    Sadly, thom is probably right. There are about 5 types of terrorists now. ALL, except one, hit a demographic that could get people banned. The one that doesn't fit is relatively RARE!!! In fact, in the news, and over 90% fit one of the 3 demographics.

Terrorist who openly preach hatred and to bring governments down, also, adding insult to injury this one leaded has not worked in 19 years there and lives off government hand outs.
      Why do countries go along with this?

        You DID mention a demographic! In fact, it is one of the three I mentioned! It is ALSO one of the biggest and most active. It is the...the... Well, they have changed the language SO much that there is no good word for it. They are lower class in EVERY way, and somehow believe that ALL should be a "human right", and define "homan right" to mean that only THEY are human and that all others should work to their benefit, because they deserve it.

        I sometimes hear "Good and bad are subjective, WHO is to say what is good?" Well, **I** view good and bad as OBjective! GOOD is when things are sustainable. BAD is when they aren't....

        1. Wasting is BAD! Eventually, you may die out.
        2. Pollution is BAD! Eventually, you may die out.
        3. Killing all plantlife is BAD! Eventually, you may die out.
        4. Paying with no value returned is BAD! Money will lose all value, and people may cease to help society.(Society means as a WHOLE!)
        5. Infestations are BAD! Because they can lead to destruction of the above things.
        6. Overpopulation is bad.
        7. Expecting value without value is bad! Work may lose value, etc... This, even in the absence of anything else says slavery is bad.
        8. Propaganda is bad on SO many levels! It hurts REAL research, cuase strife, breaks all rules here, etc...
        9. Etc.....

        Now, the "99%"ers broke #1,#2,#3,#5,#6, and #7, and want us to break #4! So THEY are clearly bad.

        And YEAH, the bankers and governments do the same. How many trees die because of the IRS?

                Really? - Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                Wales Listeni/ˈweɪlz/ (Welsh: Cymru, pronounced [ˈkəm.rɨ] is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and the island of Great Britain
                You're about 500 years behind the times.
                http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Wales

                Since the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542, which formally incorporated all of Wales within the Kingdom of England, there has been no geographical or constitutional basis for describing any of the territory of Wales as a principality, although the term has occasionally been used in an informal sense to describe the country, and in relation to the honorary title of Prince of Wales.

            WHERE did I say that? Rush limbaugh has ACTUALLY gone on record saying that corporations should be allowed to do practically ANYTHING as they will be governed by economic forces. He said that humans could never outpollute the earth's ability to recover.

            I, and I bet MOST conservatives, REALLY disagree with both viewpoints! Corporations DO need laws limiting them.

            On the flip side, I watched a little video yesterday about an $%^& TANK(I won't DARE call that a think tank) talking about how capitalism should be destroyed, etc... They even kept contradicting themselves. One person, for example, at one point said they needed to come up with a solution to replace it with, before they discussed such things, and then kept discussing ways to destroy capitalism.

            HEY, I see a lot of problems with capitalism also. I told you MY answer to the problems, but the people in the $%^& TANK are part of the reason why MY solution would never work. Capitalism was created to fix JUST that problem. Does it create OTHER problems? SURE! But has anyone come up with a VALID solution? NOPE! Interestingly, that $%^& tank didn't even MENTION one. They went on to use things created by capitalism to discuss how it should be destroyed. Maybe they should try doing that WITHOUT the store bought clothes, the prepared meals, the mikes, the PA system, the electricity, the video, the cameras, the internet. HECK, even the AMISH have benefited technologically and use capitalism!!!!!!!! EVEN THE AMISH!!!!!!
            Amish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

            HECK, those people's great great grandparents might have never been born if not for capitalism! We use the SAME techniques to even teach DOGS! If they knew they would ALWAYS get the same treats, only inate desire, and punishment, would be left as training methods.

            Inate desire in pets, and people, is RARE and hard to depend on, and why MY method would fail! The $%^& TANK is doing what they are because THEY have no inate desire except to negate any pressure to do what they have no desire to do. Since they realize that would DENY them any capitalistic benefits, they want to destroy it in the hopes that it will be provided to all! BUT, if monetary benefit is denied, why take the risk? If there is no added benefit, why go to the trouble?

            We are like the proverbial frog in the water. YOU KNOW, the water in a pan on a stove with an ever increasing heat. You THINK you are nice and cozy warm NOW!

    Terrorism arises because people can't keep their noses out of eveyrone else's business and their over-inflated egos make them think everyone has to live as the terrorist wants them to. There are thousands of terrorists in America - bullying neighbors and kids over what they see as the "right way to do things". There are religious and gov organizations that thrive on terrorism.

    I'm wondering what their mommy's taught them? When I was a kid and I said something about someone else's life style I was told to mind my own business. If I didn't I was punished for not minding my own business. Sure wish mommy's worldwide had the same attitude today.

        I think he has a point.
        You know yourself, you get more real news on the Internet then on TV or the radio.
        As for terrorism, with the new definitions of who constitutes being a terrorist, about half the world population could be considered terrorist.
        So yes the threat could be perceived to be bigger, but who is threatened and who is doing the threatening?

      MAN are you wrong! It's called an idiot box because of the senseless programs, and the time wasted. Info about the weather, riots, etc... can SAVE YOUR LIFE! If you don't hear it, a storm could LITERALLY blast through your neighborhood and MAIM you for life, or kill you because you couldn't spare a few minutes. Meanwhile, nearly everyone else may be LONG GONE, relaxing somewhere!
