Sure not, just consistency ;-)

CONSISTENCY???

Remember always: The winner of a conflict gets to write the history of it.

Unless you mean by "consistency" that winners always rid themselves of those who disagree with them.

When I clicked on the website yesterday I got to see one picture. When I ask to continue my computer went bonkers. My speakers started blasting an alarm and the screen was filled with dire warnings. I clicked on the site just now and i was shown a quiz about animals.

A couple days ago, I was surfing the news online and got a fake "microsoft" hack warning that locked my screen and gave me an audio warning that my IP address had been hacked. I immediately physically disconnected my internet cable, and forced a shutdown of my computer, as that was what the warning said NOT to do. As I am positive that the REAL Microsoft would never generate that type of a warning/situation, I immediately knew it was fake, and I wasn't about to call the phone number they wanted me to call and follow a hackers instructions. Best bet is to shutdown and /or disconnect when these things happen. My computer seems to work just fine after all that.

Consistency.

If "we" justify the use of torture against the enemy, then we should not whine or complain if "they" use it against us.

If we say "we" should take revenge against the collaborators, we should not whine and complain if others do the same.

Simple.
