    I'm pretty sure rushmc and others have confirmed that only Bill Cosby has ever spoken out about how black people sometimes behave. - Dan G

    I know, like when Obama tells black youth to pull up their pants, stay in school, and get a job! He might as well be rapping along to NWA. - Dan G

    I haven't seen the messge yet. I just wonder how many posts before someone asks, "where are all the black people speaking out against the riots?" - Dan G

    Okay, I'm still confused. What is wrong with the wussy men of today? Apparently it isn't that they respect their wives and have an equal loving relationship. That was what you originally implied. What's the problem? How exactly are modern men failing? And please don't refer me to the video, I want to hear your opinion. - Dan G

    Yes, realy. Bullshit. Give me just one example. I'm not sure how believing it is the foundation of our country's greatness is "wrapping myself up in it", but whatever. - Dan G

    Santa can be wherever the fuck he wants. He can be north of the north pole. The guy has elves. - Dan G

    How do you make those decisions? Is it always whatever the man wants,he gets? Personally, my wife and I discuss it and come to an agreement. My opinion doesn't carry any more weight than hers because I have a penis, and can beat her in a fist fight. - Dan G

    The people who condone any means necesary to stop terrorism are the real pussies. I'd rather be a little less secure from terrorism than sacrifice the values that made America great. If you're so terrified of the big bad terrorists, you don't have the stomach to TCB, wuss. - Dan G

    If you listen to some of the hardliners here, they think should be more like China in that regard. - Dan G

    I'm sure it seems that way to a conservative lobbying group. - Dan G

    So if the President and DOJ say it is legal, that makes it legal? Then why are the Republicans so upset about Obamacare? - Dan G

    I most emphatically did not agree with you. You really think combatants believe that they will be treated differently depending on how they get captured? What would give them that idea? Not international law, or recent history. The only way to give our enemies that idea is if we treat all prisoners like we're supposed to. If torturing prisoners is such a great way to get them to surrender, why would we be concerned about increased anti-US violence after the report was released? In your world, releasing this report should have led to a bunch of ISIL and AQ operatives turning themselves in. - Dan G

    The best way of achieving that end is treating them with respect if they are captured. In WWII, one of the reasons German soldiers chose to surrender to US forces is because they didn't want to be captured by the Russians. The fact that your fellow conservatives warned that releasing this report would lead to violence against Americans is proof that your thinking is backwards. Torturing prisoners doesn't make people want to become prisoners. - Dan G

    False dichotomy. Death of innocent civilians is not the only metric of whether an action is moral or not. I'm suprised how quickly you dismiss it out of hand. Whether or not it is effecitve is really not the root issue. It is against American values and laws. The police breaking into everyone's house and searching for weapons/drugs/removed mattress tags/whatever would be a very effective means of reducing crime. That doesn't make it right. - Dan G

    That case is not the same. The Marine wasn't acting on orders in a combat theater. He was a civilian breaking local laws. Being a Marine Reservist had nothing to do with anything. Joining the military is not a worldwide Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card. - Dan G

    That number is meaningless if guilty cops aren't being investigated or prosecuted. - Dan G
  18. DanG
    I disagree. When the people charged with preventing/investigating a crime are the ones committing the crime, it is a more urgent problem than the crime committed by regular people. That's true if we're talking about murder, or any other crime. - Dan G

    Don't you mean precious bodily fluids? - Dan G

    Drones, like guns, are an inanimate tool. They can be okay, it depends on how they are used. It's the action of using a tool that can be moral or immoral. The tool itself doesn't have morality. Torture is an action. It is never okay. - Dan G

    Very helpful. You're a great asset to the forum. Here's what I think. You are young and relatively inexperienced. I was a lot like you when I was younger. I was a staunch conservative, largely because that's how I was raised. Once I got out into thee world, traveled some, saw how the other half lived, and met different people, I moderated my views considerably. Hopefully you'll realize some day that it's okay to be open minded. "Liberals" aren't evil. They might even be right every now and then. - Dan G

    Was it the liberals who wanted Bergdahl to rot in Pakistan? Your post is utter bullshit. - Dan G

    So is cutting off finger toes and noses. So is burning sensitive areas. So is the rack. Does that make those methods not torture? BTW, professional interrogators know that torture does not produce the best intel. It produces intel, but not as good as other humane methods. So it's morally wrong, illegal, and less effective than legal and moral methods. Why do it at all? - Dan G

    Apparently I do. You replied to billvon saying you've been reading and laughing at the liberal replies. How are the replies liberal? - Dan G

    How are billvon's replies "liberal"? - Dan G
