But this is his thread.... and yes, nuclear annihilation is serious, but if you actually read the original post in full you will see he's correct about everything he says in it.
I haven't read anything else he's said on this thread, so I dunno if I agree with any of that. But the original post is spot on.
The first 7 seconds of this video is an example of why the OP is hilarious. Listen to the laughs he gets for saying he doesn't care for Hitler.
You can replace Hitler with Nuclear War, and you have the premise of this thread.
That's funny because it's an understatement that is intentionally designed to be humorous and delivered in a humorous manner. It's supposed to be a funny comment.
The original post in this thread is nothing like that. It's merely a list of true opinions that are anti-nuclear war. It's also not as obvious at all as "Hitler is bad M'kay".... and it's not simply saying that "a nuclear war would be bad m'kay"... it's a list of true opinions that are pro-peace and anti-war and pro-nuclear disarmament and anti-nuclear arms...in a world where very many people are pro-war and pro nuclear weapons, and to them it isn't obvious at all.
There are people who are pro disarmament and anti-arms and there are people who aren't. Brian lists a bunch of opinions I agree with and takes a position I agree with, in his original post. He says a bunch of true things. That's absolutely nothing like understating the fact that Hitler was a bad guy for humorous effect in front of an audience.
