You pick and choose when to see things through your eyes, and when to 'say for sure'. Funny you don't have the same opinion in all your politics. |
Really, who so? I never noticed that.
Don't you feel the least bit obligated to call what is wrong, wrong? |
I do, when I feel it is wrong.
Do I feel terrorism is wrong? Yes.
pfft, more "i'm okay, you're okay" garbage. |
Hey, it's my beliefs, no one has to like it. Like i say, "live and let live."
You'd sit here and make voting for terrorists just a 'different mindset'. |
That reminds me of something...

So, what about the terror that our own government does?
Is that justifiable?
Do we sit on our hands while it happens? Do we only look outside our country for terror?
The fact is, terrorism occurs, in various forms and degrees, every day. By our government, other governments, by people,etc...
Example: The camps here in the USA, that trains "counter terror" officials, in how to get answers from people.
Can you honestly say, that a person deserves to be tortured, or terrorized in order to obtain answers? No matter who they are, or what they believe?
I for one do not.
