Conversation Between Vincent, Thunder God and nik0tine

  1. You know nik0tine...

    There may have been several times that I've dissagreed with you, but as I was reviewing the old thread on Saddam Hussein's impending execution (I've been giving it a lot of thought since he was recently executed, and I wanted to read over people's posts from when it was first announced) I found your comments to be mirroring my own thoughts, at that very moment, as I read. I wanted to compliment you on your highly intelligent and mature views, because few these days really look at things this way, it seems. These are the posts I particularly agreed with...

    I will say that if I were a Kurd I would definetly want him dead. That doesn't mean it's right to do so, and just because I want something doesn't mean I should get it. I'm not entitled to take someones life, neither was Saddam, and neither is anyone else.

    Don't tell me what I should be happy about. I know what I believe in and I know that executions are wrong. You act like I'm standing up for Hussein and I'm clearly not. I think you need to read my post a second time.

    Death is a fitting end for Hussein. I'm not defending him. It's just that there is no one with the authority to decide if he lives or dies.
  2. Hey, nothing wrong with a little friendly protest.

    But let us wait for the moment to be ripe, such as on April Fool's.

    Then we can have our rebellion!
  3. I, too, have had many an annoyance over the low sig restrictions. My own sig has been custom-tailored repeatedly to fit them.
  4. Everybody always makes my sigs too big and I'm too computer dumb to know how to abide by the restrictions.
  5. Even nik0tine feels the strain of sig restrictions.
  6. It can't be nik. He has referred to the picture as "that woman."
  7. I have absolutely no clue.
  8. Who is that person in your infamous profile picture? I've seen it so many times now that I simply must know!
