Amnesty International is apparently just another world wide joke. Kinda like France. I read an article about how they want to shut down the prison at Guantanamo Bay. That's where we are keeping the 540 enemy combatants that we have captured in Afghanistan. Also mentioned in their yearly report was Haiti. This made me laugh, and it points out just how full of crap Amnesty Int. is.
"In Haiti, human rights violators who led the rebellion that ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide last year were able to retake key positions, while the government struggled to maintain control from armed groups, Amnesty said."
Those terrible Hatians. How dare they overthrow the corrupt, unjust leadership that has become rich off of foreign aid while their own people starve to death.
I don't know what goes on at Guantanamo, but i have been able to witness the aftermath of Aristides rule, and speak with those who lived here before. Chances are, Aristide is a "supporter" of Amnesty just like he is of the other international organizations that support him. So, i'm naturally lead to conclude that since they obviously have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to Haiti, then i must doubt they're credibility on all other issues, including, but not restricted to Guantanamo Bay.
Another beef i have with Amnesty is their like of solutions. They want Guantanamo shut down, but what is to be done with the prisoners? Release them? Send them home? Put them in jails in their homeland? Put them in American jails? And what about Haiti? I bet their solution would be to put Aristide back. That tends to be the common solution among the liberals & media such as John Kerry and the Clintons. I guess they don't think much of the Declaration of Independence.
"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,"
Thats what the Hatians did.

UR last 2 posts were good this one I agree with. Amnesty Intl is just a front for communist, socialist & dictators.
UR previous post on shame. I like ur method, it is questioning, trying to find other opinions. I do however think we do still have shame, even though we are saved, mainly b/c we are human.
An example lets say a person is a child molester has been convicted, served their time, then are released, then they get saved. They may move to some place where no one knows them, but they will still have the shame.
about 20 yrs ago a man was drunk and ran into a bus of Christian School students and killed most if not all of them. He later got saved, but he still has to live with what he has done.
I know in my life and I'm sure if u think about it there are things in ur life u have done and got away with(from me & ur mom or teachers, etc)u then realized u were wrong & asked God to forgive u. He forgive u, but I bet depending on the thing u still think about it at different times & u are probably not going around telling people about them.
what is ur other blog page.
GOD BLESS LUV YA DAD
Just because it happens doesn't make it the best thing to do. Yes, to our minds carrying the guilt seems "reasonable," but what seems reasonable to us does not necessarily make it biblical.
I maybe didn't explain myself rite. I didn't say it was rite but people still have shame & we need to be careful if we r aware of someone elses shame, not to talk about it unless they want us to.
Shame is kinda like worry, we shouldn't do it, but to varying degrees we all do it.
Good point. I just hope you realize that my post had nothing to do with how we should treat other people, it is all about how we should behave personally. And still, the "we all do it" excuse is unnaccaptable on any level.
It IS a good point with how we should keep in mind that everyone may not share our views, but it is a mute point when it comes to personal growth.
I wasn't using "we all do it" as an excuse. generally i agree, b/c shame just like worry, the devil brings up to cause us challenges.
I do feel we have to be careful how we judge others reaction to things we know are their shame.
GOD BLESS LUV YA DAD
