I'm sorry, are you saying it doesn't constitute carpet bombing or are you saying that it was justified by the results or have I completely misunderstood you?

[Lord Shonus]

I'm sorry, are you saying it doesn't constitute carpet bombing or are you saying that it was justified by the results or have I completely misunderstood you?

I think you've misunderstood me - I'm saying that it wasn't proof of carpet bombing as a deliberate "this is what we want to do, because we don't care how many people we kill" policy, but as a "we're so weak that literally have no other way to contribute to this decisive campaign." With the rare exception of "Killing you would be trivial, but I don't want to kill you and you don't want to die, so please give up" attacks made from a position of literally insurmountable military advantage, terror for terror's sake is a weapon of weakness, not strength.

How would y'all feel about having a World War II thread? You could name-drop Hitler repeatedly and it would be totally appropriate for the topic, unless, of course, you were comparing FDR to Hitler or something. Wait, don't say it. I know what you're thinking.

"At one point in his lengthy speech, [Carson] explained how “frontal lobes” in brains won’t be used if people listen to political pundits."

...what?

[WealthyRadish]

The frontal lobe is often associated with decision making. Carson's probably looks like a tofu burger if you left it marinating overnight in a jar of cannabis and diesel fuel, but the dude is still a neurosurgeon.

[RedKing]

That's not the first time he's invoked frontal lobes. He said something back in November about knowing that barring Syrian refugees was a good idea because he had "big frontal lobes".

My doctor's professional opinion seems to be that high-value surgeons of that nature are effectively required to be egotistical to the point of narcissism in order to have the self-confidence required for their job. Do with that what you will.

[smjjames]

It's been suggested before that Carson is delusional or is otherwise 'not quite all there'.

[mainiac]

Didn't we know he was a narcissist already from the jesus paintings?

[smjjames]

What jesus paintings? Also, religious =/= narcississisisic (too many s's, blar)

I can understand needing a place to put all his awards and stuff, but still, yeesh.
