I think it is very hard to argue that the KKK is not a terrorist organizaton. I believe I did address that by saying that the KKK has performed terrorist acts. I can not say that they are terrorist because the people that they terrorize must make that assertion . In my mind, they are a terroris
I would beg to differ on that. Protests as long as they are not violent are fine and "legal" and in no way can they be considered a terrorist act as long as they "stay" non-violent.Cross burning on the other hand is VERY illegal to start with. As I already said. It's very illegal. But very non terrorist
Just for you kiddo!
There is no telling when this storm will abate so until then I'll weave a little story here and hope to pass the time. I'll write this Easy-Mac poetry stir up the words, add water perhaps I'll make something amazing The rain pours down outside the leaves float among willow winds And I am reminded of th
I don't know what happened, but I'll keep you in my prayers little one. Take care of yourself, ok? All my love, Alex
I'm not saying that the KKK has not engaged in terrorist activities. I'm saying that burning a cross isn't a terrorist activity. There is a big difference there. I do not approve of what they do in any respect, but terrorism is a very specific thing, and a lot of activities of protest organizations like the KKK are not terrorism. I'd post more, but I have class.
The fact that it is hard for the PA to control its own people is a problem for Israel. It is in fact the reason why Israel kept the areas occupied for so long. AS LONG and UNTIL the Arabs don't give up their dream of destroying Israel and throwing all the Jews in the sea, Israel doesn't really have many options.
I would argue that yes, both groups are terrorist--the abortion clinic case is touchy, but when you factor in the killing of abortion clinic doctors--you can easily argue them into the realm of "terrorism." Nonviolent protest will always never fall into the realm of terrorism. That is why the right to p
In the case of Palestinians vs. Israel, this is a big deal. Occupation in this situation means that each side does not have what it wants, ie. its theological homeland. Especially where religious fanaticism is concerned, this is a big deal. Because neither side has what it truly wants, the people of these areas become disenfranchized, which makes it hard for the Palestinian Authority to truly control its own people. This is also a problem for th
And come to think of it "Palestine" does not employ terrorism either. At least the PLO and PA claim they do not. It's Hamas and a few other groups that do. "Palestine", aka the PA officially fight them Since 1994, Palestinians and Israelis have both engaged in terrorist activites. Governmental agencies
Welcome to 1984--beware the thought police, lest they mark you too as a "terrorist." Although I don't believe we've slipped that far down (America is not such a negative utopia) I think it is important that we know what we are doing domestically and overseas. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" a
You can go to war against a tactic by destroying the powers that employ the tactic. I'd ask you to read my reply to Evorg's comment. As I've already said, going against powers that employ terrorist tactics is not as clean cut as it sounds. Oversimplifying things means you make mistakes. The problem her
Terrorism is a tactic you don't go to war against a tactic You can go to war against perpetrators of said tactic, but when borders are blurry and hard to define, war becomes a harder thing to accomplish. That is why policy now attaches a place to the war. If there is no place, we are in an ide
College life has presented me with a few wonderful courses, one of which is "International Relations and Politics" This class has a required text based on the history, motivations, definitions and actions of terrorists and terrorism. I'm citing it down in the bottom, but I'd like to share some of my learning with a little bit of opinion on the side.
Free spirits roam the halls tonight not of free will of course they don't have a freedom as powerful as that. The drink makes them bold and carefree happy and secure and so they flit from person to person taking what they get here, and what they want there. It's easy to capacitate that sort of thing when incapacitated. <
Why don't you read my poems??? I'm sad
Knew you would
I like that question about dreams. I don't have a good enough response for it yet, but it's got me thinking!As usual Beebes you've got magic fingers! I'd love to hear your response. I'm sure the answer will be more magical than the question.
This is a damn good poem, btw. I tend to like the philosophical questioning a lo I'm glad you enjoyed it. A friend and I were talking about this for about an hour, and I decided to write this poem on his laptop.
Full of dreams and hope as we trundle out of bed every morning we go forward full of ideas, full of chances fresh glitter and smiles. We tell ourselves that we're going to take that chance that undeniable chance is ours today and we promise ourselves there will be no pain here and there. We tell ourselv
Very good - especially the "falling down the escalator" imagery. Thank you!
It's been just a few days and It's clear to see everything has changed takes my breath away how we run so fast without really ever stopping I can't get over that. Things seem fine they are, really but I don't think holding your breath is a good way to work under all the pressure you could get the bends and t
Ok, now I get to critique... it is my style after all I love the poem... it's amazing. The style is good, but some of your breaks are worth reconsidering. Breaks are put where the emphasis is wanted most. Putting a lot of emphasis on I
