Do you view yourself as hypocritical? You stated earlier last week that you wouldn't intervene in a fist fight to help someone getting pummeled due to your height. However, you have no problem condoning military action as long as it's not your neck on the line. Please explain.

So which is it - I was talking in jest or am a hypocrite? Both is an acceptable answer.

1) I never said it was solely because of my height, but it's certainly one of the many reasons I wouldn't have stepped in. Regardless of someone's size, anyone stepping into that situation is grossly outnumbered considering the number of people cheering the situation on. (As an aside, bart mentioned the word around town is that kid did steal those shoes. If so, he got off easy by not being sent to the hospital on a stretcher.)

2) You're welcome to look at my post history in the Political Forum to answer you questions on my opinions of sending our military abroad as the world's police force.
