    Which is worse: using “child soldiers” to fight genocide or genociding children including those too young to be soldiers?

    B/c the “both sides” argument is just obvious BS.

                I am comparing your use of the word ‘genocide’ to describe a rebel group because they use under-18 soldiers to dwight accusing a pushy italian-american insurance salesman of being in the mob because he drives an suv.

                Not as funny when it needs to be explained, though.

                    So your point about them using child soldiers is unrelated to your claim that they’re “killing children in large numbers”?

                    Seemed like you were conflating the two, maybe I got that wrong.

                    When you casually drop ‘genocide’ into a conversation without elaborating on who or what you’re talking about you’re likely to cause some confusion.
