Man, I love Trotsky...

Terrorism is no good, but armed (and certainly even unarmed) resistance is fairly effective, evident by almost ever US and Russian adventure in the Middle East and Asia. We erroneously conflate resistance with terrorism when there is not always any kind of "terrorism" (a completely abused word -- one who causes terror? Jeez, my daughter frequently commits acts of terrorism!).

Someone shooting a US soldier or contractor is not likely a terrorist, probably just a resistance member (which we now call "enemy combatants," which is generally implied synonymous with "terrorist" without seeming so as text). Shooting civilians is an act of terrorism, and while there are terrorists among enemies of the US government, US contractors (at least) have also committed acts of terror. Somehow, though, we don't have a massive brain attack and suddenly call the US government a terrorist organization just because of that (well, a few people do). Perhaps a double standard. There are both terrorists and resistance fighters in every nation the US government is currently occupying, as well as inside the United States.

It DOES help to read the article people. The images I place are just baits to help you click on the links provided :-)


The closest U.S. Border Patrol station, at Falfurrias, Texas, is about 4-1/2 miles from Vickers' 1,000-acre ranch.
An official in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency confirmed that in the month of June more than 4,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended at or near that checkpoint.
About 82 per cent of them were so-called 'OTM' border crossers – 'Other Than Mexican.'
More than 400 were children.

This is a very serious issue, and the solution is not to build a "Berlin Wall" in the States, as has been done now.


I think the situation in Mexico needs to improve, the people wouldn't come then.  I mean, we put a production line all the way in China, why not in Mexico? It would save the State a lot of costs.

What did start on 1984? Terrorism? The media takes on the matter?

Terrorism related to Arabs is just something recent, the media coverage on anything negative about the Arabs is way overly inflated maybe it is due 9/11 effect? ....

Heh, we do have a lot of great fun around here don't we?   

You're right, they think very little of the average persons intelligence/ability to reason and look for facts.  Unfortunately they are right about the majority of people who will blindly accept what they are told, whether through the nightly news, this youtube video (clearly global warming propaganda aimed at the 20-30 crowd who can relate to Bill Nye from watching him in their youth), or other media campaigns.  They have succeeded though in being able to push an agenda/message and really put very little effort into swaying public opinion on most topics.  Most people will watch this video and just take it as truth, no further investigation necessary.

I'm being philosophical here, but out of all the bitcoins in existence, I would say 15% or more are held by members of this forum.

Imagine this, Bitcoin 5-10 years down the road is worth $50,000 a piece.

If this happens, and members of this forum pledge 5-10% of their bitcoins for humanitarian efforts, we can change the world.

Just doing some numbers, 15% of 13 million is 1,950,000. This is how many bitcoins the members of this forum have.

5% of 1,950,000 is 97,500.

100,000 bitcoins at 50,000 is worth 5 billion dollars.

You can change the planet with $5 billion dollars. It's amazing.

With all the talk about Bitcoin stopping wars, etc. There is so much opportunity for humanity to thrive off of this wealth transfer.

If Bitcoin ever hits $50,000, I am pledging 5% or more to humanitarian efforts.

It's hard to tell who is a shill and who just believes they have a right to do whatever they want.
If you look at any Isreali media it's shocking the stuff they're saying.
It would be a challange to raise a child there that didn't believe one Israeli life was worth a thousand arab lives.

terrorist loving liberals l don't give a shit about what the tea party is all about... cause we know that its the tea party that wants to slaughter anyone that doesn't agree with them, its the tea party that lobs bombs into other states, its the tea party that slaughters gays, its the tea party that subjugates women and mutilates their bodies, its the tea party that ...... oh wait.. no its not.... thats  hamas.... the terrorists that the liberals give a pass for atrocities, but accuse the tea party of but know that they are wrong.... . ... comparing the tea party to hamas is just beyond fucking sick..... 

I pray that you never come across one of your beloved hamas terrorists, cause they will slaughter you without a second glance, but you've shown that you don't care that these people are mass murderers....

"Look at the Tea Party/Far Right movement - they basically do the same game - they stir up fear and hate and bigotry and whip the "faithful" into a frenzy."

I realize that with our National Movement we have both a few ill intentioned people. We have also caught and extracted a few others who were Collectivist Liberal 'plants' whose intention was to make our Movement look bad publically. As soon as they started they were caught and physically moved away from our genuine supporters.

My question to you, is do you have a valid, objective reference to ANY Tea Party Movement promoting actual: HATE, FEAR, or BIGOTRY you can post that validates your opinion stated in your OP?

It is true that nearly ALL of our Tea Party Supporters in our National Movement are VERY Passionate about saving our nation from government over reach in excess of the 18 prerogatives allowed the Federal government by our Constitution, and yes these millions of Individuals are VERY faithful to our shared beliefs and Personal Values, so it may very easily appear someone whipped us into a frenzy while in reality each of us did that for ourselves. Just think, over 90% of us vote every election.

They have stupid Americans now spouting Anti-American rhetoric, calling for impeachment - or even death - to our President because he is Black.

Yes, we do call for Impeachment, relative to specific cases where Obama over reached his authority as defined in our Constitution. "IF" we succeed in said Impeachment, we realize the Senate will be VERY unlikely to convict him, however, he will be forced to cease his repeated Over Reach and usurping the power from our House.

Terrorism isn't an Arab exclusive, and Sayyd didn't invented it. You can read Trostky's articles praising terrorism as well, a communist so hardcore that communists killed him. And we are talking about retards from early/mid XX Century, being Sayyd one terrorist of decolonization.

Yeah, with terrorism you go with rage against a wall... the question is, war is all about strategy. What's the strategy behind it? What's there to wage with that? What achievement? The "I want to appear on TV", even if post mortem, wish?

Hey folks,

what do you think about the recent conflicts (russia, ukrain)
and espescially the middle east conflict??

Usually when speaking of Arabs these days one word pops up right away: Terrorism.

Terrorism is probably the worse way of fighting ever. ...

In my experience there's no link between atheism and political ideology. I'm an atheist and verge on anarchism, I know some atheists which lean to conservative, some which have socialist views.

Nobody worships the non-Deity. But when some idiots come up with a "praise our imaginary friend or die" mood, we have to defend ourselves.
The fact that we are atheists doesn't mean we can't defend ourselves because we've no imaginary friend to justify it!

Especially since atheism is not a religion: to give a brilliant quote, "Atheism is a religion in much the same way as not collecting stamps is a hobby"
