Yeah you do. You probably just forget out of convenience and rest on the fact most will be too lazy to search your post history. Silly bastard.

Do you even know what ad hominem means? It sorta like you calling people retards and fucking idiots, and nothing at all like sarcastic dismissals... You can thank me silently for that bit of info.

I understand the specific case of this Boston guy. My overall comment included people like Loughner, who was tackled in the commission of his crime.

I'm so thankful we have Bill Maher as our voice of reason. He'll surely go down in the annals of history as one of the great philosophers of our time... What we do without him? :confused

Then I have to ask: what is the point of due process? Is it to go through the motions to appease a perception or is it to resolve a thing? OJ Simpson, no matter what anyone may think of him, was certainly rightly given his due process. There was plenty of question in the matter and the point of...

You asked for it, I just provided the source. ;)

:lol Go to the Horn of Africa. Or if you're not inclined to at least read it about and see be informed of those very things being enacted today.

Sure. Take Islam. Please.

Then what is the point of making a distinction between a criminal and regular society? What is the point of a judicial system if the only people to be disadvantaged are law abiding citizens and victims of crime, while an obvious societal detriment has the backing of a system initially set forth...

Someone in the act of mass murder pretty much defaults on this right to life, liberty and happiness. It's why we have laws - the ability to take the higher ground and rightly punish them. Intentional murder is a far cry from a common thief or drunk and the punishment and the path to justice...

:lol

You shouldn't paraphrase Marx. He was angry. And no, nothing has caused more slaughter than geo-politics and material greed. The most influencing wars of the last 200 years were entirely geo-political and fa more damaging than any percieved 'holy war'. You should actually read the bible along...

Another content filled discussion post from Superpunk! Nice.

Stop the nonsense.

The fool from Aurora is a perfect example of the abuse of due process. He was caught in the act, there is no doubt as to his guilt; there's no need for a trial. Due process wasn't formed in order to drag society through a circus and allow a murder to barter for his punishment. He should have no...

I think you mean convince. Reason is a word that has been co-opted by certain groups to mean it applies exclusively to their own opinions. There's plenty of justification for a belief God, from an historical standpoint, a prophetic standpoint and simply, through faith. I understand a person...

I'm fairly sure that's happened to an American citizen caught in Afghanistan, fighting against the U.S. He didn't attack us on our soil, so the conditions might be different, but he agreed to have his citizenship revoked in order to avoid being tried/punished, whatever... A quick lazy look...

:lol Koreans who offend very easily.

So in looking to understanding completely, I have to ask; do you think the people at Guantamo - enemy combatants/prisoners of war - deserve due process according to our Constitution?

Good one! ***High Five***
