      Well given your apparent wealth of experience maybe you can help the rest of us out. How many kids is it acceptable to shoot before we’re allowed to count them?

          Well, I only asked because you seemed to have an opinion on that before. Glad to see you distancing yourself from the implications of your comment though, it really is the only palatable move once you’ve put yourself in that corner isn’t it

            The corner of acknowledging the realities warfare and governance by having been well read and traveled?

            I get it. It’s your first war. It will always feel special.

              No no no, you didn’t “acknowledge the realities of warfare and governance (governance, wtf?)”. Your position was that it’s dishonest to point out the number of children shot and killed by the IDF because they still have plenty of spare ones anyway. I honestly can’t believe I’m not even strawmaning you with this and that is a real thing that someone who’s apparently a human being genuinely thinks.

              For what it’s worth, I do remember my first war. I had no problem going out on the street and protesting the immoral actions of my own government. I certainly never told anyone not to complain about children being shot and killed. No amount of reading or travelling will make me stoop so low and you’re simply lying to yourself if you think it’s because you’re smarter than everyone else that you’re cool with the murder of children.

              You know what is a first for me though, seeing someone being such a condescending prick about others having a problem with children being shot and killed. Hopefully it’s also a last but I somehow doubt it.

                That’s you making up that I am cool with children getting murder. You are straw manning. If my argument is so bad why do you need to put up a straw man? And call me names?

                  Well you certainly don’t seem to be particularly bothered by it, let’s put it that way. And you can accuse me of strawmaning if you want but your position was that it is dishonest to point out the number of children killed because there are still lots more children that haven’t been killed yet. Feel free to correct me, honestly I would love to be wrong about that.

                  And yeah I’m going to call you a condescending prick if you are going to pretend like you are somehow more well read and travelled than some stranger you know nothing about because they disagree with you. That’s condescending prick behaviour which I will call out. If your argument is so good why is the only thing you can do in your defence pretend that you must be smarter than others?

                    You’re still misrepresenting my position, strawmanning, and resorting to insults. You want me to be as emotional and indignant about this as you, regardless of how I actually feel about it, and I’m not, and that’s got you all fired up at me. You’re probably, sincerely, a really good person. At this point you’ll forgive my condescension after two rounds of your flagrant misrepresentations and insults. You seem obviously immature or inexperienced, or both, to me, anyway. ✌️
