    If he wants to fight that bad the gov’t should send him elsewhere. I mean there are enough wars/conflicts in the world he could battle in instead of starting one in the US.

      I hear Russia is always in need of more fodder troops lately.

      But these people are ALWAYS cowards so they won’t ever fight where there’s a chance their victims would fight back.

        What do you think NIMBY means?

        I feel like we have two different meanings for it.

          Guaranteed they just plucked a woke phrase out of the ether and figured it’d do just fine.

            I knew what it meant, but the person I was responding to appeared that they didn’t. Then they replied and did know the meaning but used it wrong due to a reading comprehension fail.

          It perfectly describes what this person is doing - not caring to solve the problem, just to move it along so it’s not in their own back yard.

            Except that’s not what they were implying. They were implying that there’s already “race wars” going on in the world and if he really really wanted to fight in one, he doesn’t have to look too far.

            If I were you, I think I would have taken the loss on not knowing the meaning of NIMBY over showing that my reading compression was lacking.

            Even then, who the fuck wants a war in their neighborhood?

              Shit like this is not conducive to changing anyone’s viewpoint and just makes you sound like an asshole
