  Wasn't Saddam ousted for doing precisely this sort of thing?

  by Simon in

  utterly disgusting.

  those responsible should be lined against a wall and shot.

  publicly.. i think that would win more hearts and minds than bombing cities and using gunships on civilian areas.. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4855930/.

  I can't help but ask this question regarding the A-bomb thing: What would you propose to do different? How would you decision be better? Its easy to look back and say something was the wrong decision.

  We don't have the same infomation they had back then. At the time, it was deemed the best solution for ending the war. If americans like killing millions and millions of people, then the would do it. They would have nuked all the nations trying to make nuclear bomb before they completed the task so they could be the supreme ruler of the world.

  I'd take consideration over others myself. If i have an emergency that requires me to go to the hospital, I'd have someone take me. Incase something happend to me on the way and I crashed into someone else and killed them, I'd feel horribly guilty and stupid and probably serve some jail time for neglect and manslaughter.

  Should People With Mental Health Problems Be Given More Leeway?

  by Englishman in

  my knowledge of mental health difficulties is confined to my own experiences with depression.. thankfully, i feel that i was able to eventually identify it's source and deal with the problem.

  i read lot's of books and camne to the conclusion that i was suffering from a neurosis.. apparently, neurotic people recognise that they have a problem and often seek to remedy that problem.. i read also that there are people who suffer from a psychosis.

  psychotic people think that the problems they encounter are everyone elses fault and don't take responsibilty for their situation.

  Pedophelia is considered a mental illness, according to the American Psychiatric Association. There are different treatments to different illnesses. Its a crime to commit murder, whether you are sane or not. Criminals are still punished according to their crimes, whether they were sane or not.

  Example - Jeff Dalhmer (sp?) He ate people, cut up their bodies and stored them in his fridge, whole heads even. He is clearly insane. Yet, he was imprisoned.

  Yet some consideration on the penalty must be given to mental illness, which it currently is.

  Fudging on "Field Service Report"

  by Clinton in

  2. experiences

  when i was a jdub i used to write down whatever hours i wanted to write down.

  when i was pioneering for 7 years i would add a few hours to my time each month so that i wouldn?t fall too far behind.

  even when i wasn?t pioneering though i would inflate my hours a bit sometimes so i wouldn?t have the elders hounding me about my time and also so i could hold a ?position?.

  I wrote down the Cong. Average. I thought the whole thing was crap anyway. I just didn't want any slack from elders.

  How would you have done it?

  pretend that you're god (yaweh) for a moment.

  it doesn't matter if you believe in him or not.

  you've created the universe.

  If I gave people the choice to follow me or not, I wouldn't punish them for not following me. Its my fault for giving them the choice.

  I wouldn't have made a tree of knowledge of good and evil to tempt my creation. I liken it to a steak and a dog. If I have a dog and a steak and I put the steak on the ground and tell the dog to stay, and he gets up and eats the steak anyway, I'd blame myself.

  Now if I had to deal with Satan for rebelling, I'd erase him and all memory of him from existance. Its like a cancer, catch it early and remove it and you are better off. How sucessful would a doctor be if he found a tumor in himself, transplanted that tumor to you and let it grow. Then take it out until you get healthy again and then put it back in you to test your health again? Why not just get rid of it in the first place.

  There a lot of anti-psychotics (Drugs) out there that help with the chemical imbalances causing much of this behavior. I believe someone who is not in their right mind should be given some leeway, but must be held accountable for their actions.

  Hmm, I couldn't choose. Everyone has their bad days, even me! Even though Beyonce is a much better singer, there's something about Britney that I just can't let go.
