War crimes? Really?

>These marines are heathens and act as heathens act-no more and no less.

That's the snottiest post I have read in a long time.

 

Last time I checked, "denial" meant denying something happened; "excuse" meant a justification or explanation for something that happened. The two are not considered synonyms for each other. One denies it happened; the other acknowledges it happened and explains/justifies it. Basic english grammar.

 

My friend. Please do not take me out of context. Perhaps you should ask me to be clearer rather than jump to your own conclusions.

This was a response to:

Alluding to the fact that americans soldiers act or should act better than their enemy in war time. We are all men and still sinners (no more and no less). It shouldn't come as no surprise when heathens on both sides commit such acts.

 

And you want a standing ovation for that!?

 

Standard English language is your excuse is a denial.

 

Seriously?

 

I think your understanding of hate is a little skewed. Stand all you want as I am sure it will puff him up even more.

To me, the post read as if you were saying that non-Christians were less civilized because they were not Christians. If that was not the intent then I miss read it.

WE signed the Geneva Convention as did Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.

My friend that is your interpretation.

We are all human and still sinners. We all succumb to the same stress, frustration and anger (no more and no less) more so during a war-seeing friends die etc...

Imo if you want to accuse these men of a wrong doing; I have no quarrel, but to demonize them (I didn't say you were) as the world is doing is illogical. It shouldn't come as no surprise when heathens on both sides commit such acts

What standard are they held by? The Geneva convention? In WW2 both sides were dropping bombs on civilians

 

Can't share what he doesn't have.

 

Are you saying that he doesn't have a right to an opinion or to express said opinion unless he has military service? Just want to get it on record.

 

He doesn't have the right to express the opinions he's expressed, when they've been shown to be incorrect by multiple others.

 

I am sorry but in this country you have the right to be as wrong as you want as loudly as you want.

 

You're correct; poor choice of words on my part, and thanks for pointing that out.

To answer J.D. - when one expresses an opinion as fact, but is subsequently shown by others that his/her opinion is incorrect and not factual; yet he/she continues to espouse that opinion as fact...as mandy pointed out, they have the right to loudly proclaim their ignorance as much as they want. And we would normally treat this as we're instructed in Proverbs 26:4.

The rest of us have a duty and obligation to ensure that everyone else hears the truth of the matter, and aren't hoodwinked by uninformed opinion loudly proclaimed as fact. And this would be in line with the instruction in Proverbs 26:5.

 

I see. :godisgood:

 

Nothing has been forgotten. I am busy erecting a statue in your image to be worshiped. I will let you know when it is finished so you can come and bow down also.
