Re: Some flabby encouragement
Nobody on the Left cares about Saddam's vicious murders
Good, a falsifiable premise. well, maybe. It depends on how you define the Left. You realize that if someone produces one "body" on the Left that cares about Saddam's vicious murders your statement will be false?
Well, unless you define the Left to mean everyone that doesn't care about Saddam's vicious murders in which case anyone who does care is by definition not on the Left.
Then there again is how you define "cares". Well, maybe it isn't a falsifiable premise. oh well...

Re: Some flabby encouragement
suppressing all dissenting views and murdering dissenters if necessary... the ends justify the means.
In Iraq, both when we set up Saddam and now while taking him down, we claimed that the ends justify the means.
Wait a minute! You are applying the same standards to US and THEM. Can you do that? I don't think it's allowed. ADMINS!!! If they allow this the next thing we will see is people starting to use logic and definitely don't want that. Some one has got to put a stop to making sense.

Re: Some flabby encouragement
Holy cow, is this for real?
I'm convinced Faith is for real. I'm just upset that someone is trying to teach her logic. I have enjoyed her charming use of "Ad Hominum" to mean bringing anything up about people, especially herself, with which she didn't agree.
Even her nick, it's like a Character in those morality plays. She is a protrayal of the unthinking acceptance extolled by Church fathers as "Faith". She is that ideal. Whatever her church authorities tell her, that she believes is utterly real. She is doing a tremendous thing emboding absolute and unthinking obediance to authority, a portrait of, at least some, Christian's ideal of the perfect Christian. Except that she is protestant it's like she stepped out of the middle ages!
