That's why I'm convinced that you have to make the arguments substantial. If there is a design point to make, fine. Do it.
But don't waste time on stylistic arguments.

Well, everybody dies, and clearly interrogation is not a health enhancer. So I guess it kind of goes without saying.

People are griping about systemd: is it just another bike shed argument, or does anybody have a point?

Absolute truth is defined by God. Mankind is existentially estranged from the essential goodness of creation in God's image (Tillich). Past that, I'm unclear as to what "it" is in your formulation. "It" appears to be a handwave upon which an accusation is based.

Hey, if these mental gymnastics are working for you, then I say: "Why mess with a good thing?".
Y'all stay superior now, hear?

She's "deserves" the Oval Office because it's "her turn".

Which is precisely why he'll take the nomination and clear the decks of those pesky Tea Party voters.

You placing the Bush43 admin below BHO in the rankings? I find that interesting.

I don't approve of torture.
However, if you're operating anywhere above the Amish subsistence farming level, then you're either implicitly or explicitly, directly or indirectly, interacting with a government that has done Nasty things. You're not impressive, nor are you doing much that I can see to minimize the practice.

Questions:
Which one involved actual loss of life and distorted an election?
If we can't hold police accountable when appropriate, when are we going to prosecute politicians?
Would your torture prosecutions begin at square #1, i.e., the Clinton Administration?

Probably need to distinguish between 'lawful' and 'chaotic' evil with these D&D characters.

How did you possibly get "only addressing the target" out of my reply?
Oh, wait: your usual "make it up as you go" process. Never mind!

When, seriously, did

occur? Can you please provide a link? I'm genuinely curious what Darth Cheney is purported to have done.

When, how, what? The VP breaks ties in the Senate, IIRC.

And now you're gonna get all Speech Police? Time for a new tampon, in my estimation.

Wait, so, a bit of potty mouth is 'using the constitution as toilet paper'. Tell me, are you strangely comfortable with Obama's Executive Amnesty? Let me guess: it's "fair"?

Oh, come on: Uncle Choo-Choo is the Court Jester. He makes as many borderline comments as he wants, and shag-all is said.
What a sanctimonious putz you are.

Your scenarios don't involve you holding an office, with possibly numerous lives hanging in the balance. Hopefully, such a situation never finds either of us. But let me offer that, in a zero-sum situation, your cricket bat might be called into action that any morally lively person will have problems managing after the fact.

If our Postmodern era has anything to teach, it's that you never know when some jackwagon is going to move the line, and suddenly reading Dr. Seuss in a normal tone of voice is considered "torture". Probably due to some latent racism & bigotry of which you were also unaware.
