<< it's ironic that you choose the r/w/b ribbon as your symbol here. >>

You didn't. You implied there was justification, or an excuse for their actions.

<< hmm...

what they did may be evil, WRONG, and horrible.. but definatly not "cowardly" >>



what? people who kill innocent, unsuspecting people are cowards, period. it's a no brainer. people who kill themselves because they think they will be rewarded in heaven are selfish cowards. just because they died doesn't make what they did brave. they thought they would be rewarded like a dog who gets a milk bone for sitting. if they are not cowardly what are they, then? what is the opposite of coward, is it brave? would you call them brave? you wouldn't call them brave around me because i'd slap the taste out of your mouth. >>



WHERE DO I SAY BRAVE? SO U THINK US BOMBERS BOMBING PPL FROM SAFTY OF THEIR AIRPLANE IS "BRAVE"? AND U KNEW WHAT THE TERRORISTS WERE DOING WHEN THEY COMMITTED THE ACT? HOW DO U KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING THIS FOR AND IF THEY WERE DOING IT TO GO TO HEAVEN?

AND U THREATEN ME WITH SOMETHING U PUT IN MY MOUTH? ITS TRUELLY PATHETIC THAT U HAD TO PUT SOMETHING I DiDNT SAY AND THREATEN ME WITH THAT...

Hehe, calm down. They did the same thing to me, but you dont see me flipping out.

Just keep an open mind.

Here in America, if you disagree with our policies, we're out to get you. We're going to shun you, make you feel like an idiot, and god forbid if you said it in public, you'd probably get your ass beaten. Follow the crowd, and dont disagree with the popular opinion that is shoved down our throat by the media and the government, or else you're not one of us. And if you're not one of us, you're no better than the terrorists. You're not a real "patriot" unless you agree with everyone else's ideas.

Sounds pretty communist for a country that prides itself on individuality and freedom of speech.

<< ???

I really don't see what's cowardly about ramming a jet full of passengers and yourself into a building full of people. >>



Because it doesn't fit the american view of honour and bravery in glorious battle on the field, dieing bravely for your country, yadda yadda yadda....

The art of Ninja work alot like terrorists, that is to inflict fear and suprise upon the enemy(this includes innocents as well), why don't we call them cowards?

Freedom of speech applies only to government persecution or prosecution. It does NOT apply to public opinion. The First Amendment does not mean people have to agree with what you say, like what you say, or remain quiet and not protest what you say.

I see your Constitutional knowledge is about as deep as your historical knowledge.

Never said that it did. Stop making assumptions, and stay within context for once. I'm not asking you to stop. I'm just making a point, and apparently it got through.

I'd bet my bottom dollar if I got my ass kicked for saying those thing it wouldnt be considered a "hate crime" because it isn't PC enough.

No one wants to kick your ass, Dee, we're all laughing too hard.

Don't think for a second that you're the only one laughing.
