You mistake me, Taurus..
I dunno where people get the idea that a proper interrogation involves anything resembling violence or torture - in fact, in a very good interrogation, the perp never even *realizes* he's handed over the crown jewels.
Too much bad TV, I guess.
You can get a LOT more information out of someone by psychologically 'cracking' them (and the medical treatment, for example, factors in here) than by trying to pound it out of them, and as a general rule information obtained in the latter fashion is far less reliable.
I also find it *extremely* offensive to watch you flame people who are doing their jobs as anti-american... let me make this perfectly clear to you, not every american agrees with you or your viewpoints, nor do you agree with theirs - you voted for people who represent YOUR interests and goals, other folks voted for people who represent THEIR interests and goals, and those people are *doing their job*, representing the people who elected them.
That IS Americanism at it's best, and if you wanna change that you go convince the people who elected them, instead of offending them and calling them "anti-american"... they did not just walk into that office and sit down, they were elected by a sufficient margin of people to put them there and have to answer to those people.
If I worked for Coca-Cola to make a living, would that make me "Anti-Pepsi" ?
No, it would make me an employee of Coca-Cola who puts it in the vending machines cause THAT IS MY JOB.
You're flaming the wrong people, and flaming isn't gonna do jack diddly except offend the very people who's minds you need to change - you need to go to the constituents and convince THEM if you have a problem with matters, and it might behoove you to be less offensive in your methods.
That's supposedly why THR exists, but I can't see flamage convincing anyone.
It's also not exactly decent behavior to flame a religion, no matter who you're flaming it to - my ancestors fought for the saracens, buddy, defending their homeland from savage bloodthirsty frankish crusaders
(Yes, I am saying that *very* tongue in cheek, but it's all a matter of viewpoint, ehe?)
Consider this point carefully.. I feel much the same way about YOUR beliefs, as you do about Islam, but I have enough respect an tolerance to accept that each person practices a belief differently, and to not lay judgement against them till I see their conduct, and even then, not to judge all the rest of that belief by the actions of that individual.
Hate is never pretty, and all it's going to do is convince anyone reading this site that gun control is maybe a good idea... somehow I don't think that's why we're here, are we ?
