As you may or may not know, there is considerable concern in the UK (can't speak
for elsewhere) about the treatment of the prisoners in Cuba - glad to see that
such concerns are without foundation ;)

Nice image, pretty good idea, nice clean image.

I'm sure the prisoners are being treat much better than they deserve and 
much better than they treated the CIA agent that they tortured and killed.

The sad fact is that folks of John's mindset run prisons around the world:

From an Amnesty report on Turkey:

>>In 1999, Amnesty International received a number of reports of
unacknowledged detention and torture of Kurdish villagers. For example,
between 8 and 12 June some 50 people from Tilkiler and four other villages
in the Kahraman Maras province, Törolar, Çöçenler, Sall_usa__ and Musolar,
were taken into detention at the Pazarc_k Gendarmerie Command and reportedly
severely beaten and otherwise tortured. Methods of torture included being
forced to eat human excrement, being suspended by their arms which were tied
behind their backs, being truncheoned and being sprayed with pressurized
water. One of the detainees disclosed to his lawyer that: ''They did not
take us to toilets, so that we had to excrete where we were hung. We were
covered with excrement as we could not clean ourselves while we were hung.
Later, they put excrement on the truncheon, and inserted the truncheon into
my mouth. They inserted the truncheon into my anus [...] throughout the
eight days they forced me to sit naked on the concrete floor, and without
allowing me to lie down''.
<<

From an Amnesty report on China:
>>. He was detained again, denied food, hung upside down, whipped and beaten
with wooden clubs and burned with cigarette butts. He reportedly became
doubly incontinent, his body covered in excrement. The officials reportedly
then branded his lower body with soldering irons, tied wire around his
genitals and ripped off his penis. Zhou died on 15 May 1998. <<



Those who follow Jesus, OTOH, are reminded in Hebrews:

"Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those
who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."


Those who are able to remember mistreatment as if they themselves were
mistreated can turn to:

    Did I ever accuse anyone of actually trying to choke anyone? Or even of
being of the "mindset' of someone who would? I didn't think so, thank you.

    Of course there -were- no -real- choking jokes here, just some smarmy
comments implying a wish that Bush would choke, which I simply commented on.
I did not accuse anyone of the type of cruelty Greg linked to John.

The Taliban who were shipped to Cuba were shaved, for hygiene reasons.
The spokesman for the US government pointed out that there is no
Koranic requirement for men to have beards, ergo the shaving did not
violate the religion the men professed to have.

The tasteless thing is when people treat each other really bad. Someone did
a really tasteless deed at Sept 11 that I couldn't imagine in my worst
dreams. No justice can be expected to come out of this, only more violence,
when people have to fight people. But it seems to me that those who love to
fight are worse than those who don't. No matter where on earth they come
from cause they can be found everywhere. Mankind should persue better
qualities. And some do this. For example, some believes it's not our job to
do justice all by ourselves. It always makes someone else feel we step on
them. Many believes it's better to learn not to hate, not to use violence,
but do good things that does not harm.. Some believes there might be a God,
although silent at the moment, who will do justice.

But I realize this topics are ... off topics.. I don't wish to be flamed or
start a discussion you know, but you may consider it a comment to the
picture.

I find I have a deep seated anger at the atrocity of Sept 11.  I recall reading
that a partisan in this cried that "the streets of America would stink with the
dead."  And then it came true.  The image in question is a gut level response.
And I for one finds that it resonates with my own feelings.

    So you feel that the folks who did Monte Python -really- want to go
around cutting off people's limbs? Robin Williams did a long improv about
crippled people baking in the sun, do you think he has the "mindset" of
someone who would really tie a legless man out in the dessert? I heard a
doctor joke about getting a phone call while operating on someone's
intestines and having them trail behind him as he left surgery, do you think
that he wants to kill people by disembowelment?

    More to the point, do you think that John is the type of person who
would torture a prisoner? Do you think that you can tell this about him by
his joke?

    Follow ups set -again-...

It seems to me that by making these pictures we only make everyone more
angry.  I realize it's a statement about how we are all feeling, but it also
becomes propaganda.  I think all of us as artists have a responsibility not
to encourage the public to think in negative, violent ways.  They can do
that enough on their own.

I don't think this is the right group for such discussion. We should definitely
continue this thread on p.o-t. I just expressed my personal opinion and didn't expect
all those me-too's responses here.

Absolutely not! I was not even hinting at it. I was reacting to the comment:

>>>"The sad fact is that your

>>>"mind-set"
>>> of people who would actually -do- such things.

as Greg M. Johnson stated. I should have cut off the quotation a litte bit
earlier, leaving out the "mindset"-part, then my reaction would be clearer.

But on the other hand, I cannot interpret mr. VanSickles original posting as
a mere burlesque joke, referring to the subject-line he chose.

regards,
Simen.

    And this is what you find to be BS? You must have missed most of the
religious wars in this little world.

    This says more about you than it does about him.

The sign of a civalized society is how it treats it's enemies.  Don't
let yourself be brought down by the actions of others.
