BARK's Yelps

People in China do not have freedom of religion, press or speech...we do. Do you not see that? In fact, just the fact that you posted this blog shows that you have more freedom than the Chinese do.

If you want a good nation stop where we are and get complacent, But if you want a great nation constant maintenence is required.

We live in a good nation.

With all the potential we have that is very sad.

Thats what people don't seem to understand. How is it that when our nation sits down to these summits like Geneva, and we give our word to act a certain way DURING war, we feel fine with changing it when one really happens?

Our police violate human rights here. They act in ways that are disgraceful sometimes. Not always don't get all fatalistic, sometimes.

It is the nature of the beast.

If there are bad people in a place bad things will happen. America is America because we made systems to be above falling to the level of depravity of our enemies. But everytime we change the rules in the middle of the game we look like cheaters.

I find it WHOLLY unpatriotic to feel one has the right to circumvent or undermine documents like the constitution with the War powers act. Fair Credit with the Patriot. FISA for Fed. It is like saying all our predecessors were useless.

"The Geneva was written for rules governing a war between militaries"

This I do not understand. Most people who speak like you can not differentiate between 'militia' and 'civilian,' but you can between 'military' and 'non-combatant?'


"Now if we are fighting the Iraqi Rebulican Guard, the the rules to the Geneva convention apply, but when you are fighting cowards, hiding amongst general population, cutting the heads off of their prisoners of "war", and blowing up innocent men, women and children, then all bets are off"

This is a problem. Not even the Rupblican Guard was given Geneva protection.

And look if you want to go out and destroy a nation then say "why aren't you a nation?" I get it. Sure there is no central national army because we destroyed it. So now we fight with civilians? If they are not a military they are civilians, correct? So after we beat the military we fight their people. They are not hiding and coming out to fight, they are at home with guns, we invaded, not them. I would never call a man who defends his home a coward. What would you do if Iraq invaded us and beat our military and then did not leave?

You, Skyder, are just like Hussein, and Bin Laden in that you just want to eradicate your enemies and blame it on their fault rather than your own propensity to violence.

"Personally, I would be cutting little pieces of them off, from wherever I could think of next, until they either died, or confessed."

When they do it they are cowards, but YOU are a patriot right. Killing isn't really killing when WE do it. Your a joke.
