2189 - The time travelers from 2188 realize that their time travel is the exact same as the kind of time travel everyone else always does all the time.

No, I think you're safe, you can stay lol. I don't think anyone REALLY wants to refuel that war, especially since even Ross had to step in to contain it and it didn't end on the most positive of notes for everyone.

'twas Nagisa actually, but I digress.

'twas both... You weren't in on the PMs we all got.

Speaking of creating animated gifs which are now avatars, I created mine using SFM, and Rarity fixed it for me.

 

Your avatar's tail glitches.

It ain't just the tail. It's missing almost 3 frames, and pausing instead.

Guardians of the Galaxy

9.2/10

They better make a sequel... With pizza...

I can provide the firearms... Who gets the .22 long-barrel bolt action, and who gets the 20-gauge single shot? I'm keeping my own .40 semi-auto pistol in case it's a draw.

Preparing to eat. (just finished showering after changing a tire on my Dad's car)

Not bad...

Well, I have yet to finish the campaign since I had to spend a little while fixing my computer, but once I finish it, I'll be up for MP matches.

Excellent episode! Waiting for the final ep so I can force my family to watch all of it.

Without honor, there wouldn't have been a pause over Christmas during WWI, where German and English soldiers shared a meal and a football game...

 

Can be explained as each side viewing the other as equals (in a sense), and wanting to have a good time over continuing a horrible war, if even for a moment.

 

Without honor, soldiers would kill their superior officers for a quick promotion...

 

That has nothing to do with honor, and everything to do with soldiers scared of their superiors and retribution.

 

Without honor, the Civil War would have been far bloodier...

 

How? Because CS soldiers wouldn't respect their superior's decisions, is that what you're getting at?

Emphasizing my point that you are incapable of understanding what honor is.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that your point is that "War is necessary because without it we have no honor, honor is necessary because without it war would be so much worse". This is circular reasoning at best, and stating war is the only context in which someone can be honorable is kind of a stretch.

Who ever said that? I most certainly didn't.

Correct. If you give me anoymous sources, then I can't verify them, and therefore aren't worth my time.

So my anonymous sources aren't worth anything, but if you see one that goes to a media outlet, you'll trust it? Or if some person claiming to be a scientist makes a paper, then everything in said paper must be true?

And what am I supposed to prove to you?

That you're not just arguing to be an asshole.

The killing would come from collateral damage and possible war crimes. As for the latter statement, the "worth it value" is largely subjective. Your view on whether the deaths it would cause would be worth it or not is different from mine and others, obviously.

Ok, so you're saying that there's no possible way to avoid collateral damage, or possibly war crimes? That's a bit naive of you.

Common sense? If the US suddenly invaded it would, without any reasonable doubt, cause civilian deaths, even if purely unintentional. It would make us hated, and would more than likely be used to justify the rule of the Cuban government.

Again, you're assuming that the US invasion force would be spraying bullets all over the place, and not caring about civilian casualties. Do you truly believe there is no possibility that collateral damage could be avoided?

What she said (if I can trust you on this) is different than what you are advocating. She is saying that the people of Cuba, with US guns and money, can overthrow the regime. You're advocating for the US to invade the country wholesale, and then annex it. There's a difference.

There was more context, but I won't get into it... She essentially was asking for the USA to turn Cuba into a US territory.

Why did you bother putting up that source? I know the regime in Cuba engages in human rights abuses as casually and as callously as eating toast and stepping on ants. I don't really see any point you were trying to make.

Because you seem to think that there is no reason to be an anonymous source, or that an anonymous source can possibly be a reliable source.

Freeman's Mid

A web series focussing on the mid-section of Freeman... It even cuts off any treble or bass audio so as to be as moderate as possible.

2185 - Life, as we know it, ends.

Welcome, and don't try to start the war all over again. (the casualties were great, and we don't want to see that level of bloodshed again)

Oh gosh, this a thousand times. I've always wanted to hear a song with instruments from the middle east and far east in it alongside modern western trance or metal/rock.

I'm not positive, but I might have something like that in my library... I'll give a listen for it when I have the time.

Getting ready to take a shower, and finally not having to worry about the computer crashing. (Windows somehow managed to reset the restore point storage from 10% to 50% of the drive's space for the C: drive, and it decided to make sure there was only 8GB left on the drive, so it kept crashing because of that; I reset it down to 8% drive space)

Faceplant.

Merry 3rd day of Christmas!

The problem is, that he doesn't believe that honor even exists. He thinks it's just some gimmick, and there is no value to it.

Without honor, there wouldn't have been a pause over Christmas during WWI, where German and English soldiers shared a meal and a football game...

Without honor, soldiers would kill their superior officers for a quick promotion...

Without honor, the Civil War would have been far bloodier...

I can go into more detail if required, but it shouldn't be necessary if you look back into history with even the slightest ability to understand what honor is.

Explain.

Why? It's not like you're going to do anything except violently disagree, and then use veiled insults and requests for sources that I can't give you. (and you don't think that anonymous sources are worth anything)

I need a source other than your own word.

And I need one besides yours. Until you provide one, you're definitely not going to get one from me.

Because it would kill far more than it would be worth, and wouldn't solve the problem.

Where is your conclusive evidence that it would require excessive killing, or that it wouldn't be worth it?

You specifically stated you wanted to invade the country, which would by itself kill tens of thousands and kill any support we might have.

Again, where are you getting your conclusions from about the general populace's attitude towards the stated actions?

This comes directly from an anonymous source in the country, who is communicating with me at the risk of her freedom, and quite possibly her life: "Almost half the country would take up arms against the government if they actually had weapons available to them. You should get the USA to help us out."
