One time i accidentally got into an argument about politics with an idiot on an airplane. It started out as some harmless Lincoln praising, but it turned into so much more. We were talking about the war in Afghanistan and he said "The fact that we are fighting specific people and not the country is why we are losing", I agreed but asked what we should do about it seeing as we only wanted to fight certain people. He, with a straight face mind you, replied "Nuke the fuck outta them". I was taken aback, scared for humanity. I managed to spit out "But what about the innocent people, they have families, what if the roles were reversed. Don't you think that your child would deserve to live?" He looked at me and me and said "Well the roles aren't reversed and I need to protect my family. You wouldn't understand you are only 15."
That was the day that I knew that we as a society were doomed, it saddens me thinking of the ignorance of that man.
