#7 "demonstrates again a lack of nuance, sophistication, and appreciation for the complexity of the situation

Translation: Dave is telling me I am a clueless, flyover SOB.

At least he's being honest about his feelings. I like that in a man.

#8 We pay to build their infrastructure up, they tear it down to build rockets and try to destroy Israel. Rinse and repeat. Been doing this for what, 30-40 years now? Time to end the charade. Let them either rise or fall on their own.

So go fuck yourself Dave.

#10 ...a lack of nuance, sophistication, and appreciation for the complexity...

Did someone clone John Forbes Kerry? This seems to be a standard claptrap justification for doing leftist things.

#11 If we don't pay them, they'll seethe, riot every Friday, send incendiaries and rockets and tunnel like mole rats!

Oh...wait

#13 >a lack of nuance, sophistication, and appreciation for the complexity

I always find the best and most rare talent is to find someone about to make something clear, unambiguous and straightforward. I find you never get anything useful out of those who like nuance, sophistication, and appreciation of complexity.
