Doesn't seem the Syrians did anything about it.
I didn't expect them to, but maybe I'm underinformed again. Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

It pissed them off and rallied them but there's only so much an oppressed people fighting a dictator can do. If only they had more oil then the U.S. would rally for them.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
Me and my friend's are trying to get a very large protest going here in the USA. Shit's fucked up and our goverment is the reason why, not just the issue's here in the U.S. but around the world. The way I see it power is consuming many political leader's here in the usa and are slowly turning us into a 2nd world country.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
Ummm.... you do understand that it has always been this way and always will be, yes?
Our government isn't a problem. Stop accusing the puppets. Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

Pathetic, given up before you even try, by the way the body is useless without its legs which I would gladly cut off personally, but I doubt that secret service will let me by. Reality is only what you percieve it to be right? If you believe it will always be this way it will be. But choose to stand up and maybe it will change.

Our goals are not identical. My body is not useless without it's legs... however my legs do remain one of my most useful tools. Don't worry about the secret service when committing a "crime" against me... worry about me and they who are my friends. Quote:Reality is only what you percieve it to be right? If you believe it will always be this way it will be. But choose to stand up and maybe it will change. Reality is that which is there. It doesn't have to be for everyone... nor does it only have to be for you. There are no choices and the nature of the powerful can change only briefly and for little reason.

Disregard the fact that he was just a 13 year old boy.
His last moments in this world were full of brutal torment. I wouldn't wish that kind of suffering on anyone. It's easy to be dismissive when it's not you isn't it. ![[Image: Evolution.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk619%2Fjcincain%2FPublic%2FEvolution.png) RE: What You Get For Protesting

I work differently than you... a 13 year old is quite expendable so far as I am concerned, and is hardly likely to be a personality worth getting choked up over. Quote:His last moments in this world were full of brutal torment. Plenty of us go out that way. More concerning to me than the brutal torment he endured before he died... is how deeply did it psychologically damaged the brutalizers. Quote:I wouldn't wish that kind of suffering on anyone. It's easy to be dismissive when it's not you isn't it. He's dead. That doesn't mean I particularly appreciate torture... and infact am entirely on board with Zaeed at 1:20... and was before he said it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uHPuyumuFM I dismiss the dead as what they are. He was no friend of mine, he was not known to me, he was not near me, he was not anything to me. And he never will be more than an event. Not a person... not something to get worked up over... just a battered corpse brutalized for protesting a dictatorship within its power. Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

Wow, I was just referencing your dismissive attitude towards the torture and execution of this teenage boy, but you took the already disturbing factor to a whole new grotesque level! At best your post is repugnant - at worst it is a forecast into the the life of a brutal sociopath. I pray the former. Cinjin;]His last moments in this world were full of brutal torment.[/quote] **shakes off the chills** How bout those pathetic Hollocaust victims huh? I sure hope Himmler and Mangler didn't suffer too much. How bout those cry-baby Pakistani women who got their noses cut off? I sure do hope those Shiite men with the knives weren't too psychologically damaged. You can justify that terrifying callousness however and as often as you see fit ... it will never wash away the ugliness on the inside.

A forecast into the life of a brutal sociopath...? Why is it not history in the background of a former brutal sociopath? How does not mourning the death of those scarcely people a (brutal) sociopath one make? Yes I am dismissive to a boy who was tortured and executed... and yet I am not dismissive at all towards the effect it had on others. I'm not a sociopath... I am pragmatic with my empathy. Quote:**shakes off the chills** The Holocaust victims were not only those being gassed and beat... but also those who gassed and brutalized. Nobody left those torture camps the same as when they went in... unless they entered it already dead. I too hope that the Shiite men that cut off Pakistani women's noses weren't too psychologically damaged. What you would see next is deprave even as I understand it. I can infact justify insensitivity, and easily. However, I am far from an ugly person inside  Perhaps twisted and depraved... but never ugly.
