Actions have consequences. Intended or not. Loony religions play a role in terrorism but don't cause it.
I do blast those that claim to be conservative yet don't hold up to conservative values. And nothing I've said is new found knowledge. You offer no insight nor arguments for any of your points of view. Just the same ole blah blah look at this guy or insult hurled.
you didnt answer the question. also, do you consider the murder of dutch filmmaker theo van gogh for his anti-muslim art to be "blowback"?. clearly, as you say, his "actions have consequences". if he had never made movies and whatever, he would never have been stabbed to death while riding his bicycle in amsterdam. his anti-muslim rhetoric got him murdered on the street. blowback, right?. do you think he should have just kept his mouth shut? perhaps, if he wanted to live. but the question is, did he want to be right, to take a stand against cowardice? or should he have shut his movies down and worried about "blowback"? yunno, like a ****ing pussy.
it works better if your post is followed by some explanation. what i wrote was a good correlation. your bigger cities correlation is not good. it is both the US action and their religious extremism that is the cause. the cause, not the blame.
if you are going to differentiate that way between cause and blame, then the cause is not relevant. like if you stab me because i looked at your wife, you could technically say that the cause was both your lunacy and the fact that i looked at your wife. but that doesnt mean anything. i havent done anything wrong, you are entirely to blame and that is all that matters as far as examining the policy or procedures that led to the incident.
it matters if you want to examine all options for preventing it in the future. sometimes making small changes to behavior can be beneficial to you even if you are not morally obliged.
incorrect. altering your behavior encourages bullying and makes the problem worse. you should never allow your behavior to be changed by violence. you can never teach anyone that violence is the solution. terrorism should be rewarded by more of the behavior that caused it. like if i take a dump on a cartoon mohammad, and i am killed, you should also take a dump on mohammad, everyone should. we have a to take a stand, not jusy live like a bunch of idiotic cowards. if we ever bend over and change or re-examine our policy because of terrorism, we may as well just take a shotgun to ourselves because we are cowardly worthless sacks of ****.
it all depends on how big a deal the "thing" that the extremists are opposed to is to you. personally, i can live without having to take a dump on a cartoon. also, part of this is acknowledging that the US can and has made mistakes. since you like to personalize, say you got drunk and ran over some broad on your bike, killing her. her husband finds you and beats the $hit out of you. so you say, f___ you, dude. find his sister and kill her too? or do you say how sorry you are and wont ride your obey while under the influence anymore? you are quite the idealogue, martin.
