And yet you seem to be unable to comprehend the situation, instead needlessly hating the people that could (and try to) help you.

They don’t have schools in communist glimmer_twin town?

EDIT: You should know that I’m regularly reduced to tears at the atrocities. I’m not your enemy but you’re making it so very hard to be your friend.

I’m really using the word “you” to address all of those with your outlook. It’s not a personal attack.

In what way is giving a mass murderer body armor a form of "helping"?

Misrepresenting what I’ve said so far doesn’t exactly make you look honest.

Rejecting a clear and obvious analogy for what you're saying doesn't exactly make you look like you have the intelligence to operate a doorknob

It’s a counter-argument that has nothing to do with the initial statement. Hence, dishonest.

It would seem everyone here (including you) is simply dedicated to being angry and decided I’m a great target for that anger. Do you need a mirror?

Whatever gymnastics you're doing in your twisted little head about what you initially said or meant, the analogy RedWizard used is appropriate to the real world situation so you can get fucked.

And you can get fucked twice for projecting yourself onto all of us by way of being a genocide supporter (but :< you cry) coming to troll and acting like we're all just congenitally angry.
