Do you even know what a genocide is?
Granted it's a bit of a stretch, since the west of the country isn't really a distinct religious, racial or national group, but I got the systematical destruction part right(yeah I wiki'd it )...or would you call bombarding Bneghazi from the Mediterranean warning shots?
Thanks for reminding me why i didn't like you, you seemed OK there for a while...

Considering you can't understand sarcasm, I suddenly wonder what I can possibly hope to accomplish by explaining current events and historical precedents to you.
I need to find better ways to explain the situation to willfully ignorant simps, obviously.
Psst, my friend in the CIA told me we're actually bombing Libya because Obama comes from a long line of hemp farmers. Gaddafi's really anti-drug. Remember how he said the rebels were putting hallucinogens in their nescafe? He puts people to death for smoking weed, and Obama is trying to free the stoners of Libya to smoke the finest of danks he grows in his Illinois warehouses.
That hurt my brain to type, but shit, I'm beginning to understand why conspiracy theorists have so much currency. Some people are just too fucking stupid to face reality head-on.

No warning shots here. The plan is to weaken Gaddafi's military without an invasion. Since you can't identify any distinct religious, racial, or national group being targeted, how can you possibly justify your use of the word "genocide?"

I love it, it's like last year. Rain is win.
Did it hail in your neck of the woods on Saturday, Poid? It came down like snow over here, and there was lightning and thunder. We never get that shit around here, I was overjoyed.

No but my brother in San Mateo County told me he saw some hail; I wish I saw some, I haven't seen either hail or thunder/lightning since before my balls dropped I think...
Yeah rain is pretty kick-ass, I love Bay Area weather.

We had a few years of practically no rain. Last spring and this spring have been 
Rainy days have always been my favorite... I like getting out and exercising, but I also like excuses to sit on my arse inside where it's comfy, dry, and warm.

One point I add: It Isn't the US's business to run in with Guns-A-Blazin' into every country that has this crap going on. That is what is wrong with American foreign policy. We would be better off getting control of the mexican border. Of course, legalized drugs would make a lot of the problems in Mexico vanish.

Yup, I'm sure all those cartels would be perfectly fine with the legalization of drugs.

The point is, if the shit was grown and manufactured in the US, it would put cartels out of business.

Well, this situation is happening because Libya's is immediately adjacent to Europe, and Europe contains most of our closest allies in the world. This is really Europe's war, and we're just lending a hand.
I'm a pacifist, so I feel like a dickwad advocating military action in this thread, but really, I don't want to let the trauma of Iraq and Afghanistan stop me from acknowledging the legitimacy of military action that might actually be able to make people's lives better in the long-term.

Oh, but of course I agree with you about the drug war and Mexico. It makes my head spin.

Well it's just the next best thing, how else would you call it? Mass murder just doesn't have the same ring to it...but yeah, I get your point...Doesn't it still count if it's a distinct political group?
Also I used to love rainy days, now they kinda piss me off, sun is great.

I wonder how pissed the cartels would be if drugs were legalized; I'd imagine they'd be pretty fucking pissed, and might even start killing off US citizens.

Mass murder is yet another incorrect term for what's going on, but I admire your passion.
Sunny days and rainy days both have advantages IMO.

Jesus you think so? I never thought about it that way, but I could see it... it would be game over for the cartels, and the cartels provide livelihood for people.
Shit dude.

Ugh, I hate the sun. Unless I'm at the beach or a swimming pool, then it's pretty nice.

They're already sick twisted fucks--ever seen any of those decapitation videos? I saw one months ago, and I still can't get it out of my head; I think that shit quite literally traumatized me.  
But yeah, if they're cutting people's heads off with dull knives today, while drugs are illegal, imagine what they're gonna do if their main source of wealth vanishes?
Ever seen an apeshit Mexican? Trust me, you don't want to.

I've never seen any of those videos, no. I'm a bit too chicken-shit. I just don't want to see something like that.
We live in a fucked-up world.
