[reddread]

posters advocating annihalation for hackers and japanese whalers?

1. "I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."

[JustAnotherGen]

2. Haven't seen those threads

[RiverLover]

3. Haven't seen that either.

I always thought when someone has a "death wish", the death is their own, not others'. So I haven't seen any death wishes, either way.

[Shrike47]

4. Don't want to personally kill people. Want them to die by (divine) (magical) intervention.

There are whole bunch of people of my imaginary hit list.

5. Must be you, I don't see it and you offer no examples of what you mean so I assume you don't really

have any. Much less 'a lot'.


Edit- Came back to say I saw one such post, so it is not entirely you. The thread is not getting any agreement. But it is there.

8. Not me at all

I appreciate you keeping your eyes and mind open to that.
Anyone who wants to fight for justice and peace between humans
and marine mammals will have to get in line behind me.
Anyone who levels death threats as a solution is only a problem.
I dont think that behavior should be ignored,
nor some callous oaf "called out" in another thread.
I simply think the sickly and negative nature of those comments should be recognized.
thank you.

6. I've seen it too.

I think most of it is hyperbole, but we'd be better off without it nonetheless.

7. Some people see no value in the lives of those that think/believe differently.

9. I hate those bastards and wish them dead!

and so it goes.

10. "Please let me know when killing ever improved something" - When the

USSR and U.S.\UK defeated Nazi Germany in World War II? Had to kill a lot of German soldiers to defeat Nazi Germany.

[BootinUp]

11. That would be characterized as self defense in my book

Seems the OP is referring to vigilante justice, not sure where he saw that being advocated though.

[KingCharlemagne]

14. I take your point about 'self defense' and wish to note I was

merely responding to the naive and jejeune statements of the OP.

[reddread]

12. and vice versa

every single corpse (and their survivors) thanks you for your consideration.
I have to suspect, considering
every
single
act of treacherous, bloody skullduggery, the mountains of corpses wrongfully constructed
following WW II, that maybe it wasnt all "Saving Private Ryan" and the Andrews Sisters?

[KingCharlemagne]

13. Survivors of Auschwtiz and its companions in Nazi-occupied Poland

(liberated by the Red Army) would beg to disagree.

The Viet Minh had to kill a lot of French soldiers to triumph in Vietnam at Dien Bien Phu. That's another example of killing accomplishing something good.

Oh, let's not forget the brave Union soldiers who did a fair amount of killing of their countrymen atop Cemetery Ridge and Little Round Top.

19. Simplistic view you have.

Do you know how many innocents of all nations died in that war?

How about WW1? That a good reason to kill people? Read a bit.

[KingCharlemagne]

20. How would you have stopped Hitler and liberated the

death camps in Poland?

[reddread]

22. well you certainly couldnt call a Kennedy or a Bush to do anything about it

so who ya gonna call now?

15. 3d Punic War ended up ok for the Romans

[cpwm17]

16. One of those is not like the other

I saw the post about sending a cruse missile (or something like that) to obliterate the hackers in North Korea. That was a terrible post. The crime didn't match the punishment and guilt would be impossible to determine. Plus it would be an act of war.

I'm the one that was guilty for saying the Japanese Whalers need to be torpedoed to the bottom of the sea. This would obviously be done while in the commission of their horrible crimes against nature. The same should be done to the bastards that are murdering elephants and rhino's for horns. The international community needs to get serious with these criminals.

[KingCharlemagne]

18. I'm with you 100%, cp, except that I would give the whales the means and training

to shoot back at the whalers. That would make it more 'sporting' and even up the odds a bit. Same goes for the other species you mentioned (elephants and rhinos).

[reddread]

21. Sounds familiar.

dont forget the air cover.

[reddread]

23. so what would you do to the international community who failed to stop them? a spanking?

or a mushroom cloud?
when accountability is zero, its a profound leap to acts of retaliatory murder.
that sort of rhetoric in the short term is not useful for people working the front lines right now,
and those trying to understand enough of the actual facts and details to manage a real solution.
If there is a long term for that ethos, its just another reason for someone to kill you back.
add that to the nuke em for hacking commentary, and I simply have to remark.
it all jibes comfortably with US foreign policy, so I can see why it pops up.

[cpwm17]

26. War is the worst crime known to man

and almost all wars are based on lies, including US wars. US politicians that promote the wars we start should all be tried for crimes against humanity.

I wrote that the Japanese whalers deserve to be torpedoed to the bottom of the sea. They are criminals and they should be treated like the criminal they are. Obviously, if possible, some type of police force needs to intercept them at the scene of their crime to capture them for trial. If not possible to capture them, sink them before they can murder again. Better them dead then more whales murdered.

[reddread]

28. so the death penalty for poachers (in a nutshell)

as if one (or a million -es) torpedo would end anything for good.
AMERICANS with money fly to Africa, spend $980,000 and bring back an elephants foot.
that is the truth, and that is the problem (in a nutshell).
It isnt a bullet that kills these animals, it is money.

[Kalidurga]

17. wishing someone dead isn't quite the same thing as killing them

that being said it's probably better that some thoughts are kept to oneself. not everything that occurs to us is worth typing out on a keyboard or being read. death wishes seem kinda hateful, i can think of worse things though. i won't type those things out, those things are among the thoughts i think it's better to keep to myself. I think if this bothers you maybe you should speak directly to the death wisher and see what's behind that besides the obvious hate. The hackers being hated on I understand, again we are confronted with the reality that there really are dangers on the internet and doing business via the internet makes a person vulnerable. Hating whalers well they are killing beautiful intelligent animals and I am not sure why except for money. I know next to nothing about the whaling industry and what whale is used for in modern times.

[whatchamacallit]

24. Yes, because our president believes in extrajudicial execution, a lot of DUers do too

They seem fine dispensing with due process if the media or authorities tell them it was a "bad guy" that got greased. Dark days in America...

25. The pen isnt much against a drone operator.

thanks for pointing out the obvious.
I had actually forgotten about that.
