? Is pouring sugar into a D9 Cat's gas tank or destroying logging equipment terrorism? YES, if you are the federal government it is. "Eco-terroism". Your skinny ass will get on the FBI's most wanted list for destroying a few concrete trucks.

? Is an avowed Islamist screaming "Abu Akbar" while gunning down US service folks terrorism? NO, per President Obama that is "workplace violence". Only crazy white people can do actual terrorism. It helps balance out the .gov memes that rightwingers do more terrorism than Muslims.

The end.

"Workplace violence" link, heh. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/08/06/nidal-hasan-s-murders-termed-workplace-violence-by-u-s.html

terrorism: : the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal.

-Merriam Webster Dictionary

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/terrorism

Nowadays, the term is applied to just about anything.

I've never under understood how a war on terrorism was supposed to work. You declare war on people, not acts. It makes about as much sense as declaring war on bank robbery.

"ANd it seems there is a new form of terrorism in SF, CA. THe city is now fighting back against rampant PISSERES ! They have begun to install walls that, to quote an article, Fire back the piss onto the pissers.."


There's a Yakov Smirnoff joke in there somewhere.


In America, you piss on wall. In Soviet Frisco, wall pisses on you.

Ron,

fair points. The point I am trying to make is that saving a dog in a hot car is a hero, but saving a mink from slaughter is terrorism?

I do eat some meat, but little of it is from factory farms.

sure, and the law agrees with you. The laws are there to increase profits, not be humane or preserve public lands.

With the states about to sell our public lands to Chinese, I suspect we will see more eco-'terroism'

So no Edward Abby types on the Topo? curious, I thought there would be a few around.

WTF wut huh? Hey man, can you provide a single instance of this having occurred? Or is it merely a fiction in the dark recesses of your mind?

i expected the old cranky conservative guys on ST, but i did think there would be a few that would question calling those that rescue animals terrorists.

by hey, its a long time since the 60s. worst crime on this forum seems to be going to a climbing gym and associating with sport climbers.
