Calling yourself a victim is a bogus way of grabbing the emtionally charged moral high ground and legitimising your whinging but it doesn't work anymore. People have seen through that particular liberal trick. Don't think of it as "hate crimes". Think of it as terrorism. Are you for real? You're coming across as a poor satire. B2003 |

And why bring skin colour into it other than a hackneyed straw man argument which you have learnt verbatim from the Big Bumper Book of Politically Correct Debating Techniques? Ah, "political correctness". The big, horrid bogey man. Scary. Actually I think of it more as a pathetic crutch for feeble whingers who only discover a pair of balls when in a large group and ironically have no tolerance for anyone having a different opinion to theirs. Of course the irony is almost always lost on them since most are not nearly as bright as they like to think they are. Plenty. But nothing to do with them being normal. So people who aren't white and heterosexual annoy you simply by virtue of not being "normal", do they? What a lovely, tolerant person you are. Diddums. B2003 |

The Real Doctor wrote: You must surely have worked out that the point of terrorism - the definition of terrorism - is to intimidate people beyond the immediate circle of victims of a particular crime. When the IRA were blowing up I doubt many thugs consider the big picture when beating up someone they don't like. Calling it terrorism is a cynical way of gaining political traction, nothing more. So the initial crime stands, of course, and should be punished, but the additional crime of terrorising the population also deserves punishment. Don't you agree? Ah , a classic technique. Slightly change the argument to get me to agree to it then claim later how I agreed to the original point. Nice try :) Are you for real? You're coming across as a poor satire. What else would you call a deliberate attempt to intimidate a subsection of the population? Except it wasn't. You may care to read a little about cognitive dissonance. It's what happens when people try to hold two opposing ideas. Not generally a Except I don't. Got anything else in your box of tricks or is that it? In the meantime I have work to do. B2003 |

So are you saying you /don't/ think that terrorist crimes are worse than the same acts for purely personal reasons? Not really. I don't care why people do something, its what they do that matters. Would Dunblane or that killing in norway have been somehow worse if they had been done by religious nutters with an agenda? I don't think so. B2003 |

As a slight aside, isn't it strange how since 9/11 the de facto "irish" (most of them probably couldn't find Belfast on a map if it was lit up with flashing neon lights) americans support for the IRA rather dwindled. Funny how a dose of the reality of terrorism suddenly stops it being a trendy cause to support. You could argue that if 9/11 had happened a couple of decades ago a lot of yank funded deaths in northern ireland could have been prevented. B2003 |
