Congrats, HT - you've just labeled everyone to the left of you as "they" in your last post, while complaining about people being labeled.


Rappy thinks "torture for the sake of torture" is wrong. What he doesn't get is that torture for the sake of ANYTHING is wrong.

Without WHAT?


I've read Without Remorse, yes. It was a work of fiction, as I recall. Is that what you base your worldview on? Fiction? It explains your stances on an awful lot of issues...

Yeah. Everything Clancy writes about is pure fiction.

And you continue to miss the point, entirely. As usual.

I don't believe I specified what 'they' refers too, although you've taken the liberty to do it for me If you feel the description applies to the entire left you've every right to that opinion. In general, I don't like to deal in absolutes.

Care to show me where I claimed that everything he writes is fiction?

You asked about a particular book, Without Remorse. It's fictional. Here's what it says on the declarations page (this is a direct quote, transcribed word for word from my copy of the book):

Quote:

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents either are the product of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.


"This is a work of fiction."

Your worldview is a work of fiction, Rappy.

You lose.

Really?

Just a chilling reminder about what happens when governments are allowed to use torture.

And the justification for such abominations occuring - 'in the national interest' 'the good of the many' 'national security' 'THEY are out to get us'. Same excuses since the beginning of time.

But Magons, when WE do it, it's different, y'see, because WE don't CALL it "torture". If we call it "enhanced interrogation" then it isn't torture. It can't be, because if it was, we'd have called it torture instead.

This is seriously the way Rappy's brain works. This is how he wraps his brain in the twisted little knots that allow him to get through the day.
