What makes a terrorist?

Lol..pretty good

A better example would be Robert E. Lee or Jefferson Davis. As you can probably guess, many people in my family tree were labled as traitors, enemy combatants, rebels, etc.

Right, but if the people fighting were not in uniform and they were burning towns, they would be considered terrorists, right?

Keep the sheep fat and happy (12pks of beer, NASCAR and other sports on TV), and you won't have gov't uprisings. I had never heard that people become terrorists because of poverty. Thanks Pres. and Laura Bush, for letting me know that.

Many founders of this Country and many patriots would be classified as terrorists, by today's definitions. Look no further than our first President, George Washington, John Hancock and Samuel Adams.

We will never have another Tea Party, due to the average low income American being kept boozed up and preoccupied with important stuff like TV. When Americans become more educated, they will become a little more pissed off at the Gov't and only then, will there be any dancing at the Tea Party. They day will come, but I'm fairly sure that it won't be while I'm living.

As long as people are relatively well fed and have basic rights there won't be big changes. There are no benfits to those in power to improve education, only risk. However, it is a great gift for each of us who have the freedom and time to pursue improvement within ourselves, although it takes discipline and desire. The answers have always existed inside, but modern society contains many distractions.

I see a few people post on this forum who have some knowledge of the outside world (or at least how to find it), but who remain ignorant within, without understanding.

Well then, you've learned a valuable lesson today - you shouldn't believe everything you read.

Your lesson for tomorrow will be -when you base your opinions on things you read, and those writtings are disproven, you need to change your opinion.

It's not an opinion, you belligerent jackass, and you have done absolutely nothing to disprove it. Disagreeing with the facts presented in the paper is like disagreeing that London is in England.

Name calling is unecessary and personal attacks will get you banned.

Please be respectful, or be somewhere else. Thanks!

I offer the same respect that I'm given. I disagree with most on here, but for the most part we can be civil about it. However, if someone is being a belligerent jackass, I've pointed it out. If you want to ban me, that's your prerogative as it is your website.

6thgen, many(most?) disagree with you on various levels, and have gotten testy, and argued with you, myself included, but i gave it up awhile ago, too pointless. but, i don't think you've been attacked directly(if i'm wrong, please cite examples). you on the other hand are quick with the attacks and namecalling. a defense mechanism, i believe.

my take.
