Taliban beheading video [ EXTREMELY GRAPHIC ]

[spiker]

Please don't watch this if you can't stomach extreme violence...but you may want to pass it on to those who think it's terrible to authorize water boarding on prisoners that are known terrorists. Also, you may not want such visuals in your mind. It is the slow decapitation of people by Muslim terrorists, over and over again. As far as I'm concerned we should show no mercy, they laugh at us for such silly practices and then commit heinous murders as shown on this film. Please, pray before you watch this terrible film.

Take your propaganda elsewhere.

Just because some people act like savages doesn't mean we should all lower ourselves to their standards; next time you go to the zoo and the monkeys throw poo at you I think you should throw poo back at them... same logic applies in both cases.

[Puke]

The people being tortured by the American gov't aren't known terrorists.

ANd regardless of that AMERICA IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE TORTURING PEOPLE YOU STUPID FUCK!!

[Lloyd Danforth]

That

[dalebert]

These people are REALLY violent! We should be violent too because we can't stand that behavior!

[geoff]

If you allow torture in these specific circumstances, it becomes accepted and may eventually be "ok" in a situation involving you one day.

[RattyDog]

Okay....so, torturing terrorists is okay....and anyone who believes in states rights before federal rights is a terrorist....and I believe that my state should have more right to govern me than the federal government...therefore I am a terrorist...therefore torturing ME is okay. Right? Am I missing anything?

Furthermore...do you KNOW what it is, that the United States of America actually DOES...in foreign countries, when we are "At War"? What do you think, that our "guys" are out there only shooting at the "obvious" bad guys...you know, the ones wearing the special "terrorist" uniforms? Do you think our bombs are incapable of killing, maming or otherwise "terrorizing" the innocent families, children and animals caught in the crossfire of this ridiculous war?

You want to see a disturbing image or two? Go and look up, if you have the guts, "Iraqi Children Mamed by Bombs" - that could fill an afternoon, nay...a solid month, or two or more...of your time. Do you wonder why it is, that our dear country has so many enemies? We kill, indiscriminently.(sp). We don't care who we hit, who we kill...how many little kids (who already pulled the short straw in being BORN in some of these locations) are going to end up without the hands, feet, mobility that they will NEED to earn a living in these places where "a living" isn't coming easy these days.

Do you know how bad it is there? And whose fault it is, that it's that bad? I am disgusted that a human being, could pick up a saw and use it to behead another human being..it shakes me to my core to think of that. But I would imagine...that if I saw my neighborhood destroyed, my children and the children of my loved ones lying dead in the streets...some of them with no parents left to even come and cry over their mangled bodies...if I saw my culture being destroyed...all of the young boys being scooped up for indoctrination by extremists, with rageful, twisted faces of hate and confusion and anguish at all they had been cheated out of.....I  just can't promise that any of this shit would even phase me anymore. I can't promise that I wouldn't just walk around wishing that one of those "smart bombs" would come and take me away, too....I don't know that I'd be particularly effected anymore, at news of another beheading...or another bombing...or whatever else came. A lot of these people are living in hell...pure hell.

You could drown...a thousand men could drown...in all the tears, shed by all of the mothers...who had to cope with their precious babies being mutilated, mamed, or just *poof* "disappeared" in the midst of this terrible tragic violence. THAT is what is truly horrible, to me...the people who have no stake in any of this...who are just washed around in a sea of anger and hate and violence. Who have no choice, no means to escape. Jsut trapped in a death game...and they know they can't win...they just don't know how or how bad they're going to lose.

What makes me more mad than any of this...is how easy it is, to separate and label people. As if an Iraqi mother is any different than I am, in her heart. As if a young boy thrown into a world of militant extremism is any different than a confused young boy in a city, being scooped up into a gang, because there are really no other opportunities for control or sense of belonging for him.

We live in different places and have different oportunities, etc....but none of that is real. What is real, is the deepest part of us...we are all the same at the most basic level. One of us is no more important than the other...we all arrive on this planet in the same way...and we all one day make a similar exit. Death. The lies we believe and do not believe..the anger or love we choose to live out of in the middle of birth and death...are what end up defining us. I choose love, over anger and truth over lies...no matter where that leads me. I will not stand for any person being treated in any way that *I* wouldn't want to be treated or see my child treated...because I believe that we are all one. Torture *that guy*...and you may as well be torturing ME....and if I support you in torturing *that guy*...I am actively increasing the odds that someday you WILL  be torturing ME.

There was an article today where the gov't admits they've been sodomizing little iraqi boys they have imprisoned over there.

Rattydog said it far more eloquet, but Puke said it KISS style, Keep It Sweet and Simple.

On Fox News, of all places (but it was "Freedom Watch" with Judge Napolitano):

I always thought Shep Smith had that streak in him. It's good to see it come out.

[AntonLee]

shep is right.  Didn't watch the original video because the person that started the thread is acting stupid.

[penguinsscareme]

As far as I'm concerned we should show no mercy

My highest hope for you is that you will one day be ashamed of what you have said here.  It's a rough journey, but I made it, and so can you.

[akmisrmaadi]

sticky situation for a libertarian.

if you want to wait until they attack you, to "attack them back". thats ok i guess...

if you want to be a pacifist you will surely be dead, because people like these obviously only have one goal and will not compromise.

killing these people before they kill us is not torture, and is not wrong morally or otherwise. torturing people is wrong... ok... we get that.

No matter what you do these people will not respect you back, so the only option is to kill or be killed. i prefer to kill

[AntonLee]

are you "they" who is going to attack innocent people. . .sure sounds like it.

Or is "they" all those evil brown people.
