I'm reminded of > them beheading that Russian soldier on live TV....is that because the > Russians were doing the same thing? The old eye for an eye philosophy? Who was the guy that said not to do that? Oh yeah, Jesus. So I guess that the people who claim to believe in him and follow him are complete morons, eh? So let me understand things better from your POV: if they had shot him in the head, would that have been better? What about if they injected him with the same lethal drugs used here in the US to execute people: would that have been OK? Or how about if they sent hi-tech jets over his house and fired smart bombs that killed him and his family instead? Would that make them civilized? There have been lots of killings on both sides. Our "leaders" want a terrified populace who will cowardly agree to anything that promises to make them safer, so of course they promote any video that shows "the enemy" as vicious and sub-human, while suppressing any images that show what our own people are doing to them. You are being manipulated big-time, and you're totally oblivious to it. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com 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.
