ISIS releases list of US states they plan to attack

[dogmush]

So what is stopping people from doing it right now? If you read any internet forum, it appears (to many) the sky has fallen years ago. Yet, I don't see people voting from the roof tops.

WTF?

Terrorists engaging in an attack =/= political disagreement with a duly elected official

[lupinus]

So calling some one out on wanting/desiring terrorists to terrorize domestically is a dick move?

Is that like wishing for a tornado to hit a trailer park?

You didn't call him out on that, you essentially called him a pussy. So yes, dickish.

[Fitz]

Polite society.

Unless you're a mod who thinks someone is chest thumping.

Then it's ok to be a fuckface



BTW charby, wanting the Islamist aholes that are here to MAKE THEIR MOVE so we can commence with exterminating them is a pretty common sentiment.

Unless you think we should exterminate them before they do anything wrong?

Further, you don't really know dick-all about any of us.

Quit being such a prick. This isn't the first thread. If you want to be a garden variety ahole, maybe you should give up the mod status

You went with the whole tree of liberty stich.

I really did not expect this thread to go full retard like this. Just lock this down.

I'm more in the boat of I don't want any terrorist attacks going on here. The last couple terrorist attacks on our soil foreign and domestic, I lost someone I cared about. Had to go through the emotions of that just recently again with the 20th anniversary of Oklahoma City Bombing and my friend bringing up stories about his father and having his friends tell him things about his dad.

There are a lot of all talk no action people out there, everywhere. Online, real life, etc. Usually starts with "Well I'd do xyz". How about instead, "I am going to do xyz".

You don't know me either, I don't live in a little bubble of people with the same political beliefs. I have to interact with people of all talk and no action everyday.

Also I'm not a prick, smartass but not a prick.

Guess what? These attacks are going to continue until we stop allowing them to continue.

Better a piddling little shooting that gets stopped (like this one in Garland) than something larger.

As for you losing folks. I'm sorry to hear that. Doesn't make you special. At all.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the last bit. Interacting with people of varying views without being an ahole is kinda what's supposed to happen at this forum. It doesn't always.

But it damn sure should for mods.

They are going to happen whether you want them to or not.
ISIS claims they have 70-ish operators in the states.
Its better to bait them out and kill them before there are 70,000 of them.
This is 4th generation warfare- on our soil.
Its much better to draw them in and make them fight our tactics vs having them bombing public gatherings on their own terms.

I know, but more attacks usually means more loss of liberty for the common US citizen. i.e. Patriot Act, NFA Act, Gun Control Act of 68.

When we get ISIS under control, it will be another group, etc.

Then don't act like a prick. As others said attacks are going to happen whether you want them to or not. Whether you want them to or not. Disagree all you want but don't call someone out as apussy for no reason and then wonder why folks are calling you out for it.

If I was going to call someone a pussy, I would have used that term. I know that Boomhauer isn't a pussy, he is a fireman, pussies don't become firemen.

Telling someone they'll be the first to piss their pants is the same difference where I'm from. If you wanted to say we shouldn't invite it ya should have said so instead of making a personal attack.

From where I am from it is a joke, very common joke. So, is scream like a little girl.

Someone says, "I'm going to climb that water tower". Their friend replies, "you'd get 1/3 the way up and piss your pants."

So you've gone from half passed clarification why you were a dick, to it was just a joke?

Yet you've already justified/defended it as a serious point with the "chest-thumping" follow up remarks. Now you're parsing like a politician, and it isn't working.

[charby]

It was supposed to a funny smartass reply to what I perceived as a chest thumping internet commando response.

Justified enough?

If they are this easy to eliminate, simply by using Police RoE, there is no reason not to do it.
The Texas thing was a small, fairly well planned operation, I'm even more impressed that it was taken on by citizens rather than .gov- then again it is inevitable that citizens would get into ISIS' OODA loop before the federal government could (or would).

[Ron]

If they start blowing people up here in the states I suspect the Imams and leadership in mosques connected to the bombers will have to have heavy security.

There always seems to be an authority figure goading the explody types to rush into paradise with a bang.

If the government fails to protect the public some vigilantes may just hold the leadership of the bombers Mosque as culpable.

I just hope it doesn't turn into a wholesale attack on everything Muslim.

[lupinus]

I just hope it doesn't turn into a wholesale attack on everything Muslim.

Then let them distance themselves from it/police their own. Some mosque does the opposite they are just as culpable and I could care less.

They can take a few lessons from Christianity on how to respond to that.

Which century?

[Fitz]

Which century?

I'm talking present times. If this conversation is about to go into the old "Crusades LOL" direction, then it's a doomed conversation. If Muslims can't be civilized enough to avoid duplicating hundreds of years of strife before arriving at a somewhat civilized state, then they deserve any repercussions that come with that.

[Fitz]

In other words, barbarism shouldn't be a function of religious evolution. It's a direct reflection of the state of humanity. And I expect that Muslims should hold themselves, and those within their community, to MODERN standards, not falling back on being 600 years behind the times based on the foundation of their religion.
