It's official: We have become barbarian ...
This is ridiculous.

I was at a bar and everyone rejoiced.

I didn't like the fucker but damn. This is insanity normalized. I don't know what to say ... this is insanity.

What the fuck? We all know he's guilty ... show trial and now he's hanged.

I don't know. Maybe I'm a pussy, though I've taken a few punches to the face and I can fight.

This has disturbed me horribly.

1. And how the American citizens cheered when atomic bombs were dropped
Edited on Sat Dec-30-06 05:10 AM by LynnTheDem
on the citizens (mostly old men, women, and children...and 13 US POWs) of Japan.

And they cheered when the bombs were dropped on the men, women & children of Iraq.

America stands tall with Iran, China, Korea, Uzbekistan, Saudi in upholding the proud tradition of the death penalty.

US barbarism isn't new.

9. We are not allowed to know about that.
Don't you fucking know?

Anything that America has done bad is for good?

4. Sad .. Isnt it ?
Great you werent here, though ...

It was the same as the bar ....

Some even tossed the metaphorical Saddam corpse into a pool of urine ... and then danced around it, seemingly drunken on this new found satisfaction of justice .. again; metaphorically ...

Many DUer's joined in .....

Pretty sad state of affairs ....

I guess some DUers dont actually mind dealing death, as long it is they who are dishing it out ....

But they are righteous ... so it's ok .... :sarcasm:

12. You do it by legal standards.
And I'm okay with that.

This wasn't done by any kind of international legal standards (and that's what worries me).


Hitler murdered a lot of people (legally).

Fuck him and fuck anyone who thinks this was legal.

I dare you to come and take me to the gallows. I FUCKING DARE YOU.

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

16. So....
are you going to cite where the gas chamber was legal, are you going to cite where the furnaces were legal?? what about Dr. Mengala's experiments on Jews, were those legal....I'm just curious if you will show how Hitler legally killed "lots of people" or are you going to insult me again?

Passion is good bro, accuracy and passion are better.

I'm pretty confident the Concetration camps were not legal....Ditto for the trucks to asphyxiate people and the single bullets in the head.

Disagree if you wish, but some evidence would be helpful.

22. Ok......
what the heck does your little rant have to do with Hitler. You said hitler killed a lot of people legally. I asked you to cite where the methods of the Third Reich were legal. So far you have been an asshat to someone asking you polite simple questions. I am a patient man, so I will ask a third time.....What methods of the Nazis were legal pertaining to the murder of Jews, gypsies and slavs. You said, back it up.

26. Are you being obtuse on purpose?
I didn't say they were legal.

The murderers said they were.

I was only cautioning that because we hanged a murderer that we don't fall in the same trap.

Please, keep up.

"You do it by legal standards.

So did Hitler legally or illegally murder millions?

27. Obviously off his meds...
Anyone who would say that Hitler murdered millions (legally) is quite obviously seriously disturbed, and with his inability to express himself in any way without resorting to playground and childish epitaphs and gutter language that only an adolescent would take joy in using makes me wonder about his maturity.

56. It was voluntary.
You started out by using gender based slurs, insulted other posters for calling you on it and then followed it up with a display of ignorance so blindingly brilliant, it dimmed the lights in Georgia.

By all means, blame others for your own mistakes.

Your cowardice rivals that of the baboon who sleeps in the White House tonight.
