Amnesty International

It's fine, as long as they highlight what he did in the first place. But it creates less sympathy that way... and it makes the US out as rushing to judgement.   And just saying he was rehabilitated???  That's an opinion.  Without presenting fact, they hope the simpletons of the world will say "Yep, AI said he was rehabilitated so therefore he must be."

And you didn't ask me to clarify meaning, you clarified it for me... in your words. And then you passed it off as what I said.

So let me apologize, also, for YOU misunderstanding and changing the context of the topic.

Are we OK now?

There you have it in black and white folks.

fatty.

Crap, Catqueen.... we are busted.

I certainly hope no one digs up the "I think Stalin was good because...." thread I started a few years back.

that clears it up nicely :D

Nabokov could be incredibly harsh in his one-line critiques of other writers.

"I doubt you'll get an apology from Amazon, who started the attacks."

That you are so delusional as to think that I started any attacks (poor poor hypocritical you) is just one reason why I have no desire to apologize. The other reason being I have nothing to apologize for!

I don't owe you any apologies. I'm only sorry that I made the mistake of thinking you were decent, reasonable and intelligent, and thus worth having a discussion with.
On the other hand, you do owe me apologies, however I honestly couldn't care less about that.

He's delusional (his comment about Israel taking care of Iran is another example of his delusion).

BTW I love your comments that "Also, you keep referring to the examples of criminals you gave as that they are dirtbags. Is that in contrast to all the murderers on death row who aren't dirtbags? The thing with being against capital punishment is that it has to apply to all people, else you aren't actually against it" and "i still think, if someone is AGAINST the death penalty, it is completely irrelevant what the crime is. If you believe it is a breach of human rights to kill someone, it doesn't make a difference if they are a monster, if they are a cannibal, etc. Much as instinct might make you want to rip their guts out, if you really believe in the value of human life, no matter what the crime, you would still not believe its right to have them killed." That says it all.

I thought so, however I wasn't sure.

Yeh, I see what you mean! :D

catqueen- "Yara is one of the loveliest people in the weird world of forums, and no, she is not serious lol"

Good to know. :D

The fucking irony of you saying, after well over 13 pages of whining about words supposedly being put into your mouth, after 13 pages in which you have shunned no opportunity to personally attack other posters, "I do respect you for your passion", that's just beyond stupid. That remark of yours would be comparable to Bill Clinton saying "I don't see women as sex objects", i.e. no one in their right minds would believe you, and in fact you're just rubbing salt into the wound because we already know you're lying.

Yeah but what Bill Clinton did was fucking awesome. Imagine if he'd had to find "The Biscuit" (the card that carries all-important nuclear codes) while Monica was doing her best impression of a dirty whore, ALL WHILE HE WAS ON THE PHONE IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

That is fucking *metal*.

That still doesn't change the fact that you're an idiot and have very little, if anything, to offer on any thread.  The fact that you can't (that I see) even start your own thread that bears discussion proves that, so just keep jumping on threads offering your thoughtful insights... they might make you feel a little better.

All psych analysis is essentially opinion. The DSM which is used to determine psychological illness is basically a set of symptoms, and those are mainly determined by the patient talking about them. But i'm sure there were behaviour plans in place and specific targets which were met in deciding that he had shown signs of rehabilitation. But essentially anything non-physical is an 'opinion.'

*Microwave was talking to me in that post, right? But i DIDN'T apologise for what i said, or for my position on anything. All i apologised for was one comment where i did go from just saying what i think to saying something personal. And its just as bad for me (or anyone) to personally attack microwave as it is for microwave to attack anyone else.
Enough moralising lol, just wanted to make it clear that i wasnt apologising for my beliefs around execution.

"Suck it Monica. Eururgh- no no Mr. Yeltsin I was talking to someone else".
