"If you were captured by the Taliban or some other terrorist group, strapped to a board and waterboarded to within an inch of your life, would you complain?"

Hell yes, I'd complain. I'd also tell them anything I knew that would stop it from continuing. THAT IS THE POINT. And…

Sushi... "Heh, I'm guessing that dano2002, redacted, Sarge, etc. and all the other JT posters who embrace torture haven't actually been within 1,000 miles of the Iraq or Afghanistan battle spaces, and I also bet they don't contribute in any meaningful way at all to fighting the "War on Terror."…

Alpha, I know you know... But I've taken to explaining that in almost every post because it seems others don't know, and have continued to ignore it any one of the 1000 times that you, I, Taka, or anyone else explains it.

Grouchy... I bet Ezra will disagree with you about the extent of Canadian Free Speech. I certainly agree with you, but it is obvious after everything that Ezra has gone, and IS going thru, that freedom of speech is no more "balanced" than it is in the U.S.

"you not wanted or needed"

You know, I haven't heard anything that funny in a very long time. You should come and preach to all my Japanese neighbors. They LOOK Japanese. They sound it. They even have Japanese names. Funny enough, I guess they're not in the majority. Not a…
