Just to clarify...

The simplist example you will ever get. Notice how they are still both past tense, but the difference in the sentence. Less words is generally more active, but don't mark that as its only characteristic. That was just how I originally used. So using the extra word 'was' makes it passive. Active is stronger writing, and should be used more often than passive.

Well, where to start, really, is with Plato...

It was sarcasm, as in, I alreay know... because I am studying it.

Japan.
I was referring to the current war in Iraq/Afghanistan, but I'll accept Japan as a response, and counter that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki actually saved more lives than it cost. If we had continued our fire-bombing campaign, millions more Japanese and Americans would have died. By shocking them into surrender, we prevented a bloodbath.

Easily said, this is no better than terrorism itself, and quite possibly could be considered as such an act. Though the attack was claimed to be on a military target, it is well known that little militancy was permanently oppressed by the act, but instead scared (like the goal of terrorism) to stop all means of attack. Sadly, days later, even after the attack seemingly stopped all means of aggression, another bomb is dropped.

1.) You said "terrorism is mass death". Your lack of inclusion of other definitions is a good reason for me to assume that is what you meant.

I said "Terrorism = Mass death" but it could = many other things... thanks for putting words in my mouth, but I understand your perspective as you seem to have been just as vague a few times over.

2.) I am _not_ confusing terrorism with assasination. If Mohammen ben Islam goes and blows himself up in the plaza, but only kills one 9 year old Jewish girl on a field trip instead of 900, that's still terrorism.

Not neccessarily. Why was he there? Terrorism is the why, not the how.

Oh, wow, way to define yourself into being correct. Unfortunately, that's an incredibly naive and limited definition of terrorism, because it can easily be construed to include any and all threats and/or use of force. In reality, if I threaten to beat the shit out of some dude, that's not terrorism. In your definition, it is. It fails the reality test.

If you noticed the '...' you would know there was more and it was much longer, this I summed it up... and in there I pointed out... oh... government.

I think that it's safe to say that 99%+ of terrorist attacks are by Arabs or Muslims.

You wouldn't be more wrong then. The Chinese have had many terrorist caught and captivated. And that is just a small point...

No, that's the point. A man who is NOT a Muslim could NOT just as likely become a terrorist as a Muslim. While both COULD become terrorists, Mohammed is more likley than Johnny by a large factor.

Not neccessarily, as Terrorist are a small percentage (less than 2) of muslims who read the text in a perversed way.

Yes, but then you went and tried to negate my opinion by saying that I don't know how Arabs live, and I didn't grow up in that culture. Your relatavism has been exposed as fraudulent, move on.

I never saw such a sort. And remember who started this conversation in the first place. You commented on my original post.

Oh, I'm sorry, do you not like being confronted with the results of your ideology? That's what goes on in the Islamic world, and you can't ignore it because it displeases you.

What did that have to do with you being a jerk, and swearing, and pulling out fact that are rarer than you think, especially when 90% of it is considered sin in their own religion.

What? That sentence is hardly coherent. In case you forgot, Bush won an election not even a year ago with the most votes that any candidate EVER recieved. Yes, his numbers are down now, but that's hardly related to the war on terror.

Then you are being blinded.

This, more than any other sentence you've written, proves that you just don't get it, and have such a limited view of reality, the war on terror, and politics in general that it may well be impossible to continue this.

So somehow not commenting on what I said, and beating around it by insulting me makes your views any less limited?

Wow. What don't you get dude? Islam is the EXACT same today as it was 1400 years ago. While, yes, people still practice it today, they're adhering to the totality of a religion whose prnciples and edicts are stuck in the morality of the 7th century. This isn't fucking rocket science.

I still don't understand what you are trying to prove here?

If no one can be right, how do you evaluate competing views?

Sadly, society evaluated them by normes, trends, et cetera. The majority at most.

And I'd pwn you then just like I'm pwning you now.

One of your most intelligent comments yet. And if you hadn't noticed, you still havnt proved anything over me, and have yet to convince me of anything. So, how are you 'pwning' me?

No, that's what comes with being advanced. Once you're the standard bearer for civilization, everyone else has to act like you or you don't acknowledge them.

Thats just pathetic and prejudice. Good for you. Your a true heart. Try figuring out what life means to you man. It might give you some external perspectives.

You call that emphasis for effect? Sad, really.

Sir, there is a large body of philosophy that deals with the question of "what is rational", and what the role of government is. Since I'm not prepared to teach you

Teach me, I'm studying it.

I'll define it thus: a rational action is that with the highest return of utility, defined as a unit of human happiness…

Even though your definition is incorrect, all you did was prove my point. Or am I missing something?

