6. I feel the same about Blackwater as I do about the Gestapo.
They are very similar.

"The basic Gestapo law passed by the government in 1936 gave the Gestapo carte blanche to operate without judicial oversight. The Gestapo was specifically exempted from responsibility to administrative courts, where citizens normally could sue the state to conform to laws. As early as 1935, however, a Prussian administrative court had ruled that the Gestapo's actions were not subject to judicial review."

5. Not only should we not be using them, but we should be investigating
and indicting them for war crimes.

9. The way things work, they'll get more money, not less
look at how they've mutated into other things.

14. Do not fuck with the new Blackwater mods.
They will kill you, the person who posted before you, and some other person just for fun.



Just teasing mods, you know I love you, in that way.

15. Guess that explains the Unrecs
Not to mention the Gungeon and the 9/11 dungeon. A lot of those crowds could be on the EriKKK Prince payroll.

16. Why not use the Italian Mob?
They commit haneous acts murder, rape, roberry. They commit racketeering...

Blackwater as far as I am concerned is a Terrorist group. They are hoarding arms, they have many illegal arms that our military doesn't have. They are all over the world doing who knows what.....

19. I voted "no" but don't really see what other options Obama has
if he's going to get his war on in Afghanistan.

20. Who are the four that voted yes?
After everything that has come out about them, how Prince thinks as himself a self appointed Messiah, the overkill, the unnecessary civilian deaths, the child porn rings .... who would want these people representing us?
