Step one toward completely throwing the agreement out the window.

What. the. ****?

It's one thing to ignore the law but pretend to follow it - it's another to just say 'screw the law'.

Well, it's really just admitting what everyone but their own public already knew.

Mars · **Reply #3 on:** June 05, 2006, 02:12:15 pm

Well, nobody likes napalm so the US came up with a cheaper substitute.
None likes torture, so there's EST.

What can I say?

Well, by their own public, I mean those who have been choosing to defend their 'illegal' actions along with the 'legal' ones (yes, that's terribly generalised, I know) I probably should have made it a bit clearer why I didn't put 'The American Public'. My mistake

Umm nice....what's next....! All hail to US ! Once beleived to be an example in human right's law enforcement now not much better then countries like Iran,Irak, the talibans and if this keeps up Bin Laden. Dont take it personal i'm not refering to the US the citizenz that actualy have a brain and see the dezaster this could eventualy lead to. Oh and i'm not talking about those who actualy fight against this law beeing passed i'm talking about it's current leaders political and milatary.

You do realize of course that other countries will soon follow if this law is passed!

Then where do we end up?? Back in the middle ages or something like that??

The Age of Illiteracy?

Flipside · **Reply #8 on:** June 05, 2006, 02:39:37 pm

The Age of Terror, most likely.

When both sides are resorting to torture, abduction and persecution to achieve their goals, you just know there's bad **** on the horizon.

I don't see other countries following suit though, America is losing political influence at an almost exponential rate in the world theatre these days.

Aldo if that was suposed to be an insult you missed . While mi english is good its not that good. Soo unless you can actualy explain what you wanted to the phrase will remain ratherm empty to me.

Well I tend to believe that this will actualy happen. Why? Becasuse countries like China,North Coreea and others like them are just waiting for an excuse.

Flipside · **Reply #11 on:** June 05, 2006, 02:50:14 pm

Countries like China and North Korea already ignore the Geneva Convention. It was one of the things America actually used to use to explain the difference between 'Free' and 'Oppressive'.

AlphaOne · **Reply #12 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:00:13 pm

I wonder how they be able to point the figer at other countries now with this new law?

Also this is the perfect excuse for bin ladden and other like him to go around bomming the US and othre countries around the world.

They don't need an excuse, they already do it and say they don't (or say nothing atall).

AlphaOne · **Reply #15 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:08:32 pm

What like the US is gooing to do from now on?? Not that it did not do until now its just that now they actualy have mae up a legal excuse for it!

achtung · **Reply #16 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:48:16 pm

I just feel the need to say this.......

**** BUNNY!

The fact that the glow thing is an IE only feature makes me hate bunny even more.

Mars · **Reply #17 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:55:08 pm

Oh, is that why glow never worked! I just looked at the Forum under IE tab in Firefox, and it does work.

Nuke · **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2006, 05:39:54 pm

the us has been using napalm for decades, dispite the fact that it is illegal under the geneva convention.
this is not news.

I agree.I find it interesting that the US is becoming more like its "enemies" all the time.
