@rarity Oh lord are they really /seriously/ using a joke slogan from freaking Team America as a real one
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 21:57:16 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark sadly, it's not at all a joke slogan in the US. It's engraved on the U.S. Korean War Veterans memorial for example
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 21:58:45 UTC from web-
@rarity Really? /REALLY/? Are you kidding me right now
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 21:59:25 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark http://pny.lv/dch God Bless America ;_;7

@rarity Ironically of course if they wrote it in latin it'd seem about 10X as classy and I'd have no issue with it
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:03:49 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark let's just speak Latin

@rarity I was nive enough at the time of 9/11 to hope that it world wake America up to its own history of atrocities, but I was too young to see that fear wins elections and sells guns. Maybe its because America has never truly lost a war and only 'withdrawn' from conflicts over seas. Maybe it needs to loose a war at home that has a true impact on the people to see what suffering the military industrial complex reeks on others.

@vcgriffin we did. it's called 1812. and the civil war.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:07:54 UTC from web-
@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual on the upside, we won the Civil War also
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:08:27 UTC from web-
@rarity we lost the civil war because we fought it in the first place
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:11:27 UTC from web-
@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual Ah the same with every civil war ever fought.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:13:06 UTC from web-
@awlditzy there's never a winner to a civil war

@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual yea but those wars were mostly against themselves, and imbelled with patriotic zeal from the first shot.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:09:29 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin that doesn't change we lost them. We also lost Vietnam and anyone who says otherwise is lying to myself
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:11:50 UTC from web-
@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual You lost against yourselves. As for Vietnam, it has been both conveniently airbrushed out from history and was a far away war which never really impacted upon the home populace.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:13:48 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin airbrushed out from history? Are you from America?
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:16:53 UTC from web -
@vcgriffin I see that you aren't. I'll let you know that at least in America Vietnam is not a forgotten war in the slightest. We still remember it very well
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:19:03 UTC from web-
@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual not from your external actions, your news networks, or your media
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:20:05 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin As someone from America I'll have you know we are very VERY aware of the Vietnam war. America thinks of Vietnam every time anything about "going to war" pops up all they talk about is "America is wary of war because of Vietnam" we remember it very well. Also speaking from a military standpoint we also talk A LOT about Vietnam
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:22:10 UTC from web-
@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual "America is wary of war because of Vietnam" anything to back that one up?
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:22:40 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin I would, but not at 3 am I don't

@vcgriffin You say that like everybody who was born on American soil is genuinely a bad person.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:10:05 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation That is neither what I said nor what I meant
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:11:00 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin You said that we needed to lose a war on the homefront. Do you know what that entails? Another country has not attacked American soil since Pearl Harbor, and I'm guessing that's primarily because Japan was nuked shortly after. A war occurring on American soil would either be a second Civil War, or the start of a third world war.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:13:59 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation exactly. because America cannot control its own imperialist ambition it will end badly. But I don't see it changing any other way any time soon. Hell my own countries economy basically survives off the Military. But at least over hear its not just the loony left who thing bombing for peace works
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:18:17 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin You know nothing of American military, do you? We've been trying to pull out of every country we've gone into for the past 6 years.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:19:25 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Pfffft. You still have troops in Germany protecting from WWII, if they haven't come home I don't think any of the others are going to be coming home nay time soon
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:21:35 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin A) So do you, and B) Germany serves as a middle ground for several other countries, primarily the ones in Asia.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:25:37 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation the ones you still want to invade? have invaded or got your fingers burnt in?
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:26:21 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin Hey, look, I know you're an anti-American conspiracy theorist whose primary goal in life is to alert everybody that America as terrible, the NSA is watching you, and that you like to brag about how many government lists you're on, but can you... NOT, be that? I feel like you would get along with people much better.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:28:27 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Coming from you? Just because you disagree with his world view doesn't mean you can just contain it.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:33:37 UTC from web-
@scoot That was a low blow. I know I'm an unlikable person, I know that a lot of people here, yourself included, hate me, I know that I'm wrong most of the time, and I know that I can't contain his world views. Just giving him a bit of -friendly- advice.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:39:02 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Your "friendly" advice was "Stop being interesting in things you're interested in because I don't like it". Gotcha.

@redenchilada How else was I supposed to read that notice? Enlighten me. It looks like he's saying vcgriffin has to stop being himself because some users don't like it.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:44:29 UTC from web-
@scoot You're picking fights with him, Scoot.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:45:19 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I am actually just tired of vcgriffin getting this response every time he says anything.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:46:03 UTC from web-
@scoot This is the first time I've seen something like that said toward him.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:48:26 UTC from web-
@redenchilada This is about the 3rd or 4th time I've seen it.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:48:39 UTC from web-
@scoot Has he complained about it before? If he has then okay, ignore me, but if not then the white knighting is kind of annoying.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:51:07 UTC from web-
@redenchilada http://pny.lv/dcp and yes he has, he literally left the site on account of it in the past. You clearly lack the relevant information to prove I'm making a fuss out of nothing, I suggest you stop trying to prove me wrong at every turn.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:53:03 UTC from web-
@scoot Fine, then. Nice to see you still have no respect for any points I might be trying to make, anyway
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:54:12 UTC from web -
@scoot Its ok. I may have overreacted that time. Its in the past now anyway. I try and only post when I think it will be safe though ...
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:56:02 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin Sorry for bringing that up, it's fine. The fact that you feel the need to wait for safe moments to talk on RDN speaks volumes I think.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:57:26 UTC from web-
@scoot Its ok. Appreciated. Though it seems you get more grief trying to stick up for people than the initial topic ever does. Feel bad about that myself.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:59:43 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin Nah it's fine, 90% of everything I say seems controversial to some degree. I've just gotten used to it. Don't worry about me :)

@vcgriffin I think I can manage without either, but yeah I guess that's why I empathise with your issue talking on RDN so much.

@scoot its fine, honest. I'll find some safe debating ground at some point. I'ts not like its going to be like last time, I actually have work to keep me busy, I just try and pipe up when I get a chance.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:49:23 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin I know but it's frustrating that people just block you out and demand you stop voicing your opinion when it's just as valid as any other.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:50:04 UTC from web-
@scoot yea I know, but in the old fault analysis. the only thing I can do is change. Maybe I will learn at some stage.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:51:32 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin Has someone been reading Harry Potter fanfiction again?
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:52:18 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark I thought I nicked that off you. I have too Much fallout equestria to read. (but the HP thing is on the list, somewhere)
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:54:18 UTC from web-

@mrmattimation Theres verry few things RDN will engage people on and not go into total meltdown. I don't have artistic creative ability, or programming prowess. I kinda just have my fire-breathing left wing anorak and a stack of leaked and ignored historical evidence. I go with what I can use.

@vcgriffin On top of this, we have very minimal troops in Germany. Most of them have left. The ones still there are there because of NATO.
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:26:30 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation ah Nato, protecting us all from the commies behind the Berlin wall. Wait? what?
Thursday, 23-Jan-14 22:27:26 UTC from web-
@vcgriffin it'd serve to protect small countries against Russia if it could get off it's arse.
