my opinion is just that. as is yours. did I say you're opinion is wrong ?

I'll leave it there.
I honestly don't understand what you're getting at here, and this is a problem I have on NUMB a lot. This is for political discussion, people are going to disagree with you. I think I explained quite clearly why I disagree with what you said, please refute my argument if you wish to, or ignore it, but you seem to feel I've been rude to you? I wouldn't say "your opinion is wrong", I'd point out what I perceive to be the flaws in it, is that bad behaviour?

I really have no idea what the point of this whole subforum is if we aren't supposed to disagree with each other.

Polling numbers down?

Inflation soaring?

Recession looming?

Discontent within your own party?

Never fear, just kill a terrorist.

That's the problem - nobody cares if the US decide to transfer their capital punishment to foreign countries.
But they're the only ones allowed to do so, somehow...

We’re talking about a confirmed, mass murdering terrorist. Not sure how anyone could have an issue with his elimination but I suppose it takes all sorts.

Still pretty murky, though, executing someone without trial.

Terrorism is a dirty war, we’re talking about someone where there’s no confusion or ambiguity. A man who is bent on the destruction of America so yes they get to choose and execute his demise in my opinion.

Good on you Joe :clap:

Apparently the drone used an R9X missile. Doesn't explode but has a series of blades that come out just before impact :shock:

Not saying I disagree with you ,but I could imagine the fuss from Joe and certain other sections of America had we done that to Gerry Adams.
