the use of fear to achieve a political or religious goal

...Are we seriously comparing the GOP to terrorists? haermm

No, just a select few. And then when you turn the logic around on them, it's incorrect. So it's more of a nitpicking/double standard situation.

Obviously not as extreme as real terrorists, but the basic principle is the same: trying to get what they want through threat and acts of harm.

I do love it when people refuse to use social context because it could somehow hurt their argument, so they just lump some stuff in and say "technically it's the same thing".

I don't really have social context since I don't live in America so I have no idea what you're referring to.

I'm curious if anyone espousing this strict definition of terrorism has the balls to apply it across the board.

Oh, I'm coming up with a whole list of "terrorists" based on the loose definition introduced by DE and RH. Democrats and Republicans are first on the list. Bullies are on the list. Big oil, Walmart, Wallstreet. Actually, I'm having a hard time finding non terrorists here.

Sidious is totes a terrorist.

Personally though I'm rewatching Legend of the Galactic Heroes and terrorism has nothing on terrarism.

Don't forget about parents, the UN, President Obama, the surgeon general, law enforcement, the ACLU, etc.

Also one of the guilds on my server when I first started. They were definitely terrorists.

Lots of bitchin'.

Concession accepted 😉

Wonderful rationalization in the midst of getting your ass kicked 🙂

If you admit that the examples I provided also qualify as terrorists, I'll concede that the GOP falls under the same term.

Otherwise, that remark is one of the dumbest I have ever read. Way too stupid for the likes of you.

Was it too stupid for me to?

especially you

Whenever a girl I’m talking to brags about how she’s “confident” and “strong,” I can feel my dick deflating like a punctured tire. I’d still bang her, of course; a repellent personality doesn’t negate the fact that she has a slammin’ body. But a crucial part of the attraction is lost. I’d be less offended if she ripped a fart in my face.

The idea that women should have self-esteem or need it, beyond a low baseline to ensure they don’t commit suicide or become psycho stalkers, is one of the most disastrous social engineering experiments of the modern era. A woman with excessive confidence is like a man with a vagina. It’s an attribute that is at best superfluous and at worst prevents women from fulfilling their natural biological and social functions.

HATE. 😐

Also apparently Zam wrote a book? I feel ashamed that it was featured on this site.
