Morality is not a conscious choice or something that can be bent. It's very hard to choose what you care about.
Hypothetical and impossible nonsense.
It is just wrong - poor kid :(

Hypothetical and impossible nonsense.
Because long ago it became a proxy war with world powers feeding weapons, money and men into the fight. The war was about Syria for a few months, now it's just about power and influence, much like many of the wars in Africa since decolonization.
Hypothetical and impossible nonsense.
From the perspective of an emotionally motivated person, yes I can see how it's perceived as nonsense.
From a rational perspective, it is the absolute truth.
A hypothetical statement that you've pulled out of thin air cannot be seen as 'absolute truth'. In fact, in this case it is most probably not true considering terrorism existed way before 9/11. It is also good enough to assume impossible that in an event such as 9/11, no one cares.
No idea what you are talking about here. Nonsense.
So I say 9/11 was used to start a war on terror and you say that's nonsense? Seriously?
So what prompted the War on Terror then? I'm pretty sure they mobilised/declared the War within a few days of 9/11. Or maybe I was too emotional to realise what is actually going on
The fact that terrorism existed before 9/11 has got nothing to do with anything. It's the fact that 9/11 was as BIG as it was is what is important to the point. No prior terrorist activities prompted such a knee jerk emotional response like Bush did with his utterly ridiculous and completely futile War on Terror.

Yes. Governments pave the way for themselves so they can carry on governing, it's nothing new. To keep themselves in business is the prime directive for any government ever.
Post 9/11, terror is always used so it looks like government is still required.
You are free to not respond.

Why do you talk like everything you are saying is some profound fact? You're theorising...badly at that. Granted, you surmise based on occurrence and truth but the conclusion is theoretical.
Your counter arguments also presumed I was taking issue with the occurrence and facts used. I wasn't, I was taking issue with your conclusions. That's why I can't be bothered to talk to you.
Wrong they had a choice.
They could have stayed and fought for something a better life maybe you know a sacrifice.
Apathetic I'm afraid. Life is seemingly full of unending moments of stupefying shock. I’d prefer to focus on what I personally can and cannot do and live my short insignificant life with love, happiness and purpose based on my own version of reality and not others. It’s ugly on the other side of those windows.

Without doubt this little fellas plight will be used to start up the liberal let em all in argument again, when it should be used to pressure the world into putting more effort into humanitarian aid in Syria.

I think people are ignorant when an image like causes such an emotional stir yet 1000s of children die everyday through equally unfair circumstances but no one says a pray for them, do they?
Wait what??
You think it's simply my theory that a government's main mission is to stay in government?

Ok then why don't you tell me what you're assuming is theoretical? instead of having poor debating skills and making me guess what you're trying to say.
You've already said it was about the "governments wanna keep governing" bit, now you're saying that's actually a fact and something else is my theory, but you don't wanna say what it is?

I was giving my opinion on his statement, I wasn't questioning yours.
I'm just saying it's "potatoe/potato" as to what I consider his statement to be vs your opinion of his statement.
A chils covered in dust raises such outrage...a child with an ak47 and a suicide vest raises barely a murmur.
It's funny how important a child is when he can be used as a stick to beat our political oponents and how worthless when they can't
