"at least we don't behead people!"

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

That's pretty much what our moral highground is reduced to. Very compelling.

The wastrel,immoral,corrupt,spendthrift heirs of our great legacy, Bush and his minions, have opened the gates of hell. At the very least we must give up the pretense that we are the "good" guys. Apparently, there are no good guys.

1. yet

[tsuki]

7. My first thought. nt.

[Fresh_Start]

2. ppl keep saying we don't behead people

But our munitions don't come with a no beheading guarantee. They behead people. They incinerate people. They tear people limb from limb.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

6. and the Du poisons our soldiers and the ground and the people

and even people far away as it is blown through the atmosphere. Oh well, War on Terra, doncha know.

[Buzz Clik]

3. There are good guys. Currently, they are not in charge.

[pooja]

4. No, but allowing a military dog tear you apart is so much more

humane. Or just outright shooting someone. Dead is dead people. I am not afraid of death. I am sound in my beliefs. Somehow, I believe heaven would be better.

[Straight Shooter]

5. Thank you for not beheading me, says a tortured man with his dying breath.

:sarcasm:

When we do behead people, we will do it with the guillotine, and these same torture-advocates will say, "Well, at least we don't behead them with knives!"

[Vidar]

9. The guillotine is an entirely suitable end for traitors, including most of

the Republican politicians & more than a few Democrats. I support the death penalty for treason.

[Bluerthanblue]

8. no, we make them suffer for days, weeks, months.... years, then

we hold kangaroo courts to justify murdering them.

Oh America, nation of fools run by rich idiots, obsessed by greed.

[leesa]

10. White phosphorous and napalm are so much better.

[Telly Savalas]

11. Why aren't we?

We need to offer the president every tool possible to combat terrorism.

(Look at me! I'm so clever! I just "took the best issue from the GOP"!)

[ddeclue]

12. Yet,,,,,

Give'm time...they'll get around to it...

[TankLV]

13. not yet, anyway...

give it time, I'm sure they'll start soon, and our dems can study the problem again and judge whether it'll be too risky to oppose it...

[fujiyama]

14. Just wait!

[raccoon]

15. How come many Americans are so appalled at beheadings

and yet they're cool with lethal injections and the electric chair?

The only "reason" could be because beheadings are bloodier.

[KKKarl is an idiot]

17. ..

Beheadings are not torturous enough. These people want to see the person suffer before they die. Even if for only a few minutes. With beheadings it is one chop & the person is gone. Not much torture there.

[ThomWV]

16. People Have Died In Custody, So What's The Difference?

What is the difference if we behead them or if we simply smother them to death or beat them to death? The result is the same.
