan that murders women who want an education and has the death penalty for the heinous crime of apostasy.west didsblue said:You mean the fact that I debunked your first statement in the original post?Josh Blue said:west didsblue said:No he's just an idiot with no knowledge of reality

Sums up the problem here really.
It's tit for tat.
It's about choosing a side and sticking with it even if it means attempting to legitimize the mass murder of innocent human beings in the name of freedom.
It's OK to bomb them because they flew planes into America. And they think it's OK to fly planes into American because we bomb them.
All the while children die horrifically.
Congratulations, you must be very proud.

Yet the admittedly imperfect society that allows him his view is the wicked one. No doubt if he lived in one of the societies that encouraged it e would denounce his own parents if they expressed deviant views.

On this point we did have a policy of bombing places of strategic and tactical importance however the reality was that the technology of the day was about as accurate as threading a needle with a hand grenade. On average only 2/3rds of all bombers got withing 5 miles of their target and we hit at around a 1 in 10 ratio. We started to bomb in the day and were cut to pieces so we decide to bomb at night. As one US Airforce general put it (I am remembering the quote here) "We struggled to hit anything in the day so at night we were basically just dropping bombs on anything and everything"
