Rachel Corrie Killed?

Recommended Posts

There was a woman named Rachel Corrie who was killed in Israel recently, run over by a tank. I'm hoping that wasn't a picture of her body.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

if you have to see that to learn that it is a bad idea, you have many other problems that need to be dealt with first!

Given your position on things, I would think you'd have a little more respect for someone who died for what they believed in. Remember, what goes around comes around.

Good for her, she died for what she believed in, but was it necessary? For the love of God she stood in front of a machine she knew would kill her! She could have moved but chose not too. Why exactly are we supposed to feel sorry for her? She essentially took her own life; a lot of good she'll do for the movement now.

I have no sympathy for this woman; she stood in front of a bull dozer and didn't get out of the way. She's an idiot, correction, she _was_ an idiot.

It's not as though she died rescuing kittens from a burning building. Why are we supposed to respect her?

I don't respect anyone that lays down in front of a ten ton bulldozer. Taking a bullet trying to save your brothers is one thing but laying down and dying because you don't want a building torn down is NUTS.

Would you call a firefighter who ran into a burning building about to collapse, and died as a result, an idiot?

OK, a marine runs into a crossfire and dies. He knows he's going to die, and he's not going to save anyone. Is he an idiot?

If the firefighter ran into the building for the purpose of saving the building, yes. If he ran into the building to save another human being, no.

Tell me Bill, was the bulldozer about to run over a family of Palistinians? I'll bet if it was that they were smart enough to move.

OMG Bill....

Keep trying....

IF a Marine just RUNS into a crossfire for no reason.. Not trying to take a bullet for someone or draw fire from his brothers YES he is an idiot. Are you happy? What point are you trying to make?

No, he runs into a crossfire because he's ordered to. Not to save anyone. Not to draw fire. Not because he thinks that's where safety is. He's ordered to advance and he does. Is he an idiot?
