And somehow, even without meaning to, GS managed to stir up controversy even without being present in the subsequent thread discussion. And because it took a political turn, I've moved it to politics, where, if it must, it can stay alive.

SwirlyMass, your insults above would have caused this thread to be deleted from the other area of the forum, and frankly to an objective reader, you seem to have come into this disucssion with a chip on your shoulder. BlueCat didn't complain about anything when she initially posted. She was simply putting GS's whining complaints into perspective. You're the one who actually switched the topic to politics. My impression is that you need to watch your step, and if you feel so deeply offended by the war, you probably need to start threads here in politics rather than coming in and setting off the cycle that ends with flaming people who respond in reasonable fashion to other topics.
