    I wonder if they think you’re a supporter of terrorism. I think they might.

    Yeah so you don't understand the difference between the US and terrorists. Got it.

    I think depending on where you’re from your opinion might change.

    And just what do you think “Kharma” is going to do to those who mock and ridicule the deaths of innocents? I’d hate to be in your shoes. (And these hypocrites call themselves “Western political humanists”)

    I have not seen anyone "mock and ridicule" the deaths of innocents. On the other hand I have seen many here mock and ridicule the WH whilst calling for the death of Trump.

    Perhaps we use different reading glasses.

    There is true evil in this world whether you're willing to admit it or not. Soleimani is a chief perpetrator of this evil. This bloody bastard was pure evil and you should condemn not make excuses for the dead he's left in his wake.

    What bothers me the most are those who will elevate Soleimani to 'hero' status just so that they can hate more on Trump and for no other reason.

    That in itself is evil.

    They're not innocents, which is why Kharma struck them down at the funeral of their beloved mass murderer.

    Tell me, Goomba, how many of your own people do you think Soleimani is responsible for killing? Right off the bat I can think of one assassination he was implicated in:

    Er, or maybe they just died because of a stampede? Then again, I don’t believe in kharma, so whatever you guys utilize to better understand the universe is fine by me....

    I’m not sure how many human lives have been lost because of Persian and Western attempts to dominate the Middle East. I just find it ironic that self-proclaimed “civilized” people will gloat over the deaths of people who were simply mourning, whether you support who they were mourning or not.

    You guys love to quote Locke and Rousseau, but when no one’s looking, your inner Germanic barbarian rises to the surface.

    The point is that in their support of terrorism and their support of Soeimani "they" have no credibility and no moral high ground to judge anyone. So in essence, who cares what they think of Americans. You have to consider the source. It's sort of like how it has reached the point where if extreme leftie Trump haters are going crazy about something being bad there's sort of a knee-jerk reaction to assume what they're complaining about must actually be a good thing. Again ---- consider the source. Does that help you better understand? I don't care what a bunch of Soleimani/terrorist supporting Iranians think about America any more than I care what a bunch of extreme leftie Trump haters think.

    So your only "contribution" to the topic is insulting people that you disagree with politically?

    "extreme lefty Trump haters"?:smh:

    Got it.:bored:

    Anyway, As to the OP and the civilian casualties at the General's Funeral, just More Loss of Innocent Life as a result of Trump's Impulsive Actions.

    You don’t have to further explain your point. You’ve made it very clear that your world view is the only one that matters to you. I understand clearly.
    There are more life experiences than your own though, and those experiences inform people’s views. I get that you likely understand that. I also get that you don’t care.

    You're still not getting it, actually. It's not just a matter of "different people having different views" :roll: It's about how some people prove themselves and their views to not be worthy of respectful consideration. Like how I wouldn't take parenting advice from a child molester, and I wouldn't take spiritual advice from a serial killer. All views are not equal, so feigning moral outrage is a waste of time. You pretend all peoples' views are equal ---- I say they are not. If you cannot think of even one person whose view you would not consider equally, than that's kind of scary. If you can think of even one person, then you'll have a light bulb moment where you'll see my point, because if you can admit to one person, you've opened the door to there being more than one person.

    You point to societal aberrations as examples in your post. I’m not sure if you truly believe them to be relevant to the views of an entire society or if you’re intentionally being dishonest. Of course I do not see the acts or views of individuals who intentionally deviate from societal norms with the intent of doing harm as being equal to the common citizenry. Their views are not informed by the life experiences that come with their group’s experience. They reject it.
    What I have been talking about is the citizenry. The non-military combatants. Innocent civilians. People who saw a well like Vice President-Joint Chief of Staff killed in, what they view to be, a terrorist attack by an occupying force.
    Maybe you’re understanding less than I thought you did.

    You seem to be beginning to understand. Finally maybe we can put the holier-than-thou nonsense to rest :hug:

    Someone who supports an anti-American terrorist like Soleimani is not just a regular Joe innocent civilian.
    Now maybe we can finally quit :deadhorse:

    :bye:

    I’m not sure you took the meaning of the post, but if you’re done with the topic I will call it good.

    We Germanic barbarians don't always use the term "kharma" in the Hindu/Buddhist sense, Goomba. In the colloquial sense we use it to describe people getting what they deserve or had coming, such as people showing up at a funeral to mourn the death of a mass murderer and then getting a piece of what he meted out to his victims - death.

    Perhaps, "ironic" would be a better term, or perhaps something that the connoisseurs of black humor would find more appropriate, but rest assured I'm not asserting or implying that cosmic forces were at work here.

    Fair enough, but I didn't ask you how many lives have been lost because of Persian, Western or even Arab attempts to dominate the Middle East. I asked you how many of your countrymen were killed by Qassem Soleimani, i.e., the individual those people were mourning. Perhaps that would explain why self-proclaimed “civilized” people would gloat over the deaths of people who were doing more than simply mourning the death of a mass murderer.

    I'll contemplate that the next time I see one of you guys separating someone's head from their body.

    If the Middle East were a ton of sand on an endless strata of sandstone, we might have been invited guests to attend the annual camel races world series by now. However it didn't quite work out that way. Now we have reached a stage in our humanistic state of morality (we don't need your friggen oil anymore) perhaps it might be appropriate to step back a little from the region. As a moment of Christian charity to our Muslim brothers doncha' know. I mean, after all, we are the good guys.
