Topic: Americans kill 90 (mostly children) in Afganistan

Just heard about it on the radio.
Weird that nobody says anything about these crazy acts but when other countries does something then they complain.

Americans bombed house(s) in afganistan and said there were Talibans there, but UN inspectors checked and there were no soldiers there, but most of them were children.

Nobody condemning these acts. Sigh.

Another case of not-so-smart-bombs. I hope they don't try to cover it up like they did a few times in the past. Those were a disgrace for those that died..

Re: Americans kill 90 (mostly children) in Afganistan

Not odd at all, Dragon. We're there to kill people.  The roadbuilding and the hospitals would be wasted if we didn't kill Taliban as well.  Too bad none were in that building.  Maybe next time.  Or the time after that. Or the time after that.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

The Taliban must be succeeding, they're freaking out the Americans to attack them where they usually hide but these times aren't.

Re: Americans kill 90 (mostly children) in Afganistan

TheYell... why are you killing Talibans?
You kill 90 people just like that. It's crazy. If someone would bomb a house in USA and kill 90 people, most which are children... it would be "the worst thing that ever jappened in the world" and you might even start a war cause of it. Hypocrites...

One American is worth 100,000 third worlders. So not hypocritical. Killing 90 children in Afghanistan is similar to the extermination of a bee hive.

Well, technically he is right. Although 100.000 might be a bit over the top.

Re: Americans kill 90 (mostly children) in Afganistan

technically he is not right. human life is human life. You cant compare a human life to a beehive. You are a disgrace to humanity when you say that.

also i would like some valid sources please. "the radio" doesnt cut it. And guess what? people die in war. Innocents die in any war as well. The american military has been trying their hardest to not kill any civilians but it is simply impossible to do with an insurgency that blends in to the population. So in essence it is really the talibans fault...

In georgia thousands of CIVILIANS. In basicly less than a weak. NO ONE said anything. European Union kept their mouth tight shut.  Its ok to critcize america but not to criticize russia?

Never heard of this until now; most western news agencies seem to be avoiding the story like rape.

Welcome to the politics forum where the majority of the games players (european) bash the US. Though there are many other things wrong in the world, they must bash only the US no matter if it does something for the good of everyone else or not.


Oh and I also agree that 1 American is worth atleast 100,000 3rd worlders easily.

Re: Americans kill 90 (mostly children) in Afganistan

And an European is worth 50.000, well obviously that would change if we ever were to start linking oil to the Euro. Or maybe even more as an American, considering all the tax money that's invested in citizens in most Western European states?

Personally I think they're trying to see if they're more arrogant as Americans or if the new rising superpower, the EU, has citizens like you who are more arrogant than them.
It might be a "Who's more arrogant and powerful" war.
Based on my understanding of Bible prophesies, you Europeans will surpass the Americans.
EDIT: By surpass, I was initially only referring to politically, militarily, economically, etc.

Re: Americans kill 90 (mostly children) in Afganistan

Hehe. This is why Capitalism can never work.

From an utterly economic standpoint, the life of one american citizen is probably worth the 100k thirld world people Justinian mentioned. However, the symbolic value is the same. One 1st world life = 1 third world life. As long as human beings continue to be just that, human beings, instead of robots, and act on symbolical and affective reasons instead of economical and rational ones, a system based on strict analysis can never work.

Unless you've been watching 1984 alot. But even then, it's based on repression, so the point stands.

No, it only explains why Capitalism can never accommodate morality. But it works because it gives power and is more efficient than any other means of economic power.

Re: Americans kill 90 (mostly children) in Afganistan

I don't think any system can accomodate morality. Humans are animals first of all, and therefore amoral. The moral values are imposed to you depending on the society you live in. Afghanistan's morals isn't the same as the USA's, but they are there because both countries, different as they may be, are built on social values.

Problem with capitalism is it favours the few over the many, and if unchecked it cannot hold the pressure of the many for long.

Re: Americans kill 90 (mostly children) in Afganistan

Exactly.

But Capitalism can accommodate the masses when social pressures force it to. If you have power and you want to keep it in the face of great pressure, you need to make concessions. It works.
