He's certainly a pawn...

twice over in my opinion.

Furthermore, believe it or not, you aren't (my) target.

Just what do you think is so fucking humorous about anyone, journalist or non, being killed and beheaded on video? Whether this man was an idealist or a communist or a nihilist or sophist or a tranvestite or ... is completely irrelevent in my book. He was used as a pawn and brutally murdered. Pardon me for not getting your little fucking joke, but just what was it?

Ahem...I didn't say it was humorous that he (or anyone else) was killed.

I SAID I thought it humorous those who were championing his death.

Sorry for the noise

I think Ashton was correct in pointing out the irony, not humour, of the situation. I do see the irony, I still don't find it humorous. That's a key distinction to me... Kind of like the irony of the unsinkable Titanic... Definately not funny...

Normally I'm not all that offended by semantics, and I apologize for the tome of my post.

Just a few thoughts,

Screamer

"As people assemble, civilization Is trying to find a new way to die,
But killing is really, merely scene changer,all men are bored, with other men's lives"

...
"We all know success, when we all find our own dreams
And our love is enough to knock down any walls
And the future's been seen, as men try to realize
The simple secret of the note in us all
in us all"

You're revealing your assumptions. - (Brandioch) - (24) - June 3, 2002, 12:52:25 PM EDT

That's the spirit Bill.. - (Ashton) - June 4, 2002, 12:11:38 AM EDT

So what you're saying is your recommendation is a total fail - (Brandioch) - (17) - June 4, 2002, 01:14:08 AM EDT

Nope....you're confusing yours and mine. - (bepatient) - (16) - June 4, 2002, 02:55:24 AM EDT

Sounds like your Alzheimer's is kicking in with a vengence. - (Brandioch) - (15) - June 4, 2002, 01:01:45 PM EDT

Then please, oh wise one...enlighten us with your plan. - (bepatient) - (14) - June 4, 2002, 01:30:28 PM EDT

You need to brush up on our criminal justice system. - (Brandioch) - (13) - June 4, 2002, 02:32:17 PM EDT

Pretty weak. - (bepatient) - (11) - June 4, 2002, 03:36:48 PM EDT

You may be quite right re the outcome. - (Ashton) - June 3, 2002, 05:07:05 PM EDT

Again, I must disagree... - (Simon_Jester) - June 3, 2002, 11:07:54 AM EDT
