Now people are bitching and moaning cuz Saddam was taunted by the executioners and others before being hung for killing hundreds of thousands of people...
CUZ HE WAS TAUNTED?!?!?!?!
WTF ARE PEOPLE COMING TO!
I'd have been taunting to if I was an Iraqi...or just a human being there at the time.
Un-******-believable.

Jan 03, 2007 09:19 pm honestly, people will complain about anything and everything. If they didnt taunt saddamn people would have complained how he didnt get taunted and say how he deserved to be taunted. so really... screw it.. who cares.
i found most times that the people who complain dont hardly ever take action to do anything about it.
Db as long as ive been on these forums you've always been complaining...though i agree with your complaint...it does need more cowbell.

Could you imagine the outrage if they put underwear on his head prior to the big drop?

Jan 03, 2007 09:46 pm Nice visual, steveo !
Seems like if you're going to hang someone...anyone, you'd have enough class to just hang the bastard . No love for Saddam here, just seems like the guy dealing out 'class' aughta have a little . Save the laughs about him shitting his pants for afterwards . ; p

Only when it comes to societal (is that a word?) and political issues that just seem friggin stupid, like this. It just torks me off when I see stupid, stupid **** like this. I have to vent somewhere, this is it.
Outside of the political and society-going-to-hell departments I am a pretty happy guy.

Jan 03, 2007 10:43 pm While I'm not bitching about them taunting him, I do think it's in incredibly poor taste. The man was being hung, there was really no reason to rub salt in the wounds.

Jan 04, 2007 12:26 am He would have, and has done worse. Seems like paultry retribution for people that have lived under murderous oppression.
I say taunt all they want. The people that were victimized and traumatized should be allowed to do anything they want to him, before he's put down.
Jan 04, 2007 12:28 am ya thats kinda out dated isnt it, hanging somone?
like wtf, are we back in the 1600's

Jan 04, 2007 02:24 am Eh whatever, I guess people just can't accept the fact that he's hanging on the end of a rope dying so they have to take any cheap shot they can get. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm no sadaam sympathetic or anything like that, I'm just saying I would have shown the decency of keeping my mouth shut. At that point I just nee no reason to taunt him, he can't do anything about it and you're just making cheap shots in my opinion. But, my opinions not always popular ;)
Jan 04, 2007 03:39 am I think Saddam deserved that old chinese penalty,;-'Death by a thousand cuts'then add the salt.

Not nearly as poor taste as gassing your citizens, having your sons rape and kill people at will, sending their heads back to their families, among countless other atrocities.
Jan 04, 2007 01:11 pm lol ya good point

Jan 04, 2007 02:06 pm i guess taunting is in poor taste. but so is killing somebody by hanging them. its stupid for us to think we had the high moral ground in the first place. The dude was hanging, i dont think some idoits making fun of his tiny pee pee would have been on high on his list of things to be worried about.
hanging somebody, anybody, is in very low "taste" in my book. though raping and gassing are far lower. I'd hope some would agree.

Jan 04, 2007 02:18 pm Before becoming a despot, he was a hit man. He was a killer through and through. Best thing for him was to do the ol' Tyburn Dance.
By the way, it was the Iraqis that killed him, not the US. No moral high ground to stand on.
dB-Wan, perhaps we need a new community forum:
"Things that dB-Wan is pissed about!"
It's beyond "Talking Smack"

Jan 04, 2007 11:13 pm i'm a little baffled that people are making a big deal about ellison swearing himself in on a koran. so ridiculous. such a non-issue.
Jan 04, 2007 11:22 pm I don't find it surprising at all, it's that religious trigger that is very sensitive for some people. I don't think it's a NON issue, but it certainly isn't the biggest issue.
The bigger issue will prove to be what a worthless pain in the *** office holder this guy will wind up being.
Jan 05, 2007 05:45 am i'm with you on the taunting thing. i see no point in worrying abou that, and it's silly: its not even something that's under our control. it didnt happen in our country.
but the koran is a total non-issue. there's no basis for worrying about it except one, if you have a certain kind of fear in your heart: it's a harbinger of things to come. the country continues to diversify. it's something you can't stop unless you are willing to turn fascist.
makes no sense to swear on a book you don't believe in. that'd be akin to 'crossing your fingers behind your back,' wouldn't it. the koran issue strikes me as fundamentally messed up. as if the people who turn this into an issue are actively hoping to destroy themselves and their country. if they don't evolve and get with the times, the country is in for some serious trouble. because the future is coming.
Jan 05, 2007 06:12 am The way I see it, it isn't about the believing in the religious aspect of the Koran or the Bible. The two books are fundamentally different in a few ways regarding the laws to live by and whatnot. The country was founded on the basic tenets of the Judeo Christian value system, which the Bible represents. Stepping back from what a person swears on and looking with a wider lens, if a person doesn't believe in those basic tenets I don't want them sworn in, period, as they shouldn't be serving the country at all.
But, like I said, this is going to be small 'taters when this guy is in office for a while, it's going to pale in comparison to the whoping huge pain in the *** he is going to become.
Jan 05, 2007 10:41 am This country will only move forward once we take God (whatever it is) out of politics altogether.
Never happen in my lifetime.

The US was founded on a basis of religious freedom. That's why the pilgrims left the UK in the first place. Saying one religion is better, or more 'suitable' for a leader is not really in keeping with the idea. But I must say that the Koran does include passages about killing all infidels (non-Islamic), which is a bit worrying....
That said, I find a lot of the neo-con evangelicals to be a lot more scary.
Leave the religion out of politics, and the politics out of religion and we'll all be much happier.

Yep.
PS. My religion is so much better than yours....
};oP
Jan 05, 2007 11:05 am OK well, like I said, my thought on the Bible and politics isn't "religious" it's basic Judeo/Christian value system...don't kill, don't steal, don't commit adultery, don't be a dick, etc...not religious, just values, and admirable ones at that.
Depending on what one considers "moving forward" would say whether God should be in or out, personally I think moving forward requires bringing God in more. The way I see it society has gone steadily downhill since God has been progressively kicked further and further out of it...
Jan 05, 2007 11:13 am Basic Judeo-Christian value system? Heh. We could talk about the countless abominations in the old and new testaments celebrating torture and cruelty, not to mention the Crusades, but it's worth mentioning that religion doesn't guarantee quality of character any more than atheism disallows it.

That I agree with.
I do love it too when people talk about how much Biblical based religion sucks based on things that happened hundreds or even thousands or years ago.

It's also interesting that people like to pick and choose which parts of the Bible are valid and which are to be ignored as irrelevant to their religion.
Jan 05, 2007 11:35 am Assuming of course your using the Bible for "religion" as opposed to a framework or structure for living life...

Jan 05, 2007 05:31 pm I would have waited to hand him over for execution. The only reason being is that he was executed during US occupation. Saddam loyalists will blame us no matter what. **** is going to hit the fan :(
As far as taunting. Poor taste, sure, but I read up on many stories of him and his children, sick sick people that needed to die. Kidnapping wives on their wedding night, raping, torturing and then pouring acid on them. That was one of hundreds/thousands of atrocities.
He's dead and I'm not sad one bit, but I feel the U.S. will be a large target for many years to come.
Jan 05, 2007 07:35 pm last night i was trying to find the video of the 1979 ba'athist convention, where saddam had people taken outside and shot. (they'd thought they were there for another reason.) i remember that video as being startling, but i don't know the keywords. anyone?
wasn't don't be a dick the original 11th commandment?
