    Meh. There is no neighborhood in Oregon where MarAzul would have to fear black people. The only reason why you hear me talk about racism is because you guys are too privileged to see it. Blue32 created the thread defending the police officer who assaulted the 15 year old girl in class. Need I say more?

    I created the thread, and nowhere in there did I use race. I kept it strictly about the ACTIONS of both parties involved, and I still do stand by the Police in this instance. Race had nothing to do with that thread, when I created it, but as usual, you continue to further your race dividing agenda, by bringing race into it and making it a focal point of the topic.

    Keep at it, you're doing a great job at dividing. Specially trying to use that post as evidence of me being racist.

    I have never called you racist nor have assumed that. But you do get butt hurt when I talk about white people. If that was a little white girl in class acting like that the officer wouldn't have treated her that way and we both know it. Yet you will defend his actions to the end. I don't know man... your opinion is usually on the wrong side of the race issue...

    I see it, but I also see a difference between racism and racial issues. When you conflate the two together as one, you dilute the meaning of racism and it surely makes people roll their eyes.

    Oddly, the biggest source of racism is institutionalized and especially by government and you want more of it. Counter to your true interests.

    Whenever I look into a mirror I totally freak out myself out. Perhaps I can get a Cyber Monday deal on a ticket to Guantanamo?

    You can blame the gun or you can blame the person/group/ideology but you can't do both. It's amazing that liberals want to call this terrorism because it fits a different agenda.

    Nice to hear!

    I think it is true too! The story about Indy was more about prudence though, taking the Hotel clerks local advise, was more about avoiding a possible incident that would do no one any good, Black or White. Besides, I had a different reason for being in Indy than proving I was fearless or a fool.

    And then there is the little legality of being able to walk about in any place I like, in Oregon, fully prepared to defend myself. That isn't often the case when you fly to another State where you simply must rely on the hospitality of the locals. But even in Oregon, it is best to avoid going where you might become part of a hassle with no gain to be had. Prudence say, don't needlessly risk an incident where you might have to do some dummy without profit.

    It is terrorism if the guy was trying to discourage people from using or working for planned parenthood.

    It's not terrorism when a guy shoots up a movie theater.

    Hmm...well, the last guy who did that wasn't really "white". But yes, white people do engage in more random mass shootings. I'll grant you that. But the fact is, black people eclipse white people in all other forms of violence. Whether or not you label it "terrorism" doesn't really make matter in the scheme of things. But if you truly want to focus on "terrorism", then those school shootings don't apply because they have no agenda. Gang related shootings fit the defintion of terrorism more, since they are trying to instill fear in rival gangs, and have a social agenda.

    And not to be rude, but I think the point you are trying to make here is ludicrous. Globally, Muslim Jihadi's have killed millions of people, and have engaged in genocide. To say they are not a "real threat" because white kids have shot their school mates doesn't make sense. It's also like saying white kids shooting their class mates isn't a problem, because Black people have killed hundreds of times more people that die in school shootings.

    Using one crime to excuse another is just stupid.

    Also Dviss, about the refugees, think about it this way: imagine that 100,000 white people from 1930's Alabama got stuck in a time warp and landed in modern day Nebraska. Many of them would be decent folk, but you know a whole lot would be active lynch-mob killing KKK members too. Say 20%. How would you feel about the government bringing 10,000 of them to your local neighborhood?

    I think the terrorism needs to be expanded because some people are using violence to gain notoriety and fame. They're using fear and violence to intimidate their peers and affect society and culture. Many of them are doing it intentionally with those purposes in mind. Terrorism is evolving with the internet and viral media. It's not just a guy with a bomb strapped to his chest trying to bomb cities in Israel anymore.

    Terrorism means what it means. Until Merriam-Webster changes the definition.

    Glory seeking through mass murder isn't terrorism, it's insanity.

    Lots of things "meant what they meant" until they were changed. I think the definition needs to be expanded. That's my opinion.

    There's domestic terrorism. There's international terrorism. I think there should be a social terrorism. We're currently dealing with cultural terrorism.

    Let Merriam-Webster know your opinion.

    Until it's changed, the example you used doesn't really show the liberals are incorrect about their usage of the word.

    Stupid can't be fixed. Comments on the net about this subject scare me more than a middle aged paranoid white man with a gun.
