Oct 3, 2017 debating semantics is probably the dumbest thing to come from the internet. I hate the s---.
Oct 3, 2017 like at the edn of the day this man being labeled a terroist isnt gonna make hese families feel better. He's imo one but complaining about white people refusing to identify a white man with a label thats associated with a different race is a lost cause cuz we're mostly self-intitled pieces of s---.
Oct 3, 2017 now in about 8 hours im gonna get quoted by somebody saying i hate my own race............
Oct 3, 2017 @WavyTylerEatingDicks semantics really do matter in a case like this. Refusing to call this guy a terrorist is semantics, and it has a massive effect on society. It's why almost everyone in this topic says they think of a Muslim when they think of "terrorist," even koolo does who is a Muslim himself.
Oct 3, 2017 yea thats f----- up but nothin we do gonna chnage that arguing about here aint gonna change s---.
Oct 3, 2017 The problem is it extends past an semantic argument. It’s turned into a negative stereotype that’s affecting a group that surpasses a billion people. You don’t even need to be Muslim or from the Middle East to be affected by the “Islam is not a religion of peace” or “Muslims are terrorist” stereotypes. You just have to look the part. This has seeped into our foreign policy and our views on the Middle East. It’s easy for a government to get away with bombing innocent people when an entire group has been reduced to a concept. I think the rationale behind people wanting white Americans who commit acts like this to be labeled a terrorist is to get those,like op who automatically assume a terrorist is Muslim or a white man cant be a terrorist, to realize that not all terrorist are Muslim and to sympathize with those who are Muslim who get brandished as something they’re not based on the actions of a few. We’d never say “oh her goes another white man shooting a bunch of ppl, all white men are dangerous mass murders who are going to k--- you”. Logically speaking we know this not to be true; so not portraying an entire group as something based off the actions of a small minority is something that should be extended to those that practice Islam.
Oct 3, 2017 Are you guys f---ing stupid? or what? this shooting wasnt an act of terror, know why? his aim wasn't to incite terrorinto western society. did his actions caise terrpr? yeah, but it wasn't his purpose/goal and police havent found a motive meaning dude was a whack job that felt like killing people. Now lets look at ISIS people who are brainwashed and indoctrinated their entire life to beleive the west is the devil and the cause of everythjng wrong in the middle east. The objective of murderous/suicidal ISIS members is to incite terror into the west, in hopes of breaking down western society through fear. their objective is fear. they are terrorists. that's their whole motive. some r-----ed c---- american shooting 60 people was 100% not to "incite terror into western wociety hoping for an economic collapse" he was probably mentally ill/lonely, heard some bad news, was old and decided "f--- it gta irl" A mass shooter could be considered a terrorist regardless of skin colour, race or ethnicity. but people who just lose their s--- and s---t others, clearly do not do it because they want to incite terror, but because the feel weak/inadequate/mistreated and want to feel strong. ISIS' goal was to incite enough fear in the west through 'acts of terror' so that westerners would not live their day to day lives normally which would lead to economic collapse. that's terrorism.
Oct 3, 2017 It's not pointless at all. Forums, social media, etc, are actually perfect places to help shift the conversation for something like this because it's clear most large media outlets won't help. It was through social media that I realized people like this should be called a "terrorist" and that you don't have to be an organized group. If it seems pointless, why do anything? Why argue about your favorite movies or music? You've made thousands of posts here about that stuff which is certainly more "pointless."
Oct 3, 2017 His motive was to incite terror. He's not a terrorist group but he's a terrorist. You don't need to have a pinky and the brain world domination plan to be a terrorist.
Oct 3, 2017 I disagree big c---- I feel if he really was a wack job or say mentally unstable maybe the purpose wasn't to incite terroror, maybe there was no purpose at all ya know Where as Muslim terrorism has a purpose to damage and terrorize western society That's why ppl want to call that terrorism but not this
Oct 3, 2017 Exactly what? So then why do you talk about music and movies if it's equally pointless? @WavyTylerEatingDicks this "nothing gon change" attitude is an excuse to be lazy and do nothing plain and simple. You completely ignored the other part of my post too.
Oct 3, 2017 Doesn't matter, it's still an act of terror. Maybe all ISIS members are just an organized group of mentally ill people who lived a quiet retired life and love country music.
Oct 3, 2017 Under Nevada state law this is the definition of terrorism: “act of terrorism means any act that involves the use or attempted use of sabotage, coercion or violence which is intended to cause great bodily harm or death to the general population” He’s a terrorist, end of.
