Robot Note For the past week or so, this Israel vs. Hezbollah war thing, while sad and tragic and stupid (all at once) has also annoyed the hell out of me mainly due to the media coverage. It's tragic when innocent people get killed, but when both sides are lobbing missiles into populated areas - shit gets blown up. People die. Every day it seems that the news has stories about 'x' number of troops killed plus the additional painfully sad civilian (usually children) and then they cut to someone in the town who is screaming about the other side and what kind of people must they be if they kill children. Or babies. Or _____ .
As if our modern era has the corner on the market in killing civilians during armed conflicts. So, it's more of a media thing I suppose. It also annoys me to no end. (granted, I have done my (insignificant) part in this as well)
Dear People of the World, During a war, whether it's a sandy desert type war or a humid jungle-y war, to eliminate any undue stress and hysterics on your part, please keep in mind that the following things can die during wartime.
Average citizens Puppies Flowers Kindly old people Physically handicapped people Mentally handicapped people Babies Criminals Toddlers Religious figures The Left and the Right Homeless people Little kids on their first day of school Kittens Drug addicts Moms Dads Brothers Sisters Sons Daughters Couples about to get married Newlyweds White Americans Corrupt politicians Olive trees Teens Aunts & Uncles Pigeons Doves (regular and mourning) Monkeys Bloggers
Signed, People of the World who aren't being blown up. At least today.
