[QUOTE="newfie, post: 2773039, member: 58700"] I may be. and these discussions sometimes end up going around the barn and stray away from the original point. I''ve watched my libertarian friends and others of similar mindset I follow on twitter express their outrage over the missile barrage and state as you have that the Syrian problem is not our problem. my main counter to that is at what point is it our problem. How much death and destruction do you have to see. how many innocents do you need to see slaughtered before you decide its too much. that level of acceptance is what you have to figure out. that level of indifference is what will define you. That's not my assumption because you have to be the one that figures out how long you can decide you wont care about the worlds problems. There is much brutality in the world. Do you draw the line when they start using Sarin gas or do you need to see some nukes before you get concerned? is a hundred thousand deaths , a million , a hundred million the magic number before your disgust overwhelms your indifference? So I do agree I do not want to get drawn into another conflict and therefore when we have that discussion I am perfectly fine with making that argument and agreeing with that point. The one that bothers me as I watch others go down that path is that those same friends of like minded libertarian philosophy basically seem to be saying friend the world I don't care what happens out there because it already happens too much for me to worry about. that part does not sit well with me.
