Compassion, Revenge and Justice

BakerStreet has called Saddam Hussein an "inhuman monster."

The KKK referred to blacks as inhuman (or subhuman).

Yes, Hussein was a monster, but he was human. If Baker had added an e, I would agree.

I know it's confusing in this day and age to know who deserves compassion and who doesn't, as some of my articles and comments will attest.

With all the talk from conservatives that liberals are atheists; with all the talk from conservatives that liberals love tyrants and dictators because some liberals try to make friends with them and show them some love and compassion, which is more Christ-like?

The power of love can melt the hardest heart.

If he was a monster, how could he have been humane? I guess I don't get it.

I'm not much on the death penalty because I don't think that it's right for just one person or even a group of humans to say "yay" or "nay" to someone else's life, no matter what that person has done, much like Saddam or someone like Timothy McVeigh, etc., etc. I don't think I have the wisdom to say that death is a "just" punishment for one's wrongdoings.

Frankly, I doubt that compassion or "love" as you call it would have melted Mr. Hussein's heart in the least, nor do I think he ever would have felt the least bit of remorse for how he treated his people at ALL, no matter how long he was kept alive. I still don't know if that makes it right to kill him or not. But I certainly don't think anyone could call him humane. Human? Sure. who isn't? But Saddam and humane are two words not usually used synonymously.

Come on. This from the guy with a blog titled: "Rappers are Woman Beaters: One More Good Reason to Hate Them". This ffrom someone who said in reference to policemen:

Me: "You would have uninvolved officers slaughtered during rioting?"

Iconoclast: "Yes, because they stick up for each other."

LW: "If they are aquitted after recieving a "fair hearing" you've still sentence them to death? Maybe because somewhere, sometime, some other cops were guilty of malicious shooting?"

Iconoclast: "Damn right."

You'll pardon me if I laugh at whatever stillborn, deformed sense of justice or compassion you have lodged in that proto-brain of yours. I dunno how you kept from getting banned from the site for your hateful When is it Proper to Slaughter Pigs? rant, but if you think you'll have an ounce of moral authority to condemn others for not being "Christ-like" after it, you're a bigger nut than you already seem to be.

INhumane.

I was pissed, Baker, and I said it's confusing. Besides, just because I'm not doesn't mean others shouldn't be.

It might not have worked with him, but maybe it will with some others.

Maybe you could tame the savage heart of "pigs" with kindness, instead of cheering on mobs to kill them...

Ummmm...no. You said this:

Yes, Hussein was a monster, but he was human. If Baker had added an e, I would agree.


I may be a moron, but where I come from, if I add an "e" to 'human' I get the word humane.

Furthermore, I am not Baker. You can post your responses to me.

I said if BAKER had added an e. He called Hussein inhuman.

The best laugh I've had all week is when no loved one of yours died when you said you were told they would. So much for your faith in the supernatural, lw.

You're such a liar


I thought I would play your game.

Did you get one last fuck from your father, or are you going to wait until he's dead?

You need to be banned. After promoting the killing of police, this, and the rest of your subhuman hijinks, there should be no strikes left.

no she will wait till he is dead... the sicker the better for this harridan

You're such a liar. I went to see them because I worried it might be the last Christmas for one of them, and I didn't want them to be alone. I'm sure you'll be delighted if one of them does kick the bucket before next December, but my real fear was of (myself) flying, asshole.



you were going to die - you had been touched by the angel of death ---- a little voice told you..... who is a bit cuckoo?

I am going to say goodbye. I have been visited by an Angel of Death, just a brief cold touch to my heart, and it uttered a single word..."GO."
...I will say my goodbyes to all of you as well, just in case.

I can't do this.

I must.

You don't argue with Angels.

Bye.

Now, go play with Lucas and jennifer. They're more your speed. Slow.


Icono Lucas and Jennifer do not need to play my dear - it is you and Baker that need to do a bit of growing up.

I think I know what is tolerated and what isn't. I've been around here since before there WAS a here, thanks. I walk a fine line sometimes, but there are some people, like you, and lucas, and iconoclast, that can't function in this kind of environment.

Folks like you are common online, and online is really the only place that you can limp on without holding your tongue or getting a bloody nose. Given that Iconoclast can't resist ratcheting up his rhetoric to top the last steamer he left on the forums, eventually he'll say the wrong thing at the wrong time. If it were my site, he'd have been gone at the "pigs" blog, but it isn't.

You and lucas can't handle discussions without taking them personally. Therefore you will always be the victim, steaming away and mourning your wounds. You're not good at it, so when you try and reciprocate you just make an idiot out of yourself and make yourself feel even worse.

Eventually, people like that implode, too. Over the years I've seen people like you come and go, and I have managed to hang around. Maybe tomorrow I'll forget to take my zinc and get myself exiled, who knows. Today, though, you can't really compare what I am to what you guys are, because you aren't even in the same ballpark.

Nope. AND THEY DON'T BEHAVE LIKE THAT IN THE GOOD OLD STREETS OF BAGHDAD, EITHER. THEY NEVER HAVE. THEY NEVER WILL. WHY FORCE OUR "AMERICAN" NOTIONS OF "COMPASSION" ON ALLAH WORSHIPPING SAND-NIGGERS ANYWAY? IS ALLOWING THE CONDEMNED A FAMILY VISIT BEFORE EXECUTION TRADITIONAL IN IRAQ? IF SO, WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE POOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BEHEADED ON CAMERA? DID THEY GET A VISIT? DID THE KURDS HE GASSED AND BURIED IN MASS GRAVES GET A VISIT


LW stopped responding on my thread after she made the racist remarks above..............a leopard NEVER changes its spots does it LW?

You are a racist and a bigot LW.
