This kind of sh!t means that Al Qaeda did more damage to the US than just destroying the WTC and damaging the Pentagon.

Looks like either people skimmed over this or didn't get it - Red Dawn is completely right though. The 9/11 attack wasn't about killing people for the terrorists. It was about instilling fear into the United States, and trying to ruin our livelyhoods. As far as the Al Quesadilla are concerned, the people that got killed were merely in the way of the original goal. They probably could have cared less if those airplanes were empty or not.

Fear is a more potent weapon than war any day. In that, the terrorists are winning this war hands down.

But on the other hand you would be supporting your local community for being a free source of Natural gas 😉

riiiiight. but it seems to me that certain industries and certain circles in the government are only too eager to pass legislature like the 'patriot act', or to accuse everything of supporting 'terrorism'.

why do you think they are called terrorists?


Everytime you make a statement about Helping to fund International terrorism, you are funding international terrorism
 
Our own government, with the likes of Rumsfeld and Ashcroft, are more dangerous than the whole lot of terrorist organizations out there. Terrorism is far less of a problem than the current cabinet makes it out to be. Sure over 2000 Americans died in the 9/11 attacks, but that was a one-time incident perpetuated by lax aircrew training regulation and the lack of diligence by our own executive branch of government in monitor foreigners (to make the foreigners accountable for their presence) within the borders. The money transfers these people used weren't even monitored because they were below the $10000 threshold that required reporting from the financial institution to the Dept. of Treasury. This war on Iraq is largely a just war some twelve years too late, but by the same intuition used in these hearings the U.S. military supports terrorism because they consume oil!

Kazaa users are efficient enthusiasts that save oil by not driving to their local shopping centers, not putting money into the coffers of Hollywood or the recording industry that has their own self-admitted drug problems, and the time eaten by downloads willingly ties up countless bored teenagers that could potentially be out vandalizing public property...

And then some environmental group will be on your @$$ about contributing to global warming, lol

Pirates help fund terrorism, people that use gas fund terrorism... yes, what's next is people that fart fund terrorism!
 
The government's only pissed cause they can't tax it. Same with drugs. They tax you when you earn your money, they tax it again when you retire, and again when you die. They tax you when you buy food, when you buy gas to go to the job where you earn the money they tax...
 
well i suppose i could read the article and form my opinion carefully by weighing the so-called "facts," but i've got an easier way. open my mouth and yell "BULLSH1T!"
 
LOL! Kazaa funds terrorism, somehow, I can't provide an example though. 😀

Time will tell who's more gullible, the public or politicians.
 
So something that doesn't cost money somehow generates revenue to fund terrorism? Good one.

Is anyone else getting sick of the US government screaming 'Terrorist' at every turn?
 
The real question is - what supports terrorism more :

1. Trading illegal mp3s and movies
2. Driving to the store and buying the music & movies that are produced by the MPAA & RIAA artists who use illegal drugs (which fund terrorism)

I wonder how much terrorism was funded by the crack Malcolm had to be smoking to come up with that argument..
