Is it now that I'm supposed to say: "I don't play your game, I'm better then
you"?

-=>> Quoting Shannon Talley to Björn Forsström <=-

 >> ST> And there in lies the rub.  "...it isn't none of my business..."  Your
 >> ST> fellow man -- our fellow human beings were being gassed and killed why
 >> you
 >> ST> indicate it's none of your business.
 >> Not even the Germans was aware of what was going on in the concentration
 >> camps at that time but we are very well informed about what's going on at
 >> Guantanamo. Same shift different places. We cared about those prisoners but

 ST>> Oh?  Have you been there and seen the place?  Those guys are living
 ST>> high on  the hog over there and are being treated very well.  I know
 ST>> this first hand  :)   You can't possibly compare prisoners of war being
 ST>> treated, fed, housed,  and clothed to the slaughtering Saddam did to
 ST>> the Kurds.

 FS> Bjorn hasn't the *foggiest* idea WRT conditions on Gitmo -- and he clearly
 FS> doesn't want to know ... [sigh] ...

 >> And how many have been executed in USA?
 >> Same shift different places.

 ST>> The Death penalty serves a greater good, and I'm glad we have it.  Who
 ST>> wants  murder's let loose and moving in as our next door neighbors?
 ST>> (You??)  I  doubt it.  Again, you can't possibly compare the slaughter
 ST>> of innocent men,  women and children to our death penalty.  You are
 ST>> writing as though you  support the atrocities committed against the
 ST>> Kurds by Saddam. If you want to  compare prisons, take a look at
 ST>> German, Turkish, Polish, or even some of  England's prisons.  Whew --
 ST>> they wouldn't pass "OSHA" standards here in the  US, that's for damn
 ST>> sure.

 FS> Bjorn has no idea as to the many *years*, the many *appeals* convicts go
 FS> through until they're finally executed.  Then it's only the worst of the
 FS> worst who receive that penalty.  Bjorn knows nothing about it and doesn't
 FS> want to learn.

 >> That has not passed un-noticed but how much have been done for the blacks
 >> in the south of USA? And for those 50 million people that can't afford a
 >> healt-
 >> care insurance?

 ST>> What in the hell are you talking about?  You have Absolutely NO idea
 ST>> what  you are writing about... You've pulled apart some reports from
 ST>> the  drive-by-media and accept them as fact.  There IS health care
 ST>> available to  the indigent from the federal govt. and the state govts.
 ST>> Blacks?  They have  as much --- if not more (due to affirmative action)
 ST>> rights and privileges  than Caucasians.  We are MUCH more advanced
 ST>> regarding equal rights than most  (if not all) countries in Europe.
 ST>> I'm "From" the south, and therefore have  a very personal knowledge.
 ST>> ANYONE can afford health care in this country,  they simply have to
 ST>> apply for a program.  I work at the local homeless  shelter and council
 ST>> people specifically on their health care options.  The  problem isn't a
 ST>> lack of funding or programs, it's simply that about  22million don't
 ST>> give a crap and don't apply for any.

 FS> I couldn't help but laugh when I read *that* crap by Bjorn.  He must have
 FS> been reading some Civil War era slavery news ... he thinks Blacks are
 FS> routinely lynched in the South ... heh heh heh ...

 >> And how many of those dies every year due to lack of treatment?

 ST>> There are MANY who "refuse" treatment, or fall down a well, can't get
 ST>> to a  hospital on time, or whatever -- but it is a federal crime to
 ST>> refuse life  saving treatment to any human being in this country (legal
 ST>> or illegal  immigrant -- doesn't matter) regardless of health insurance
 ST>> coverage.

 ST>> BJ, based on your writings you really don't have any idea what it's
 ST>> like  over here.  I don't know if you've based you knowledge on movies,
 ST>> euro  papers, or just reading all the bad things that Felen has written
 ST>> about us  over the years, but your views are very "wrong".....

 FS> His views are so unlike reality I wonder *where* he gets them.

 >> Afraid of being criticized....?

 ST>> Not at all -- just as long as it's "true".

 FS> Something else, Bjorn, won't understand ...

 FS> ... Daydreaming:  Wishcraft.
