        It seems like it is to me. Killing all the children means there won’t be a next generation.

              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.

                    The correct response is to start your question by apologizing for assuming you knew what I said.

                    Too bad you didn’t bother doing that.

                    Too late now too.
