Comment on I hate wars by MadHotaru
"War is an ugly thing.
But not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-John Stuart Mill

And all wars are, of course, perfectly honorable and justified, and not at all used by polititians for there own personal gain. Opposition to war is clearly a sign of cowardice and treason against the state.
Quoting a 19th century Englishman out of context on fanart for a society of magical talking equines doesn't make you sound smart.

And being a sarcastic jerk who pokes his nose in where it's neither wanted nor needed while simultaneously ignoring the quote and claiming it's out of context when you've clearly never read anything by the man makes you sound like a total ponce.
John had it right. Really. +1.
wow that was good saying.
