*d* don't sweat the "all or nothing crowd". They just like blanket slogans like: --- If you are not with us you are against us. Any criticism of Dubya is an attack on the US Iraq has WMD Iraq was responsible together with Al Qaeda in the 9/11 attacks Saddam and Osama bin Ladin are...

Abraham Foxman, the director of the Anti-Defamation League summed it up quite well. "It's like comparing suffering, one doesn't need to parse evil. Dictatorships are evil and it's not a matter of degree." [This was in response to another dumb ass comment by Italian Prime Minister Silvio...

Hehehe Morals eh? I guess you have an authoritative understanding of absolute moral principles. Moral/Ethics are variable to a given society. Certain previous societies viewed homosexuality as immoral. Current society is on the verge of the acceptance of homosexuality. Certain ancient...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: What's your point? I guess it is statements like these that I have a problem with in this thread. Evil is evil. Killing innocent children is killing innocent children! Some people's evil is not MORE evil than others; unless you are being entrapped by the same ideology...

Glorified? To who? Those who were already mesmerized or those who despised him? Does the film glorify him to you? Helped Hitler? That is debatable. Was the US media who propagated the Jessica Lynch fiction responsible for the US victory in Iraq? Maybe. Yes!!! However I do not believe that...

We were talking about Leni. Is a corporate videographer for Dow Chemical (the manufacturer of Agent Orange ) responsible for the birth defects of Vietnamese children? Are you boycotting Dow Chemical because of it? Leni was definitely an amoral opportunist, but her being a Nazi or directly...

Re: Re: I'm so god damn drunk.... Sorry buddy but Thujone is no more of a poison than alcohol. Consume too much of either and ... well it is poisonous. The big kafuffle over absinthe was brought about by an alliance of two unlikely partners, the French wine industry and prohibitionists. Van...
