Here we go again with the ridiculous both sides nonsense. A quick history lesson:
1.Holocaust no both sides.
2.Pearl Harbor no both sides.
3.Apartheid no both sides.
4.Rwanda Genocide no both sides.
5.September 11th attacks no both sides.
6.ISIS atrocities no both sides.
7.Russian invasion of Ukraine no both sides.
8.Saddam Husseins chemical attacks no both sides.
9.Slavery no both sides.
10.Talibans oppression of women no both sides.
Sometimes right and wrong are crystal clear.

(74,872 posts)Are you on the side of a blood thirsty dictator who viciously and attacked a peaceful
nation that had done nothing to him or his nation with mass killings, torture, kidnapping
> 50,000 children, sent missiles, drones, and bombers against civilians, and gave his troops
troops viagra so they would rape men, women, and children.
Or are you on the side of real heroes who stood up to Putin and his killers?
Thanx for the thread.

Say it so they know. Otherwise they will continue to be Wrong! This is something you can do, if you're a Journalist. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT'S YOUR JOB!!!!!!!!

(243 posts)promoting "bothsiderism" will bring on a truce in the Red vs Blue Wars.
I'm seeing more of it now around me, and I understand the urge to lay down weapons of insult and invective. But I think it's wistfully naive. And we will be taken advantage of...again. Lucy and the football? How many times...
WE always reach out, WE try to understand them, WE give the benefit of the doubt, WE take the high road. And we lose and THEY win. I'm still waiting for THEM to reach out to us. And I know I'll be waiting a LONG time. Because in this game, we tend to play fair and they cheat. It's stacked against us.
This time we must fight for our principles. Take a page from Ukraine and take a stand. Whatever form of pushback short of violence. But playing nice is just NOT the way to go in the face of this evil.
