I suggest the word terrorist be removed from conversation, and be replaced with the more lengthy "using non conventional warfare" or whatever appropriate. It makes conversations about seemingly tangible terminology, much more tangible when spoken with tangible quantities. I am still yet to understand what a terrorist in modern usage really is. If I did think I understood what it meant, then I would have arrested my neighbours since they were commie sympathizers, and everyone knows how them commies and terrorists stick together. At least with anti-communist propaganda, the entire basis of bullshit was around some political ideology which spiralled into name calling. Not to say that communism is great.. but has any modern society seen a communist ideology as stated for communism, actually implemented? the soviet union, was a socialist state iirc, and not communist in the marxist sense. Do they still teach that at school? Marx was a full-flight communist believer, and viewed that communism was the destinity of social ideologies. Naturally, there are many other books to say what marx did not accurately predict. But thats one of the arguments against sociology as a science isn't it? Also why pyschiatry is seen as a science these days (though many would call it a soft science). But stick a large enough population in a room, and then start telling them to zap people with electricty.. better yet. give half 20 bucks, and the other half 1 buck as payment to reply to these posts. -- Silvio _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
