Feel the terror he made other innocent people feel as he personally ended THEIR lives in the most unbelievable grisly manner. And his suffering should have been broadcast worldwide over the internet like he did to his victims.

Originally Posted By berol Everything the US does over there seems to have an eyewitness that claims an atrocity. After awhile, it all becomes a bit unbelievable.

We're talking about the US Army here.
Originally Posted By mele I wrongfully assumed that Dirk was a Christian because he is friends with, and shares so many other opinions with Beau. It is true, however, that many of the same people who tell me that I am amoral because I don't shun homosexuality, are the same people who laughed at the Abu Graib (sp?) scandal and profess to not care how prisoners are treated at all. There is a definite double standard there and while I was mistaken for accusing Dirk of it, it definitely exists. I find it disturbing.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip Yup... I usually fall on the liberal side or things. But with this guy, my number one wish is that they'd sliced his freaking head off while he was still alive enough to know what was happening. That probably makes me a piss-poor Christian, but I don't really care.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<Yeah, but you guys (SPP and RT) don't tell other people that they aren't good Christians. There's a big difference.>> Yes, there is. A person who truly followed the example of Christ would have never wished something like I wished. I wished it anyway. I'm not perfect, I never claimed I was a great Christian, and I would never tell someone else that they weren't. That is between them and God.

Are you referring to me, the original poster? Because if you are you have the wrong person. I am not a christian. I dont go to church. Is all the sarcasm you have thrown at me mele because I dont hate Beau or share some of his opinions? Newsflash: Beau and I dont agree on many things. But we get along just fine because I respect his right to opinions and he respects mine.
