Yeah strife, because the russians are only using their 10's of 1000's of nukes as paperweights, they couldn't possibly kill anything with them and their missiles, some of which are more advanced than the US posseses. totally harmless.

The thing about nukes is that whoever uses them gets nuked

therefore nobody uses them

This. Thats the great irony regarding nukes. No matter how many you have, if your enemy haves 10 and you 1000, you won't dare to use a single one of yours unless you got a sure way of somehow stopping the ones your enemy throws at you.

Plus it'd be everyone else in the world not very friendly towards you.

Just to try to make it clear again, all the people arguing against the idea of there ever having been honor in war aren't actually arguing against anything.  I never said war was honorable.  I said the gun removed all pretense of honor from war.  Pretense.

Indeed it did, honor rests outside guns.

childish intentional misinterpretations


which is something that 1/6 of the earth's population does on a daily basis ooooooo fanaticism

Stop that, man.

Well, the original post I was calling out implied that chanting "Allahu akbar" was somehow a sign of fanaticism as opposed to just meaning "God is great" and being an everyday phrase is Islam

Whereas qmarx's post was pointless as all he did was mis-parse my sentence to make it look like I said something dumb, and he wasn't proving any point by it

You were the one who originally misparsed by completely ignoring the context.  Chanting "Allahu Akbar" while killing people is indeed a sign of fanaticism.

Here's some alternate character interpretation: he was saying "allahu ackbar" over and over in the same context that a westerner might say "OMG" over and over. AKA: it was part of the breakdown, rather than fanaticism.

Considering some of the fanatical stuff he said before, I doubt it.

And maybe it's proof that he was actually being mind-controlled by giant military squirrels from the Earth's core.

Either way, he's a traitor and likely to be hanged.

My condolences on your loss, of course, but you probably shouldn't spread the sort of information around. 

Strife might have something unflattering to say, and then you'll say something, and then <waves wide-open hands along side head> whoop-whoop-whoop-whoop.
