Is it time to lock up the Greenpeace terrorists?

[RDJ]

People fighting for "so called freedom" have been bombing mothers and babies for a very long time,chances are your related to one or more of em along the way.

Since I didn't do it myself, any relationships I may or many not have to anyone else are irrelevant. Just like I have no obligations for colonialism or any other 'ism' I was not part of... I do not believe in inherited guilt. You can as you wish. As long as you do not try and tax me to make yourself feel better.

I wonder how many American drones have killed mothers and babies.

And the relevance of this to Bobby Sands' terrorism is what exactly?

That America is guilty of just as much (if not more) 'terrorism' as Bobby Sands ever was.

Which in turn has what to do with Greenpeace?

[RDJ]

Nothing much, but then - I did not link Mr Sands to Greenpeace. That was another inmate. You may wish to rechannel your ire

[Berries]

I'm just pissed that nobody got my joke.

Hmmm. I am not sure you can 'get' this but - when so-called freedom fighters bomb mothers and babies shopping at supermarkets the first words that come to mind are not 'freedom' and 'fighting' but murderous, morally bankrupt, evil, sadistic, terrorism. Clearly, you have a different perspective. I could have introduced you to some victims at the time but on reflection, probably better not to have done so. You would have very likely made it worse for them.

"You must spread ..."

Real Freedom fighters do not target women and children ..

Plenty ..

Yes - no argument there ..

The question to ask is - has America ever specifically targeted mothers and babies?

Certainly collateral fatalities are tragic - but there is a difference between a Terrorist who specifically targets the Mothers and Babies, and the Drone that targets a military target.

They use taxation for that purpose.

Remember WW2?

However unpalatable it is for you to accept it, carpet bombing of civilian populations is exactly that.

As a direct response to Hitlers change at the end of the Battle of Britain from targeting military installations to targeting Cities.

And when you consider that Accuracy in WW2 was a bomb landing within 5 miles of the intended target, you can't really claim targeting in the same sense you claim when referring to a drone strike where the accuracy is measured within 5 meters of the intended target.

Actually, the first bombs to land on London were not intended for that target. They were jettisoned prematurely by a bomber that had lost it's way and was being attacked by fighters.

Churchill responded by specifically targeting Berlin over the next three nights and then it was all on.
