For some reason, I don't believe most would do that...
I think we all run through that scenerio in our minds...like theater...but think of all the homocides that occur yearly...and very very rarely do you hear of a family member seeking retribution...
It's like something stronger, better, rises in people during those times...
And as long as they get justice in the court, most seem content on that...
But hey, I've thought the same thing in my mind, but again...I don't nessicarily see it as 'evil' meeting 'evil'...
I just see it as a distraut person, trying to exact 'justice' for their loved one...

If someone shoots at you and you shoot back, you are not "eveil", you are defending yourself, or acting as part of a military organization, or serving as a police officer, protecting yourself and others for which you are charged with protecting.
"Evil"? Are you serious? I suppose I'm exceptionally "evil", since I've returned fire, as well as fired pre-emptively.SheepDog Thanks this. -
"Evil" ,or "right" is all relative,as it depends on what side you are on,every army,in every war,thought they were "right" Even Al QUIDA,thinks they are right..It is of course,a crazy,mixed up world,and,oh,mr.ronin;I too,have been shot at,self defense is just that,I was speaking of revenge..Personal revenge at that;a little off topic for this thread,for which I apologize..

ronin, I know of "pre-emptive" strikes.
But, as a citizen/civilian.
I also know of "attacking" to be defensive.
In life in our "safe" environment, is there really a difference?
I certainly don't believe so....I'm ALWAYS "on-alert".
So, I'm guessing that if I hurt someone who I perceive as a threat, and they turn out to be NOT, am I then, the aggressor?

The best definition of true "evil" I've heard to date is the need for absolute control over another person or group of people. In lacking control, an "evil" person or group would then seek the destruction of thosewho cannot or will not be controled. Sound familiar? Acts of evil under this definition can be seen throughout all of human history. Many wars have been fought for control of land, and thereby the control of the people who live on the land. After all, land is worthless to government unless it produces, and to produce land needs people like farmers, herders, and workers. Cults seek control of their "members" to the point of excluding their membership from the rest of society. Dictators demand control over their entire ruled population through the use of propaganda, secret police, and fear. And so on and so forth.
As far as bin Laden being dead, I'll believe it when I see the body. Oops...some idiot threw it into the ocean. So much for proof. Anybody else noticing how convenient this is for various politicians? Or am I the only one checking out the Koolaid before drinking? -
Bin Laden's sister died in Boston. They preserved her brain just for this DNA moment.

The MLK quote in this scenario is offensive. The MLK quote is beautiful in its own right, and in its own place - a civil rights right. Large difference between radical terrorism and multiple attacks vs a civil rights riot or debate.
Bumpy Thanks this. -
Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American soldier, who Obama and Congress just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. Obama just happened to be the one in office when our soldiers finally found OBL and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!!
SheepDog Thanks this. -
The Bin Laden family has alot of family memebers and own tons of multi-million dollar property here in Boston.

Supposedly they had DNA from his sister whom had died in the U.S. sometime back.........
Be some sheet if he pops up on another video huh?
simplyred1962 Thanks this.
