Yoour poor, poor wife...
...if you regularly argue as inefectually, annoyingly, and stupidly with her.
But it doesn't help how often, how thoroughly, or how simply you explain stuff to someone who just blank resuses to understand. Does your paycheck somehow depend on you not understanding this, or something?
This is an interpretation of lyrics issue and who they are targeted towards.Yup. And the interpretation is obviously that they're targeted towards the military-industrial or military-political complex, not (the audience as representatives of) the general public. So obvious that nobody ever -- except you -- has thought anything else.

This is not about violins on television. Can I use that idiom with you? This is not an insult, just wondering if I can use that shorthand. It seems our discussions devolve into occasional misunderstandings and I think that's a very good shorthand for what happens.Sure, you can use it, but I don't get it.
And really, shouting (Full-Blown Caps) combined with insults combined with sprinkling of curses (I know it's salt and pepper to you and I try not to react, but it's simply not punctuation in my brain, it's emphasis combined with attack), is it all really required? Is the effect desired? Sigh.Speaking of violins: Cue the world's smallest one. Can I use that idiom with you? Feels fitting for your whining about "attack", after some of your posts over the years. Including at least two this year that I've been letting slide so far.
I get to choose the main point of this discussion because I was asking questions about interpretation of lyrics.Sure. Just let people know when you start talking about different "they"s in the future, because that wasn't what this started out with: as you said, you started out with asking about the lyrics, so I was explaining how the "they" in the lyrics are NOT (Oh boo-hoo, capitals!) the people listening to the song in the distance on the radio.

I get to choose who "they" are because I posted and asked the questions about "them". I get to choose that.
[...]
The people listening to the song in the distance on the radio. The different groups of people each time they changed the words. The people being manipulated by the music and the words.
Are we done now?Maybe if you could ever bring yourself to STFU...?
