Powerful meme....

40 000 civillians...

I would gag if I would have anything to do with such genocide....

...gladly I don't, nor do I congratulate those of you who have participated to such an act.

How does the intent of the meme have anything to do with murdering 40,000 civilians?  You must be much better at seeing what you want out of things than I.

Why is her bed humble? Does it subscribe to the ways of Buddhism or just naturally enlightened?

After further consideration I wonder what Jesus would say .....

Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy; But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those whose persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Mt. 5.43-46

Well, that's the last big war of the country that the said person would be part of. Simply as that.

Sorry about my figures....they were a bit of the low side: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_War_documents_leak

Like I said, I'm so glad I have zero to do with it. Disgusting.

Whenever someone says 'what would Jesus do' I try to remind them that flipping tables and chasing people with a whip is within the possibilities.

Why does casting pearls before swine seem so fitting to the garbage heap this thread has become?

Skuzzy, lock this thread as nothing good will follow.....

It is a powerful meme and I hesitate to comment as being powerful it is polarizing and emotional. I would love to believe that all of America's best qualities were honed to a spear point dropped from the air to fight righteous battle against evil enemies persecuting weak innocents. but I simply cannot and I feel that such simplification, while appealing, is dishonest and does not honor the complex, dirty, and morally ambiguous nature of the world. Would that it were so and that we could be righteous samurai, but it isn't and we cannot.

My opinion.

[FBKampfer]

Not only that, Pembquist, but such simplifications are dangerous as well.

Granted it's going in the opposite direction, but it was a simplification of thinking that allowed the holocaust.

Now I'm not saying this necessarily will lead to a second holocaust, but it could lead to a second tier of citizenship (something which, while already in place for all practical purposes, does violate the very principal of equality which stands as one of our core tennents.

People thinking in terms of simplification are people thinking stupid. And the stupid are easy to manipulate.

It's indeed a naïve chest thumper meme. Still cool.

You make some remarkable leaps without regard to logic or decency simply for the convenience of serving your shallow self righteous arrogance.  Your statements are indeed profound and detract from your humanity in that you say what you want to serve your agenda without any respect for truth.  Maybe at some point you will achieve the level of self respect necessary to understand that how you treat others is reflective of you far more than them.  There is simply no relationship between this meme and your agenda.

LOL!!!!!!!! Your rite! I will have to find use of that some time in the future.

You find killing innocent people a-ok, I personally don't like the idea too much, regardless if one wears an uniform or flies a plane into a building without one.

I don't see any need to have respect for those who kill innocent civillians "just to be on the safe side".

No respect, none what so ever.

Where does it advocate " those who kill innocent civillians "just to be on the safe side"." ??  No where.

These statements have what to do with the subject?  To an honest mind, absolutely nothing.  You are creating connections where they do not exist beyond your own contrivances and are the product of your personal weakness.  Have enough respect for yourself to not reveal them to the world as it will most likely come back to undermine you in the future.
