Description
"And let me ask you this… this is a moral question, not rhetorical, I’m looking for the answer: what is the moral difference between cutting off one guy’s head, or two, or three, or five, or ten - and dropping a big bomb on a hospital and killing a whole bunch of sick kids? Has anybody in authority given you an explanation of the difference?
Human beings will do anything, anything, I am convinced. That’s why when all those beheadings started in Iraq, it didn’t bother me. A lot of people here were horrified, “Whaaaa, beheadings! Beheadings!” What, are you fucking surprised? Just one more form of extreme human behavior. Besides, who cares about some mercenary civilian contractor from Oklahoma who gets his head cut off? Fuck ‘em. Hey Jack, you don’t want to get your head cut off? Stay the fuck in Oklahoma. They ain’t cuttin’ off heads in Oklahoma, far as I know. But I do know this: you strap on a gun and go struttin’ around some other man’s country, you’d better be ready for some action, Jack. People are touchy about that sort of thing." ~ George Carlin - 2005

What would George say about the beheading in Oklahoma?
ISIS has beheaded thousands not just a few.

ISIS is cutting heads off in the thousands but who is bombing a hospital and killing a whole bunch of sick kids?
