I know, I said that Latin Americans are mixed i know that italians are brown skinned but are european and viewed as white in america. latin americans are not viewed as white here though since the majority of latin americans are mixed with native americans. I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm truly thinking of completing cutting my ties with the ideology. It's so disturbing to think this is the future of society. People calling you a racist, a bigot, a -phobic, and now a terrorist because you do not agree with them. I support these ranchers and I hope they get their way. Sorry I'm not sorry. Liberalism is being hijacked and I call them the regressive left.. I know many liberals who feel like Liberalism is turning into something else. It would be better if you become a Libertarian though 8 minutes ago, SubRosa said: “the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or social objectives.” definitions of terrorism So this means the millions of Egyptian protesters are terrorists right? it is not terrorism if your asking for your legal right against a government that is taking your legal right away.

Water cannons and tear gas are not true weapons in my eyes. So that question really doesn't make any sense. I would have to say that if firearms were discharged in that particular situation, then yes, I would be a little appalled. But I still would not classify it as terrorism.

Just an attempt at reasonable discussion between myself and others. But, continue to think that I'm racially biased. All you're doing is proving my earlier point that its the "cool" thing to do to call someone racist if they don't agree with a particular situation.

They were protesting on the streets. And if they used weapons to occupy government property they could be classified as terrorists. again "Protesters are upset about the punishment of two ranchers who they say refused to sell land The ranchers were convicted of arson, sentenced to 5 years; prosecutors said they torched public land to try to cover up poaching" FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a militia of angry ranchers suddenly rises overnight and begins killing people across the country, then I'll get inboard with calling it terrorism.
