The last bastion of the left, when losing an argument, change subjects or attack the person on a personal level, demean them, ridicule them. I hardly find myself in my last bastion when people brings up stupid examples like this. It's like me saying "you should not cut them 1 inch of limb every time they refuse to answer". It's ludicrous to suggest such absurdity. And it's the last bastion of every side to resorting to such attacks, MM. desperat

It is too bad that the passion of the left can't be combined with the cool rationality of the right. Then we could passionately pursue and then execute on policies that would result in a better world rather than passionately pursue policies that lead to disaster. you suggest that the right is always right, simply by it's perfect rationality. I find it quite arrogant and dogmatic. And I think a majority of posters here are quite dogmatic about th

Reply to Do you REALLY want to do something about CO2 emissions? in Politics JoeUser Forums

The United States produces (for now) the most CO2 on the planet. Eventually China will catch up (who isn't govered by Kyoto incidentally - and people wonder why the US rejected it) and far surpass the US in CO2 emmissions because environmentalism is just a catch phrase there. even if they surpass you, they will be far - faaaaaaaaaaaaar- from being higher than you for CO2/capita. And they aren't going to lift a finger if USA doesn't either. Lead by examp

If we treated them as we do people in a certain county jail, we would be accused of torturing them. Then it's the county jail that has a problem(!)

You won't gain traction by calling everyone who comes to the debate but disagrees with you "stupid", though! Again you go way over the edge. I do not call everyone who comes to the debate but disagree with me "stupid", I call those who associates "non-torture" with "Cigars & Scotch" to try to advance their point trough stupid jokes.

How about this then, you get three terrorist, you take them up in a helicopter, you ask the oldest one a question, just one, when he refuses to answer you just toss him out of the copter, then land where his mangled body is, show it to the other two then take off again, ask the second oldest a question, if he refuses to answer, you toss him out of the copter wrapped in pigskin, you land, show it to the youngest then take off again, by then I am sure you will get your i

obviously you have not read the comment section where I mentioned that Kalil Sheik Mohammed the number three man in Al Qaeda broke from water boarding and gave up tons of useful information. Actually, I said this exactly because of your example. 1 example where it works doesn't make it right. You sounds like Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun 2 1/2: "In honnesty, I got the last two while parking my car. Luckily, they were drug dealers"

Not if I wanted to ADVANCE in the workforce rather than work crappy jobs the rest of my life. You could have quit nonetheless. Nobody held you in cuff and forced you to stay for months into that crappy jobs, water-boarding you. Anyway, I'm sorry to see your utter lack of a sense of humour. Oh, I'm sorry if I do not have a sense of humor when people are joking about torture. About actual torture. <br/

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=27367_Al_Gores_Hypocrisy_Revealed&only I agree with what he says there. Are you saying that George W. Bush shouldn't have believed it? well, that *was* 8(9?) years before G.W.B, and about 10 years before the actual attack of Iraq. And at the time, Saddam Hussein was proved to have chemical weaponry stocks, and Scud Missiles. Hower, things have changed between 1992 and 2002,

Chales CS1 and everyone else: If there are Mexicans or whoever crossing our border then I say shoot them. And if they don't get shot, use them to build the fence, electify it, and throw them back over. Or would you rather one of them park a nuclear warhead in our backyard? You say it would just be using slavery and i'm being hypocritical. They are criminals the instant they cross the border illegally. What is the differnce between slave labor and prison labor? Not much

Then I have had many bosses who have tortured me! You have been paid for it. You could quit when you wanted. Stop comparing apples with oranges.

Reply to What is Torture? in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

I agree with your premises, but the point is this mind breaking as you call it is saving American lives, The problem is, even if you cite 1 example where torture actually proved usefull, it mostly is not. You are trying to justify behavior to mistread lawful prisonners in order to break them psychologicly. It's a dangerous direction to take, a dangerous choice to make. You simply justify another step toward actual wrong behavior. Saddam

The game itself is very good, very interesting. But there is something that simply overannoy me, it's the fleet AI's (when you let your fleet fight automaticly).

lets see one media outlet versus what 500 or more. yep lots of info getting out there by these so called republican controlled media outlets. Well, Fox News is still the strongest mass-media in the U.S.A, that can potentially (and actually) reaches way more people than a lot of other papers or t.v. programs, and it strongly GOP-oriented. And I wasn't saying that ALL medias are republican-controlled, but some are. And those would have jumped at

i agree and have said so for years. but the ones that are here now illegally need to go home and stay there naaaaa. They will go home if no more job is offered them. It will be if they become legal (with no chance of any kind of "free" citizenship of any sort), and less jobs are offered to them because of it

But it should be made a) legal for mexicans to work in USA b) so legally dangerous for companies to hire mexicans a cut throat rates that they will simply ALWAYS hire them at legal wages that would make it that many companies would stop hiring mexicans, since the financial benefits (saving money) would disapear, and then

i agree. and that is the reason for the outlaw status. since people who are hired in such way are usually illegal immigrants in the first place, they are less likely to try to claim their rights. If they were allowed, they could do their best to gain a legal wage.

Reply to Christians do not compromise. in Politics JoeUser Forums

Asking them to pick a candidate that is of a religion that is a polar opposite of Christainity since "Christianity" can be interpreted in many ways.. I always found it quite odd that people may describe someone as "the opposite of Christianity", or "The opposite of moral values", since whatever you are trying to describe with those words are usually YOUR moral values (or those that have been shoved into your throat while you were a kid).
