Reply to The Torture songs revealed! in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

It's not the songs, it's the way they are used. Kinda like the way a Navy Seal can kill a guy with his own fingernail clippings. How ingenuous to look at the crumbled, lifeless form on the floor and snort, "Pfft! It's just a fingernail, you baby!" But it seems your opinion is that anything short of bamboo shoots under the nails or a white-hot poker up the wazoo isn't torture, and that even those are okay under whatever scenarios you feel justify them. Funny thing about justifications, o

[quote]Kinda like when somebody tells me they never ever watch tv.[/quote] I watch TV. I don't turn it on, don't even plug it in. I just sit for hours staring at the blank screen. Very soothing. Sometimes I see things in it anyway. Scary things. But always fascinating things. TV is so cool. Like when the cat talks to me and tells me to do things. Sometimes I don't want to do the things he tells me, but I have to live with him and it's best to keep tranquility in the ho

[quote]One of the ladies asked what the difference was between a martyr and the Islam extremists blowing themselves up for their faith.[/quote] I'm surprised the question had to be asked. I wrote an article once (not here) called, "Can You Really Martyr Yourself?" My opinion is, no. To me a martyr is someone whose faith is used by others as an excuse to kill them, not someone who decides to go kamikaze "in the name of God."

[quote]I don't remember who invited me, though, and that's a key part of the info they want if they are to talk to you about recovering your account.[/quote] Holy crap. They expect people to remember that after possibly years? What if it was just some random stranger doing you a good? Or someone who posted the invite links on someplace like JoeUser for a "first come first served" grab fest (which I saw done many times)?

[quote]"We need to talk."[/quote] I don't have a problem with talking... I talk incessantly... I need a woman who talks... no, the problem with that particular phrase is it means " I think something is seriously wrong which I have been thinking and thinking about for ages and I'm about to seriously and irrevocably dump all over you." The ambush is on.

By the way, Zoomba, I know you're putting a lot of work into this overhaul. Please don't take my objections personally. I still like you! I just hate the direction it looks to me this community is headed. (Or should I say the interface to the community?) Change works best gradually. Even though I'll probably move my main blog elsewhere, I'll still maintain some kind of presence here. I just wish I didn't feel it's going
