abu ghraib, is where true crimes were committed. No one denies that. But Gitmo? That's a ruttin' Sandles Resort for Ahkbar.

I'll reserve comment on this stuff. Sounds too medieval to be true.

That was sarcasm, btw. Just because one torture can always be topped by another, doesn't make the lesser one something else, just a different level.



and your outrage at the greater torture is where?

Guess as long as you can make a joke, it's not too bad.

Must be right over there next to your outrage, making jokes...

Is Islam violent?

I dunno. Is Xtianity?

Sometimes silly and extravagant, sure. But I don't recall Jim or Tammy Fay Bakker ever funneling sand down anyone's throat. Just begging for Johnny's college fund. Evil ? Yes. Bernie Madoff evil, perhaps, but not the BIG E evil.

( and I've never mentioned, but I've been a fan of REM for a very long time. )

The Crusades? The Inquisition? Witch hunts? The 100-Years War? The Holocaust? The Troubles in Ireland? Hello? Ring any bells?

Oh, so something happened 100's of yrs ago, you hold that as the measure by which to compare things which are happening today. Of the list you gave, only the 'troubles ' in Ireland come close, and that still isn't the same as what the Islamo whackos are doing.

Are you saying Xtianity has fundamentally changed in ... say... the past hundred years?

I think SignyM might be show sympathies for muslim extremists (once again)

Please stop with the self mutilation,
rosie o'donnell is not cool
and nirvana died in the 90s

If you have a couple of Islams in the family and you need to defend these people out of misguided loyalties I suppose that might be understandable

but the whole emo, anti-american, extreme left, nirvana junk needs to get old fast

I noticed that rappy didn't answer the question. Neither did you. And it was a simple, rather open-ended question too. Seems to be a problem with you rightwing guys... inability to think. When you run out of ideas... which is, well, pretty much right away... you start smearing people.

---------------------------------
They pit us like dogs against each other and rake it in. And I'll bet they laugh when they hear dupes like you defend the system that fucks you over and rewards them so nicely! But the one thing they'll stamp out in horror as if it were the spark of conflagration is any whiff of socialism. That should tell you something.
