Trying to justify torture by its effectiveness, or lack thereof, is to miss the point entirely.

That this is even a topic of discussion is amazing to me!! (No offense meant Maciamo) Torture and justified do NOT belong in the same sentence...ever. To justify torture of any kind is to deny the basic priniciple that America is supposed to be based on. Turning our backs on the torturing of...

And you, sir, hit the nail on the head with that one.

Just a side note to this....the reason why that money is offered to suicide bombers by Saudi Arabia (and probably by Saddam) is that when the suicide bombers blow themselves up (and this is almost always without the knowledge or consent of the persons family) the Israeli government comes in with...

Wow. That is an unbelievable amount of money just to register. Maciamo, do you know how long this has been in effect in Japan? Also, does this apply for all elections (eg. local, prefecture, national). I am of the same opinion that running for an election should be free (or at least more...

Could you please give us a context with this picture? At a glance it looks inappropriate....but without context one cannot make judgement. And if you are implying what I believe your implying - may I remind you of the recent debacle over the child molesters in the Catholic Church (at least in...

Actually it does make the point clearer - you obviously are trying to indict the founder of Islam and all the people who adhere to its teachings. Why don't you just come out and say how you really feel about Muslims instead trying to lead us by the hand down a road of ignorant belief. :smug:

Amen Noyhauser. This is the same kind of ignorant (dis)information that creates a huge rift between the religions. I grew up friends with a Malaysian Muslim family who were dismayed at all the lack of knowledge and understanding between the West and Islam. Now, I work next to Muslims (whom I...

http://www.counterpunch.org/neville09072005.html Here is another article that ties into the horror of Bradshaw/Slonsky letter. The truth of what happened (and is happening in NO) is just coming to light. This was a disaster unlike any other for the US. When all is said and done I think...

You are likely right about Hughes. Rove, however, along with Hughes, helped to complete with persona of George W. I find it very interesting that they took a cadidate and "dumbed" him down to the people. W comes across as a very jovial and affable fellow when speaking about non issues...

Just curious to know what election Bush lost in the 1980's due to using "more precise political terminology"? He ran for the House in 1978,and lost - partially due to the statement "Today is the first time I've been on a real farm." (guess all those lovely pictures of him bailing hay and...

I dont really understand things like this. Hell, maybe it is a language. Of course I live in Kentucky and have yet to see hillbillyonics taught in schools. This country is more fragmented than a box of sand. Everyone has their own agenda and noone is looking out for the country as a whole...

That is what I said :) Believe it or not alot of people dont think that way here.....although, to some degreee, everywhere in America has people who do....not just here. I just can't believe it is in Kentucky because I have been through lots of places in the South and Midwest where a hell of a...

What is sad (for me anyway) is that I live in Kentucky....just one more reason for ridicule. I really cannot believe that people would flock to something like this....
