That man had belief strong enough that his life wasn't worth the greater point he was making. Do you know what it was? Obviously not since you just learned of it. So take a moment...

What cause would you give your life for?

Think about that for a while. What would motivate you to place your life in harms way? What cause would devote your last full measure toward?

An idea? An individual? A mineral? An inanimate object? An emotion? A wrong? A right?

Put your fingers down, don't type. Think for a while.
I Guess I need to understand my beliefs differ from others, I believe killing yourself for anything is wrong, but that's just me. Death really disturbs me, I don't like the idea of a person killing him or herself

I was taught that the Vietnam war was fought to stem the flow of Communism into Asia.

All the advocates of Communists I ever knew never lived in a Communist society and usually had a bigger car and house than me.

Emotions and politics make people do some crazy stuff, huh?

Dont forget religion.

My idea of waterboarding...

Intellectually? For my loved ones
In actuality? For that guy on my right side and the one on my left side.

Torture is torture.

It seems the general consensus here is it's okay as long as it's the good guys that are doing the torturing?

Torture has never proven to be a reliable method of gathering intelligence.

Are you all retarded?
