But how do you escape in your own mind the logical conclusion that if war makes us all stronger, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, that you are not promoting it? I suggest that if you fail to actively and vigorously oppose war, then you are a tacit supporter, because war is a creature that brooks no middle ground.

For instance, if the United States invades its ally Denmark, as it is currently threatening to do, where will you stand as an American (and I hope it is not lost on you the significance of this fact alone, that the United States is currently threatening an ally with aggressive military action)? Will you stand with the American judgment at Nuremberg, that waging aggressive war is a crime punishable by death, and actively oppose your own government? Or will you prefer to be informed by your observation that 'certain things become stronger during it,' take a wait-and-see attitude, and by your soft opposition function as a de facto war apologist and supporter?

The nation in which you hold citizenship is democratic, and is thus a nation in which you exercise political power. How will you then act if your fundamental observation is that war makes us all stronger? How will that observation inform your action?

I'm sorry, I'm not even sure how to respond to this. You're telling me I'm not allowed to state an observed fact because then I'd be promoting war.
That's just untrue on its face, I've no idea how to 'debate' something that's just obviously untrue.

I merely pointed out how war makes us stronger in some aspects. I'm not asking for war. Both things can be true at the same time.
If you disagree, there's not much more to say. I'm sorry I violated your speech restrictions.

Do you criticize Kelly Clarkson for her song, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, too? is she not allowed to say that? It's just ridiculous.

It's all selective outrage cloaked in righteousness, moral hypocrisy rules the day.

There's plenty to be upset about that's legitimate these days without even resorting to cloaks.
I saw the videos of the Minneapolis murder - the guy needs to be prosecuted, full stop. Her car was barely moving and during the last few shots, her car was going around the side of him anyway.
