^Your last comments proved it.

No, you are not that awful. You are so, so much worse.

At least you won't have children to indocrinate with your batshit ideology, so hey, that's something.

@Padraig Islam is a great problem. Peafowls are a worse problem.

ISIS is ossified, idiotic and cruel but not degenerate. That title goes to peafowls who are even worse than ISIS.

War is always degenerate, Daesh included. It destroys culture, families, history, just everything. In very rare cases the positives have outweight the negatives.
Daesh is a prime example of a totally irrational ideology. They even refuse to accept their incoming defeat and keep fighting instead of preserving their manpower.

Rikku, do you think the Daily Mail is a high quality paper?

I read it on the Internet alot that Daily Mail is so bad. Is it really that bad, or do people just echo each other?

Anyway don't ever allow a really bitter man like me to get any power. That's frightening.

I promise you I would make every effort to see that would not happen.

I got your back, that's what friends are for.

No website respects him

War between small professional armies (willing participants) where the rules of engagement are clearly defined - such as war between feudal kingdoms in the European Middle Ages - provides a means for men to exhibit heroism and honor. Total war between superior people and barbarians is also generative. Modern war is degenerate because it is fought for "peace"; heroism is seen as "brutality" and cowardice is seen as virtuous.

Is the rationality or maturity of this individual important in a judicial context?

In the tradition of the Law, in the West, there is a long history of the principle that the state of mind of an individual has a bearing on the question of that persons culpability, and indeed upon the question of what punishment should -with justice- be brought to bear.

The lack of mens rea (Latin legal term for "guilty mind") or a person being Non compos mentis (Latin legal term meaning "not of sound mind") are concepts which are directly concerned with the state of mind of a person who is being judged. And it is the case that the young are given special consideration by the law.

It is in accord with the wish to live in a just society that this should be the case.

The rationality and the maturity of Linda Wenzel, or the lack of those qualities, are and ought to be important in a judicial context. Further exactly what her actions were, as opposed to what we might guess her actions were, is relevant.

On the field of battle we may kill our foe when under threat, with the most extreme prejudice, but having captured our foe, we hold our selves to a higher standard. We do so out of a concern for our own decency and virtue.

It is beneath us to do otherwise.

We are always under existential threat from a foe, so it is always justified to kill him. At no point is any organic force simultaneously at peace with every other organic force; life is war. Virtue is transcendent, but not in the context of kindness toward enemy, since enemy is threat to form and form is transcendent; kindness toward enemy is symbolic of surrender and on a grand scale, kindness is simply surrender itself.

It is in the nature of the young to act irrationally, so we don't put children to death for crimes. It is not in the nature of an adult to commit crimes; a retarded adult is an inferior adult, or a failed adult. A 16-year-old German ISIS fighter is inferior, decadent; a traitor.

I am not advocating an excusal of whatever her behavior may have been because she is young, and/or naive. She is subject to the treatment the Iraqi government decide to give her.

But we were not there.

If anyone may make a determination as to what she did, or did not do, it would be the men who interrogated her upon being captured. I am not satisfied that the mere fact, of being married to one of these damnable ISIS-men, merits death. If she fought for ISIS, and killed for ISIS, she is a killer.

If she did not, then the situation is more nuanced.

Every ISIS member should be executed.

@TAbby why are cats great?

Kill her, do it.
