Terrorism

[we r law]

The subject here is terrorism, not isolated instances of violence, which itself, is propagated by familial or social conflict.

Terrorism is a far ranging act of violence, based on racial hatred or inequality, enacted upon large groups of people, not individuals or small groups.

Religion is the perpetrator of terrorism - that is an undisputable fact.

you think I am harrasing you by questioning your post
I know what wezwaz said. However your post about an incident in Melbourne in my opinion is an extremely poor example to back up your argument.
We all are permitted to post something, you'd be better off stating how your comment validates your claim that we are uncivilised rather than screaming harassment

[DG58]

Got nothing better to do? you come back and post something that has nothing to do with what was said, and besides, i have the right to post something without being harassed.

wezwaz said that Israel (the whole country) and the middle east as a whole is uncivilized, and this particular incident in Melbourne is one of many, so it's relevant.

[Thing]

Gee you're clutching at straws when you go trolling for news stories and find a story about a driver then suggest the ENTIRE country is uncivilized because of this incident

[DG58]

I just read a news article ( sorry i can't post the link here) about an 18 year old boy and his friend being run over by an idiot driver because they crossed the road too slow somewhere in Melbourne.

Yes wezwaz, this is a very civilized country.

[DG58]

You're right, but i think wezwaz meant terror bombing ( suicide bombing)

My point? well, wezwaz said that Australia is a civilize country compare to Israel where they're uncivilized, for many countries in the middle east he /she would be right, but he/she included Israel with the other countries in the statement and that was wrong.

'If Australia wasn't an island, you would have had many bombing right here in the cities,forget Bali, it would have happen here, at least in Israel the security forces are second to non.'

There has been bombings in Aust cities, Whiskey a go go (Brisbane) 1970's, Hilton Hotel (Sydney) 1970's, Russel St Police Station (Melbourne) 1980's - what's your point?

"These coutries are uncivilized compared to Australia"

Really???? care to rake a walk somewhere late a night by yourself? or maybe just stare at someone in a night club? do you listen to the news? bashing, murders, rapes, home invasions every day, so do you call yourself civilized? you be a lot safer walking around Israel, at least you'll know what to look for to avoid danger.

If Australia wasn't an island, you would have had many bombing right here in the cities,forget Bali, it would have happen here, at least in Israel the security forces are second to non.

[wezwaz]

Say what you like. These coutries are uncivilized compared to Australia and they need to wake up before they blow themselves up completely.

"Whatever it is, I believe these countries should be cut loose from the rest of the world, and we should have nothing to do with them."

Sure,

What is the Western world going to do without access to all that oil and natural gas though. Didn't think of that did you?

[DG58]

So why don't you talk to al qaeda the taliban and hizbollah in "a constructive way"

Comparing or mentioning Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan in the same subject is like comparing chocolate and salt.

[Thing]

'If those other countries show no attempt to sort their problems in a constructive way, then cut 'em loose.'

Like Nth Korea - oh hang on, whilst everyone ignored them they acquired Nuclear technology...
Its a bit hard to ignore them when they set off 4 kilotons of boom

Probably wise to keep these countries in the loop so we can see what they're up to...

[wezwaz]

"...we're all living on this one earth."

Yeh, but it's obvious some of us are a lot more civilized than the rest. If those other countries show no attempt to sort their problems in a constructive way, then cut 'em loose.

OK, DG58, tell me your solution.

[DG58]

You should go and get your head looked at, there's something wrong with your brain.

"sure we have crime like any other country, but we don't have blokes strapping bombs to themselves and blowing people up. Why is that?"

there are terror attacks everywhere, where have you been? Australia (lucky us) is an island and it's a bit hard for them to get here, but they're coming.

"Whatever it is, I believe these countries should be cut loose from the rest of the world, and we should have nothing to do with them. It's a difficult situation and I feel sorry for the innocents in those countries."

The most idiotic statement I've ever heard, unless you want to live on Mars we're all living on this one earth.

[wezwaz]

What is it about countries like Iraq, Israel and Afghanistan where terrorist acts are a regular occurrence? I mean, in Australia, sure we have crime like any other country, but we don't have blokes strapping bombs to themselves and blowing people up. Why is that?

Whatever it is, I believe these countries should be cut loose from the rest of the world, and we should have nothing to do with them. It's a difficult situation and I feel sorry for the innocents in those countries.

I've heard someone say Palestine v Israel can never be resolved. Why? Do the idiots ever sit down and think all this fighting is achieving nothing, but death and destruction? Cut them off. Don't trade with them. Make them work it out!
