This is why America Owns

[Mr-K]

Well can YOU bomb people? I rest my case.

~Mr. K~

[TK]

No, but I could if I was a gigantic world power with more money than god and a megalomaniacal psychopath for a president. Personally I'd be much more impressed if the US would take a break from weapons and justify its obcene resource comsumption rate by helping somebody out for once instead of chucking explosives at them.

[Josh]

Yes... lets hug all the terrorists instead of killing them.

[TK]

Yeah, and let's kill the poor, starving citizens of 3rd world countries instead of hugging them.

[Josh]

Fine with me.

Kill everyone.

[TK]

That's fine if you don't mind being killed yourself.

[Josh]

Nah. I'd much prefer it if other people died.

[TK]

Exactly what I thought you'd say. You wouldn't, though, if you lived in Iraq and got thirty cents a day to assemble shoes.

That kind of attitude is exactly the same as racism.

But I don't... so why should I give a fuck?

Nope. It isn't.

Think about it for a second.

Racism: People were born a different color than me, so they are not equal to me.

Your attitude: People were born in a different situation than me, so they are not equal to me.


I imagine your argument would be something like "I'm not saying they aren't equal to me, I'm just saying I don't care if they are in a bad situation." But, by doing so, you are not acknowledging their right to exist in humane conditions, which is the same thing as believing them to be unequal to you. The way you are putting it just twists it so it doesn't sound that way.
