Saudi Hospitals Are Asked to Maim Man as Punishment

[Throckmorton]

There you have it ladies and gentlemen, the Left's argument of moral equality.

This is the greatest threat to our nation. People from within who see us as Saudi Arabia. Or worse, think barbarism like this is better. (See Moonbeam)

Anyone who cannot see the difference, who does not appreciate that we do not do these things, is assaulting everything we stand for.

I agree, corporal punishment is evil

I apologize up front if my general use of Left would demean those of you who agree, though I'm not quite sure what other term applies. I'll admit some on the right are sick enough to relish the thought of eye for an eye and corporal punishment such as the OP's story.

To what term should I attempt to apply to them, or is a term too short sighted for this? Seems morality can escape party lines and short descriptors.

I take great insult when I see "oh look, their crime is down" or "we're all equally rotten". Is it wrong to take pride in the notion that we don't maim people for the fun of it? It seems such a vital piece of why we are no longer the barbarians from 700 AD. Chafe away at it and what else do we have but flashy toys....

There is also something called the Hippocratic Oath. Something that i must say i'm not surprised is not religiously upheld by all hospitals in the Islamic world.

You're shocked that hospitals in largely Islamic regions don't take an oath to Apollo, Asclepius, Hygieia and Panacea?

Hopefully one day we can turn our backwards bigoted racist country around and be more like the peaceful tolerant and educated people of Islam.

Well, if your boy Bush had invaded and overthrown the government of the right country after 9/11 this story wouldn't be a worry today. But your hero put the family business ahead of his country and sucked Saudi cock instead so the Kingdom is secure and this crap will continue.

lol@blamebush

Do you ever have a different answer? Froth at the mouth much? I think you have spittle on your lip, FYI.

You can leave your wallet in the street in Saudi Arabia and go get it the next day.

No one there has Hands. Probably why you dropped the Wallet and left it there in the first place!!

 

[sandorski]

Wow some people will go any length to defend Islam and it's fundie followers.

I'm going to go watch some Gunship cam footage of Jihadis getting ripped to shreds to cheer up a little.

Funny thing is, most of those OK with this Punishment are not Defenders of Islam at all. You'll find them throwing hissy fits over the "Ground Zero" Mosque.

So you would have supported a regime change in Saudi Arabia? One that would have put an end to Sharia law? You don't support muslims' right to practice their beautiful and deeply wonderful religion.

So, your position is Bush never did anything wrong with any effect today, since any mention whatsoever he did gets your comment that 'blame Bush' is wrong. Apologist.

It's not that you say anything about an excessive, gratuitous, irrelevant raising of Bush - it's that there's not one thing Bush ever did that doesn't also get the 'blame Bush' macro. Was he ever President? I guess not.

Support regime change is Saudi? Absolutely. The 9/11 attacks simply could not have taken place without the financial support of Saudi Arabia. The spread of violent Sunni Islamistism and the promotion of Sharia is funded primarily by Saudi Arabia. The House of Saud is an absolute monarchy therefore the House of Saud is sufficiently responsible for the attacks of 9/11 to warrant destruction.

What did Bush do instead of going after America's Saudi enemies? He rolled over like a puppy.

When it becomes the answer for EVERYTHING, it's just a crutch. I can come up with a huge list for just about any recent POTUS that are things that they screwed up. GWB has a long list just as any do for me.

Of course, you don't have that kind of vision since you are part of the blindly partisan group. Your posts are literally wordy versions of "lib did it, so it's good. conservative did it so it's bad". It's this fierce devotion to loving anything a liberal does and hating anything a conservative does that keeps you in the ignorant sheeple phase of your life. It's also why alot of people put you on ignore.

Let's be a little more accurate - progressives, not liberals, are Craig's favorites (for now).

 

[waggy]

WTF blaiming bush? you guys got to be kidding.

while t he guy was a fuckup he has nothing to do with the OP's post. No matter when bush invaded (i agree he should NEVER have set foot in iraq). but s hit the "but bush" is getting old.

Well in this regard we can let them build their mosques and help them teach us the way.

Either way, subscribing to only one way of thinking and not having enough thought process to realize that no one group is always right or wrong limits your potential for growth and understanding. Thing is, dems/libs/progressives get it right sometimes. Craig is only right as often as they are because he will follow anything and everything that they ask.

I think the way it works for theft in SA is that it's the right hand, the left hand and then the head. Three strikes and you're out, with no need for penal institutions at tax payer's expense and the lowest crime rate on earth. Stealing from poor folk is like murdering them. Odd no, that barbarians should run a practically crime free society whereas here nice folk govern barbarian thieves.

Crime-free!? That reminds of Ahmadinejad at Columbia university saying something about a homosexual-free Iran.

Lets not forget about all them US prisoners executed that are later proved innocent by DNA evidence. OOPS, can't bring them back to life can we.

Cite a single instance of an executed inmate who was later proved innocent by DNA. You won't be able to because it hasn't happened.

The anti-DP crowd's best hope was a guy in Virginia named Roger Keith Coleman who was fried for rape and murder back in 1992. A lot of DP opponents acted like it was a proven fact that Coleman was innocent, and in 2006 Virginia re-tested some evidence using modern DNA technology to determine if he really did do it. The result? Guilty as hell.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Support regime change is Saudi? Absolutely.

Because US backed regime changes have worked out so well in the past...
