And I still have no remorse or care about terrorists to be honest. They give up their rights when they make that choice.
who is a terrorist?
do you know?
have you been paying attention to the legislation that's been passed these past few years?
on any whim, for any reason, you too can be declared a terrorist.
if you speak your mind at a political rally, you could be a terrorist.
if something you do upsets corporate profit, you could be a terrorist.
if you own a ron paul bumper sticker, you could be a terrorist.
if you're in PETA, you could be a terrorist.
with all the ambiguously worded nonsense that's been made law recently, most anything you say or do could be interpreted as terrorist activity.
you can be held against your will, indefinitely.
you can be denied your right to a lawyer.
you can be tortured.
all because someone made a decision to associate your name with terrorism.
it may be justified. you might have a bomb stuck up your ass, and are stupid enough to think that violent attacks on infrastructure or the public work. it may be a mistake, due to nothing more than a typo. or you may be a nuisance, and someone arbitrarily decides you are a terrorist for not supporting their ideas.
all of these things have happened before.
do you trust them not to happen again?
1: Terrorists maim and / or torture people, using a range of bot physical and /or psychological tactics in order to obtain information from them, and inspire fear and / or terror into them and their remaining civilian populations. Ergo maiming and / or torturing people, using physical and / or psychological, tactics to obtain information and inspire fear and / or terror is an act of terror.
Explain how terrorism can be fought with terrorism, without resorting to arguments based on the precept, or perceptions of, moral equivalency.
2: You are statistically more likely to be struck by, and severely injured and / or killed, by lightning than by an act of terrorism.
Explain what precautions and measures you are insisting your government take to protect you from lightning strikes, what liberties you are willing to forgo to ensure you are not struck by lightning, and what amount of government funding should be set aside to protect people from lightning.
whatever you think your beliefs on torture and terrorism are, I'd challenge ya'll to re-read then try and answer these questions yourself.
unless you're making money or consolidating power from torture or terror, I'm pretty sure there are no good reasons to support these things.
but I may be wrong, and if so I'll go ahead and be waterboarded for charity.
up to 9 times a day. every day. without a lawyer.
not just once as a bullshit media stunt -- but what we're really doing to 'enemy combatants', whoever they might be. you?
anyone? bueller?
