JACKASS SEY DI worl' no level. Jackass sey some man a look pon de yute head whe get cut aff a Iraq an a seh yow it 'barbaric' an naa check pon ow wicked warfare pon innocents is.
Last week, we were treated to a video of a man's head being cut off. Well, sawn off is actually more like it, as that dude's head was separated from his body not with a sword or axe stroke, but a sawing motion that took a while.
It was like cutting a warm harddough bread with a table knife, actually.
Now, the reactions were rather predictable - what a savage act it was, what a barbaric way to kill a human being, the whole nine yards plus the bolt of cloth.
And, to top it off, that it was the worst thing they had ever seen in their lives.
Not for Jackass, though.
Y'see, when the good ol USA - and the murdered man was not a part of the US armed forces - was launching its invasions of Afghanistan and, later, Iraq, they had some people called journalists accompanying the invading troops. Hey, they even had them in the planes, and that is where Jackass saw the most savage act he has ever seen.
There were these kids, these little kids, 19, 20, 21, in the planes very excited and happy to be heading off to 'kick ass' - from the safety of the air, of course. They were busy putting messages on bombs that were about to be dropped on people they would never see and had no cause to wage war on.
And they were smiling.
Jackass felt his blood run cold. Here there were people in multi-million dollar planes, dropping bombs on people who had done them no wrong, and they were smiling like it was the first time they were about to eat cotton candy.
Inferior person
The worst thing of theories of superiority, racial or otherwise, is that they do not recognise the humanity of the supposedly inferior person. So, it was pretty okay to kill Iraqi civilians (estimated anywhere between 8,000 and 11,000, according to a website called Iraq Body Count), but the slicing off of one man's head is supposed to be this overwhelmingly barbaric act.
There are those who find it difficult to wrap their minds around the concept that persons in uniform can and do terrorise people. There is also this way that the murderers in uniform, terrorists parading as soldiers, have of trying to take away the right of those they have invaded to fight back. So, a US soldier is in a plane and drops a cluster bomb on civilians and it is OK, even glorified, yet a man straps a bomb around his waist, gets as close as he can to is intended target and squeezes the trigger and he is condemned.
So, Jackass wants to know, those poor persons who do not have money to buy a way of killing people without seeing them do not have the right to fight back?
What makes a bomb dropped from a mile high somehow more noble than a bomb in the back of a car? I am reminded of some westerns I used to read as a little cubbie, where the cowboys would complain that the Indians were savages, because they would scalp a few blondies.
But it was perfectly okay for said cowboys to rape, maim and massacre.
Jackass sey di worl' no level. Jackass sey when some man whofa wickedness beget wickedness feel one likkle piece a wha dem gi, dem cyaan tek i.
