Sex rape. The rape of nanking. Rape dvd. Rape sites. Rape videos. Rape porn. Free rape story….

If you had detained someone who could tell you how to stop the murder of thousands of your fellow citizens and you failed to try everything in your power to make him talk, where is the morality in that? Wouldn’t you actually be guilty of helping to kill those people?

Those who deliberately fail to defend America are nothing but Al Qaeda accomplices. No morality in that: it’s a “Bad Samaritan” move which just demonstrates how selfish and uncaring the left really is.

If we cannot uphold our moral values while defending this country then we do not deserve to be defended in the first place.

I just wanted to emphasize this. We have to be perfect, everyone else can be jackasses.

Now. I have no problem with criticism of my country, it deserves plenty. But you’re implying it should be destroyed (not deserving defense) if it’s not absolutely morally perfect. You haven’t conceded a single circumstance otherwise, that’s the absolute implication of your argument.

I don’t know if you’ve never had to make a hard decision in a place and time that didn’t allow the best possible outcome, or if you’re just a rampaging hypocrite, and I don’t really care. You are the epitome of the quote “the perfect has become the enemy of the good.”

Your imaginary perfect world has so superceded reality in your mind that good isn’t worth defending because it isn’t perfect. Meditate on that, or just ignore it like you do everything else that doesn’t fit your preconceptions, doesn’t really make any difference.

That was sort of my point. If any of those punishments were inflicted today on our enemies they most certainly would be considered torture by our current standards.

I must admit, I put those examples you gave as coming under corporal punishment – not torture.

F*ck the Emirates!

There’s a policeman there. To some on this board that means they deserved the beating they got. If a policeman gives an order and you don’t obey, you are breaking the law. Keep this in mind next time you think that.

Excellent point. Unfortunately, those people only make those sorts of statements because they aren’t inclined to think critically in the first place, and they won’t understand what you meant, most likely.

Who knew….

Sandblasting a soup cracker, but bravo all the same.

Turtler is a fairly recently arrived poster. Always smack dead on target.

Just don’t get in his way when he is on a roll. Gotta love him.
