7. Sometimes a terrorist is a freedom fighter and sometimes freedom
fighters are terrorists.

Bush's foreign policy generally and his assault on Iraq especially have increased violence against other human beings. The occupation of Iraq has escalated violence in the world and made all of us less safe.

He's not bringing peace or democracy anyplace. He's bringing destruction and contempt, and it will continue to breed fury at the West until he is out of office.

I'm a bit preoccupied with 06 midterms, but the 08 presidential election is extremely important, and we have to keep one eye out for it.

8. It's really simple...

If you support torture, you must then be willing to undergo it yourself in the same situation, or you're a hypocrite.

(You're already an evil fuck, but now you're also a hypocrite!)

EDIT: fyi, this is NOT aimed at the OP!

9. What is torture?
Sodomizing people to death with broomsticks is clearly unacceptable (except if you're Sean Hanitty who secretly loves being sodomized). Is a naked pyramid too much? Is loud music too much? What about being locked in a small cage or a cold room? Does it matter what kind of prisoner it is? Maybe Osama could be treated a little rougher. Is torture really effective in obtaining the truth? All I'm saying is we as a country need to have an honest discussion about this and forget about who is a patriot and who hates the Constitution and who really cares about national security. Instead we get everyone calling everyone else a fascist. I'm just sick of it.

10.  Assume for the moment that there are exigent circumstances
that arise from time to time where "the end justifies the means." Then, in such a case, the person who inflicts the pain should do so with no legal guarantee, just the hope that others will agree and a willingness to accept punishment if they don't.

12. For all Christian fundamentalists, ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?"
Edited on Sat Sep-16-06 02:56 PM by Selatius
You know damn well what Jesus taught, you hypocritical morons.

17. Other. I support applying the techniques that Bush approves to him
until he admits he's a terrorist.
