Beltway sniper to be executed at 9pm

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Because specific words have context-dependent meanings.

Wouldn't it be ok to assume that said group (homos and women) in that particular town would be terrorized and fear for their lives if said serial killer were still on the loose?

Card again? Trump...

Then why use the word "serial killer" at all. Surely its superfluous.

Because it indicates a chronology in the killings and a series and a system. This is but one type of terrorist.

You have to hand it to Joe, once he is set on a course, there is no deflecting him off it, no matter what dodgy path it leads him down. It's like watching one of those clockwork toys

It doesn't take much to wind him up either, really very environmentally friendly.

Difference between a criminal and a terrorist? Money and motivations.

The DC sniper had demands for money which makes him a mere criminal. His targets were targets of opportunity.

Hasan is a terrorist in that his targets were soldiers and Hasan left a trail of Islamic radicalism just surely as a slug leaves a trail of slime behind.

You never refute what I say. Only when I make obvious mistakes such as missing something in a post, or etc... Do you pounce on me. Never the substance. "but there is no substance in your posts *whine*"

And what if a terrorist pays a criminal? Is the criminal still just a criminal?

Then clearly there is no practical difference between Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Major Hassan and Osama Bin Laden.

There isn't any substance Joe - you either resort to cookie cutter preconceptions that badly misrepresent people's opinions, or you act like one of those pull string toys, parroting the half a dozen stock phrases that have been programmed into you.

Though I am saddened by the loss of life which occurred as a direct result of the sniper's actions, I don't believe in celebrating anyone's death.

I do think the death penalty is wrong.

Before the ones who don't know me jump on me, I'm also against abortion.

Refute what? You don't say anything that pertains to anything that I write. I just find you comic, this is not a secret.

Bingo!

It's is similar to the straw-man argument of 'my interpretation of stats' apparently being wrong. Why? In reality, simply because they disagree with them. That is, refuse to accept them.

No Boo. In reality its because you don't develop your opinion from the statistics, rather you cherry pick things to fit your preconceived ideas.

BY thinks his interpretation of statistics should be taken seriously. Plus ca change.
