Ever heard of Somalia? yeah stfu, Clinton is a good president but he did send our troops into a couple hot zones.

Bush tried to help our schools with the no child left behind, even though its not really working, he still is trying.  Also giving more money to school programs.  trying to fix social security
He has given more money to schools, also more to the inner city schools.
I know what kinds of 'torture' are going on down there, but I would like you to list the 'tortures' that are going on, just to see if you actually know what your talking about.

Under the patriot act, police do need a reason for entering your house.  There is no free lancing here.

please turn off capslock. 

Last thing:  Terrorists diserve to be tortured, many torture methods are actually pretty nice, but Im not going to say them untill you reply to this to see if you know what Im talking about.  We have also been torturing prisoners for many years, even before Bush.

My Opinion:  Bush isn't the best president, but hes ok.  I only get angery when people rant on and on and on and on about how bad he is.

Hey, I'll take a couple hot zones over an entire war any day of the week.

I pray that you're not supporting the patriot act. I mean, do you not know how unamerican it is? It's more like, "Give the government even more power act." And the sad thing is, people feel we need it. Therefore making terrorists win. They made you be afraid of them (That's why they're called terrorists, because they cause, keyword here: "Terror"), so you're willing to giving up some of your liberties to ensure that you sleep better at night. You know, liberties that people fight for in the first place.

Give a government power, and they'll abuse it. This patriot act gives them way too much power. The people have no voice anymore. They now much rely on elections which are being questioned, "are they rigged or not?" Nice democracy we got going on.

Ya, you're right. They do need a reason to arrest you. (They can simply lie, and tell everyone that you're a terrorist, or a threat to the country) However, they don't need to tell any body about it, since they can get you on a military trial, and have you sent to death with out anyone ever knowing about it. I mean, our government is corrupted as it is, why be happy with something that makes it even MORE corrupt.

The patriot act is bullshit. The true patrioc act is the constitution, and they don't go together at all. One of the reasons why I'm a liberal, is because I believe in the American constitution. If this was the 50's, the paranoid conservatives would label the patriot act a communist tactic to bring our country down. Now they rejoice over it.

Do or do not, there is no try. The No Child Left Behind Act failed beautifally just like the California Prop 13.

Torture is not a fair trial. It is a cruel and inumane way to extract evidence from someone.

People should be punished badly but not tortured. Torture isn't punishment, because it there is no justice or w/e in torture sometimes.

DT, Check the definition before you start stating stuff like that. You got it mixed up with violent interrogation.

Mill, tortue is punishment. That's not up to debate at all. Wether it's a good punishment or not, THAT'S, what is up to debate.

Actually, torture can fall into the category of "punishment". But it may not always be this way.

I can torture you for fun. That's not a punishment. wink.gif

Regardless of what the 'dictionary' says, in 80% of all historical instances, torture has been used as an attempt to extract information from someone, not to punish them for a crime.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Loser_Musician on 2005-06-20 at 00:52:44
How in the hell did you get that percentage? It sounds like you just pulled it out of your ass.

Torture has been used like that, yes, of course, infact I agree with you on that, and I never said I didn't. (Reread my posts, seriously)

All I did was point out the difference between torture and violent interrogation. They're not the same thing. Hell, I even have the Dictionary on my side. All you're doing right now, is digging yourself deeper. You could've just said, "oops, I assumed wrong, honest mistake." And this would've been over really fast, really easy

EDIT: Since you've been having trouble reading my replies, let me makes it a little bit easier on what I stand on real fast.

Torture = Is able to be good.

Violent Interrogation w/ out a fair trial = Not good at all, unless under very special circumstances. Like there is a huge bomb about to go off in 10 min.

Bush helping our schools eh? Okay, go ahead and believe that crap that's being said about that. The "No Child Left Behind" is a stupid idea. It makes it so you have to take tests to pass High School. These aren't your average finals either. It is stupid, and retarded tests that make it so if you fail, you're "To stupid" to pass high school. And what has Bush said about "Alternative Schools"? He says those are schools for "Retarded" people. You know what? Piss on him for saying that. "Alternative" schools are more than just "Retard" schools.

Trying to fix social security? HA! That is the funniest thing I have heard. All he is doing is destroying Social Security. He want's to be able for young people like us, to invest our Social Security into "Stock" so we can get it raised higher. That is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard of in my life. Turn a constant into a variable, really, really smart.....

The Patriot Act gives the local law enforcment, the privlages to do anything, and everything they want that invaids your personal freedoms (Which goes against the American Bill of Rights) That gives them the power to come into my home, and wire-tap, and install everything they want that will take away my privace (and believe it, the cops here are just that dirty)

Torturing people is nice? Since when has the word torture been associated with nice? Does the word not induce thoughts into your head of pain and suffering? The word torture cannot have any nice things associated with it. It is a word that means sadamising people. Since when is that nice?

Oh, and "Terrorists deserve to be tortured" eh? Guess we better start torturing people in the white house, cause all it is full of is terrorists....

ask your girlfriend to shit on your face, you're gonna see what human beings can really be victim of.

other information:
no need to close the eyes, the american education system is one of the worst for a wealthy country.
lot of people think that canada belongs to US,
And even Bush didnt know where France were, or if Spain is ruled by a king or a president.

There are three things I know:

I am not well versed on the situation
I am not old enough to vote
Kerry didn't look like a better candidate
Kerry stepped down during the final stage because there was no use fighting it. What does that say about his character?
Its too late to pull out of Iraq
Crying about it isn't going to change anything
Oh, and I don't like Michael Moore. I saw a part of Bowling for Columbine and it sucked. mellow.gif

In closing, I'd like to quote OK Go to the liberal nutcases:
"Get get get get get over it."

If these "stupid" people actually pass high school, they are going to be "left behind" in the real world. They're not going to be as smart, they're going to be jobless due to their lack of quality education, etc. And once just a few of these people come out into the real world, they'll produce more stupid people and their stupid kids would produce more stupid people and so on. Soon, our country is going to go dumb (if it hasn't already) and our country will collapse. So with this "No Child Left Behind" Act, Bush is making sure that all kids that enter the Real World will not be too dumb and if they are too dumb, they will receive special education to boost themselves back up.
