Yes. By all means. Because celebrating torture doesn't taint your moral argument at all.

Torture? Pigman doesn't believe in torture, he believes that killing terrorists saves lives.

"Torture? Pigman doesn't believe in torture, he believes that killing terrorists saves lives. "
Oh, so Pigman doesn't waterboard the guy to torture him, but to kill him? More efficient ways to kill a guy. Unless you're a mentally deranged sadist who gets his rocks off by watching his enemies suffer before they die. Is that part of the characterization for Pigman? Genuinely curious.

Bosch, I have some qustions.
What are the differences/likenesses between you and Pigman? I noticed that your "back story" is almost the same, is it so, he is a former religious person and you are a former religious person and that you have both grown up in very similar religious families? Where do they differ? For example, is one a big city guy and the other a farmer boy, that is sort of what I want to know.
Also, are your opinions and Pigman's opinions the same? Are there any sitiuations where you would do one thing and Pigman would do exactly the opposite?

Zaki, you're better than this.
I thought this forum had rules against self promoting.
Why hasn't this septic tank been locked?

"I thought this forum had rules against self promoting."
It does. he's been told. And just for fun, his comment from the Alex Toth thread:
http://www.byrnerobotics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27036 &TPN=3
"And if I were the kind of self-promoter I'm called out for being, I'd be posting what he had to say about my first graphic novel right here. "
Followed 5 posts later by the quote in question emblazoned over a promotional image from his book.
He's not shy about why he's here, is he?

That was obvious from his first post in this thread.

Lars,
The Pigman aspect of the book is a power fantasy, a Super Powered fantasy, so in that sense, Pigman is a stand in for me in the story and we're in sync. But I suggest taking a better look at my site in order to see that the story is mainly about Pigman's creator, Killian Duke and his born again Muslim brother, Salaam Duka, whose Muslim background shoots to the forefront of their lives on 9/11.
