Yeah the paper is sooo balanced too!

Death Penalty?

That's why we have brains. In a lot of countries, newpapers openly fall on some part of the political spectrum. You read them with that in mind. It doesn't mean that the fact they carry are made up in order to push their ideology. If you think ignorance is a better solution, I'll have to disagree.The bias creeps into the new parts of most papers, but it's a lot less than you might imagine. From what biased sources did you get your "facts" on the Iraq war? Even the New York Times towed the Bush line in a big way. They've since apologized for doing so.

I am just saying that everywhere i look its democrat shit!

Gee, that makes a lot of sense. As I just posted in you're "I'm being repressed" thread:
In reply to:
It looks to me like the conservatives are in control of two of the three branches of government, and they have a strong foothold in the third. Corporations own most media....And we're getting an evangelical Christian on the Supreme Court.
Will you only be happy when conservatives are in absolute control of everything? I'll bet one of the first thing they'd do is to shut down this site and sites like it. Too "immoral". Ask Howard Stern about it.
By the way, the president of the U.S. is also an evangelical Christian.

FUCK IT I WILL DELETED YOU FUCKING CUNT, IF I SAW YOU ON THE STREET I WOULD KICK YOU ASS!

And that is why I'm glad that you not the guy pulling all the levers. But I wouldn't want any other individual to be in total control either. See, there is hope for democracy.You'd better be careful if you come to Florida. A new law just went into effect, which says that any person "has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm."Basically it means if someone bothers you, you can just shoot them. The death penalty then becomes moot.

In reply to: I will die for things I believe in I would die for my beliefs but I would not give up my life for nothing. Possibly, I would die to save an inocent life from being taken.Allowing your self to die is not the same as dieing for what you beleve.I'm not tring to change your view on the death penalty but your argument of acceptable loss of inocent life is deeply flawed.Would you offer your daughter as bait to catch a pedofile, knowing that you might not save her before catching the guy? I'm sure you strongly beleve that pedofiles need to be aprehended, as I do. But is it worth the sacrifice of an innocent life?The Iraqi insergents and their innocent hostages have more in common with you than you might like to admitt.
-
alright dont like me!!!
-
In reply to:The Iraqi insergents and their innocent hostages have more in common with you than you might like to admitt. Wow. I don't even know what to say to you on that one. If you actually think that and you don't see the difference, then it isn't worth my time to even try to discuss it more with you.
-
ok, I'm not trying to beat a dead horse, honestly, but bear with me a bit."If some innocents must die to support what we truely beleve in, then that is acceptable."To whom does the above statement refer?
-
If some innocents must die to support what we truely beleve in, then that is acceptable.So... people who don't share the same beliefs as you should die for it and that's... alright?
-
sometimes that is what it takes. only at extreme times though.
-
I see. You know, the fact of risking innocent people's lives who have nothing to do with us becuase of what we want... seems a little selfish. I don't know maybe it's just me. Oh wait no, no. This is America... right almost forgot there.
-
you took my post slightly out of context
-
oh I'm sorry. what are you saying then?
-
just the simmularity between Cael's veiw that the death of innocents by death penalty is justified to support his beliefs and the murder of innocent hostages by insergents is justified for their beliefs.so I ask, to which situation does the stement ("If some innocents must die to support what we truely beleve in, then that is acceptable.") refer?
-
How come it always turns out that it's the other guys who die for what we believe? How many CongressCritters who voted for the war actually have family fighting there? Does anyone care about the tens and tens and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians that have died? But it's for their own good, right?
Talk about dying for what you believe in. Except for the mostly poor Southerners who are deployed, we haven't sacrificed a thing, much less our lives.
We seem to consider the all-volunteer military to be as disposable as a tin can. Bring back the draft.
-
yep!take 'em fightin' and screamin'Cael if dying to give his life for his beliefs.
-
Some people here think that no one deserves it, but what would you have done to nazis involved with the holocaust. One was hanged but i think we should have punished germany more than a slap on the wrist.
-
> i think we should have punished germany more than a slap on the wrist
The country was destroyed. Its industrial capacity was bombed to smithereens. They weren't industrially competetive again for many decades. Slapping them long and hard after WW I is what led to WW II. A lot of the war criminals were imprisoned or executed.
What more would you have done?
