You a zoologist or something?
reason 1. jws use a cultic language that keeps them in a constant state of social hypnosis.
transformational grammar teaches that our language directly affects our subjective experience.
in working with some former jws i had to confiscate certain words and have them create substitutes for something that was more neutral.
Reason #12:
"New Light" tastes great AND is less filling (spiritually speaking).
his mother says he was "brainwashed," poor delicate child.
his father asks for mercy.. after all, he only volunteered to join the jihad to kill western infidels like his mom and dad.
he thought the events of september 11 were justified.. he wants to be a martyr for allah and enjoy his six dozen houris in paradise.. i'm undecided: should he be charged with treason and subjected to a jury trial, with the prospect of hanging if he's found guilty, or should his american citizenship simply be forever revoked so he can wander the sands of time as a man without a country?.
I've got a stand set up in the lobby selling "Sacred Steamin' CowPies (still hot!)"
plop
in a previous post, some of you talked about your current age and number of years married.
subtract and voila, many of you married young, by which i mean before 20 years of age.
congrats to all of you couples, married long and short!
Hormones, so they say, lead to fornication.
Marriage is supposed to be a remedy for fornication, but its a stepping stone to adultery.

Most of the things you guys mention I do, in fact, appreciate you for. but what percentage of your gross national product is consumed by your "real" medicare? It's socialism! There's a reason that US medical facilities near our common border do such good business - when Canadians want REAL medical care, they come to the US. How many residents of the USA go to Canada when they need to have a thorn removed from their foot?
...and Naeblis said,
All canadians should be shot. Shot then gassed. Then killed.Are you just looking for the easy way out?
C'mon, Bitter Mango, you frozen Canadian confection, give ol' Saint Naeb his sock! His willies gettin' cold!

As a citizen of the US, he is entitled to a jury trial.
If we can find fourteen (12 + 2 alternates) citizens who feel they wouldn't mind having themselves, their spouse or children murdered by a terrorist, he could even go free. Allah-hu-fuckin'-Akbar!
Military tribunals are for non-citizens suspected of being enemy agents, and are entirely appropriate for that purpose.
SaintSatan - I just called Dan Rather, and he told me I was most definately NOT brainwashed. I don't even wash behind my ears!
But seriously, SS - what constitutes "brainwashing"? Is education brainwashing? Is religious conversion brainwashing? Does your local jeep dealer brainwash you before he sells you a new car? Does the guy at the 7-11 brainwash you into buying two chili cheesedog gut-bombs? What are our own thoughts?
My point, I think - let me check with Dan Rather - is that the term "brainwashing" originally had a specific meaning, and that meaning has been broadened to the point where it means nothing. Soon all words will mean the same thing, y'know?
Does each person have to invent the wheel for themselves to avoid the stigma of being "brainwashed"?
I wonder how the psychiatrist's patients behave AFTER the good doctor has 'de-hypnotized" them. How are they different? Well, their wallets are now MUCH lighter...

A person could argue that we're ALL "brainwashed."
(I wouldn't agree with that, but the argument could be made.)
Nevertheless, we are responsible for our decisions and our actions.
What if (ha ha) the Talian/Al Qaeda had kicked US ass? He would be dancing with his Muslim "brothers" in celebration.
What if he wasn't simply injured and captured, but died in his holy war?
He made his choice. He can dance at the end of a rope on his way to his magnificent Lord Allah.
SaintSatan - I would think that travelling to Afghanistan for the purpose of fighting with Al Qaeda is pretty much 'doing the crime" in this case. He wasn't exactly selling magazines from door-to-door when he was apprehended.
