Dr_Flash_Amazing

Please tell us you don't believe this ...

Hey, the Canuck's right!

BROS BEFORE BOMBS!

Could be, could be, although Puget doesn't cite enough sources. Still, it could just be a ploy by the sinister Goat to throw us off his trail. Clever bastard ...

Oh, well, if that's what you're looking for, you've found it in the wrong place and you'd better look elsewhere, buster. BEER NOT BOMBS!

Puget, you're the only one who still cares about nitpicking this miniscule point into oblivion, so you'll forgive DFA for not diving in and chasing you as you chase your tail around in circles. Here's to a new hobby, cowboy:

Cracked, while your hubris in interpreting Dr. Flash Amazing's "true" message is admirable, you unfortunately don't know what you're talking about. Additionally, your recent move to wear a DFA-sized ego is somewhat akin to a kid wearing his dad's shoes; i.e. you might feel pretty important, but the impression from the outside is rather comical at best. Stick to making the occasional tangential quip and meek interjection, and leave the grandiose pronouncements, accusations, and self-righteous name-calling to the experts. Adieu, petit grimpeur.

It's "...what you TELL me", FYI.

Oh, OK, you're right. You know what DFA was saying and what he meant by what he said. Good call. Why don't we just let you speak for the Doctor from now on so we can avoid any more confusion about what Dr. Flash Amazing is really saying when he says what he says.

Trask, admit it. You've never been so hopelessly, heart-poundingly, head-over-heels in mad, mad man-love as you are with DFA and Peter Puget, and it's tearing you up inside as you try to decide which one of us to buy flowers for with what's left of your paycheck after your weekly whiskey binge. Isn't that what's going on? You poor dear ...

Puget, where in the above post is Dr. Flash Amazing implicating that war supporters are insensitive assholes, please? It's a simple plea, not an indictment. There's nothing between the lines, so don't try and read there.

Dammit, Puget! OK, wait a sec' ... patience, patience, deep breath, relax ... OK ... For the second time, DFA is not putting words in anyone's mouth! If you haven't seen people talking gleefully about raining bombs on Iraq on this website, then it's understandable that you're puzzled by what DFA is saying, but it does get talked about. Obviously if you're pro-war but are also deeply concerned for casualties of any nationality, then the assertion that perhaps we should be more concerned for casualties on both sides doesn't apply, does it? The Doctor is not saying "all war supporters are assholes" or anything of the sort. If you want to go on believing that that's what DFA is saying, well, that's your prerogative, buster. To quote RobBob of late, "Sheesh!" The name-calling's not very nice, either, you meanie!

Trask, you insensitive fool! How can you post that kind of offensive garbage on this website?! NEITHER of those gentlemen's purses matches their shoes!

Sorry about that. It's just that Peter seemed so genuinely upset, and it sounded like he was going to sprout fangs and claws and tear up his office in some kind of Jeckyll/Hyde rage scenario. Pacifying force that Dr. Flash Amazing is, he had to stem that tide of out-of-control aggression and settle ol' Puget down 'fore things got ugly.

"DFA – These kind of statements make you look like an asshole. To think that most war supporters don’t give a damn about human casualties is complete goofiness and reveals contempt for others that can be construed as nothing more than vanity. For the record, all things being equal given the choice between a 19 year old American soldier (whom by the way you believe is a murderer) and equally innocent Iraqi, I would pick the American to live. I would of course be open to your detailed discussion on the relative innocence of an American soldier compared to an Iraqi newborn, aged woman, teenager or whomever. As in our previous discussion after the sloganeering ends I am sure your thought process will prove to be empty." Jeez, Puget, something seems to have gotten under your skin (great Sinatra material there). You've made a misinterpretation or two which perhaps contributes to your currently lathered state. First on the docket, the plea for consideration of the lives of the citizens in the country our president is targeting. Numerous people in favor of war both on this site and elsewhere make big talk about smoking "ragheads" and laying waste to those "camel jockeys" over there, etc., but would throw a grand wobbler should any American blood be spilled. Dr. Flash Amazing is just raising the question of whether we are not all people who deserve to live, regardless of whose flag is flying over our heads. It's a really out-there bleeding-heart liberal lefty communist concept, Lord knows. DFA did not insert any bloodthirsty words into any hawkish people's mouths, but rather posted a reflexive plea as a result of said words issuing from said mouths. And this murder business ... way back when, as the Doctor remembers, his position was that war was murder from the standpoint that beaucoup lives were wasted, and conceded that where the line was drawn as far as who was responsible was difficult to say. Not, as you say, that "soldiers are murderers." However, by your own criteria, for putting those words in DFA's mouth it looks like you are the one looking like an asshole. Oops. Ta ta, Dr. Flash "enough with the violence, already" Amazing

Trask, you'll say anything to get in Dr. Flash Amazing's pants, won't you?

There isn't and off-width. Is there?

Excellent!

With Trask, "you're stupid" is about as good as you're going to get. Unless he pulls out all the stops with a reference to meat whistles, bestiality, or Hooters girls.

Look, folks, the original post was intended to get the resident cc.com hawks to think about casualties on both sides of the fence. Seems that American lives are generally extremely precious to war supporters, while those of the "enemy" are generally thought little of, if they're thought of at all. And hey, if leaflets from the sky will save lives, DFA is all for more leafleting.

Ah, a fellow Nobel Laureate, are you? 'Cause it seems like a lot of people here couldn't be bothered to give a squirt of piss for all the faceless targets cowering in their Baghdad basements, praying to God or Allah or whoever that they don't wind up with a lapful of cluster bombs.
