When people stop bothering the rich and useless with inconvenient truths, it obviously has improved for the better.

Oooooo….. That’s gonna leave a mark. Good one.

But honestly, this is going on already So long as it is not someone fake liberals care about, millions can die and they will still have their tea party. I think it would get worse for a time and then improve When people stop bothering the rich and useless with inconvenient truths, it obviously has improved for the better. I think that if we stay, it will continue at its current level indefinitely. The only ones trying to create endless strife and warfare are Arab terrorists and Western socialists.

some guy: I think it [the slaughter] would get worse for a time and then improve [once we surrendered as per Obama].

I guess that’s just the very special kind of ‘rationality’ and ‘ethical nature’ which makes some guy ‘human’.

Jonah Goldberg said that liberals think it will be different this time.

Yeah, and that sounds a lot like one of the main Faux [non-Classical] Liberal tactics of argument: repeat, repeat, repeat ad nauseum as though that alone will make it true – although what is repeated often starts out being even worse itself, as some kind of meaningless mantra, etc..

My favorite part is how he woofed this one off:

Me: “That’s the sticking point for me on the leaving thing. I’m not sure as a nation we have the stomach for the killings that will follow. It’ll be Darfur, but it will be our fault.”

Guy: “It’s a chance. But honestly, this is going on already – sectarian murders, ethnic cleansing, pretty much everything we’d want to stop. It’s a question of trying to guess the scale – I think it would get worse for a time and then improve.

There. Right there is why I call them ‘dirty leftists’.

“Genocide? M’eh…. Maybe a little.”

The Mind; it boggles.

Gots to go back to my original point. Jonah Goldberg said that liberals think it will be different this time.
This time, commanding the economy in pursuit of fairness won’t have a disastrous effect.
This time, setting the precedent that the government, while it can’t get into your bedroom, can get into your kitchen for your own good won’t have the effect of, you know, spreading out just a little, and, possibly, back into the bedroom.
This time, letting the bad guys do their thing won’t contribute to a horrid war, not like the Rhineland in 1936. Or Munich. See, there are always differences. Hitler had a small mustache, not a large one, and Saddaam didn’t speak German. So it will be different this time. ’cause those differences are important, and, besides, you’re a mean old poopyhead.

“well, labeling “some guy” an old troll does nothing to diminish his arguments”

No, he does that all by himself.

Nothing comparable with Western science ever emerged in any other culture. Technology – yes, science – no. Theoretical thinking is an unique property of Western tradition. Elsewhere it is a secondary, imported good, and exist only in tiny fraction of westernized elites.

well, labeling “some guy” an old troll does nothing to diminish his arguments…and “rationality…had risen only in classical Greece”? That’s a fascinating idea, and necessary I suppose for the rest of the argument to hold.
