Leaked video showing US helicopter shooting journalists and civilians

I wouldn't expect you to understand it, either.  It is a simple concept to those that can understand, but an impossible one for those who cannot. 

As you have clearly demonstrated. I never said I didn't understand it. I just stated it's not a very deep thought. Apparently the difference between what is a deep thought and what makes a good bumper stick is hard for you to understand.

If you think that the fact that my statement "isn't very deep," you clearly didn't get it.  My statement wasn't intended to be deep, nor was it intended to rhyme, nor use all the letters of the alphabet.  Saying "it's not a very deep thought" is a non-sequitur.

Thus, you either didn't get it, or are pretending that you didn't.

What was the intent of your statement?

I think I broke grumbler.

What was the intent of your statement?

Read the statement again, trying not to move your lips, but going slowly enough that you don't miss any words:

Everyone is an immigrant in the real world, as far as I am concerned.  I think people place way too much emphasis on what people are as groups (based on things like origin) and too little on who they are as individuals.  when you consider that all people are born and all will die, that similarity drowns out any petty differences.

Now, think about what might be the intent behind a statement outlining how a person thinks about immigrants.

Could it be, just possibly, that a person intends to make a statement about immigrants?

Surely even you can figure out such a simple thing.  It isn't rocket science.

You think... poorly.

Is your point that immigrants have a lot in common with ants since they are individuals that are born and die?  If so I must respectfully disagree.  I put out poison and traps for ants but I don't think that would be ethical or effective really.

Is one similarity "a lot?"  Is that your point?

I think I broke Raz. :unsure.

I suppose what I said was just to deep for you.   Anyway, I don't want to argue with you about the merits of poisoning immigrants.  I just think it's wrong no matter what you say.  Lets just agree to disagree.

[grumbler]

It was deep in something, for sure! 

Anyway, I don't want to argue with you about the merits of poisoning immigrants. 

Okay.    Not a subject I know anything about. 

I just think it's wrong no matter what you say.

Excellent.  You have learned something, then.  Make sure you tell the doctor about it (but also delete the caveat; just concede that it is wrong without qualifying it based on what anyone else says) next time he comes, and maybe he will agree to let you out of your parents' basement for some visits to the outside world.

[Razgovory]

Woah, settle down gramps.  All this excitement is angrying up the blood!  Just calm down a bit. You had a senior moment, but everything will be okay.

I don't know about that, you seem incoherent and unable to express your thoughts clearly.  While you have many problems, which I'm always happy to list, lack of coherence has never been one of them until now.

What an odd threadjack...

  Always trying to make things about the poster, rather than the post, aren't you?

There is a phrase for that, from the latin.  Let's see if you can figure out what it is:  a_ hom___m

By all means, keep it up.  All it shows is that you are conceding you have no more arguments to make about the posts themselves any more.  The more you go off on this tangent, the more obvious it is that you have nothing to say.

Well  when you have Raz and DGullible allied, you know things are gonna get strange.
