USA doesn't sign treaty to ban land mines

[Bryn Shander]

Land mines are a great way to chlorinate the gene pools of shitty countries. If people aren't smart enough to figure out that they shouldn't be going into the field where people keep exploding, they're not fit for survival. Give it a few generations and they'll stop doing it.

I just knew I would come to hate your love of genocide and your lack of morals. Oh wait. I have no idea how you have any credibility, but meh. How about this: Get some empathy.

How am I suppose to empathize with someone who speaks in clicks, eats bugs and won't live to finish puberty anyway?

Empathize means to understand another's situation. You mean sympathize, which is to feel compassion for another living being. I am more concerned with problems that affect my countrymen than some rugrat halfway around the world.

Why? Your countrymen are made so by the same chance that makes the rugrats not so.

Chance? What chance is involved? Two Americans can't procreate and end up with a Cambodian kid. It doesn't work that way. They are my countrymen because they were born in this country.

Good luck keeping out kids that have never seen anyone get hurt there. And if their parents tell them to stay out, well that won't stop those little tykes..

So...... you only like them because of where they were born? They didn't choose to be born here, or anywhere.

Well there ya go. That's the moral to this story. If you don't listen to your parents, you'll get your leggs blown off.

Landmines are an excellent way to deny land to the enemy. Just need ones that become inert after time :3

I was talking about you mentally, not physically. Your consciousness, your soul, in a sense.

How am I supposed to empathize someone who doesn't care? Still, I do that. I could care less about my countrymen in the US for the poor people in the world, they need more help. I don't care where people are born.

They do become inert after a time. Eventually the charge will degrade to the point that it won't do anything.

Of course if those shitty countries would actually send teams out to clear out mines after a field is discovered this wouldn't be an issue. Treaties can't stop laziness.

Try to make us. Neener neeener neeeneerr

We can do whatever the fuck we want hahaha!

Except hot stoves don't blow your legs off.

You've never seen what a pot of boiling water or hot oil can do to a kid, have you?

[Senestrum]

Land mines have legitimate military uses. Trying to guilt-trip people with pictures of maimed children won't change that. That being said, any nation that uses them should really try to clean 'em up when the war's over.

stoves. You ever grab a hot stove because you didn't know what "hot" was?

Vegetable oil...grease...all that kind of stuff. These things can render hands(or other body parts) completely useless if they are hot enough.

errr... I've yet to see someone lose limbs from a stove. Its conceivable if the inflicted child never gets proper medical attention, burns causing infections and all, but yeah...

There's not much difference when the oil hits you, really.

[Maurepas]

I would say that banning them outright is probably not a good idea, as they are needed in certain places, like the DMZ in Korea to keep the North out...

However, they should be more careful in where they put them, and restrict them to places like that, a land mine has no business in a civilian city...

Corruption?

[Zandan]

Even if the U.S. did sign it, it wouldn't stop other countries that didn't sign it from using them. Those other countries would just have an extra weapon in their arsenal that treaty signers don't.

[Maurepas]

Even if the U.S. did sign it, it wouldn't stop other countries that didn't sign it from using them. Those other countries would just have an extra weapon in their arsenal that treaty signers don't claim they dont.

Fixed, these treaties are rather meaningless when it comes to practicality anyway,

[Hairless Kitten II]

If the bigger countries as USA, China and Russia would sign the treaty, trust me then they can use softpower to outlaw landmines for everyone.
