I fully admit that I’m walkin’, talkin’ ball of contradiction, but please hear me out.<\/p>\n
I was watching the news last night and they showed footage of some U.S. marines (America’s finest, yeah, right) standing by a cliff. Anyway, it showed two soldiers; One was all talk, the other was holding a puppy (or small dog) by it’s back with one hand. The dog was just hanging there looking sad (it made me think of that cartoon dog, Droopy). <\/p>\n
There was some joking going around, then all of a sudden the man holding the dog pulls his arm back and tosses the dog through the air and over a cliff. You can hear the dog yelping as it hurdles across the sky and down the cliff.<\/p>\n
WTF!?!?!<\/p>\n
Who the hell does shit like this?<\/p>\n
Now, here’s where my contradiction appears. I’m 100% against the death penalty in this country. I don’t believe in that whole “an eye for an eye” theory of punishment. But in this case, I want this man tortured. I want him to suffer excrutiating pain. Waterboard him? Fine by me. Whip? Sure. Cane? Absolutely. And while you’re at it, I wouldn’t mind so much if you accidently cut him a few times with dull knives. Then pour lemon juice on top. OOOOH – how about singeing all of his body hair with flame?<\/p>\n
Seriously, I was so disgusted by that video and I’m not even a dog person. Then again, I’m also the guy who hates killing bugs, too. I’m not afraid of them, in fact, I love to watch them do their thing when they’re on a surface near me. They’re so alien. If I find a bug or spider in the house, I’ll bring it outside. <\/p>\n
I’m sure this lean, mean, killing-machine of a marine is not the standard marine. But I hope his ass gets caught…<\/p>\n
…and then pummelled with the sharp end of a broomstick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
