On Terror
In article _Sk8c.6846$Ct5.6687@edtnps89,
"Azul Funk" posted: Terror. I'm canadian, so you'll have to excuse my... ignorance? What exactly constitutes an act of terror? Does CNN have to report it as having been the work of known terrorists before it's considered terrorism? Does it have to be political? The nature of the word leads me to believe that any action that is intended to produce 'terror' is an act of terorrism. Recent examples of acts meant to insight terror include: The USA's "Shock and Awe" campaign and ensueing and continuing armed conflict. Todd Bertuzzi's Sucker Punch on Steve Moore. My Ex-Girlfriend threatening to go on an unchecked spending orgy until my credit is maxed out and worthless. I'd appreciate some American insight on this issue... according to popular media, we're living in an era where terrorism runs rampid. So much so that everyone's ready to sign their freedom away to make sure they don't get terrorized. Canada has been mentioned repeatedly as the terrorist entry point to the US and a possible terrorist target. It would be nice to know what to watch for. A.funk If an act instills or aims to instill intense fear, then it is an act of terror. Jai Maharaj http://www.mantra.com/jai Om Shanti |

What exactly constitutes an act of terror? An act of politically or religiously motivated aggression intentionally directed at a target that is not itself an instrument of aggression. |

So any bomb attack on a reservist is not an act of terror even if others are hurt. FFM |

I guess "terror" is in the eyes of the victim. I would think that the present definition of "Terror" is; Acts of clandestine violence Carried on by irregulars ( guerillas ) Without a formal declaration of war. ( hence their Country is blameless ) Against a civilian/non-combatant population or infrastructure. So if you have a uniform nothing that you do is terror? FFM |

Your definition of an act of terror could also apply to Missionaries and the work they have done under the guise of Religion. A great example of a union that incorporates the use of religion and politics to suppress a race of people is "Rabbit Proof Fence" http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0252444/ Terrorism is a two-sided coin that can rear it's ugly head in a multitude of different ways. |

"Australia "British settlement began in 1788, with the landing party of transported convicts. Australia remained a penal colony. during the first half of the 19th century,during which time the continent was explored and separate colonies were established in the various states. Aboriginal populations were displaced and decimated' in some areas (e.g., Tasmania), they were totally exterminated...." - The Universal Almanac; Andrews and McMeel; ISBN: 0-8362-7977-8. The terrorist mission of Jesus is stated in the Christian bible: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not so send peace, but a sword. "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. "And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. - Matthew 10:34-36. Jai Maharaj http://www.mantra.com/jai Om Shanti |

FFM I think they formalized all these definitions in Geneva some tiime ago. "In uniform" implies that you're acting on behalf of your government. If there's a declaration of war, a. in uniform, you're liable for "war crimes" ( as defined by Geneva ) b. out of uniform, you'd be a spy. ( I think they hang them ) rj |

Former Homosexual says it's a Fraud!
He can marry all he wants. He can't have spousal rights extended to more than one of them. The way spousal rights are written, such an attempt would be in conflict with themselves. I've pointed out more than once, the simplest solution to the whole thing is to abandon the legal recognition of marriage. We don't recognize baptism, we don't really need any reason to recognize marriages. In the 1950's, 15% of black children were born out of wedlock, now it's around 70-75%. This is just an example. Any attempt to further destroy the tradiational family unit upon which this counrty is built will lead to this nation's downfall. We simply don't have the money to support more and more people's irresponsibility, and consequent societal costs ( mental illness from abandonment, life-long trauma and inadequacy, ******* children with no means of getting support from so-called parents, and etc ) You want to enter into a legal partnership with someone, write the contract. You want to extend power of attorney or other similar powers, write the necessary paperwork. The problem is right now that under most state laws, these arrangements won't be recognized UNLESS there is a marriage license. Legal contracts? Go ahead and go nuts, be my guest. It's another question whether you or anyone else signing your contracts should get my tax dollar supporting you. Marriage is created not for love, but for the best and only best environment for the raising of a family. Almost every single psychological, social, economic, and other study done for the last 100 years has pointed to the utter importance of maintaining this to avoid sentencing the innocent children to a lifetime of maltreatment, inadequate support, and ultimately, tragic lives. Is it too much to ask to have parents be ready to take good care of children they have? --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |
