Because it makes them think that by punishing someone else for their sins, that it somehow absolves them of their own. At least, that's how it seems anyways.

Where'd the 'DRG for party' one come from? Wasn't that a legitimate post on here at one time?

Your point?

Before you pull up Hiroshima/Nagasaki, maybe you should do some research. After looking at every angle I could think of and writing several papers on it, myself and most of my peers were forced to determine that despite being horrific, ultimately it was the best option for both sides of the story.

You are right, and I can use what you are saying exactly for the first link posted in this topic. Hence why we have the lowest crime rate in the world, believe it or not.

Yes, after looking at it from every angle you decided that the bombings 65 years ago was the best option for both sides.



You really have no idea how absurdly arrogant you sound, do you?

The morality of the bombing of Hiroshima wouldn't make the first story any more or less moral. I think most of us can see it as an apples and oranges situation, i.e., it's not a useful comparison.

The reason why people are (were?) flipping out about it is because the man in question didn't do anything remotely deserving of death. Maybe he was a trickster and a fraud if he was getting people to believe in magic, but I should point out that nobody should get executed for practicing sorcery since magic doesn't *** exist.

As for the claim that you have the lowest crime rate in the world, I can't find a source that backs that up. Saudi Arabia does have a low murder rate (though I would argue that executing someone for sorcery counts as murder), but I've seen sources that put Yemen and Switzerland at lower rates (not counting Vatican City). And if you have a low crime rate because you execute every Joe and Jane who sneezes too loud, then I wouldn't be too smug about it.

As ignorant as you are, maybe it's time to enlighten you about what's happening in the world, first of all "America" is not the whole globe, if you don't know that yet.

1. Your country has been living off the world's resources (mainly ours).

2. Your country is killing (and supporting) the killing of millions of people through out the world.

3. Your citizens are the most ignorant people on earth, because your government want you to be like that. (hence why they invented Fox, Sky, etc.)

Before you tell me that bringing Hiroshima in the discussion is not useful, you are making a big deal about killing a witch or w/e, where your "Satanic government" is killing people everywhere (and even your own soldiers).

And the bigger problem is that you are DEFENDING THE DECISION OF THE NUCLEAR BOMB!

Just how ignorant can you be.

The reality of all of this is proven history ~ right or wrong the strongest are the masters of their domain, to use and do as they see fit. This is the cold hard fact of humanity. There will always be the weak; and empires will always fall, to give way to the next strongest empire. Some nation/country/alliance/kingdom/whatever will always be at the top of the "food chain", like it or not, right or wrong.

To see why (for now at least) we're at the top of the food chain - here's a few youtubes of brutal reality regarding technology and its advantages:









Lastly.. for the dreamers: Avatar is a movie - nothing more, pure entertainment for the emotions.

Do I wish we'd "all get along"? sure. Do I wish we'd all we'd no longer have wars and everyone would have peace? sure.

Unfortunately I have to deal with reality. Life's a *** and then you die.

What I don't get is that in the US, if people started putting "witches" to death or started killing people who left the Christian faith off, the public would be in an uproar. They wouldn't sit there trying to justify themselves by the actions of others, "Oh, well, this country did WAAAY worse!"

Why do you defend this absurd, meaningless death, when you should be questioning the morality of it? Instead, you view it as an attack on your society or culture. Yeah, right, like any culture should allow you to kill apostates or fake *** witches.

Anyone with any ounce of morality can see that killing on the idea of him being a "witch" alone is completely unjustified.

With all due respect to all,

Saudi religious people need to understand the difference between future prediction and harmful black magic practice, I am sure all of you had some sort of déjà vu in your lives and told it to someone else and came true (too much Final destination ^^). I say send the guy back to his country if you don’t have any evidence of using black magic to hurt or separate people from each other.

Peace.

Aw look, Naruto avatar kid thinks he's people. :)

Let's address this point by point.

2. Your country is killing (and supporting) the killing of millions of people through out the world.
If you're Saudi Arabian, I'd say the folks in charge of the oil there have been more than willing to sell it to us. Personally I think a lot more could be done to reduce foreign oil dependency, but don't act like we're stealing it from Saudi Arabia, we pay for it. And I'd actually agree that my country should probably be spending less time overseas and solving its own problems. Regardless, however, these are both non-sequiturs. The morality of those actions, right or wrong, doesn't excuse the death sentence for someone so totally harmless. Wrong is wrong, and you still don't seem to understand that "Yeah, but your country..." doesn't make another immoral action correct.

If I murder someone, then you murder someone, we are both wrong. My crime doesn't make yours excuseable. Is this really a difficult concept?
Ragnarok.Vitaru said:
3. Your citizens are the most ignorant people on earth, because your government want you to be like that. (hence why they invented Fox, Sky, etc.)
And yet our government doesn't sanction the killing of "witches," because we understand that magic isn't real. Seems like you think this has been some personal attack, otherwise you wouldn't be resorting to petty insults. I'd agree that a lot of my fellow citizens are ignorant, but again, what the hell does this have to do with the issue at hand?
Ragnarok.Vitaru said:

CAPS LOCK FOR EMPHASIS!
And no, no I am not, I didn't take a position on it. Sectumsempra did, while I pointed out that it was, like most of your points, a non-sequitur. Whether the bombing was wrong or right would not affect the morality of that "witch" getting the death sentence.
Ragnarok.Vitaru said:
Just how ignorant can you be.
I think I've displayed that I know how to disect your little "argument," and if you think I'm intimidated by a sentence fragment insult, then you're really "ignorant."

Oh, and to my other "silly" point, you still failed to prove that Saudi Arabia has "the lowest crime rate in the world." That source put Saudi Arabia fairly low, and I say more power to ya, but your claim is still false.

Tell me, how does that crow taste? :)
