    You're right, of course .. I've no hope of changing this individual's mind. He's way too dedicated to his brand of 'thinking' for that to happen. A brand of thinking that just 'happens' to show willful blindness towards known terrorists BEING such, and their acts being what they obviously are.

    The difference is simple. Native Americans were defending themselves. They weren't spreading like locusts trying to take control of everything. His analogy is lame.

    If possible, let's worry less about who we think someone may be, and concentrate more on the subjects at hand? Elessar has already vouched for this member, so we know it's not someone else. Beat one another up with the facts.

    @jimnyc My GF drives me off the rails with that crap. "Everybody's a sock". A lot of people think if you have a different name on a different board you're a sock. I'm like How does THAT work? Once I get an ID on one board I'm just stuck with it everywhere I go?

    I'm not imaginative enough to pretend to be someone else.

    As far as the topic goes .... You could technically call Native Americans of the Old West "terrorists". Or you could call it what it was ... a clash of cultures. In that regard, that is the issue in the Middle East. What you call it is irrelevant.

    What I don't get about it just how stupid do you have to be? You've got an Egyptian claiming to be a so-called Palestinian stirring this sh*t up (Arafat). You've got Iran, who are Persians, not Arabs, keeping it going. You give the former the Nobel Peace Prize and the latter the green light to get nukes.

    Do any of these jugheads use that empty space between their ears?

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Clever, but ineffective.

    Been sniffing starting fluid again? Beyond that, not going to touch this.

    "Terrorist" is just another label. By definition, if I scare you, I'm a terrorist. It's just more misuse of a word. I'll tell you right now, if you're facing me? I'll do my best to terrorize the f*ck out of you. Anything to throw you off your game. It's called PsyOps (psychological warfare).

    What I WON'T do is send anyone down to a market loaded with noncombatants and commit murder. Which, is the definition of "terrorism" nowadays. Big difference between your analogy and reality. Starting with you not even knowing who the war chief was for the Souix.

    These cowardly Palestinians won't fight. Name one battle where they faced up. Native Americans would face you head on, win lose or draw. And they would fight you man to man to the death. These cowardly Arabs wouldn't know how to fight a man if you drew them a Yosemite Sam picture.

    THAT is the difference.
