True, but it just comes across differently in today's world compared to, say, the Crusades or the Holocaust. Maybe it just feels less normalized now? Also rich how much Islam gets demonized for reasons every bit as applicable to Christianity. Heck IIRC there are more Muslims than Christians in the world so it's not like Islam is some overall minority religion. --- Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders? ...

LordoftheMorons posted... Jesus Christ Don't agree with this decision. Why do you only have a right to counsel pre-conviction? If you had ineffective counsel pre-conviction then you need effective counsel post-conviction to get the conviction vacated. Otherwise you never get to exercise your right to counsel at all because your pre-conviction counsel was ineffective! I get the general principle here (the Supreme Court may not make or change laws in contradiction to laws passed by Congress and many many cases going back to the FDR's appointees in the late 1930s are illegitimate and need to be overturned). But this feels like a constitutional issue, where the 6th Amendment should control over any statute passed by Congress. SCOTUS has the power to decide statutes are unconstitutional, and if the statute they cite really forbids review of an ineffective assistance claim as they say it does, then it should be unconstitutional, at least as applied. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...

"Making of a Murderer" being the most obvious and egregious example There isn't one.

That is the system working correctly. Deciding to write off the debt because "they feel really bad about their choice" breaks the system and makes pretty much all of society pointless. The problem here is you can't really repossess an education, no matter how useless it was.
