Default (OT) War is hell, but not like it once was - 08-24-2006 , 03:10 PM






(apologies to those who see my first post of this before it deleted, I
forgot to mark it as OT)

For an article by an athiest, I though this was pretty decent.

I personally long for the day when America had the balls to stand up for
itself regardless of how many civilians died. Granted, civilian death isn't
really a good thing, but if an innocent has to die because they are standing
in front of a terrorist, let them die.

Just out of curiosity, who defines someone as a 'terrorist'?
Sounds like a witch hunt to me.

I bet you'd fit right in with the government of China. They don't care
about people either.
Um, no, but I believe that our government should take whatever steps needed
to protect us. Only a complete idiot would assert such a thing from my
comment. I don't really care so much about what you think of me. I'm not the
one who seems to enjoy taking it up the ass by foreign powers.

The Webster book:

terrorist |?ter?rist| |?t?r?r?st| |?t?r?r?st|
noun
a person who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims.


terrorism |?ter??riz?m| |?t?r??r?z?m|
noun
the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

I prefer "chicken sh!ts who hide behind their religion and kill their own
kind and don't care".

The only good terrorist is one who has assumed room temperature. May many
more do so soon.

People don't understand these goofuses are not going to give up until we
raise the level of their pain. If they bring a knife, we bring a gun. If
they send one of ours to the hospital, we send one of theirs to the morgue.
That's the Chicago Way, and that's how you get these nuts. When the level
of their loss is higher than they can stand, they will quit.

Most sane people have no real problem defining who is a terrorist and
who isn't.
OK shoot. Tell us the definition and who sets it.

Wouldn't this make G.W.B terrorist as well?

I'm afraid you're wrong here. Doing 'terror' will only get you
more 'terrorists', not less. But I take it you are not dumb and
this is precisely what you want. Right?

So what do we do? Let terrorists continue to terrorize? This has been
tried for many years, but they continued to blow up airplanes, hijack
airplanes, blow up buses, kidnap persons ect. What do you do about the
terrorist problem then??
Well, only thing certain in this respect is that do not
terrorize anyone (no wars with political agendas). That
alone might do the trick.

And as far as 9/11 and London bombings go, in my humble
opinion it is not even proven who was responsible. At
least the evidence was never released to general public.
Still think it was Osama? May very well be, but there is
really no hard evidence to prove it. If you have some,
tell it to FBI as well [link to Osamas resume]:

So who did it? Get an answer to that first before jumping
into new war.

Blowing terrorists heads off will do the trick. How many American lives do
you want to let be killed before you decide that live and let live isn't
working?

I'm not responding to you anymore because you are a goof ball. Good bye.
You are being polite to a KooK?

Why?
