the only reason to make the change is to clarify that the purpose of these bombers is to murder

LOL. Right, because otherwise it would be too tough to figure out the purpose of someone walking into a crowded coffee shop and detonating a bomb. What idiocy.

And you people on the losing side of this debate keep trying to suggest I am angry. I get it. It's an attempt to somehow discredit me, the poster, since you're having no luck against my points. That's fine. Typical loser tactics. Doesn't bother me, and once again, I'm not the slightest bit angry. Actually, I was pleased to see so many supporting my point of view.

It's obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that someone who walks into a crowded shop and detonates a bomb intends to do harm. What isn't clear, unless it is described, is the method used. As another poster pointed out, Timothy McVeigh was a "homicide" bomber. But to insist on language that renders us unable to distinguish between a truck bomb and a human bomb is to cripple the language for the sake of emotion. It's just dumb.

I'm not 'debating' with you Huck.

I don't think it's worth arguing about, but I am rather curious as to why this non-issue is such a BIG issue to you.

You can say you're not angry all you want, but your posting history belies that argument.

As I said, it is NOT an issue with me, so I cannot possibly be a 'loser' as you assert.

But if it's important for you to declare yourself a 'winner' in this non-debate, and it makes you feel better, or elevates your self-esteem, or whatever.......feel free.

Carry on with your heart-felt......(better word for it than 'angry?') argument. I'm not interested in continuing, thanks.........
