“We really should start calling this law Scotus-care,” Justice Scalia said, to laughter from the audience. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/26/us/obamacare-supreme-court.html?_r=0

I would also pose the question: what country do we listen to whose government hasn't been around as long as ours?

You don't play chess, do you?

And yet another way that we indoctrinate people to accept the surveillance state.... ...including schools, Matt....

Gina, I think you inadvertently supported what I said. By cursing a place, it has evil done to it. Doesn't mean that place is evil itself....

I can't think of scripture exactly, but...no. To say yes is to indicate that evil is something that exists on its own, rather than being something that is done. I think it's better to say "evil was done here" than to say "this is an evil place." It also occurs to me to say that if we indicate...

And several responses in other threads, but not here. Once again: Not surprised, but disappointed.

Meanwhile, back to the opening post, CTB's response to it, and CTB's refusal to respond to Matt or others....

Re-posting for CTB's response:

Hmmm.... He killed for a socially-related agenda; but you're correct, not connected with any organization.... Loosely, he fits within the label of domestic terrorist. I disagree with the "hate crime" category on general principle, but this one comes with an admission....I could meet you at...

Would you be terrified if your car was about to crash? Does that make your car a terrorist? The reaction of the victim doesn't cause the definition of "terrorist"; the motivation of the perpetrator does. I believe you're thinking of "terrified" and "terrifying," not "terrorism." I also think...

Actually, because of his manifesto and stated beliefs, he falls into the category of domestic terrorist. He murdered for a social equality statement. In my personal-be-it-ever-so-humble opinion, of course.

So who were the terrorists at the block party in Detroit? What political or social agenda were they supporting?

Well, gentlemen, thanks for proving Zaac right.

EXACTLY. Dylan Roof is a domestic terrorist. Osama was an international terrorist. Hamas and the IRA are terrorist organizations. The shooter(s) in the Detroit situation identified in the opening post? Not terrorists. Criminals, plain and simple. But CTB's response to the opening post...

You're the one that injected Dylan Roof in a thread about a shooting in Detroit (post #14). If you disagree that the Detroit shooting was an act of terrorism, then take it up with CTB, not me.

Yes, I have. This thread isn't about Dylan Roof. Keep your threads straight so you don't look foolish.

No. a person who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims. From French*terroriste, from Latin terror*(see*terror). The word was originally applied to supporters of the Jacobins in the French Revolution, who advocated repression and violence in pursuit of the principles of democracy and...
