Anyway, he must be proud, able to kill someone over a kilometre away.. hooray for him :dozey:

Terrorist = Someone who makes use of terrorism
Terrorism = the unlawful use or threat of violence esp. against the state or the public as a politically motivated means of attack or coercion

You dont even know what you think you're "fighting"

No, you see, a "terrorist" is someone who fights with "terror" to prove a political point.
He's going on the assumption that the political point seems to be one of mass opression and the hatred of all that is good in the world. And that the end goal of terrorists is to kill innocents.. which is a clearly illogical objective for anyone.

look i know what a terrorist is.
a person helping Terrorism Rule the world.
a "threat" to humanity
therefore "eliminate" these "members" of terrorism, by killing them.

look think what happened to afghanistan when it was being ruled by terrorists (taliban)....
and tbh Saddam and co ruling Iraq were terrorists.
murderers , powermad, the world is better off without these "evil madmen". u disagree?

 

[bliink]

try reading what i just wrote kthx

 

[seinfeldrules]

We are fighting terrorists in Iraq. Every week it is the same story "Homicide bomber kills 15 civilians in Iraq". No soldiers targeted. If that isnt terrorism...

You speak of terrorists like they're a conventional force.. but they arent, a terrorist can exist wherever someone is willing to use violence to prove a political point.
And thats wherever theres a government.
The only way to prevent that would be with totalitarian rule, and i'd rather become a "terrorist" than submit to that kind of life.

 

[Edcrab]

Terrorists always end up killing innocents- they clearly just don't see them as such. Although how anyone can possibly try and justify that occasion when various children were pulverised by a suicide bomber I don't know (since that's happened all too often I'll clarify- US soldiers were throwing candy out to children. Children, caring nothing about over-bloated political agendas, rush out to take the candy, and the nearby car bomb detonates. Result? 1 dead US marine, four injuries, and six dead Iraqi kids). Both sides write off civillians as irritating cannon fodder, it seems.

That's why, as a rule, terrorists are scum. Every time I saw a face shredded by nails or a pathetically small corpse I severed another link that allowed me to consider the IRA's members as human. I'd happily urinate on them while they melted in a pit filled with electrified acid.

Que the usual debate as to whether the Coalition's actions in Iraq constitute terrorism... but god knows why people keep accepting the UN's official view as some sort of moral verification/justification. The useless bunch of bureaucrats supported the war in Afghanistan for goodness sake, a conflict even more damaging and hypocritical than the Iraq war in my book.

what makes you think that a Totalitarian rule is the only way to get rid of these killers.
so when you say youde rather become a Terrorist, ..
youde rather kill innocent people, make civilians scared, spread hatred about other people, capture, murder and in the end blow yourself up, rather than under "totalitarian rule".. have no terrorists.? safer world. imo

 

[bliink]

By supressing everything but pro-government with an iron fist, you would have a zero-tolerance outlook on any activity that wasnt exactly confirming with what the powers wanted

youde rather kill innocent people, make civilians scared, spread hatred about other people, capture, murder and in the end blow yourself up, rather than under "totalitarian rule".. have no terrorists.? safer world. imo

no, the point I'm making is that "terrorist" is used simply as a label to classify anyone that is an ememy (legitimate or not) to whatever the current side you belong to is.

EDIT: woo... I'm getting pretty radical here lol, oh well, out of the comfort zone :smoking:

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

What a shot! Excellent job. Good to see one more piece of scum eradicated.

 

[qckbeam]

God it's disgusting sometimes....I don't get it some of you. We're celebrating the death of a fellow human being. He was probably fighting for something he believed strongly in, just like we're supposed to be fighting for something we believe in. Stop thinking about people as "the enemy" for a second and perhaps you might see that they are just humans like all of us. Sometimes the killing of another is necessary, but it's never something to celebrate. To boast about this is sickening.

yes but, this human being was part of a "human being killer" regime, and this person KILLED fellow human beings . so with this killer/threat gone, the world is safer , 1 step at a time.

I honestly don't consider those types human. Yes, they are 'homo sapien' - but no, they aren't human beings as in the way you know I mean. That's the way I honestly feel.

He was probably fighting for something he believed strongly in, just like we're supposed to be fighting for something we believe in.

Except for the fact that what 'he believes strongly in' is the enslavement of people, Sharia, killing of all infidels, and a theocratic world dictatorship.

They are specifically the enemy to me, and many many others. Someone who supports acts in which those people take part in is not a human. Sorry.

ok, maybe not in a metaphorical way, or some stupid cliched way, but you need to face the reality that they're humans too.

They aren't human, like you and I are talking about. Yes, they are 'humans'- human beings. They aren't human though, like I said. Hard to explain but I think you know what I mean. The people who commit these acts are scum and need to be eliminated from existence.

But it doesnt matter, they still feel love, hate, sadness, fear... they have a mind and body just like you...

 

[willyd]

Ive always wondered the difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist. Reading one of the above posts I came up with one idea that a terrorist will kill his anyone to fight for his own cause. While a freedom fighter only kills the opressing enemy.

Example
Osama bin laden= terrorist
Yassir Arafat = freedom fighter

Agree or disagree?

 

[Korgoth]

W00t he kills teh best! Good for him.... God is watching.

 

[seinfeldrules]

But it doesnt matter, they still feel love, hate, sadness, fear... they have a mind and body just like you...

Yes they...

Love killing civilians and Americans trying to help (which is why we are over there now)
Hate seeing Iraq being rebuilt with the possiblity of free elections.
Fear freedom taking hold in Iraq.

Arafat helped shape some of the worst suicide bombings. He is a terrorist. The charter of Hamas, one of the organizations in which Arafat, and later the PLO had great hold over (it's more independent these days, just as horrible) calls for the liquidation of all things Zionest to the sea's edge. Calls for the pushing of the Jews into the sea, genocide. This is not a freedom fighter.

*sigh*


and Willyd, thats the eternal paradox thingy; one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter... its a testament to the fact it all comes to perspective.
NO ONE is right or wrong. Its just what people believe.

They are still people. What is so difficult to grasp about it? They've probably been raised their whole lives to believe in a certain religion, form of government, etc. and they probably believe that we are the enemy and they are on the side of good. They have family; they can feel pain, happiness, the whole spectrum of emotion, just like anyone else. What I'm trying to say is, these people, the foot soldiers basically, are not all evil. They are just misguided. They have a different perspective on things because they've lived a different life under the influence of different people with different ideas. I can't regard them as scum, or less than human. I have pity for them, and see their deaths as a tragic loss of human life.

 

[Sgt_Shellback]

No one is trivializing it. He made the paper because it wasn't a trivial act. In fact it was an amazing feat of skill and bravery. 1000 yards at a civilian rifle range is a good shot. 1000 yards in combat is astounding.

What did he accomplish? Not much. He killed a guy planting an IED in an Iraqi neighborhood. An indescrimante killing device designed to only disrupt, cause fear and confussion.

I say good job Sgt! And for those who are lifting their nose to this I say you are just realizing what little of a man you are.

A suspected insurgent asks residents for mercy after they caught him planting explosives under civilian vehicles in a busy area in Baghdad

 

[Korgoth]

No qck, everyone knows that if you demonize the people you murder it makes it a lot easier. This is just proof of how easy it is to manipulate people into believing bullshit.

IE. That Iraqi and al qaeda are the same beast.
