So, Guantanamo! Still there...
9 Replies
I heard on the radio that hunger strikes are happening again at Guantanamo, and thought to myself: "Huh Guantanamo? Still there?"... And also, the best way to deal with hunger strikers, still is to…Continue

Joseph Fergus Curran replied to Eystein,'s discussion So, Guantanamo! Still there..."We can't take a 224-year old document and ask it to tell us how we should handle a post-globalization threat like international stateless terrorism. We can only hope to understand the reason, for instance, that the Suspension Clause exists and…"
Eystein, replied to Sabrina's discussion Should the Pledge of Allegiance have the phrase "one nation, under God"?"Yes, but this is the sort of everyday bullshit everyone can relate to, and eventually will have to make up their own mind about. So in a way, maybe it is a valuable lesson, even if it is a different kind than what is originally intended.
I suppose…"
Eystein, replied to Eystein,'s discussion So, Guantanamo! Still there..."Further, if we were to read the clause 100% literally was it neither a rebellion, nor an invasion, that caused the detention of these people. Nor has there been any while they have been so."
Eystein, replied to Eystein,'s discussion So, Guantanamo! Still there..."That is correct. I don't think the justification for such a delay has been met, not by a long shot. There has been ample chance to bring forth the evidence and run the trials.
As the clause is just a sentence long it is impossible for me to…"
Eystein, replied to Michael Lee's discussion Edward Snowden and the NSA leaks"Even if I were to accept that all this can be for the better, it doesn't explain the complete secrecy and deception. Even half your representatives doesn't know what's going on. Either that, or they're lying, just like Obama did.…"
Joseph Fergus Curran replied to Eystein,'s discussion So, Guantanamo! Still there..."So, you agree that the Suspension Clause allows prisoners to be held for prolonged periods of time when public safety must be allowed, but simply don't think those are the current circumstances? Well, I guess I can respect that opinion."

Eystein, replied to Latch33570's discussion Why aren't younger Americans upset about social security?"It is my understanding that things affecting everyone have a tendency of working itself out.

Eystein, replied to Susan Roberts's discussion Questions and Comments: Iraqi Birth Defects"Okay? Why would Saddam bomb a federal office in Oklahoma? I'd be surprised if he'd even knew of the place For people eternally at war with the US only three places matter: New York, New York and Washington. "
Eystein, replied to Eystein,'s discussion So, Guantanamo! Still there..."I assume it is this you mean. First let me just say that I didn't start this rant because I'm any kind of expert on any form of law, US or other. I'm only concerned about what is right, and in the case of these prisoners, great…"
Eystein, replied to Susan Roberts's discussion Questions and Comments: Iraqi Birth Defects"Well, to be frank, in this respect it sort of is America's fault. Strictly speaking, you didn't have to go and rescue the Iraqis from Saddam. There really was no immediate reason for doing so. And while doing so, you didn't have to…"

Eystein, replied to Brendan J. Shimizu's discussion If someone asked you "Do you want to know if God exists?" and the person REALLY knows, would you say yes?"There would be a way of knowing him if he wanted us to. If he behaved anything like he's depicted in the OT, I think there would be little room for doubt whether or not he was there. I suppose you could of course always question whether or not…"

The Toast Dragon (James) said… It looked like it'd take me a while to get back up to date with it, which I may do at some point. In the meantime though, I'm working on a video explaining where the human race stands in the quest to understand the origin of life so I'll make sure you get that :)

Actually I kind of get paranoid, so I only message with it. I got it in order to talk to my cousin who lives in Berlin. Then I saw the group at Nerdfighters and joined....

Well, it'll be another year before I actually take the trip (that's the plan). Most people my age go backpacking in Asia or South America or Africa. Couch-surfing is only one possibility I'm thinking of. I'm still not sure because of how scary it is (crashing in a stranger's home) and besides, my mom won't let me go because she's worried too. If I can convince her (and myself) that it's not that scary, then I might try it out :)

It's just something I want to start but haven't yet. I want to do it in the future maybe, as a hobby.
I'm not currently studying anything right now but I hope to go to university in the future. Maybe something in Biology or Medicine. I don't know. Before that I have to decide where I'm going for a trip. Have you heard of couch surfing? My cousin told me about it and it sounds really cool but also scary :(
