Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Well we can't stop drug dealers and child molesters, what does that say about us? It's easier said than done. I'd imagine that plenty of Iraqis would like the violence would stop. But the Americans OBVIOUSLY cannot protect them, so they're gonna clam up. The don't know democracy - they know intimidation, and their reactions are ingrained. When we can do a better job of protecting civilians, it'll improve. And don't tell me it's up to the Iraqi police and military to protect themselves. We assumed that responsibility when we invaded. We bought it, it's ugly, and it's all ours. 381835[/snapback] And for the most part we are. Even *IF* the number of 60 attacks is right, that's still low for a nation of 20+ million people.
Wacka Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Well we can't stop drug dealers and child molesters, what does that say about us? 381835[/snapback] Yes we can. Shoot down the unlighted, unmarked planes smuggling the drugs in. First castrate the molesters, then fry them on ole sparky. But we are too pansyassed to do this. Just as the world was in the early 70s when Arafat and his group killed the Olympic athletes. If the world would have retaliated swiftly and strongly, terrorism would not have flourished. Israel did the best they could eventually tracking down and executing those responsible (except for Arafat).

Reuben Gant Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 First castrate the molesters, then fry them on ole sparky. 382117[/snapback] Do you think we need to change "no Cruel and Unusual" in the constitution? I think it maybe fun if we do embrace Cruel and Unusual: We could inject Elephantitis into their scrotums until they request that their 9 lbs nutsack be removed for cosmetic purposes. Victims Happy, Cosmetic Surgeons Happy, Future Neighbors happy.

So whilst you might be comfortable with those statistics, I bet you don't get many takers in Iraq.

Victims Happy, Cosmetic Surgeons Happy, Future Neighbors happy. I'm against cruel and unusual punishment. Felons convicted of heinous crimes should have a choice between hanging and firing squad, and it should be done in short order as to not further weigh on them.

And, hey, maybe removing their genitalia will finally help them become functioning members of society.

Sheesh. It's time that the Sunnis were either put in their place or do something about their own issues.

Evil, capatilist infidels!...

SilverNRed Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Shells?!? I thought you peeled the eggs before you added them 382656[/snapback] I thought step one was slicing the eggs.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 I thought step one was slicing the eggs. 382659[/snapback] No, step 1 is boiling the pasta to make it soft. Step 2 is frying it to make it crunchy.

Ghost of BiB Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 I was going to put up my London Broil recipe, but I'm not sure I could take the abuse.
Wacka Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 The scary part is that you actually believe that! 382645[/snapback] Tell me where I'm wrong. That is the first instance I can remember of terrorism working. If there was swift retribution back then, maybe they would have thought twice on trying it again.

If there was swift retribution back then, maybe they would have thought twice on trying it again. 382745[/snapback] There was a truck bombing that killed many Marines in Beirut that worked pretty well too. I don't think there was any retribution for that. Reagan's pragmatism.
