This cartoon is inappropriate and offensive.

An honest difference of opinion.
The cartoon is spot on, as far as I'm concerned.
I have no problem labelling evil when I see it.
Human is as human does...

Next subject...

Memo to Bruce Tyler:

Your third grader got a hold of your word processor. Thought you might want to know.

To bad ol' Bruce wasn't on the 90th floor of Tower 1. Methinks his attitude would be different if he survived.

Whoa, what have we here? Another Completely Dumbed Down American Professor with tenure no doubt, teaching Social Engineering, Political Correctness and Complete Submission of Will to the empty heads that attend his classes.

MEMO to students: Run don't Walk from classes like this and teachers like this.

Worse. A professional student serving as an instructor.

"Too many times have certain groups declared their enemies to be non-human."

I would agree that the cartoon would be over the line and offensive if it had, for example, declared all Arabs to be non-human. However, the cartoon as described simply illustrated the evil of one man.

I think post 29 (immediately above yours) answered your comment better than I could, but thanks for the lecture.

I take it, then, you consider there to be no such thing as "inhuman" behavior?

We cannot ignore the real social processes behind our enemies' actions, as well as our own.

The social process that my friend of 20 years used was: he went to work, same as he did 5 days a week, in an effort to take care of his 3 kids and his wife. The social process Bin Laden used was: he manipulated someone into flying a plane into my freinds office killing him and about 3,000 other people. There, I'm no longer ignoring social process. And if I ever meet the author face to face I have a few more social processes I intend to introduce him to.

Looks like the professional student is a littel math-impaired (from his website):

Assignments and grading:

Class discussion 10 %

Two essays 15 % each

Class facilitation 10 %

Field Assignment & Final Paper 50 %

That only accounts for 85% of the final grade. I guess (liberal) political activism makes up the remaining 15%.

I'd like to pose a question to the writer of this article. If the possession of human DNA is the definition of being human, then how about all those aborted babies? Don't you imagine that if you checked their DNA, you would find that they are human too?

None of those very human, unborn babies is a mass murderer, either.

As usual, a liberal who lacks a sense of humor.

Now, if you call an unborn baby a human, he'd probably complain that you were an anti abortion far right wing fascist.