Show one example where civilian deaths caused by US forces were anything but collateral.

Japan.

Well, first off, no, mass death isn't terrorism. An act of terrorism can kill one person, or a million. It's not the numbers, but the motive and methodology that matter.

I never said it was the only form of terrorism. And you are mixing up assassination. What is terrorism? Actual definition: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

Note: people. Nothing about methodology either.

To sum it up: a violent act in order to intimidate or coerce a government.

Secondly, you couldn't be more wrong about the goals of terrorists, or, if in this case you're just defending Islam, the mandates that Islam places upon its followers…

I never opposed such a notion.

You're right, some of them were just regular Iraqi army, but not all of them.

Exactly.

No, it's not too broad. It's statistical fucking fact.

You going to tell me exactly what most is? It is broad.

And it IS relevant. If Johnny Smith is only 1/1000000000000th as likely to become a terrorist as Habib al Jamar, you fucking take a look at Habib al Jamar, and you focus on him more.

What does that have to do with? You can' really determine that either. A man born with nothing to do with any religion could be a terrorist just as likely as someone born an arab.

You're right, there are Arabs who disagree with me and aren't terrorists. However, you're missing my point …

My point is that it isn’t the only view... so it doesn’t make you right. I never said it wasn’t a valid opinion. You have every right to that opinion.

Wow, that's kinda disgusting. You think women …

I like how you have to resort to swearing, and images such as that. But who said that maybe society had grown a different direction her in America and such things were accepted. Who the hell knows? You can’t actually state. In some Asian countries prostitution is a legit, well-respected occupation... does that make it right? You can argue either way, which makes it opinion.

Exactly, whcih is why your argument about how I don't understand because I didn't grow up Arab is a fallacy.

It was implied that of an Arab of that perspective.

No, not all terrorists are suicidal, but many are, and no, it's not effective. If it were, they'd be winning.

And who said they aren’t? Think about the cripple the war on terror has had on your country, and not just financially, but amongst Americans. If Bush were able to be up for president again, you wouldn't win anyway. Proven numbers.

What's the right way then?

He attacked Iraq... his excuse... nuclear weapons... were there any? He doesn’t invade an entire country to weed out a faction. The faction isn't the country itself. You work with the government of that country. If they don't feel the need, or don’t want to help, you secure it from an outer perspective. I too wish the terrorists were shot to hell, but it doesn’t justify then death, or the invasion.

What's your solution, exactly?

Solution? I don't have one, but neither does Bush. Look at London... all this time, and they didn't stop terrorism. And this war could go on for 100 more years, and terrorism would still occur.

Dude, historical fact. Mohammed lived around 600 AD.

Do you know what derived means? As in, what did Islam derive from.. at one point... the stone age.

So, as opposed to _every_ Western religion and political philosophy, Islam is structurally built for a 7th Century world.

No it isn't, or it wouldnt exist today. It is structured for whatever time they want to follow it in.

Yeah, that's the kind of argument I made my way through when I was 12 years old. I know lots of people keep it through high school, but at some point, the cliche of "the wierd are the normal" becomes a little tried.

Haha, I never agreed with it. I proposed a question... whose to say? If you read it the way you did, maybe you are stuck.

If I am not to say what's right, then I have absolutely no conviction about what I believe. I might as well be a Protestant, or something…

No, you can have views. I do too, a lot of which coincide with yours, but it doesn’t make either of us right.

But it's not just that, it's that I can give you good reasons why my philosophy and way of life is better than theirs. Do you really have any argument for…

You are stereotyping again. Plus, I bet if I was one of those people, I could argue each point to the wazoo, I have no idea.

Being advanced gives me the right to judge the less advanced.

It does not give you that right. That is a sadistic statement.

Didnt you just say blow up everything from Jordan to Pakistan? Should I quote.

It'd be the only legitimate use of the government, according to the Constitution and all rational theories of government. The only reason the state should exist is to defend us from foreign enemies.

And whos to say whats rational? Are you all of a sudden some higher power? Is the american government?

How is Bush acting like a terrorist, exactly? By attacking those whose sole desire is to destroy us and spread the reign of militant Islam across the globe?

Um, Well, like I said earlier (as you used argument that could not be proven as fact), but from my understainding is that people have died... non terrosrist, who simply want to co-exist, but i nthe way they were accustomed to. Mass death = terrorism. And before you make claims like 'whose sole desire is to destroy us and spread the reign of militant Islam across the globe', understand the view first. You are way off base.

And yes, there is a definition of terrorist, and the people Saddam supported fit it pretty well. They were the kind of people who blew themselves up in pizzarias and dance clubs in Israel, killing teenagers and babies.

