Michael Hardner Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 In some parts of the US after they have asked where you are from they are likely to ask what is your religion and answering to them that you have no religion at all is not an answer they like to hear. What "parts" ? I think you're talking about coalescent groups within the US not geographic parts. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner
dre Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 After the Holocaust, the Jews were not enjoying a high living standard. How many car bombings or suicide bombings did they do? I dunno. Youll have to look that up. Interestly enough, if you look up the dictionary definition of "terrorist" on dictionary.com youll find the following in the "Origion" section. terrorist in the modern sense, 1947, especially in reference to Jewish tactics against the British in Palestine -- earlier it was used of extremist revolutionaries in Russia (1866); and Jacobins during the French Revolution (1795) -- from Fr. terroriste; see terror + -ist (also cf. terrorism). The tendency of one party's terrorist to be another's guerilla or freedom fighter was noted in ref. to the British action in Cyprus (1956) and the war in Rhodesia (1973). The word terrorist has been applied, at least retroactively, to the Maquis resistance in occupied France in World War II (e.g. in the "Spectator," Oct. 20, 1979).

The Jews of 1947 weree not seeking to cause indiscriminate death. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
dre Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 The Jews of 1947 weree not seeking to cause indiscriminate death. No they were using violence and terror to achieve a political objective which is the classic definition of terrorism. Anyhow, you can argue with the dictionary all you want.

BubberMiley Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 I guess if you lose the war against the grammar books and are defeated by the semi-colon, you take on the dictionaries next. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
