Lol, yep kill the country that wants the virtues - and supports em better than your own. /cheer You constantly bitch about misstreatment and crap cause its documented - I am sure your country has never had a police brutality, or some Ahole that woke up on the wrong side of the bed one day and snapped. Don't be hypocritical in yoru judgments.Quote:
after that human equality and freedom would be nice.
Personally, the human race is great. Its our focus on becoming rich and owning a 100k car that is rediculous.

No my thinking was that with the rest of the world out of the way, we would have no need for Bush, and we could go back to swords and bows.Quote:

"Lol, yep kill the country that wants the virtues - and supports em better than your own." why is america better than my country?
We don't have torture camps.
I am emphatically against the UN.
guantanamo bay is a torture camp. it breaches the human rights charter and practices torture.
There is no use arguing this, because your incorrect apprasial has been brought up time and time again of this issue alone. We do not have torture camps.Quote:

it's a camp in which people are tortured. torture is defined in the human rights charter. the tactics in use in guantanamo breach it.
That is not condoned by the government. I wouldn't rationalize torture as being acceptable, but this is not some government-endorsed, American-citizen endorsed practice.Quote:

Another thing to mention is that while certain agencies within the US government, in that sense, is legally allowed to utilize torture in extreme circumstances, does not mean that the entire governmental system is flawed. I disagree with torture, too. Trying to undermine my arguments - all of them - by resorting to "Americans support torture omg" is childish. (By the way, you asked earlier - is it that tactic that is called "argumentum ad hominem").
While we're on Latin phrases, there is another one I would like to present: ad hoc. It is a solution that is geared toward a specific purpose. If you or I or anyone wants to accomplish anything, it is this that we must utilize to solve anything. Rather than destroy the entire US government, we must attack whatever aspects of our government that condones torture, and then drop the issue when it is resolved.
Perhaps more than anything it is the overemotional, irrational side of your arguments that makes any other real aspect hidden - I don't feel like talking with anyone that bashes America for no apparent reason, but I'm willing to talk about certain practices we should abolish.
so you hat eme? how can oyu hate americans. lol most of them are either poor and have a lot of other problems than to worry about the international politic scheme.Quote:

when i say america i mean it's government that is so into torture it produces a manual on how to commit it. then changes it's own laws about it. and makes a whole camp dedicated to the idea.
ad it's not extreme circumstances. well while holding and torturing a 10 year old boy is pretty extreme, and blinding a prisoner and torturing innocents. it isn't in itself odd. it is committed greatly in there. people are exported to horrible countries if their methods aren't working.
and i attack the whole american government not over one flaw but a huge list of crimes, failures and evils.
Oh i mean us minorities lol most of us are poor.Quote:

But seriously the poor americans really are concerned with themselves because they have to be in order to survive.
