GostHacked Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 It's not much of a point really. Also is this not how Saddam when down and people cheered? Quote

GostHacked Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Your claim was that the United States shoots protesters in cold blood as per Iran. I think the topic was about Iran backing away from a Nuclear program... or did the thread get derailed? Quote
DogOnPorch Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I think the topic was about Iran backing away from a Nuclear program... or did the thread get derailed? By page 9 of the endless re-hash of the Middle East Pt LXXXVIII we have gotten to the point where moral equivalence comes into play. I go: "They're barbarians." Then you go: "We're the real barbarians." Rinse...repeat... Edited January 3, 2013 by DogOnPorch Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

GostHacked Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Meh...I don't start these things. But I do finish them. I'll let you have this one, since it means so much to you. Make your last post and I will leave the thread to you. Quote
DogOnPorch Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 It doesn't work that way. Anyone can post in these threads. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Signals.Cpl Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 His name was Kelly Thomas. I think one of his father's friends who supported them was a vet ... either way a man is dead. http://en.wikipedia....of_Kelly_Thomas Yes, either way the man is dead but you still used false information to garner some sort of reaction... If I die and my father's friend was PM Harper does that make me the PM? Irrelevant, cops are not supposed to be like this. But it is happening, and many are let off..... why? And people are not supposed to rape and murder each other but they do and even though their actions are criminal many get let off so what does that say about us as a civilization when we let the rapists and murderers run free? Police officers are let off for various reasons but it is hardly a surprise that some of them would be bad apples just look at the total number of police officers in the US(706,886), what you are saying is that the actions of a few dozen or even a few hundred police officers is indicative as to the qualities and loyalties of the other 700,000 or more officers in the US. There is no comparison between the actions of a very small % of the total police force that are contrary to the law and government direction vs. the actions of a police force which has the government and law to support their position. http://appsso.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/nui/submitViewTableAction.do?dvsc=9 http://latimesblogs....homas-case.htmlWhat is sad is that a person is dead at the hands of police who think they are above the law. many police departments are corrupt and cover up this kind of thing. Unless you have some evidence to substantiate that "many" police departments are corrupt and cover up this kind of thing I would stay away from labelling 700,000 people with the crimes of a few dozen or a few hundred of their colleagues. Listen to the cop at the start when he puts on the gloves telling Thomas he is about to get 'fucked up'. That is not a peace officer, that is a goddamn thug. And see how many cops got off for this kind of behavior. How many? Do tell, and please refrain from the unsubstantiated and very vague condemnation of hundreds of thousands of people without providing any sort of evidence that "many" are and/or were involved in crimes of any sort. But the thing is, the police beatings are widespread and not really reported in the MSM. What it widespread? Are we talking about 500,000 officers beating people in the streets or are we talking about the actions of a few who beat people in the street... Not everyone who has cried wolf has actually seen a wolf... Quote Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst
GostHacked Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Yes, either way the man is dead but you still used false information to garner some sort of reaction... And I corrected myself. But I'll leave this for another thread. Quote
jbg Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 Surprise, surprise. The topic turns to Israel and the evilly evil those evil evildoers do. Of course it does when the issue involves the ability of another country to wipe it out. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
