I will use a simplified version of the quote tags to make it easier.

First, as for the whole Hitler vs Gandhi discussion, it is a silly and ridiculous scenario and has no porpouse on our current discussion. I hardly think that a raving lunatic Adolf Hitler, killing apathic Gandhis with a machine gun in such a bizarre hypotetical world has anything to do with our discussion. besides, after he travels all around the world killing people, and clone himself (as we all know, Hitler was a cloning scientist as well), and kill everyone, what was he going to do? Dance and laugh, shooting in the air?! Hitler did what he did because of other reasons. Stalin did what he did due to other reasons.


The soldiers are trying to achieve freedom not just peace.

Ric, make a choice:
A)fight and die a free man, or
B)live peacefully as a slave
which will it be? I chose A.


I didn't mention ANY of the possibilities. If there was a way people could live freely and in peace, and I belive we CAN (all we have to do is stop being such mean sons of bithces), and if to acomplish that I would have to give my my own freedom or life, but making sure the rest of the world is free and at peace, I would give up my life in a second.

If a man is not at peace, is he really free?


fine, you first. no? I didn't so. I don't know whatt the point of having humans on this earth is, but I don't believe that we are here to surrend our freedoms, rights, beliefs, and liberty to evil bullies. I think we should fight as little as we have and still maintain our freedoms and rights, and enjoy whatever little peace that comes along. Not much, but it is better than suicide or surrender.


I am still alive because I belive we can acomplish what I wish for, a peaceful and free world. If we can't, if what you guys are saying is right, and if there isn't any hopes, well, give me that gun, I'll be the first to blow my brains out.
