"Guns don't kill people. People kill people."

Somebody whose name i forgot

Generally keeping myself out of this war mess, while not trying to justify Russia's bullshit they pull off, a lot of what PrivacyG said resonates with me.

Anyway, let me correct above quote, it is from Stan Smith, famous CIA agent and actually goes like:

"Guns don't kill people, guns defend people from other people with smaller guns."

Not making fun of the misery of war here, but given that we are in a dead-end that seemingly can only be ended in MAD or Putin getting a "friendly" helping hand from fellow Russians in "resigning" I think we should laugh as long as we still can. (As some commenter pointed out on CNN, Putin has no reverse gear, I don't see any other alternative to these two outcomes).

Also the whole fun watching corn price go up or down is gone now. When it goes up, I feel guilty because it possibly goes up because or despite people dying. If it goes down I feel ashamed that I think that is a problem while people die.

Fuck Putin for taking the fun out of wall observing.

+1WOsMerit if i didn't merit your post already.

True. But there is never a single person to blame for anything in this world.
Satoshi Nakamoto wouldn't have brought Bitcoin to life alone, too.

I recommend you watch the Adam Curtis documentary Century of the Self. It goes into this kind of stuff, it's on you tube, 4 parts, 1hour each.

The title itself is pretty revealing. Thanks for sharing.
