On the stretching of meanings

[spen666]

Look again at the thread title, and then the first four words of the post you replied to.

Nice way to avoid answering the question I asked

Erm try again. In the post you replied to, I asked a question you never answered in your reply

Why would I answer a question you were putting to someone else?

You quoted @Pross and asked him a question relating to what he wrote, not me.

Anyway, to spell it out for you, the thread is about the s t r e t c h i n g of meanings, not prescriptive definitions.

 

[Pross]

why would giving a warning so no one is hurt be relevant to whether something is terrorism or not?
It might change it from murder to something else, but wouldn't change whether it is terrorism or not

I was responding to a previous post about the definition being expanded to include criminal damage in areas of violence. I would argue terrorism has always included acts of criminal damage where no-one is injured.

What are "areas of violence" ? IAMFI!

I think you'd find the bogeyman a helpful concept. It's somewhere you can safely bundle together anything you don't like.

jup all sides love it and when you call all criticism ''blaing an bogeyman'' you get situations where its extreme against extremer left against right etc. etc.

Really? 😂

Here’s one that’s decidedly not ‘leftish’: legitimate concerns.

Correct, however they are often abused for either left or right agenda's for example there is a legitimate concern that not every person who comes to this or any other country as a illegal's/undocumented/etc migrant is the peacefull angel some leftish outlets/propaganda channels make them out to be. That is simply an lie, on the flip side the thing that farage/brittian first and friends tried to portray is not true either

With as direct result is where we are now, the sensible soluttion from the very start would have been ''we letting in so xxxxx amount of poeple let very different backgrounds who flee an area where several tribes/religions/ethnicities being at odds with each other is the main reason for the conflict, maybe we should monitor and set some clear rules and consequences for if those rules are broken'' but our successive governments did f*ck all resulting in an rise of crimes like honor killings, rapes, and groups of religion A and B fighting eachother. No Wonder Farge and co are so succesfull, it's like a bucket of water that almost overflow's and instead of getting a other bucket you put the tap open futher.
(and no i'm not saying they are all like that, but if it's only a small percentage of 100.000 you can still have a 1000 of thse poeple around raging from outright mentalily ill dangers to soceity to Isis fanatic's to former Asad's butchers. Would could possibly go wrong right.

You can apply sadly this whole story to a lot of things, in the nineties the Netherlands used to be known for the ''poldermodel'' which meant so much as debating until a suitable soluttion between to parties was found often leading to the middle ground, which is exactly what the ''polder'' is, it's a dutch term for a lower dyke next to a river with a room/land in between then can flood to the higher dyke will prevent more flooding.

Is leftish a description of someone who has quite made it to the esteemed NCAP status of Leftie?

It's self acredited i think when i talk about leftie/leftish or the otherway around i mean it in a broader scope then just a cycling forum and i also do not mean to target certain users specifically.
