WTF is with this creepy image anyway. Looks like a low res texture on a low polygon model from a 3D game in the mid 90s. His features are fucking painted on featureless flesh. D:

Because the older you get the more you realize that there is nothing special about human life.

That be ass backwards. I'm sure there are people who feel this way but most people feel life is MORE precious the older they get not less. Course if you're (I don't mean "you" here) close minded and or don't have any experience with people outside you own back yard for 40+ years I can sort of see why they may start to feel that way.

Actually my comment was meant to be a bit sarcastic but also with a grain of truth. The older you get the more your own life and that of your families is precious not some strangers a half a world away. Think about it a second, what's more important, your families life and well being or your neighbors? I know the answer and that's just the guy next door that you see everyday not some stranger in a different country.

As far as the OP original question, it's just an expression more common to the older folks than the younger folks.

Sometimes innocents have to die. Collateral damage.

With that said, I haven't really thought about my stance on nuking the middle east. Without putting any thought into it I think "sure, why not?". I'd prefer some magical way of eliminating all religion in the world instead, though :p

Aren't you in your late 20's and still living at home? Or do I have the wrong person?
