So a man that beats his wife is a terrorist, a bigger guy that bully a weak person is a terrorist, a cop that use his power to make someone feel intimidated is a terrorist, a thief that uses a weapon to rob a group of people and terrorise them is a terrorist too.
Well we used to call them THUGS :P
Thug: a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer. "Thug" is derived from Thuggies or Thuggees.
The Thugs traveled in groups across India for six hundred years. Although the Thugs traced their origin to seven Muslim tribes, Hindus appear to have been associated with them at an early period. The Thugs would join travelers and gain their confidence. This would allow them to then surprise and strangle their victims by pulling a handkerchief or noose tight around their necks. They would then rob their victims of valuables and bury their bodies.
Sounds like 'terrorists" to me :P Odd that they have a Muslim origin... I always thought they were from India
QuoteI think this generalization of the word "terrorist" serves a very specific objective. Not to mention this causes a growing confusion in the population minds, which in my view, is intrinsically related to why they choose and use it in the first place to connote attacks to a government generating fear in the population.
Generalization is a human nature. Look at the way all Masons Rosicrucians ets are all "Illuminati" and all government are evil Cabal (yet none of those people could survive a week without the government :P )
Flying has been relatively free from the highjackings in recent years. They mostly stopped when we bombed Kadafi's house and killed his family (though he was living in a tent and they missed him) No more safe haven for high jackers.
Now we see a new rash. You would THINK the airlines would take steps to fix it. We wanted to go to Japan before Fukushima Still do Okinawa is safe and that is the place to go... Plane fare was 3.000.00ish It is now down to 600-800.00 round trip. So prices are effected because people are afraid to fly, whether terrorists, TSA goons molesting you and stealing your stuff, or natural disasters
Well its a moot point I can't afford to fly much these days :P
QuoteYou may say, but this event made more people fear to flight commercial flights. To this I say to you, only if you believe that this was terrorism. Remember that there is crazy people driving busses and cars too.
True but most people I talk to fly only when they need to. Its getting to be too much of a hassle on top of the fear
QuotePolitically loaded and emotionally charged as it is, one day you may find yourself called a terrorist because you fought your neighbor or something banal like this due the trivialization of the meaning it have.
If you believe that 9/11 was done by the US Cabal... you are already a terrorist :P
