Re: classic definition of terrorist

How many definitions are there?

[Cold Heart]

One. There are other definitions that people make up to try and exclude the particular form of terrorism that fits their ideology.
I didn't make up the definition I posted, it is from the dictionary.

"In America, dissenting views can be heard," he said. "This is a referendum on the rights of a political movement to talk about these things in the open."

How ironic that so many on the left agree with this defense for the animal activists but have no problem with a person going to jail for 30 years for praying on the sidewalk outside an abortion clinic.

Your definition of "Domestic" terrorist is more pertinent to the article.

"NAVS". Is a PETA/ALF front group/web site.

The trolls need to get a grip... PETA SHAC and the ALF value little bunnies the same as normal people value children. They are against testing on fruit flies for cripes sake.

It is a sick obsession.

When they contract prostate cancer or something similar, lets see how many of their guiding principles the "Spare the little test bunnies" crowd adhere to... Will they refuse the chemo and pain drugs that have been developed and tested using animals ?

Get a life trolls!
