"Those who laughed at us are raped and killed."
...is just a detached observation about probability? There's not just a touch of vengeance seeking here, just maybe?
If that's really what you're saying, then please pardon me for a second while I laugh in your face.
And this shows one of the problems with you people. You're completely blind to how offensive you can be.
Well, I happen to know Lurker personally, and have known him here on FR for well over a decade.
Seems to me that you take a lot on yourself, self appointed to call people out, laugh in their face when you do not agree with them, and categorize folks pretty indiscriminantly...but that is just my opinion.
There is nothing wrong with people preparing for the worst...it is a wise thing to do. If you are upset about some of them taking on an attitude about it...that's fine too, but it does not help that cuase when you display pretty much the same type of attitude in reverse.
My guess is that if you knew Lurker personally, you would find him, as I do, to be a very rational, patriotic, and very astute thinker and analyst...and probably agree with him 95% of the time. In addition, he is a U.S. Marine veteran, and is deserving of more respect than you are showing him, whether you knew it or not.
Just thought you should know a little more about who you are talking to. Sometimes it makes a difference when you know more about those you are insulting. In addition, I have always found that it is best to take a care to find out a little something about folks before you turn on the "attack mode," too quickly.
But again, that is just my opinion and advise...you're free to do whatever you want with it.
