A Conversation
I got into a conversation today with someone who opposed the invasion of Iraq. Not surprisingly, we got nowhere arguing back and forth about that. So instead, I tried to just understand his general political worldview. Here is the conversation we had. It's pretty interesting. A bit to wade through, but worthwhile, in my opinion.
UPDATE: If you need a little incentive, here are some quotes:
mungojelly (5:28:00 PM): at some point i would want the US's nuclear arsenal put in control of an international body
...
MachCU (6:14:12 PM): [Kim Jong Il] represses political dissent
mungojelly (6:14:30 PM): well of course he represses dissent
mungojelly (6:14:39 PM): communism is a different perspective on these things
MachCU (6:15:33 PM): You think it's okay for communist countries to repress dissent?
mungojelly (6:15:33 PM): he just has nukes because he wants to maintain independence, right? i mean what did he say about them?
mungojelly (6:15:43 PM): what's ok? like morally ok?
MachCU (6:15:48 PM): yeah
mungojelly (6:15:53 PM): i don't think it seems to work so well, as far as their aims
mungojelly (6:16:04 PM): but you have to understand that they're working within that ideology
MachCU (6:16:33 PM): Well I mean, do you want them to stop?
mungojelly (6:16:56 PM): i suppose
