"For me, your argument deteriorated fast when you started getting into a pissing match (na-na-na-boo-boo) with people instead of sticking to what you were originally trying to say. But mostly, I'm just pissed that you would wish capture and torture on somebody. I think that in relation to what he said, it was way over the top."
You're right. I should have just met the worded attack with the same force as he used in his against me. I should have just wished death to him, instead of torture. MY BAD.

I agree with you! But too many of us have way too much unfocused anger. I'm FOR taking the culprits down, some of you think I'm totally against any and all retaliation. but for killing off everyone in a country JUST BECAUSE they're citizens of that country isn't right in MY OPINION. What do you get out of killing innocent people? I know that's what's war is all about, but no one ever said war was right either. If every single civillian had a part in the massacre, then FINE, ok? Something should be done to stop this from happening again, but killing everyone who has the potential to harm us and who are from a certain country because they have a possibility to turn into a terrorist in the future isn't the answer. It makes you a monster. Why not go kill every american male because Tim Mcveigh was a white american male, and look whathe did.

If Afghanistan is funding them, then FINE take out the political leaders of Afghanistan. I just don't understand why the entire populace has to be taken out. NOT ALL of the people over there wish harm on the U.S and it's people. I'm sure a majority of them do, but there is still that minority of people that don't deserve to be harmed. I value all good people in general, of any race or country. Why don't you?

I know, and I personally don't agree with that whole thing as to how just because you don't live in a country, you're automatically considered to be less of a person than those who reside in it. With that alone, you will never have world peace,there will always be some angst.
