Double standards

[matrixmann]

If your enemy is my enemy, you shall be my friend. If your enemy is my friend, you shall be my foe.
My friends can use the weapons they want and the methods they desire, while my foes are not even supposed to use the legal means they rightfully possess.
What my friends do is something else than my enemies do. Their atrocities are an act of self-defense, while those of my enemies are what they are - or even worse. The wars they start are not a crime, they're legetimate for every reason.
It is none of my business to interfere with their national interests, as well as what they do in their respective countries - as long as they don't try to start a fight with a better friend of mine.
If my enemies happen to do these things, they'll be declared the worst spot on the earth.
They'll be condemned, branded, sanctioned and in the end they're going to be punished.

I'm thinking of a quote right now:

Veronica: Oh man, I'd kill for a cigarette right now
Luc: You'd kill someone for a cigarette?
Veronica: No. It's an expression, a figure of speech. I wouldn't exactly kill someone for a cigarette. I'd hurt them real bad at this point, but I won't kill 'em.

As long as it's not one of thise silly goddamn clove things, I'd hold the guy for her to hit.

I can't smoke (because I lost a bet), but I am not one of those self-righteous creeps who wants everyone to stop something because I can't do it.

It was just an association. No idea why it came into my mind.
I'm getting that you "only say it that way", but you don't seriously mean it. (No would do harm to anyone who uses Organo without garlic.)

Well I'm not talking about waterboarding, for pity's sake.

Just a few months eating food prepared by someone with no sense of seasoning.

...Does it really taste that bad?

[harvey-rrit.livejournal.com]

You are, bluntly, better off smoking it under the misapprehension that it's marijuana.

[matrixmann]

So I'm guessing it really tastes bad.

It's lawn clippings.

DRY lawn clippings.

[matrixmann]

Hm, if it's just only gras, why is it used for seasoning anyway?

[harvey-rrit.livejournal.com]

Prolly cos it brings out the flavor of garlic.

[matrixmann]

I would guess garlic also manages that on his own.

Not in fine detail.

Next time you have something with garlic, dust on a little oregano. Not much.
