"We didn't chop off arms, we just chopped off fingers"- "We didn't brutalize our wives, we just disciplined them by punching them in the face" "We didn't abuse our children, we were merely teaching them right from wrong with a belt" The rationalizing is astounding. Similar to pregnancy, there is no such thing as a "little" torture. Finding some stooge in the administration to give cover for torture just indicates how far down the criminality went.

(75,480 posts)I don't know if she was his wife or girl friend. His excuse was that he hit her with an open hand not his fist so it didn't hurt her. My husband said he was quite willing to hit him with an open hand so he knows what it feels like and that it was never okay to hit someone smaller and more vulnerable, especially women and children. The man backed off and the couple got into their car and drove off. My husband, who was a pretty big guy and an Irishman, really knew how to fight and he would have pulverized that ass if he hadn't tucked in his tail and fled.

(10,274 posts)Maybe we should pick a state with high land to population ratio, and start a fund so all the actual liberals in America can move there if they wish, (and, anybody who wants OUT can be equally funded)
and then we can just do shit the way it really should be done, and when it's the only thriving economy and decent place left to live in America, we can tell all the Randians who think they deserve their cut to fuck off and starve.
