Alas though I shall refrain from drinking scotch until this terrorist dies a natural death.

As much as I would like to smoke a Cuban Cigar, I won't as long as it is against the law. It doesn't matter that I personally think the embargo is stupid and ineffective and is only still in place because St. John Kennedy ordered it.

I guess that's why I favor the death penalty.

The only problem being that the death penalty actually incurs higher taxpayer cost than does life imprisonment.

Bring back the Firing Squads.

200 rounds 7.62x51 (.308) = $135.99

Hell, we could save BILLIONS by training our Soldiers how to shoot and kill the enemy, all while saving taxpayers money!!!!

Here's smothing cheaper, give him a gun with one bullit and give him the option to take care of him self or die a slow painfull death. And I'm with the boycott all the way. Payback is a *****.

I dont like scotch anyways...I will stick with my Kentucky made bourbono!

Silound · 08-20-2009, 10:42 PM

Know what? Screw that idea. I'll drink my scotch and enjoy it thank you.

As one person said already, it's not like these distilleries have the say on this matter, why hurt the people who depend on the sales of the scotch to make a living? Many boycotts end up being nothing more than a fanatical statement that hurts someone unintended rather than the source of the problem. Here, I point that by attempting a boycott, you are doing nothing more than attempting (indirectly) to instill terror in the lives of the distillery workers and liquor distributor employees by threatening their sources of income. There is no justification in taking out anger on innocent people.

I also fail to see why the nation of Scotland should bear the cost of keeping a convicted terrorist alive and reasonably pain-free for the last year of his life and then bear the cost of a funeral. I also fail to see why our "boycotting" scotch will have any beneficial effect towards this cause. The guy will die anyway (given), and the citizens of Scotland don't have to pay for his death now. Win-Win.

So thank you, no. I'll continue to drink and enjoy my scotch, knowing that I'm helping assure the well-being and way of life of some family in Scotland who may have lost a loved one on that flight, or who may not be as fortunate to stand on a soapbox and preach about right or wrong as I am here in the US.

Celebrations in Tripoli. A hero's welcome. Yeah, that was a good idea. They should have sent him back with a hidden "present".

BTW, boycotting scotch and even boycotts in general are never a great way to make a point. The general wave of public opinion is usually effective on it's own, as much as it can be. It's too late to do anything about the release of the terrorist but not too late to send follow up messages.

We live in a world run by morons following a consensus generated by a committee based on polls taken from people who know nothing about the issues except what they hear on the Daily Show.

I have a better idea. As the terrorist problem is mainly due to Islamic fundamentalists, why don't we boycott oil instead? That'll teach them!

The vast majority of oil used by the US is not from Islamic fundamentalists.
Boycotts seldom have any effect anyway. They can only work if everyone boycotts and keeps boycotting. See how well embargoes and sanctions work.

He only hits his wife after he hits the scotch. I see a pattern developing.

I am going to boycott developing patterns.
