Double standards

matrixmannIf 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.

(*Aren't you glad I'm not dictator? --First thing, I'd pay off all outstanding student loans. Second, I would forbid colleges and universities to take students-- of any means of pay-- unless the schools were hooked into the job market and had jobs waiting for them-- the system that such schools were first established under; the administration was answerable solely to the students, too, and that would be a condition. Third, I would legalize all drugs. Fourth, I would make the first deduction equal to half a legislator's salary and levy a flat rate on all income after deductions, all others being unchanged. Fifth, I would put all the now-idle IRS auditors to work investigating the income of people on the public payroll-- plenty of work for them there! Sixth, I would make the use of oregano without garlic punishable by imprisonment and a bland diet....)

In the cruelty aspect, don't try to beat it out of me. Success is not going to be accomplished.
There are far more horrible persons out there who try to rule a state.

Date: 9 June 2014 08:32 pm (UTC)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.
