We're not all cunts!! Our government is corrupt!!

[xobrentox]

I have a flag pin lapel that I wear upsidedown.

We have music like Anti-flag and Pennywise; bands that call out our government on the things they do that are wrong and unjust.

We can participate in flag burning and many, many, MANY people here speak out against the politics of George W. Bush. Most of us despise the current administration. It's our electoral system that is horribly flawed. 18% of the population here controls 60% of the Senate. We the PEOPLE do not condone torture.

@xobrentox Indeed. The only thing I want to add is that we the PEOPLE WILL LOSE HORRIBLY AND GET ANNIHILATED. The CEOs, politicians, and god-knows-what-else WILL replace ALL OF US with mindless ais and robots X(

Torture is never justified? Somebody obviously doesn't know who Jack Bauer is.

"I’m concerned about a better world [...] about justice [...] about brotherhood [...] about truth. And when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can’t murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar, but you can’t establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can’t murder hate through violence. Darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that." MLK

People have become desensitized to the well being of others. It's tragic to observe the total lack of care, lack of respect for human life.

@1hogfan83 they have rights, would you like me to waterboard you, the point that he's making is that the torture of another human being is unacceptable regardless of who they are. People who are tortured will say anything to make it stop

[1hogfan83]

you people make me sick. any of these "people" would slit your throat at a moments notice. they are not u.s. citizens, therefor they do not have citizen rights. these interogations have saved thousands of lives, even obama was caputured. stupid tree huggers. 3:10 "all i want is to be on my own" i bet you do, to send a car bomb down wall street. jimmy carter was one of, it not the worse presidents ever. what about babies rights? they're murdered!!! hipocrites!

@xixas15 this person regardless of who they are has rights that are protected by local and international laws

[xixas15]

ok, so lets think for a while. there's a bomb threat and the terrorist is captured. he knows where the bombs are located, and by locating them we're able to save thousands. are you gonna tell me that torture isnt acceptable then?
