Now this is a really varied, eclectic mix! I don't actually have any of these songs on my own mix discs, but I'm familiar with quite a few of the artists, and I like the way you mix things up! Pretty cool... (Love the title, too, by the way!)

Research consistently shows that torture improves the odds of getting accurate information
from the detainee. If shredding a thousand f*cking Muslims can save one U.S. soldier,
then bring on the water boards and slice their testicles in half. Stupid, retro, f'n
Dhimmies. But I guess this mix is your brand of rant & that's cool.

Fine, fine mix. I'm anxiously awaiting Luftkin's next post which will include, I'm sure, links to that research and the name of the one US soldier he has in mind.

Well, you can always tell when a Republican has materialized, as they tend to say things like "Research consistently shows..." while somehow forgetting to include a hyperlink. And, as we all know, research consistently shows that Republicans have 47 fewer IQ points than Democrats. (I'll get you a cite shortly, so you'll just have to trust me!) (Oh, of course, for people who actually DO include cites, they'd know that studies consistently show that torture is useless. But beyond whether or not it works, we have to play by the same rules as our enemies. So if we're willing to "bring on the water boards and slice their testicles in half," then we of course have to volunteer our American soldiers to the same interrogation techniques, and can't complaint about the evil enemy when they do that to our captured soldiers. So it's nice of Luftkin to volunteer American soldiers to have their testicles sliced in half should they be captures -- I look forward to his posting his name and phone number so soldiers know where to contact him and thank him. Notably, while volunteering our soldiers for testicle slicing, it appears that Luftkin is sitting at home making mixes and posting comments online rather than serving in Iraq. Gosh, how shocking.

Love your title, cover, response to the knucklehead (as Lally correctly noted), and tracks 1-3, 5-7, 11, 13 and 20... and it's been a long time since I've thought of/heard that Every Mother's Son track.

Ah ha! Someone told me this was a BDS Echo Chammber, and they were right. You're all as nutty as Cindy "Next House Speaker" Sheehan.
The information gotten through torture is certainly no less reliable than the information gotten through any other means.
All information gotten from suspects is unreliable. Torture makes it no more unreliable. On top of that, we are not talking
about getting info for prosecution, but info to act upon. Info that can be checked, and the suspect approached after the check.
Under conditions of war, I wouldn't tell the truth unless someone tortured me - assuming that I believed in the righteousness of my
position. If you think that we can turn people's views of right and wrong and get them to turn against their own people and co-islamists
more quickly than with heavy pain, and somehow think that the information gotten in some other way is somehow better than that tortured
out of someone who knows that you want THE TRUTH, then get yr brains examined (BDS). The world has to learn how to fight
against tribal cultures. They value things differently than we do (as liberals are unable to comprehend). Anyway cheers, fellas!

Amazing... the guy comes back for a second comment, with plenty of time between, yet still can't come up with a single cite for the proposition that torture works. I guess we can assume he's given up looking for that research he mentioned.
Me, I like the part where he says "Under conditions of war, I wouldn't tell the truth unless someone tortured me." Yeah, it's great when conservatives talk about "conditions of war" while sitting comfortably in the living room typing on the computer. Real courage of your convictions there. Show us your enlistment papers (especially the part where you say that, by enlisting, you agree to have your testicles sliced open if you're captured because you believe those are the appropriate rules for enemy combatants) and then you might have some credibility.

I'm on the fence about torture....testicle slicing sounds a bit extreme....however, I do kind of like having my nipples pinched.
Great mix , by the way

What makes Luftkin think his "tribal culture" superior to anybody else's?

Super mix by the way.

HA!. You guys are almost as entertaining as the goofballs at Daily Kos. I probably should just have written "Super, Mix, dude", put on the Pelosi/Reid tinfoil hat and blended in.

You're right, PK! Not only are torture advocates (I think that calling Luftkin's position "Republican" is actually giving him too much credit, and that's certainly saying something) adverse to the use of logic or factual support when fashioning their arguments, but apparently their IQ scores *are* at least 47 points lower than the IQ scores of those who support the tenets of the Geneva Convention, as demonstrated by Luftkin's lack of familiarity with basic rules of punctuation (unless he has traditionally received extra points from the Fox News Charter School for using both an exclamation point when ending a single sentence fragment). (Incidentally, Luftkin, recognizing that your remarks about torture are beyond asinine doesn't automatically indicate support for either Pelosi or Reid's actions--or rather, a shameful lack of such--since they assumed control of Congress last January. If either of those legislative leaders would have thus far shown the slightest hint of initiative and/or courage of conviction, our soldiers would probably be home from that fundamentally disgusting, beyond-senseless, Republican-bred quagmire--where you rightfully belong, of course, kicking back while an upstanding member of the local "tribal culture" fillets at least one of your testicles with a fitfully sharpened putty knife.)

Struck a nerve? The entire Middle East is collapsing because of the completely misdirected actions of a towel-snapping fratboy dunce and his band of roving "brain cells" (none of whom could be bothered to serve in the military during the conflict of *their* generation, yet are more than comfortable sending everyone else's kids to die), whose actions have been undeniably successful at one thing: unearthing centuries-old resentments from previously warring factions from the "tribal culture" that you so condescendingly mentioned and allowing them to form a multi-faceted insurgency. (Aren't you a college boy? What the fuck have you done with your life that entitles you to to be so condescending about entire populations?) Whether one blames it on the fact that W. and his minions shouldn't have invaded Iraq in the first place or the fact that we bungled the management of the war from the second Baghdad fell, we blew it. And people--real people, Americans and otherwise--are being picked off like sitting ducks at an alarming rate because of this mismanagement. This makes me physically recoil every day. Then I click on my friend's mix and see testosterone-deluded college kids like you praising torture (and thus impliedly opening up that option for our enemies, who could very well then torture not just Americans, but people that I know personally), citing non-existent "research" like some Fox News lap dog (yes, your favorite phrase), while sitting in your comfy dorm room/frathouse. Of course you struck a nerve.

Squeezing this in quickly between classes. Were you never in college yourself? Are you merely a stooge for the left's talking points? If you want a clearer view of why we're fighting (other than the lame "we're there for the oil" bullsh*t), I'd suggest taking the equivalent time you spent in September, posting your 10 mixes and do a lot of research on the vile, political system of subjugation that is Islam. Islam isn't a religion, it's a political system designed to keep the masses of its "faithful" in check and riled up against the infidel (anything that isn't Muslim). Study their leader, the murderous, pedophilic rapist, Mohammed. Then you'll most likely be willing to readdress your opinion of this battles ROEs and turn our soldiers loose upon the Muslim horde. They're cowards who WON'T abide by any ROE: they hide: behind women & children, toss bombs from amidst the elderly and talk their children into wearing bomb belts & wander into local pizzerias. THAT, and an understanding of the pure evil that is Islam, is what should make you "physically recoil every day", as you put it.. It's time for you to grow up, open your eyes and stop being the site's token blowhard, Rob.

Funny... he confirmed he's a college student. Assuming the Luftkin nutjob is able-bodied (and given that our military will now take on anyone, including convicted felons, as long as they're not -- God forbid -- gay), he's of a prime age to enlist. Ah, but apparently his conviction in the war only applies if it's OTHER kids doing the fighting for him. How utterly predictable.

my god. reading Luftkin's remarks below was torture if it was anything at all, and I'm finally willing to confess: He's a fucking idiot. I'm with you, Rob; well said (if you don't mind me playing your little lap-dog for a moment). oh, the music, of course. some great picks - including Ride, Stones, Muffs, and AC/DC tracks.
