Stupid statement of the Week.

Or maybe month... even more.

I was in a class the other day where a heated discussion about how Israel's government should get into negotiations with the Palestinians. There was no real consensus on the issue, mostly since Israel works unilaterally as a state while the Palestinians have several different actors working within the system, making talking to a single actor to get a concise response that will be acted upon difficult. So in that respect, we were trying to look through Islamic principles of conflict resolution to try to figure out how lasting deals could be worked out.

Then this one fool who had been nodding off most the time (and who I now assume is/was on some sort of drug) very sincerely declares that since there will never be a solution to the problem, Israel should just make a deal with the Palestinians to limit themselves to 1 bus bombing a month. The reasoning behind this? Well, "at least its not multiple bombings."

I'm sorry, did we just collectively get a little more ignorant as a race? Have we just suddenly all become so jaded to violence that we find ways to legitimize it without addressing the causes of issues? Thankfully everyone in the class thought he was an idiot, and contributed to a joyful several minutes of laughing at this dumb shit... he honestly looked insulted as well... I love stupidity when you least expect it. I find it sad when stupid fails to recognize its self.
