Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
You have ZERO idea who did it, but your first response is more death? Why would you even suggest that it is a foreign group?

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
Yea, you're right. There have never been homegrown terrorists in the US. Not on April 19th. Not in Oklahoma. Not in Texas. Especially not on tax day AND Patriot day.
This is pretty funny, huh?

Re: Obamas Initial Response
What HE said is the equivalent of "if you kill someone, you will go to jail".
Wait a minute Obama...you mean if you catch them you won't just release them? What kind of asshat leader are you?? /s
What YOU said was the equivalent of "I'm not saying it was dark skinned people, but if it was dark skinned arabic people, we should bomb their country".
A bomb goes off in America and you rush to blame "them" with "them" being foreigners because your idiot box has you brainwashed into believing that terrorists live in the desert in the middle east, pray to allah and have brown skin.

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
Its either that or a disturbed domestic individual.
So if they're brown, they are terrorists, but if they are White Americans, they are "disturbed domestic individuals"? What the fuck?
Im not suggesting anything yet...we shall see.
No, you are actually suggesting it. "I'm not racist, but.... (here's something racist as fuck)"
And what would be your response, were you a national leader? Turn the other cheek?
Do not put words in my mouth. Secondly, since you are so keen on an entire group of people taking the fall for the fringe sector, you should have NO problem when I ascribe creationist tendencies to you and liken you to the WBC.

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
The fact is that this was an act of violence.
If the perpetrator (of any ethnicity or color..it doesn't matter) is mentally ill, give them justice.
If the perpetrator or perpetrators--of any ethnicity or color--were aware of what they were doing, I agree with Obama. Bring them to justice!!
So you are saying the people who did this should be punished.

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
Anyone who would do such a thing ...lets just say that justice is demanded at this point.
WHO? Who are you going to prosecute? Do you have a suspect, Phat? Who does your justice hammer strike?

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
But you don't know that.
Ah, but I am not the one making a claim. You made a positive speculation based on nothing whatsoever, then further tried to make an argument out of it.
So far no one knows what the message or purpose was or even if there was a message.
Then why are you saying "if the message was...." when you admit here that no one has any idea?
The point is that the person or persons that committed these acts may not be "disturbed" (what ever that means) and could be foreign or domestic.
Thank you captain obvious. We can also deduce that whoever did this must be a human being, may or may not be a male and may or may not be caucasian.
But once we learn if there is a message or what the reasons were, .
And until that time, don't you think it best to not speculate? otherwise, we end up with victims being blamed just because they have brown skin and appear to be of Arabic decent.
we need to look and see if there are perhaps changes we need to make in our behavior as a nation and as a culture.
Uh, no? Why should you or I change our culture because someone blew some shit up?

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
Let me ask if you understand what placing the term "if" in a sentence implies?
Why even bring it up? Why enter it it into discussion?
"If the moon were made of cheese, we could mine it for gold"
"If China really wanted to go to war, they could nuke us"
What purpose does mindless speculation serve?
If I had said that you might even have a point, however I did not say or even imply any such thing.
You said exactly that. It's right there, right above my message, not 3 pages back, so you should have no problem finding it and no excuse.

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
Please point out in the full quote where I say that we should change anything because there was a bomb?
Is that not what this entire thread is about? A fucking BOMB that exploded in Boston? Are you really trying to be so pendantic as to separate the issues?
You are now saying we should change our culture based on their motive (the motive for BOMBing a building), but it has nothing to do with a BOMB?
Please point out in the full quote where I say that we should change anything because there was a bomb?
I really have no idea why I even bothered to enter into discussion with you. I should have known better.

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
More bullshit.
And Americans realized that some of their behavior, some of their culture, some of their behaviors were contributing causes of the bombings and riots and burnings and began making positive changes.
Are you ill? You have just now admitted that you DID say what you have spent the last 4 messages denying you said. What, exactly, did I say that was "bullshit"?
Now that you admit to saying what you denied saying: why should you or I change our behavior due to someone bombing stuff? How does the way I live cause someone to bomb something?
OR (and you culd have clarified long ago)
Do you mean that we, as a society, need to change how we deal with people that struggle with mental health issues?
If the former, I heartily disagree and think you know better than to use the sin argument (people set bombs off because of violence and nudity and sex on TV and because society is "fallen")
If the latter, then I agree. Either way, stop being a trite dickhead and make clear what you are trying to say.

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
Sorry but even in what you quoted where do I say that we should change our behavior because of a bombing?
Then why are you bringing it up here? This thread is about a couple bombs that went off in Boston. i am sure you can see why I made the "mistake" of thinking you were talking about the subject matter. I shall never again accuse you of actually being on topic (that is, of course, if I make it out of this conversation with any amount of sanity).
It is not the bomb we should be guided by but rather an examination of our behavior.
Ok, let's break this down Barney style: what behavior? Next: why do we need to examine it? Who is included in "our"? What causes us to need to examine it?
If you cannot answer these questions, please don't bother responding.

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
So your idea of clarifying your point is to just requote all of your posts in this thread in their entirety? Here's a hint: if I didn't quite catch it the first time your typed it, what makes you think I will if you just put it all in one place?
You aren't being clear. I am asking you for clarification. Do you, or do you not, care about actually communicating? Or do you just want to posture?
