My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

We would all be better served if "conversion by the sword" was acknowledged as the useless and self-defeating tactic that it is.
I suspect that I am more religious than either PJ or BG, but there is a thread of real truth to what they say. The person who has been "saved" should seek to guide others to that salvation by reasoned discussion and the goodly example of their own life. To establish an implicit human, not-quite-as-good-as-a-human dichotomy should be anathema -- but sadly it has happened in the past, and all too often.
"The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H. L. Mencken

Complete agreement with PJ... All his post(s), from the first letter to the last. Never thought it would happen.
I feel empty.

Since we changed names, we have received a grand slam of HoF awards. Me, powerful and green as Yoda I am. You, my padawan, destined to one day restore balance on the .org you are.
Foreseen, it is.

I'm confused. You're titled as a moderator, but I can't find you in the list of forum leaders. Which forum are you assigned to?Little did they realise this was not an empthy threat...

Like all new moderators, he's on latrine duty. Once we've stapled a tea towel to his handsome but secular features, he'll be allowed out.
