The entire middle east is incredibly barbaric. Saudia Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Iran are all brutal against anyone who doesn't go with the flow. They chop hands off in Saudi Arabia if you steal something. Ask Palestinians what happens inside Israeli interrogation centers when they don't fess up. In Iran they stone women to death if they aren't faithful to their spouse. Russia, China, Singapore, North Korea all have cruel harsh systems and on and on. Its a brutal world. Saddam was certainly the number one sadist. But he's not alone.
90 Miles south of Miami Fidel Castro just sentenced a group of dissidents who he accused of working against the government to sentences up to almost 30 years. No crime. Just for acting in a way that was against Fidel. 3 cubans who commandered a ferry to get out of cuba and come to the US, were tried and executed by firing squad in only 7 days.
So the world is horrible when it comes to human rights. The USA has its share of horror stories as well. Research some of the stuff the CIA has done over the past 50 years.
Now go back in history a bit. Ya know the things the King of England used to do to people? How about the what the Nazi's did to the Jews? Its beyond most people's comprehension. The Puritans in the US used to burn women alive at the stake who they thought were unpure and witches.
So lets not kid ourselves. Everyone has blood on their hands. Its a nasty, cruel world. Never forget every day 1 Billion of us don't even get a fucking meal, the majority of that billion are little children. What the fuck, I say to that! If that isn't a crime against the humanity of the world what is?
The US has 2 Million of its citizens locked up in jail. That's one out of every 150 people. That is scary to me. A lot of those people's only crime was smoking a fucking plant. How absolutely absurd and injust.
This entire planet is fucked up. Its completely off kilter. I don't even know if its possible to fix. Bad people are the problem. How do we fix the bad people of the world? There are hundreds of millions of them out there. They make this planet an evil place.
