yeah, i'm done. i can tell it's totally pointless to have an argument with you.
"anyone can start a conflict, it's harder yet to disregard it"-Jewel
I love how people can do this in debates.
I wish this worked in war. Like, if France in 1920 could have just said "You know what Germany, we don't want to fight anymore. So just pack up and get your boot off our necks."
And Germany would be all like "Ok, ok, ok. You're right. I guess I am the big asshole for starting all this. I'll apologize and I'll leave right now."
And then France could walk around feeling all smug about themselves and say things like "See, we are big enough to just let the fight go. It's harder to disregard the conflict than to continue it. Ha ha ha ha ha. Cheese and wine, etc etc."
...
OH WAIT! IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT BECAUSE FRANCE WAS GETTING THE SHIT BEAT OUT OF THEM BY GERMANY AND GERMANY WOULD SCOFF AT THEIR STUPIDITY AND CONTINUE TO POUND THEM INTO DUST.
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, SOLDIER! QUITTING DOESN'T MAKE THE ENEMY LEAVE YOU ALONE! IT JUST MAKES YOU AN EASIER TARGET. IF I HAD ROLLED OVER LIKE THAT IN 'NAM THE COMMI'S WOULD BE IN YOUR PRETTY ORANGE COUNTY HOUSE, WITH YOUR FANCY CARS AND REAL WOOD FLOORS, MAKING YOU EAT POTATOS AND RICE 3 MEALS A DAY! AND YOU'D LIKE IT BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A CHOICE!
NO MORE USC FOOTBALL FOR YOU! IT'D BE THE COMMUNIST REDS VS THE CAPITALIST PIGS AND THE REDS WOULD ALWAYS WIN!
Bah.
