Could this be retribution for the drone strike that killed jihadi john and the other isis commanders? Maybe this is retribution for the destruction of the hospital in afghanistan?

the problem is IRYD hasn't figured that out

also, need link

Context: IRYD claimed mass shootings (school shootings and the like) were at a "ridiculous all time high". I posted graphs that showed this was not the case and mass shootings were actually on the decline over the past couple decades. IRYD claimed my graphs included things like gang shootings. One of my graphs had in the title "non-gang" and another had a footnote that explicitly excluded those types of events that IRYD claims the graphs included.

Probably not retribution for Jihadi John. That happened too recently and something like this would have been in planning for weeks if not months. Even if their strike date was flexible, it wouldn't be so flexible as to go on a one day notice like that.

As soon as we show up they'll put away their black flags, put on their finest civilian clothes, and lay dormant planting IED's until we leave. It's also a colossal drain on our resources that accomplishes nothing, and this reality is one of the motivations behind these terrorist attacks... trying to provoke a misguided, useless, expensive response. Just look at all the ways 9/11 has degraded our country purely due to the actions we took in the aftermath.


OR i dont know you could spend your time thinking of positive things because being kind to your neighbor is literately the only contribution any of you failures of adults can have on society.

When is all this "no boots on the ground" nonsense gonna be set aside so we can go in there and blast these evil people to oblivion? I mean Al Qaeda was bad enough but ISIS is making them look like tame.
How about we *gasp* try just leaving them alone? The US has been busy fomenting discord in the Middle East for the past 50 years. We supported the foundation of the State of Israel (because clearly the Arabs should have to take the Jews we didn't want). Our other allies in the region, the Saudis, are busy financing ISIS and bombing hospitals and weddings in Yemen (while also chairing the UN human rights committee!). Our original ally, Saddam Hussein, was busy gassing the Kurds as we cheered him on in his war with Iraq. Then we have two direct wars in Iraq, one in Afghanistan, and proxy civil wars in Libya, Egypt, and now Syria. And during this whole time the US has been making a profit selling weapons. I'm not saying the Arabs have been blameless, but I hope you can start to understand why they talk about American imperialism.

I think Japan's analysis of IRYD is probably correct. He's not really a true troll like Tiggles, who gets off on others negative feelings. He's a self-hating liberal who gets off on being slapped around.

... Wanting to keep the US military out of senseless wars isn't a positive thought?

Don't shit up the thread with your barely intelligible bickering. When Barkingturtle expresses the absurdity of what I'm saying I'm honored to have read it. You can do better.

I dunno man, I was plenty smart when you were quoting and praising me in other threads where our positions converged, but here where there's an issue we disagree on, I'm dumb? How convenient.

And I don't hate people because they disagreed with me on elf forum. I don't know, maybe I'm older than you, but I'm past the point where I'm emotionally involved in forum quest.