Proof?

I unfortuantely can't provide you with an exact number...

But, again, not all those people are terrorist.

Sure, anyone COULD be a terrorist, but MOST of the terrorists are Arab Muslims. You can be all like "McVeigh", or "the IRA", and you'd be right that yes, they were terrorists, but they were anomalies, not the rule.

Most is too broad... and really, irrelevant. As in... anyone can be a terrorist. Point agrred upon.

That kind of cultural relativism disgusts me, and is disproven by the fact that there ARE Arab Muslims who support my point of view...

And those who don't and are not terrorist. Again, you are not using fact, and playing with your opinion, which isnt always right.

Even with your absurd standard, which takes away the ability to condemn a people for engaging in involuntary female circumcisiion, murder of rape victims, and the complete lack of women's rights, if any Arab Muslim shares my views...

And again, there are those who live it, and are accustomed to it, and even accept it, or prefer it. Even those woman you speak of. Custom is something very powerful, which you are proof of, speaking very much from an american point of view.

they're validated, because someone who grew up Arab and DOES understand thinks the same way.

Again, not always true. Can go either way... Subjective.

"Hey, Achmed, strap this bomb to yourself and go run into that group of kids".

Not all terrorists are suicidal... plus, its effective, isnt it.

Anyway, myself, am against terrorism and such things. I am only trying to point out how very narrow your view has become. And that Bush is going about it all the wrong way. I am not trying to condone any extreme act, I too felt the sorrow of 9/11 and such... I am just stating that that is fact, and not that that is opinion.

I dont mean to upset you (if I am) or anything of the sort, I am just expressing that of an objective view. And I tend to rebuttle...

We've killed more than 10,000 terrorists. Way more than that.

2.) No, not all Arabs are terrorists, but they're more likely to be terrorists than anyone else, and an even higher percentage are terrorist sympathizers. We weren't hallucenating when we saw them celebrating on 9/11.

Maybe you should have been born an Arab to understand.

3.) They _are_ barbarians. For the most part, they live in caves and use technology that they've stolen from the same people they want to destroy.

And um, ya... so hussain... not a terrosit... nuclear wepons... non existence... and you said cpl hundred grand a pop... um... ya, they havnt caught enough to justify that amount either.

And dont stereotype... not all terrosts ar Arab, and not all Arabs are terroorists... plus, no one said they are barbaric. They seemed pretty intelligent and prepared to me.

I'm going to talk about that with Sanjay, and if he don't want to create a thread in the General section for me, I will post everything here. But it mostly belongs to the General section, in my opinion.

Certainly. I dont see how they can argue that it doesnt belong there. You arn't 'officially' a part of this club, or at least you never claimed it, so therefore it wouldn't belong i nthis club without you joining first, and they cant force you to joi nthe club... thus, your only other option is the general section... which is for 'general' use... like those, not a part of a writing club to post writing in. ; )

I've already looked around. : )

i thought your "jokes' were like sarcasm. but yes, i see now. sorry. misinterpretation. lo siento.

Bit of everything I guess. I kind of jumped around.

some people just apply it to me because i act the way i do.

Ya, exactly. It is commonly excepted a certain way now. Whereas no one truly uses the word correctly all the time. Its like the word ignorant... no one ever uses that word in the right context... (a peeve of mine... lol).

in reality, i'm probably one of the most mature individuals i know, i'm very capable of advanced abstract thought that many of my peers can't begin to comprehend.

I wouldnt doubt it. Sometimes I have better discussions with my TAs then I do my peers. Then my buddies laugh at me and we all go get drunk. Haha, good times. : )

the last part made more sense then the cigarettes, but yeah.

Well the cigarettes is just referring to that fact that your mind can comprehend its wrong, and you know your responcibility to yourself, but smoke it anyway for no rational reason. Lack of rationalism is a form of immaturity at times - in this case, of course there are other cases whens its not... like if you were on a S.W.A.T team and were making a split second decision (I am using a lot of obscure references today, i must be tired).

when i do immature things i'm just doing it for fun because frankly, its way more fun then not!. and at the same time i'm a pretty reasonable adult

I am the same way. I exactly what you are saying. Most of the time I am just out to have fun, party, drink, relax, and whatever, but a lot of my freinds can't keep up with me sometimes, and I will catch myself going on a literary, maybe even scholarly splurge. They are used to it though, so they just roll their eyes at me now. lol.

that i can understand, people going "omg, today...." and frankly, if i wanted to know about your day to day life i'd read your livejournal or some shit like that.

Exactly.
