That word , 'Terrorist'
Has that word, 'terrorist' ever been used in history before? I read in history books that there were anarchists before, but I never found any terrorists before. Can anyone come up with an explanation?

Ok, let's tread very carefully here as this board has a strict "No politics" rule.
Here's an interesting background to the word "terrorism":- Quote:
Again, remember the NO POLITICS and NO RELIGION rules :) |
I think Edwin's reference nails it. The anarchist seeks to overthrow (government or order) by violence; the terrorist seeks to create chaos via fear. One targets the state; the other targets the populace.

One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. This topic is unavoidably political.

Lets try and keep it calm though.. We have a nice quiet atmosphere here and we are all mature and should be able to discuss things w/o them blowing up right?
|
...and without them blowing us up. ;)

Welcome to EMD....

One have to be good at rhetoric to talk only formally about such sensitive matters. It feels like politics or ideology very easily. I fail to but ok me not good at rhetorics or spin.
I like that EMD has as little of politics as possible. such get nasty very fast. They have presidental fight in US now and for several month more. Such could fill pages of threads. ;) So we better stop writing, gets out of hand. And besides, to use that word will target us as a hate site would it not. How subtle we try it could get misunderstood as implicit connotation to something else. I'm skeptical to all this. Would it not be best we delete the thread to not get EMD in trouble? I'm a pessimist when it comes to internet and security. I hope I am wrong though. |

One thing I like about this particular site is that it generally focuses like a laser beam on e-mail. Controversies and heated discussions are limited to that (and to other things tech-related). |
The only "religious " fights we have here is about the pseudo religious love for Linux or Fastmail. But that is most likely taboo to admit. :) Such is holy.
