Mmmmmmm, pie!

Today we've learned a lot about the antiwar pacifist types. 1. They would let their children die before they'd fight. 2. Killing people by shoving them into meatgrinders is ok. 3. The deaths of tens of thousands of people do not count - you only count the ones who get killed by those who come to the aid of the first group. 4. Anyone who would defend someone else is the criminal. Let's see.... what other points did I miss..... |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I must say I cannot fathom anyone who would not do anything it took to protect their children. Anything. Just can't get that one at all. |

I realise that this isn't the point of what you were posting, but what people should realise is that not all anti-war pacifist types are the same. A Quaker who is willing to drive an ambulance through the London blitz, but refuse to join the army, would not recognize these descriptions. In fact, I would go so far as to say he would be outraged by the description, and rightfully so. Don't confuse pacifism with cowardice. |

In WWII, conscientious objectors were trained as front line medics. That separated the pacifists from the cowards very, very quickly. |
