Maybe you should read again my first post. I really dont care what they are doing.

As for us using drones, hey guess what? military conflicts cause causalities....not all of them bad guys. Im not going to grieve about that either. Its called being realistic and understanding why military conflict should be a last resort.

Theres no hypocrisy here, so I am trying to understand your point. help me out, why am I a hypocrite.

Mind you, im not saying i like any of these things, im just saying that one is none of our business, and the other is a reality of warfare. Not a big fan of that either.

these are the same FILTH that rape and women and CHILDREN and keep them as sex slaves.

Unfortunately, innocent people have always been killed in times of conflict. This is how it's always been.

Actually, he means that it's nice and all to make a big deal about stoning..while you send drones over to bomb innocent people..

Yeah, but the world has evolved to the point that indiscriminate killing should be behind us.

Not to mention that we shouldn't be using these drones anyway in the places we're using them.

Because it wouldn't stop others of like mind from doing the same thing in the future. Drones won't change a thing. Except make us warm and fuzzy believing we did something meaningful.

[warm and fuzzy is for the naïve]

Is stoning the only socially acceptable violence these people are allowed?

He wasn't too fond of the money changers either but many here hold them up as shining examples of industry.
