It's not what you said so much as how you said it. You just sashay in, sweep your arm across the great unwashed and condemn them. That dictionary definition is duff, "Making a show of being morally superior to other people" would have been a far more accurate definition.RiskyChris said:I don't get it. This thread is full of people in the past 100 posts going "fuck them, who cares about terrorists, let's get uglier, etc."
Can you explain why you posted a dictionary definition that doesn't describe me at all, because I'm not trying to feign righteousness? I've pretty clearly described my feelings on why we should act the way the UK did.
Either way, this 'battle for hearts and minds', what if it can't be won? What if we just have to accept that we're at war and we may be required to act in a manner that we wouldn't normally?
Just so you know, I personally am against the war (on the grounds that it cannot be won). Now we're there, however, I see no merit in pussyfooting about.
Edit: I suppose the best way I can put it is that reading your post gave the illusion of a man curling his top lip into a sneer having just stumbled across a bad smell.
