The thing of it is that if a person's life (murderer) is to be taken as a punishment/consequence of their actions(crime)....then that taking needs to be done as a result of a sentence arrived at within a lawfully convened court of law....and not at the hands of an individual citizen taking the law into his own hands.

In a perfect world, yes. The left has destroyed the greatest Nation in history.
Like I said, country first.

HALLELUJAH! You are my new favorite person on this forum.

     Interesting take....which in itself shows a degree of shift off your original position on the matter.  I think for us all there is a defining element that comes into play when our innately known stances happen to meet a testing point in real time. 
    I look forward to future exhibitions from you as to your passionately held beliefs on other thought provoking matters.   Onword ho!!

There would be no second thoughts on saving a dog.

     Well...I will give you this....you certainly keep your flags flying!  That is consistency and honesty....both of which I respect..as I believe I exhibit the same features myself. 
     I could start a "test" hypothetical thread I have in mind that I think would light up this board....but...I am not sure I should and am still thinking on the matter and have not decided yet.  hagd.

.... Can you really, for one second, equate the President of the United States with a child-raping murderer, and be morally serious in doing so?

100% irrelevant. The post was about not being able to pick which life to save because both were created by God as equal. Based on that, whether or not one is a child raping murderer or your own mother should not matter. Just as political affiliation doesn't. Rapists are still created by God as humans, are they not?

You could only save one and it's Bush and Hussein. Which do you choose?
Remember, a drowning man will take you with them, so you're risking your own life as well.

This question is different from your original one. In the first, you were asking whether I considered a human life - even a human i don't particular care for - more important than my career. In this question you're asking whether I place more value on some human lives above others; the answer is - of course. I'm willing to bet that if a third party were included, and that third party were someone near and dear to you, both Hussain and Bush would be out of luck. Humans always place greater value up some human lives. How often have you read of someone drowning in an attempt to rescue an endangered child - even an unrelated or unknown child. Why did most of the women and children survive the sinking of the Titanic, while most of the men didn't?

Bullshit. If you truly believe that every human is created by God, then you believe necessarily in all the traits and features God gave each human, and that most certainly includes the natural capacity to judge another human. To say that it "should not matter" whether the person drowning before you is a child raping murderer or your own mother is the ultimate lib/prog bullshit fantasy. ALL men judge ALL other men, every minute of every day, every day of life. It has ALWAYS been so, and it will ALWAYS be so. YOU judge each and every person you come into contact with every day of your life, whether you want to admit it or not. And you in turn are judged by every person you have contact with, including the others who read your words on this board. To deny this is to deny reality. To say it shouldn't be so is proof you've got your jammies on, 'cause you be dreamin.'

That's cute how the closet liberal (among other things) thinks he's having a debate with me. If you would deviate from your liberal tactic of spouting off at the mouth without having a clue about what you're talking about, you would see that my post is saying exactly what you're saying and pointing out the logical fallacy in the hippy's post who said he couldn't choose between Bush or Obama because they are both God's creatures. So before you start acting like a tough guy hurling insults, maybe you should read the back and forth I was having with the hippy guy. Then again, it might be too advanced for you to understand. Idiot.

Good point! It's why I'm firm in my belief I'd save the dog and let Hussein drown.
Yes, I have no qualms playing judge, jury and hangman, did it for a couple of decades, tends to make one take a good look inside, and I'm fine with who I am.

It reminds me of how bent out of shape the libs got over so called torture of enemy prisoners (water boarding).
But when confronted with one of their own family members being held and possibly beheaded, the hypocrisy was so thick, you could cut it with a knife.

Hmm....
THE QUESTION:

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer.

SCROLL DOWN:


Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

I see NO third option in the joke.

Lefties, ya'll need to work on your sense of humor....acquire one.

This is an old joke, best I recall the first version I remember was Katrina and Bush....all the Libs thought it was hilarious then...

This joke is so old that nobody uses film anymore.

Obama raped America. He is as morally serious as I can imagine. Wrong, but serious.

Color pictures for sure. And since I can't swim myself, I would notify EMS or a Rescue Squad. Hope the letter gets there, all I have is a 1cent stamp!!!!!
