If you believe that war is the answer,

You are 100% right. If its something you're not willing to fight over, why support it?.. anything else and you are just a tool being used.

Do you support abortion? If so, you'd better be prepared and willing to go in with a scalpel or some saline solution and go to town. I mean, if you support it, you should be required to actively participate in it, right?

Of course because we all know war and abortion go hand in hand.

Yes, my argument is about as tired as the orignal posters is.

YAWN right back at you.

Dumb how? In either scenario, you support killing. So, without there being a double standard, you'd better be willing to do the killing yourself......

I support a woman's right to do what's best for her health.

I don't support a coward's right to be cowardly.

This is the dumbest thing that I have read on here in a long time. You can believe in someone's right to choose to abort a baby without aborting one yourself. I don't believe in aborting babies, but who the fuck am I to say that you can't abort one if you so choose? With a war, you can only support it if you are willing to lay your life (or your child's life) on the line for said cause.

I think he was responding to this line in the original post.

I say if you truely believe in something you better be able to personally, physically and mentally be able to back it up.

This is a dumb argument. What about stem cell research? By his reasoning you can only support it if you have the mental ability to do stem cell research and the equipment(physically able).

As far as war it is still a stupid argument.
What about disabled people or people too old to serve in war, are they not allowed to support it?

Hey!!! An intelligent person in this thread!!!


And yes, that was the line I was responding to.



And to que, some people would consider killing an innocent baby in the womb, after YOU made the decision to have irresponsible sex a cowardly thing to do. Just an FYI, not every abortion is made to save the mothers life. Not every abortion is done with HER health in mind.

But this isnt an abortion thread. But its a "put your money where your mouth is" thread.

That standard should apply to all actions, not just the ones you want to pick and choose.

I'm not sure that if someone says he believes that war is justified, but wants someone else to do the battle for him, is necessarily a coward. I think he is disilluioned. Brainwashed into thinking that this is how a real man should act. But when it really comes down to it, he doesn't want any part of it. So maybe the belief is really not there and maybe he is too immature to admit it. I hope that is how it is with my son anyway.

Personally, I tried to join the marines when I was 20. I was passed by. Im no coward, nor am I disillusioned in my beliefs. It wasnt about what a "real man" would do. It was about what THIS man would do. Im no coward, simply didnt qualify. But unlike many here, I realise I can only speak for myself. I don't proclaim to have the right nor ability to assume I can speak for others.
