Squiggy said:Sounds like we have an American who wants to kill all non-Americans.....
Squiggy said:So...during the racially tense 60s and 70s we should have just destroyed all the blacks in the US? Problem solved?
Gato_Solo said:What has this got to do with terrorism? Can't find a valid argument, so you grasp at straws hoping to cloud the issue? Blacks/Asians/Latinos are, were, and will be part of the US citizen equation since the US began, and when, one day, the US ends. Justify and rationalize that statement.

If the criminal/terrorist uses terrorist activities (terrorist is defined) to attempt to make political/religious/other change then kill 'em. They are a danger to the greater good.
Stop trying to make me what I am not.

Squiggy said:You know damn well that parallels can be drawn between the plights of the blacks and the palestinians. The point was that by your statement about using first strike, you would have given validity to the white majority of the 60s to anihilate blacks because they didn't understand the "reasons" for them to be acting that way.
paul_valaru said:no, but a crackdown on all the extremists on both sides would have been nice.
Gato_Solo said:How many murders took place? How many balcks became terrorists? Your argument is based on hypocrisy on this one.
Paralleles can also be drawn between atheism and catholisism, but the two are vastly different. You're losing your touch if you think I'll jump on that.
Back to the topic. Terrorism, at it's root cause, is nothing more than premeditated, cold-blooded, murder. Regardless of the reasoning behind the murder, it is, and should be, a crime.
Squiggy said:I'm not saying that at all, Paul. My argument has been that Israel is wrong too. And there is much less justification for some of their actions than there is for the Palestinians.
paul_valaru said:to clarify, so this is NOT taken out of context
the extrimist on both sides
groups like the aryan brotherhod, the KKK, and B.L.A.
the groups that decided that is should be a fight of arms, and that peaceful solutions where not acceptable.

Gato_Solo said:The only times force should be used are, in order...
1. When force is first used against you. The reaction should be, above all things, overwhelming.
2. When all peaceful avenues are exhausted. This does not mean that a person can go out, after 'begging' to be allowed to do something illegal, they can go ahead and do so. It means that, if a person has a grievance that cannot be addressed in any other way, then force may be justified. Once used, however, see rule #1.
