The first time I realized I was, for lack of a better word, different than the people I grew up around is when one of my high school buddies just casually said we should "just glass the middle east and get it over with". Glassing is a term we got from Halo which means to incinerate an area with such a high heat the surface turns to glass. His proposed method was obviously nuclear bombs.

No one else thought it was an outlandish thing to say, much less a truly abhorrent one.
