Terrorism? Isis? BS.

We bomb places around the world because it is profitable. Do people in other countries want to kill us? Hell yes. People and companies who are profiting from war WANT people to want to kill us. Only one of many articles detailing the reality of our apathy, greed and blood lust.

If that were the case, why isn't there continuous bombing of some places? This coalition of the willing has pretty much been loitering around while IS were beheading their citizens. It's about time something was done. There are also quite a few countries involved that don't make a lot of money from bombs such as Belgium and the Netherlands, for them it's just a financial loss. They do it do stop IS and to stop them from recruiting our citizens who might return as terrorists one day.

I do not post things here to argue with people. I learned my lesson here. There are too many who enjoy arguing, believing that arguing is somehow a display of intelligence. I post here hoping that maybe a sliver of what I post here will get someone to THINK. About something other than their own self interests. To consider the lives of other human beings, not just our own obsession with self indulgences. Not to argue and prove points

So, it's all an evil conspiracy orchestrated by the military-industrial complex?

But this bombing campaign is being done for the lives of others. And no one had anything to gain by rescueing the Yezidis yet the international community still managed to save them. I think preventing a radical "Caliphate" from establishing itself permanently is a good cause. These people are involved in ethnic cleansing, someone needs to stop them.
The Dutch parliament approved bombing IS in Iraq with an overwhelming majority, 133/150. Nine out of eleven political parties supported it, including the Social Democrats and GreenLeft who are often opposed to anything military-ish. I think opposition to IS is pretty universal, everyone hates them. With all their horrible behavior and provocations it's just a matter of time before someone takes them down.

He is not debating you at ALL!

He is just trying to decifer the opaque seeming nonsense you are saying.

Instead of copping an attitude: you oughta be grateful that he is trying to engage you at all- instead of dismissing what you say as nonsense (like most readers would).

So you have no actual intent of engaging in debate in the threads you create. That is quite the admission...

I would like to draw attention to the following:
