"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." Say some idiots from the US decide to plant a bomb on the London Tower Bridge. The Bridge blows up, many innocent people die, and England is fuming. What would you do if England started bombing the US or targeting Americans? Who, in their eyes, are the "evil-doers". Just because there are some complete morons in Iraq, doesnt mean that there arent just as many (or more) innocent people. And someone please tell me, WHAT the deal was with the POWs being tortured?!?! Chazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yod Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Say some idiots from the US decide to plant a bomb on the London Tower Bridge. The Bridge blows up, many innocent people die, and England is fuming. What would you do if England started bombing the US or targeting Americans? we'd kick their butts like we did in 1776 and 1812! that is not a good comparison though. If American citizens were terrorizing ANY nation, our government would arrest them and they would be punished. This is the exact opposite of what Iran, Syria, North Korea and other terrorist nations would do. It's like comparing apples to orange volkswagons.

I wouldnt trust the judicial system if my life depended on it. I dont know if you are familiar with the West Memphis Three, but it is one of MANY cases in which someone was sentenced to death without enough evidence to even raise an eyebrow. Then there are the high school students who go around killing their classmates because they've been submitted to a life of physical/verbal abuse. To the cops, students getting beaten up and laughed at every day isnt a good enough reason for them to eventually snap, so naturally the cops blame it in ridiculous things like clothing, music, video-games etc. Then we have a bunch of kids being detained because they were reported as being "anti-social" (Oh my goodness, not anti-social?! What are we gonna do?!). Apply this to a larger scale and we are in trouble. Going after the wrong people, jumping to quick conclusions, letting emotions get in the way. Its hopeless really. Chazy.

Guest charlie Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I wouldnt trust the judicial system if my life depended on it. Me NEITHER!!! I dont know if you are familiar with the West Memphis Three, but it is one of MANY cases in which someone was sentenced to death without enough evidence to even raise an eyebrow. I'm not familiar with the West Memphis Three but I'm quite familiar with Tenn law enforement, the FBI, TVA, ATF and your run of the mill small town sherriff (thug, bully). I'm also well aware that many innocent people have been executed in this country. Are you familiar with the Brooklyn Police department and all the murders they've committed and gotten away with in recent years? If American citizens were terrorizing ANY nation, our government would arrest them and they would be punished. ROTFLOL!!! It would depend on who they were, how much they're worth, who they know, and how much they're willing to "pay" to get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember all those trains that left at the last minute and weren't checked at the border? or the trucks. What about the Kurds? Other victims of a violent regime. Is Saddam in the right for his atrocities against his own people. And what pray tell did the soccor team who was murdered for losing a game did that warrented their brutal murders. What about his son in laws lured back by promises of forgiveness only to be murdered crulley? Oh yes things were MUCH better under Saddam indeedd NOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly when the world was lies to about the reason for these two wars "on terrorism". 2 questions: 1. What do you think even makes the U.S. Government qualified to be the moral policemen for the rest of the world? 2. Where did the U.S. Govt. get the authority to (moral and spiritual authority) to intervene in the affaris of other countries and to attempt to tell them how they should conduct their affairs? Is it simply because we are the biggest baddest Super-power in the world? MIGHT DOES NOT MAKE RIGHT MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably spend 120 hours exploring the government and posting about it. There's also about 720 hours in a month...give or take a few...in other words, about 1% of your time goes "volunteering for various things". Not trying ot judge, just put it all into perspective for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
