US legalizes some torture, overturns hab.corp.?

Exsqeeze me? You know what level the terrorist are at? Their at the level of killing women and children, bombing subways, flying into buildings. We cause mild-medium discomfort.

 

 

 

So that makes it alright then?

 

For the love of smeg...

 

 

 

If the defense of all good, means being tough then damnit so be it!

Ugh... let me explain my point in a metaphor that might relate to you a little more.

 

 

 

This is you --> :mrgreen:

 

 

 

This is little Timmy --> :D

 

 

 

One day, little Timmy suddenly turns into :evil:

 

 

 

He starts you. This makes you sad. You think Timmy is evil for you.

 

 

 

In retaliation, you start with Timmy. Timmy stops you.

 

 

 

This makes you happy.

 

 

 

Then you realize that Timmy makes you no better than Timmy was when he was you.

 

 

 

This makes you sad.

 

 

 

In fighting Timmy, you have become Timmy.

 

 

 

It's ok if that went over your head, I used a lot of jargon.

I'll be honest - I disagree with you, and I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't think "being tough" includes violating basic human rights, which is what I think the USA is currently doing, crossing the line from "tough" to "inhumane."

 

 

 

There definitely is a fine line. Ghost Ranger is arguing that we haven't quite crossed it; I'm arguing that we have. The line is kind of arbitrary, and so it's understandable that we have a difference of opinion.

 

 

 

So, I understand where you're coming from, but respectfully disagree :)
