They'd ask "what if the victim was a family member or friend?" My response was "What if it were your family member or friend mistakenly executed?" That's particularly relevant here in Illinois.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-5933614402234284212007-05-31T19:46:00.000-05:002007-05-31T19:46:00.000-05:00Big O, my avatar is a pic of Frank, done by the ta...Big O, my avatar is a pic of Frank, done by the talented Jim Woodring.<BR/>Great, great stuff.<BR/><BR/>You get twenty points for the segueway, "Now then, on to torture."Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-53183467584944348872007-05-31T19:37:00.000-05:002007-05-31T19:37:00.000-05:00Splotchy!!

Especially PigMan.<BR/><BR/>while I'm uttering non sequitors, I read in an old copy of Mean magazine that Sellers had a career in which he played 90 DIFFERENT characters. Ooooh, I bow before him!!<BR/><BR/>Now then, on to torture. Part of the problem is that your average Amerikun would LOVE to be DOING the torturing themselves-- and whipping with electrical cords would be child's play, I'm sure. As long as we put power-mongers into office, we'll have this sort of reaction. Clinton may've been a Bubba, but if the worst he did was get a blowjob, then we should count ourselves lucky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-63864937562728617682007-05-31T15:00:00.000-05:002007-05-31T15:00:00.000-05:00Oh, I initially misread your post, thinking Rudy w...Oh, I initially misread your post, thinking Rudy was the one sole voice against it.<BR/><BR/>McCain's stance against torture reminds me of an online argument I had with a Republican a while back.<BR/><BR/>I argued that Republicans often tout their beliefs regardless of the consequences of individuals affected by those beliefs, except when the consequences affect them personally.<BR/><BR/>I realize this is a trait people of all political stripes share, but I was the middle of a political pissing match at the time.<BR/><BR/>I brought up the Brady Bill, saying the only way a Republican would support gun control legislation would be for them to get shot in the head.<BR/><BR/>Not exactly a tasteful thing to say, but it got my point across.Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-77411039103986974952007-05-31T13:59:00.000-05:002007-05-31T13:59:00.000-05:00What do you expect when the "journalists" asking t...What do you expect when the "journalists" asking them about the issue of torture are asking them questions posed within B movie hypotheticals?vikkitikkitavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501311175482530001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-83706407599704604752007-05-31T13:56:00.000-05:002007-05-31T13:56:00.000-05:00Hopefully, a B-movie where everyone throws popcorn...Hopefully, a B-movie where everyone throws popcorn and then walks out.GETkristiLOVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873004576844292852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-72795004213906423752007-05-31T13:30:00.000-05:002007-05-31T13:30:00.000-05:00He was, to his credit, the sole voice against it. ...He was, to his credit, the sole voice against it.
