your anger is justified, but this is the synopsis of extreme violence throughout human history. To make a change, for a paradigm shift, there has to be evolution of emotional actions and reactions. We have to move BEYOND emotion and even beyond being controlled by our rational minds that have produced ham-fisted pragmatist dullness and our competitive nature...

we must evolve to the point where we realize we are all equals and all one organism that needs to work together for the betterment of us all (not one person left behind) instead of raping and killing each other and the planet that gives us life.

Evolution of consciousness.... GO. :!:

Like Maybe not so much an evolution of consciousness, rather 'the raising of consciousness', so remember friend, even early man (naturally) had the basic truth of working together and living within a balanced system.

and Lowering our ego will raise our consciousness.

Life is all about balance, harmony, like a musical instrument. Tune it too much in any direction and you tend to lose the balance, the harmony. But when the balance is found, and a note is hit, Played just right, how sweet the sound?

Are there as many forms of the devil as there are religions in the world?
Do most religions even recognize a devil?

It seems that there are so many religions and so many Gods, but the devil has remained somewhat consistent through the centuries. Something to think about... Maybe we spend too much time on Gods, and all the while, we are creating our own devils, death, destruction, and wars. :twisted:

A lady Canadian libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the government,
complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists)
being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.

She received back the following reply:

National Defense Headquarters
M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg, 15 NT
101 Colonel By Drive
Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2
Canada

Dear Concerned Citizen,

Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of
treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian
Forces who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan
Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in
Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.

Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were
heard loud and clear here in Ottawa.

You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like
yourself; we are creating a new department here at the Department of
National De fence, to be called 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for
Killers' program, or L.A.R.K. for short.

In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided
to divert one terrorist and place him in your personal care.

Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for
transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Toronto
next Monday.

Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be
cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your
letter of complaint.

It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.
We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of
care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommend in
your letter.

Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your
sensitivity to what you described as his 'attitudinal problem' will
help him overcome these character flaws.

Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural
differences.

We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.

Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat
and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or
nail clippers.

We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your
next yoga group.

He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from
common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked
up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.

Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except
sexually) since he views females as a subhuman form of property.

This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been
known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with
the new dress code that he will "recommend" as more appropriate attire.

I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka
over time. Just remember that it is all part of 'respecting his
culture and religious beliefs' as described in your letter.

Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when folks like
you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our
fellow man.

You take good care of Ahmed and remember we'll be watching.

Good luck.

Cordially,
Gordon O'Connor
Minister of National Defense

Just what I was thinking. It's based on a simplistic (and I think, often deliberate) misinterpretation of what we're saying. It goes out of the way to try to be glib and critical, but really just illustrates how people who think up stuff like this profoundly and fundamentally miss the point.

If these so-called 'terrorists' captured in Afghanistan and held in Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo are such obviously dangerous criminals, then why have next to none of them been charged with anything after years of detention and interrogation?

Not that I mean to burst the bubble of your silly fantasy above, Godfather, but if you can please provide me with an answer to this question I'll be grateful.

ha ha ha I like your style Byrnzie,the post was ment as a joke just lightin the mood around here but the best answer that I can give is that they are prisoners of war so to speak and so what's the hurry ? only the people involved in these government's know of their involvment that lad to to their capture so maybe they have the "let em rot in there" atitude....it could happen.
but I'm not one of those people that believe that the inmates are being held with out reason,mabe they are and mabe not..I don't know ..do you ?
