Pro death penalty but truthfully this shouldn't be a death penalty case since he himself took no overt action. The "criminally liable for others actions in the conspiracy" thing they're throwing around is pretty weak. Morally.. he deserves a bullet to the head. As the law reads though it's...

That's ******ed on so many levels that i find it incomprehensible that you'd actually put it up where other people can see it. Please do not flame. Warned.

Christ you're a bunch of cynical bastards

The stressed A of people from Boston just grates on my nerves like nails on a chalk board. Cajun accent is pretty annoying too.

That's not what i said and i don't even see how you could interepet that out of my post. Bravery with a purpose. If i went downtown naked and started spiting out racial epitaphs.. thats pretty damn brave. Not all that high on the IQ meter though and incredibly pointless. He went in...

Being brave and being stupid are not mutually exclusive. When budhists in vietnam lit themselves on fire it showed they were passificts, it proved they were brave and cared strongly about what believed in.. it accomplished nothing. Jumping on a grenade to protect the people around you is...

I'd be for it. Make it a quick 8 month stint after high school. This is gonna sound like an old codger statement (which i'm not) but even that short time would give kids self discipline and self respect, plus offer training in broad terms to those going into the job market without the...

Against the Tide of Years by S.M. Stirling

The man was brave, and caring; a true altruist. However, forgive me if i'm being callous, but he was also naive to very deffinate fault. In a perfect universe one man's peacable message would be heard.. this isn't that universe. While i find his passing tragic, walking into a warzone that...

Iran got almost every ship in it's navy sunk by single american task force back in the 80's. Whatever else they might do blockading is not going to be effective. As to what they can do to further destabalize Iraq? Seriously what can they do that hasn't already been done or is in the...

Just thought of a new one Dread from the Otherland series

I have absolutly no knowledge of Blaire's beleifs, stances, or opinions.. If nothing else though he's a much better public speaker than Bush. I can listen to the man talk and actually think. "wow, he seems to know whats going on" rather than "christ.. something shiny's got the presidents...

Ed Harris from Enemy at the Gates... God was that an awful movie. (Turned the bloodiest battle in human history into a love story.) But Harris was so much cooler than the russian sniper that was rooting for him. And Joachim Stuben from David Drakes' Slammers series. Not really a villian in...

My computer. I threaten it with reformat untill it decides to work the way I want it to. It's tough love.

I just don't even see the point other than the capital hill wanting to show that they're "pro-active". Security does not change in the least, the UAE is an ALLY, and it's a positive economic move. This is a form of accepted racism thats becoming more and more prevailent in the U.S. and i...
