Spike ,'Potential'
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Agreed. The trouble with the pacifist argument is that it assumes people are, or soon will be, a lot more trustworthy and honorable than they ever will be
Umm - don't know what context the comment was made in. But there is a whole spectrum of opinion between pacificism, and the belief that the U.S. should pretty much stomp anyone it does not like.
Or to take the current case of Iraq. About 90% of those who opposed the invasion of Iraq were not pacifists.

And there are pacifists who will admit this, and yet remain pacifists, on the basis that you have to give people a chance to be trustworthy and honourable or they never will be.
deja vu to the reviewer in The Australian who did a laudatory review on Forever Knight on the day of the series finale.
Wait, they aired Forever Knight in Oz? When was this and where was I?
Also, as a non-pacifist, lot's of pacifists are quite cynical about human nature: they trust people only in small unarmed groups.
I was answering the specific question of why I wasn't a pacifist any more. As I believe members of this thread can remember, I opposed the war.
Dude, that was way back in the 3rd season. There could have been some major changes in 4 years.
Not likely, however, unless there were major changes in weight and/or a baby involved. But I've read that, while saggage comes with age, a good bit of one's perkage/droopage is genetic. Or, in some cases, silicone-based.

DAMN, that looks right. I have hopes.
There is a preternaturally high boobage I associate only with teenhood (thought not all teens, by a long shot), that doesn't seem to make it to the early 20s. Which is good, because it looks funny.
So sayeth I.

Hmm don't which of two posts this was in response too. The first long one on the spectrum between pacifisim and support for the war was in response to Kastos. The second on reasons for pacifism was just a slightly smart-assed (but accurate) expansion of your answer. Neither was intended to attribute any views to you other than the ones you hold. I'm sorry if the wording on either was such it could be taken that way.
