   You're missing the point.  In times like this, when a world power is   
   trying to destroy a neighbouring smaller power which is one of the   
   major granaries of the world, and that small power is fighting back   
   for its very survival, you cannot LIVE in one world and SUPPORT the   
   other.   
      
   You need to pick a side and stick with it.  I happen to like our way   
   of life, our democracy, our civilised values, our running clean water,   
   our freedom.  I've picked a side, for what it's worth.   
      
   You seem to want to enjoy the priveliges of freedom and living in one   
   of the world's best societies yet, it seems to me at least, you   
   support the aggressor here - the Russians.   
      
   You're not as overt about it as that nutcase Arthur, who stupidly   
   flaunts it and isn't trolling, he means it - and I hope I'm wrong   
   about you.  But, in picking the side you do finally pick, you   
   shouldn't then criticise the side you pick.  And you should have the   
   courage of your conviction.   
      
   Don't be an "Arthur".  Be your own man.  Take a position.  Come down   
   off the fence.
