Taliban massacre Peshawar School

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Peshawar_school_attack

145 people, predominantly school children, were slaughtered in a terrorist attack on a Pakistani school last Tuesday. What are your thoughts on this horrific attack and the response?

Mindship Snap out of it.

Act of desperation by the Medieval Obsolete.

On the side: I always wondered what happened to the pawn who shot Malala, who is now celebrated worldwide. What was the price of his truly epic and utterly humiliating failure?

Those responsible need Guantanamo treatment. Nothing wrong with torturing terrorists.

Yeah, f*ck human rights. Raw emotion is the only judgement needed.

If the world cared about human rights, the world would be a much different place.

Given that there was a time very recently when no one did care, and it was a time that would suck balls to live in, then yeah, I agree; having so many people in the world today who care about fundamental human rights has made the world a very different place. For the better. That there's still a bunch who don't agree or care doesn't negate the achievements of those that do, nor the importance of having them around. They're the kind of people we need more, not radical executioners of blind hate.

As far as I'm concerned, they gave up their human rights after targeting and killing children.

As far as you, me or Joe Shmoe are concerned is not the be-all and end-all of these matters. I'm pretty sure that as far as the Taliban is concerned, you have given up your right to life the moment you chose not to embrace Islam.

I mean, even if you take this position (and there's something to be said for it, for sure), it still leads to the question of who is in a moral position to do the torturing.

I think the only way you could have ethically consistent torture is if someone became a torturer with the understanding that they would be held accountable for what they do.

There's something to be said about torturing for a reason, eg gaining info that will save lives (though this has severe known flaws)

Torturing for punishment though, that arguably makes you the monster

Anyone who dares to be in disagreement with anything needs to be tortured.

IDK about that. You can't equate American pragmatism with people who intend to commit mass murder of innocents.

That "pragmatism" is the ends justifying the means. It's still torture, just torture that you agree with.

Instead of waterboarding we should institute tickling as torture. It can break anyone.

Sorry that my sympathy doesn't lie with those who wish to commit mass murder of innocents and install an extremely repressive theocracy.

😂

I think that's the first time I've seen you make a joke about a subject you cared about.

Would anyone here fantasize about torture if someone brutally killed your family?
It's easy to preach about following the moral high ground until terrorism actually hits close to home with your own family.
