Very intense. Those poor people. Things like that really stir up a person's moral fibers and anger them. It's hard to think "tolerance" when you see that kind of thing (and terrible that it was true and not fiction). I don't want to force my religion on those whackos but I'll gladly send them back to Allah if they want to be a martyr and harm us. The comment recently (perhaps from Steve?) about public hangings...hmmm.......I'd gladly be in favor of that again. Many times our "civility" seems to be helping evil. I'm not saying "cut off their heads" like the f*ckin terrorists did to that poor Russian soldier (iirc) in Iraq...that's barbaric. But I would like to see justice start winning moreso nowadays and strike a swift blow to evil. (Probably something that sounds good in theory I guess but not realistic.) _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
