Terrorist!

Ellow! :D. Okay, whilst perusing the debate forum I read 'The Panda's' challenge to clearly define what a terrorist or terrorism is. I was just interested in what everyone thinks a terrorist/terrorist act/ terrorism actually is...because the term seems to be thrown around quite loosely.
 
im not excatly sure wat the definition is but i think a terrorist is someone who goes to another country with only the intent of causing terror and disturbances

So the US could be considered terrorists because of the Vietnam War? We went in, we blew stuff up, etc. etc.

Also for the war in Iraq.

Yeah, Vietnam was a mistake.

And somehow that mistake was repeated again with Iraq.

We(I live in the US) could be seen as terrorists by many, and many US citizens dont agree with the war or the route Bush has taken with 9/11.
 
maybe it's because of all those wars and conflicts america had this century that
made those terrorists hold a grudge against you guys, fighting for freedom can
also create a mess you know, a bullet or grenade won't stop killing because an innocent person is in front of it.
 
Terrorism, is the act of scaring a nation into thinking their country will be taken over or destroyed.

That's what I beleive ^^

Wikipedia's probably the last thing you want to arm yourself with against The_Panda.

In my opinion, terrorism is using violence to coerce a political system a certain way, but more using the fear and uncertainty of the attacks, rather than the actual damage or danger of them, to do so.

Wrong. Terrorists don't have to be foreign. Terrorists strike on all fronts: enviormental and animal rights radicals, "moral issues" terrorists, underground anarchist groups, religous terrorists, insurgents attempting to use terror to overthrow governments, radicals fighting for sovreignty ect.
 
I don't have a great definition... There's not a lot of time spent dealing with terrorism at my house, really, unless you count a backed-up toilet with a bad attitude.

Terrorist = anybody whose main objective is causing fear, harm, or unrest.

Yeah, that's pretty vague, or placid for such a charged word these days.

Iran sees US government agencies like the FBI and CIA as terrorist groups, and maybe the US government itself, I don't remember. And personally I don't blame them.

That is kind of interesting seeing how the FBI is more of a Investigative Organization that deals more in domestic situations. But hey I guess Iran would know what a terrorist organization is seeing how they fund them, and actually have their Revolutionary Guard train them.

Terrorism is the act of George Bush being elected president.

More seriously, Terrorism is basically what happened on 9/11. Stuff like that.

Anyways, Terrorism is when you go to another country and disturb the peace.

Well, I'll be waiting for the USA to come and declare war on Australia then, since we have troops disturbing the peace in Iraq and all...

(the joke being, of course, that we were asked to go)
 
Terrorism = scaring/proving a point/intimidating people with violence and fear tactics. That's what I think.

Facetious a terrorist? What's he doing? Killing people by insulting them?
