My use of the death squads was meant as an example of some people running amuck with the rights afforded them!


This is beginning to look familiar. Just when we're having a decent conversation, you take a sharp right turn....

YOU didn't use 'death squad' except in a quote of someone else. So what do you mean by your use of? Or running amuck? Do you mean death squads as people taking other lives thru broad interpretation and misuse of legislation aimed at easing suffering? Or do you mean something more like a death 'fad' where suicide is suddenly more accessible, legally, and hordes that would otherwise have suffered thru their particular adversity instead choose to remove themselves from the gene pool?
Either one seems bad, and i think everyone here is opposed to misuse and unchallenged, directed suicide. Except sear, who'd kill us all in our sleep to keep us out of HIS chair in the Back Room...

I can see THAT editorial... a society with a govt mandated 3-day wait to buy guns and a 6-day wait to commit suicide....HA! Heeehaha.
