Yeah, I guess the drone operator may be considered a murderer. Of course, he was just following orders. Unfortunately, the suicide rate of drone operators just keeps going up. While I was in Iraq, if someone said, “Shoot that person,” or “Blow up that car,” I wouldn’t just do it. There has to be a threat. We don’t drive around and kill anyone who seems a little suspicious not worrying about collateral damage. You can’t separate yourself from the battlefield, do the same thing, but play by different rules.
Forget your “international law!” We have this little thing called the Constitution. We have our own law…we’re a country. The president shouldn’t have the power to kill someone. That’s the power a king has. “Off with his head,” a wicked king would say. Not much different than, “Send in a drone,” except for the collateral damage.
What if a conservative made a cartoon depicting a liberal ranting crazily about some issues, then that liberal was taken out by some sniper shot, or something like that? Wouldn’t that be a funny comic, or would it be as ridiculously violent as this one?
“Oh man, why am I forced to sit in front of my computer visiting websites that I don’t want to see after I’ve subscribed to them. I wish I could choose my own path in life, but It’s dictated by laziness and possibly random internet searches. I must live in a special kind of hell.”
I guess you’ve never read the Constitution. Quoting the Second Amendment from a google search doesn’t count. There are provisions in the Constitution for an army written before the Bill of Rights was written. That’s why they are “Amendments.” The National Guard isn’t a militia, it is a Congressionally approved state army, which is also talked about in the Constitution. A militia is made up of private citizens. We don’t have a well regulated militia today. Even the National Guard issues its weapons. The people don’t keep them. One more point. What good is a National Guard as a militia when they don’t even keep ammunition at their armories? It’s true. Obsolete equipment and no ammo. Some militia.
Video games don’t make you good at something, they just give you exposure to it. If you’ve seen the graphics on video games today, it’s very realistic. Kids who play sports games like to set up plays and carry them out. It gets them excited about real game experiences. Kids who shoot people in games learn the strategy of it, too, like where kill shots are.
