    Bey is doing exactly what the terrorists want -- drawing attention to themselves. They can eat during Ramadan, just not during the day. They choose not to eat, so this is what they get.

    never forget

    Agreed.

    Mos Def was good in this one film with Bruce Willis, but he is an idiot.

    or having it brought on you, for little to no reason (and no realistic room for appeal---which is clearly unconstitutional by the way, as determined in Boumediene v. Bush).

    Was running two airplanes into the WTC constitutional? These aren't American citizens, and they are bringing this upon themselves by their own choosing.

    end of story.

    I don't know about Guantanamo as a whole, but what's the alternative? Either you just let them die, which would just make them look like martyrs (which is what they want) and would create even more hate, or you give them food. You have to give them food unless you want them to die. And it is these terrorists' choice to refuse food.

    Postbadlee, do you suggest to just let these people starve to death? Their hate goes so far that they would love to see themselves as "martyrs". What would be achieved by letting them starve to death?

    So for those who like to use the word "we" when referring to actions commited by the state, does this mean that "we" are force feeding these people? Are you and I morally responsible for it? If so, then hell surely awaits*. If not, then why not? Clearly, if "we" do something then you and I each are to be held accountable for our action. So either you and I (or, more accurately, those who vote**) are as culpable for this as O-bomb-ya himself or there is no "we" and the idea that you and I "are" the state is nonsense. And if "we" aren't the state, then what is the state? I'm glad you asked (Linked to mises.org when there are other links I could have used because I know NS prefers it this way).

    What some people see as martyrs, others see as crazy. Let them be.
    BTW, isn't starving yourself to death suicide?

    i liked the main point of this...a people and their government are distinct

    but then it said "it renders certain, secure, and relatively "peaceful" the lifeline of the parasitic caste in society"

    it puts the lotion in the basket

    So you want to allow them to kill themselves. You're a great person.

    Not taking a side in this debate but I am guessing that the people this is being done too are not as relaxed. It can be a seamless and painless procedure as long as you are going along with it but if you're not, then it can be a somewhat unpleasant.
