Was i too hard on this Freeper type?
On another site someone wrote:

"We should not have sent any troops to Iraq. They are not worth ONE U.S. soldier's life.

I say bring our boys home now. Pull everyone out. Then NUKE 'EM . This would be quite humane, as anyone within the first 20 miles would be vaporized (or would it be atomized).
Freedom isn't free, not even for Window Lickers!!!"


I wrote: "I really hope this is a joke! If not, i suggest you go see a good doctor, or get a gun and kill yourself!"


I think i may have been too heavy handed. Was i?

1. i wouldn't worry about it
the typical freeper seems to have skin roughly 10 times thick as a rhino's.

7. Window Licker...
Slang term for "mentally challenged" children, as in they lick the windows of the short-bus as they go off to school.

Still, I didn't think what the original poster said was that mean. The man wants to nuke an entire country, for God's sakes!

4. Is THIS a Joke?
...you're worried about hurting the feelings of someone who wants to drop nuclear weapons on innocent civilians as a "humane" gesture; someone who clearly feels comfortable about it because they're not "his kind."

Look, first step should always be to calmly present a counter-argument--just on the slight chance the Freep has a frontal lobe in spite of all evidence to the contrary.

But if the Freep DOES remove himself from the gene pool, that's no loss to anyone but him.

Never knock yourself out worrying about Klansmen, Neocons, and Freeps; there will always be other people more deserving of your concern--as a direct result of their 'philosophy' and their actions.

8. I'm not worried about his/her feelings
I don't usually go around telling people to just kill themselves. I felt like i let my "lesser nature" get the better of me.

5. You should be more subtle
and humorous......give him this gun and tell him to go shoot some evil-doers.

10. treat them with subtle sarcasm
like " wow great idea" then feel lucky you don't know them personally..... when a mind is that shut down,you can't help them.

11. That would be "Wow great idea you fuckin' moron!"
I think that would be more appropriate in this situation.

12. What ever happened to...
"Love your neighbor as yourself"? I'd bet this person is yet another narrow-minded baffoon who claims to be a Christian, yet is absolutely clueless as to what Christ actually taught.

13. Nope
If that's the attitude he takes, then he needs to learn that in saying extremist things he will get negative responses.
