Weapons are instruments of evil, not the instruments of a good ruler. When he uses them unavoidably, he regards calm restraint as the best principle. Even when he is victorious, he does not regard it as praiseworthy, For to praise victory is to delight in the slaughter of men. -Lao Tzu
Thought it fitting in this thread as well.

bullshit... it's about oil, it's about natural gas, it's about yadda yadda yadda yackity schmackity
where's my cheap petrol, how much iraqi oil is shipped to the US, how much was shipped here prior to the invasion, how much of this caspian gas are we getting, how much were we getting before. the taliban signed a deal to allow a pipeline through the nation which would have pumped around $4bn/yr into their economy yet we still launched a war against Afghanistan. The Taliban was even jumping through the US hoops to become the recognized government in afghanistan

hey now, let's not start defending capitalism here
your witch-hunt like rhetoric against anyone who criticizes corporations seems to be almost a knee jerk reaction, perhaps even fear based. why do we need corporations to rule the world? profit based solutions aren't solvent until sustainability becomes profitable, which it won't if the main goal in mind is always money

The eyes of the patriot fixed through the scope The unknowing tyrant walks to the rope It's when murder is justice that martyrs are made A one-gun salute for the new independence day They'll hallow your name They'll hallow your name for your sacrifice The sins of deliverance "So let the wicked perish in the presence of God" The sins of the father atoned by the son Confessions of commitments broken A nail driven for every one (of them) It's when murder is justice that martyrs are made A one-gun salute for the new independence day They'll hallow your name They'll hallow your name for your sacrifice You are the cause, I am the effect Created in hatred, a noose for your neck The eyes of the patriot fixed through the scope The unknowing tyrant walks through the rope They'll hallow your name

heres another good one.
Now You've Got Something to Die For - Lamb of God
Now you've got something to die for Now you've got something to die for Infidel, imperial Lust for blood, a blind crusade Apocalyptic, we count the days
Bombs to set the people free, blood to feed the dollar tree Flags for coffins on the screen, oil for the machine Army of liberation, gunpoint indoctrination The fires of sedition Fulfill the prophecy
Now you've got something to die for Now you've got something to die for
Send the children to the fire, sons and daughters stack the pyre Stoke the flame of the empire, live to lie another day Face of hypocrasy, raping democracy Apocalyptic, we count the days
We'll never get out of this hole Until we've dug our own grave And drug the rest down with us The burning home of the brave Burn.
Now you've got something to die for Now you've got something to die for

Prisoner#1 said: it's simple, if you rob a bank and the cops come in and shoot at but miss you and kill an innocent bystander, you're responsible for the death of the innocent, had you not robbed that bank the cops wouldnt have been there, the death never would have happened.
Had it not been for the robber's upbringing and his situation in life, he might not have robbed the bank at all. Let's blame his parents and everyone who had a hand in making him greedy and desperate, as well as the people who helped create the gun itself! But wait, we need to trace the blame back through their lives as well. The fact that the world is a violent place is what got the innocent shot. It's really Jesus', Satan's, and the rest of the crew's fault for stuffing us in a faulty universe I guess.

Way to go you noble souls! Changing the world one hateful and often dumb rant at a time!

and what is your negativity doing to help our socio-economic-ecological problem? what is hateful about attempting to help the environment and our fellow man? what is dumb about not allowing consumption to rule our lives? what is dumb about unifying the world with strong social order?
as far as consumer abdication goes (recycling, neo-hippie green fixies aka: bullshit), that is actually exactly what is wrong with capitalism. it applies quick fix solutions to global ecological problems and inherent sustainability issues, when people feel like they are doing something good for the environment when they are actually consuming -> polluting, the system is messed up. the only way to actually cause change is by talking about it, personal agency is perhaps the only solvent way to tackle the problem, it starts from the ground up, you can't rely on the government to change the problem, it takes awareness from the people. if i can change one ignorant person's mind about that issue, that is one less apathetic consumer. we are forced to consume, we should not be. being off the grid and sustainable is not profitable, and extremely costly (why? it should not be this way). not polluting by being a bum is disengaging, won't help the cause, and causes social-ostrisization. this is the only ROA so to speak to even do anything.
