    Wicked, but true?

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Great article. You can't help people who are not interested in help. All you can do is take away the victims they live off of and their ability to victimize.

        Even if you're still a believer in rehabilitation, what you mentioned has to be the first step anyway.

        Please love yourself.

          I do believe in rehab, but it only works if the recipient wants it.

            I think that the article was quite "over the top" and I did not like the writing style. The writer seemed like someone who was trying to hard to be "cool" and make his point in a style that was too much for me at least.

            But, There definitely is a certain percentage of people who cannot be changed.

            The problem is how do you know that ahead of time? 15 years old is pretty young to be giving up on someone.

                I liked the writing style, kept me interested.
                Good article, in that it talks about things we're not suppose to talk about.
                He does segue rather quickly:
                "But as I said, the rejection of unsalvageability cuts across ideological lines. And that’s why many on the right are so easily tempted to support foreign military adventures."

                Writing style? Good enough. I say we let him join this forum, on a probationary basis of course. He was guilty though, of coming dangerously close to facts and objectivity, but fortunately did not cross the line.

                  I like people who bring up things that no one talks about. He fits the bill.

                    Kill the messenger.

                    First time, every time.

                    Got any thoughts on what the messenger had to say?
