    Torturing them would not be worse. I know an eye for an eye is outdated. I believe in an eye for a bunch of eyes. Also, I am guessing the red is countries that allow the death penalty?

    @viking. All you have to say is he agrees with it or he doesn't. It is not that hard. If you can continually tell me to google it you should easily be able to type what his stance is.

    So torturing someone to death over 2 months is the same as getting a needle?
    The US is essentially a mass murderer.
    Ahem... I thought that much would be obvious...
    The point is you're in the "Dick's exclusive" club along with countries such as:
    Saudi-Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, China, North Korea, Sudan and Zimbabwe.

    You said"Torturing them would not be worse." I thought that was ridiculous
    Mass murderer: A ..... who is responsible for the deaths of many individuals.
    The US government has killed more people than any person ever has. Therefore the US is a mass murderer.

    Well, to be honest, I wouldn't say that. The United States is just a bit better at dressing up their actions, and as an American I accept that.

    Well im going with, the united states hasn't gone around committing mass murders or killing off people in Afghanistan because they have a different shared view point. Get where I'm coming from?

    Do you expect me to use that site?
    And the statement is wrong. The Nixon administration supported Pinochet, who committed mass murder of political opponent.

    I expect you to read some things on the site, it actually would help your argument. Also everyone knows the story of Pinochet, Which all i can say is fuck him and all heil allende.

    Then why do you say the US has never "state sponsored or encouraged murder." When it clearly has.
    Btw. Going to bed. Will answer tomorrow.

    Im going with as a whole or been going KILL EVERYONE NOW, it depends of the administration of the u.s government at the time, and there has been alot of u.s backed dictators like for example "Batista" or that one south Vietnamese leader who killed alot of people who's name slips my mind at the moment.

    But In the end the united states is no Nazi Germany when it comes to killing.

    The dictators themselves went on the mass murdering spree. Do you honestly think the US expected them to go on a mass killing spree? Also, no torture is not worse than being sentenced to death, because you still have your life.

    Hmm what would I rather have happen, get shot and die or be forced to go through the most worst of pains and tortures hopeing for my death as I watch my family work them selfs to death in labor camps? Yeah I rather get shot then get tortured, especially some of the world war 2 Japanese tortures.

    Yes. I do think the Nixon administration knew that what they were doing and knew that Pinochet would kill his political opponents. I actually think they wanted him to do it.
    I would rather have a quick, easy death than slowly being tortured to death.(any sensible person would) You have propably never experienced this kind of pain and neither have I, but most people will be begging for death when someone starts to torture them.(for real)
