[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] Okay, Rob, First, you need to get a grip. Target Employee asked whether we were doing enough in Afghanistan. You said "Of course we are! We're dropping 10,000 food packs for every cruise missile!" I pointed out that wasn't a whole lot, and you got very snide. Let's assume we only want to feed one million Afghans with the food drops, okay? We've still got to fire a hundred cruise missiles a day (assuming 10,000 food packs per cruise missile). That's $60 million in cruise missiles [i]per day[/i] times the number of days we've been in Afghanistan. We've been there for what, a month and a half? Okay, so $60 million times lets say 45. That's $2,700,000,000. You believe that? Wow. That's just to feed one million Afghans. Rob, the original question wasn't "Why aren't we giving any aid to the poor Afghans?" If it was, your ranting would be logical and you'd win. The question was 'Are we doing enough?' You seem to think that because we're dropping 10,000 food packages per cruise missile, we are. But given the population of Afghanistan, its like trying to feed a hundred cats with one can of cat food. The original question also expressed Target Employee's hope that when the Taliban is gone and Bin Laden is dead or captured, that we won't just get the hell out of Afghanistan and not look back. You ignored that part. And so you believe that when the United States gave Pakistan cash to fight the Soviets, they didn't know what the money was being used for? Oh, please. Your moral quandry goes more like: [QUOTE]Fat Tony doesn't like the climate in Baltimore. So he gives First $500 and tells him 'Make Baltimore a nicer place to live.' First snickers, [i]and is aware Fat Tony doesn't like Snay and has expressed his wishes many time that Snay be killed[/i], and gives Omega the $500, and Omega goes and acts according to what HE thinks [i]Fat Tony thinks[/i] would make Baltimore a better place, buys a gun, and becomes a vigilante. By happenstance, Omega runs into Snay, Fat Tony's acquaintance [i]whom he is aware Fat Tony wants dead[/i], on the street, dislikes him, [i]and is aware Fat Tony wants him dead[/i] and whacks him [i]and Fat Tony tells him 'thank you very much'[/i].[/QUOTE] And if I've kicked your butt in this arguement where you've got to resort to not very cleverly expressing your wish I was dead ...
