In addition to your bandwidth graphics inanity that YOU (yes, my friend, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU) impose on the rest of us, claptrap that adds nothing to a discussion, and detracts from it ... maybe it was CUTE (or should I say CUTE, CUTE, CUTE, CUTE?) back in the pre-cambrian age of your stay at free republic, but it's just insufferable inanity now ... in addition to that you show that your ability to compare small to big is impared. Let's take a lesson, okay, Chris?

Here, imagine a big ball, I mean really big, A big red, hot ball. You can imagine that, right Chris?

We call it the SUN (or if I may pound the table, the SUN, SUN SUN SUN SUN, etc.). And you need to get out more in it. I suspect it's a BEAUTIFUL day were you live. And the SUN produces a thing we call LIGHT. Light is very good for the complexion, Chris. If you make a habit of getting out in the SUN more, maybe your mom and dad will save money on your ACCUTANE prescription. Your zits will clear up.

So let's review the lesson so far ... the SUN, that's BIG. A BIG, hot, red ball. Don't stare at it, Chris. I know it's new to you, but it might hurt your eyes. Once again, the SUN is BIG.

So let's talk about SMALL. Imagine the ball in the pinball machine. You've seen them, right Chris? That's a SMALL ball.

Now which is bigger, Chris? the SUN, or a pinball? It's not hard ... I know you are unfamiliar with the SUN, but take my word it's pretty big. So which is bigger?

Try Chris, try. .

Calm down, sir.

Now, once again, wipe the spittle from the keyboard. Good. Now then, please remember that screaming is no substitute for argument, ALLCAPS do not reinforce your initial thesis (if, God's Peace, there ever was one in the beginning), and personal animus and insult do not carry a debate.

Once again, I fail to see an argument from you, save for the assorted pounding on the intellectual piano that appears to be your best efforts.

However, be of good cheer. You win a Bat boy for showing up.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Comparison of size is the topic. I don't know what nonlinear gemotry rules the land of section9 but there's no sense whatsoever of euclidian linear scale and rational size comparisons in your own statement, buried deep in the graphics and chatter of your reply:

"In the grand tradition of hitting a fly with a sledgehammer, the IDF missed its target and took out civilians."

If the IDF has any Grand Tradition it is to minimize human casualities and suffering. The man they targeted -- what was HIS Grand Tradition, eh? To kill and maim as many as possible and preferrably babes in strollers. Did you miss that in the Section9 Bizarro Universe, where small is big and big is tiny?

A terrorist is no fly. And a terrorist deserves as many sledgehammer blows to his head as possible until his cranium is bone-dust and his brains just a stain on the road.
