Hey, you're the bozo who was proposing McVeigh was just an aggrieved citizen motivated by injustice... motivated into blowing up a building with children in it.

But hey, if you can live with your relativism that's nice. However, I won't be too fussed about your verdict on my character. In fact, I might wear it as a badge. Thanks for reminding me.

It was an example Kid, but the fact remains the government does what it wants with the economy regardless of what I think so it is illogical to say I'm responsible. It doesn't matter if I benefit, it's done without my permission.

I'm sure you would like to benefit even more. That would only increase your responsibility for the actions of the govt. Follow the money.

Every documentary I've seen on the subject said he was pissed off at the government for Waco and Ruby Ridge. That doesn't mean they or I supported him or his actions. I see you're right back to accusing me of supporting terrorists. I live in Topeka if you're ever in the area, I want to see you laugh.

Me too, where did I apologise for McVeigh. According to you I think he's a hero or something. I asked you before for the quote and what I got was "pfft". Yup, you accused me of supporting or apolgising for terrorists and when I asked for a quote "pfft" was what you came up with. Scum...

You must have seen how lame that was because you then went searching for a quote you could twist around. Why? Because you are scum...

Here is what you found:

quote:
Because Tim McVeigh blew that building up because of injustices he saw...injustices millions saw or learned about. He wasn't a loon, he was mad as hell at the government.


This was your proof I supported McVeigh. What part of that is false? He was a loon? Maybe, but we do know he was mad as hell at the government and what happened at Waco and Ruby Ridge is what motivated him. Millions of Americans were mad as hell. He just went over the line, the rest of us didn't. Pointing out cause and effect is not the same as justifying either or both...

Oh, one more thing, you were accusing me of apologising for McVeigh BEFORE I said that. So find an earlier quote, scum.

Then you topped it all off with this piece of BS:

quote:
Relax, Berz. I was looking for a fight and you gave it to me. Have to grant that you are a game duck.

I do think you are looking a little hard for justifications for something I find unjustifiable though. In the mean time, it seems I have an opportunity to Canuck the thread, so thanks.

Read my post, I said you gave that quote as your "proof". I know you ain't too keen on cause and effect but in that thread I was running down the sequence of events that led up to Okla City starting with Reagan's militarisation of law enforcement in the name of the drug war. It was this militarisation that led to the heavy handed tactics at Waco and Ruby Ridge followed by McVeigh and Okla City. Cause and effect, cause and effect... Now we see 9/11 and people with your grasp of cause and effect are acting like the saintly US discovered the Muslim world in the 1990s and they just cant stand us being "free". We keep accepting this BS and we will be attacked again. Even our leaders know why we got attacked and they are trying damn hard to smooth over the rough edges of US foreign policy.

You didn't offer an honest opinion to refute what I said, you started playing Joe McCarthy with "you support the enemy" blah blah blah.

Bullshit. At the time you let loose with your McVeigh the Patriot bit, I was still trying to be conciliatory. That's why I said

Forgive me, but it sounds as if you are making excuses somewhat like an apologist would.

There may be some cause that underlies the motive, but the execution is all wrong. Right?


From there you carried on. I started treating you like the terrorist sucking scum that you apparently are being earnest in wanting to be.

So be it.

Money is just the medium we use for value, if there was no government printing paper we'd be using something else - like gold, silver, whatever. But we're getting off the subject, politicians use the threat of force to interfere in the marketplace to obtain money. That makes my mugger analogy valid. Why are we to blame for how they spend the money they take from us?

But that isn't why he invaded other countries. So your argument doesn't help identify cause and effect.

quote:
What do you make of that, Berz? Would you think you were reading excuses for the inexcusable?


Nope, I'd look at the context before jumping to conclusions - you jump first and then look for "proof" to justify the leap. If we are discussing the cause and effect that led to Hitler we may cite the Treaty of Versailles.

quote:
How does being mad at A justify or excuse murdering B and C through Z?


It doesn't. Where did I say otherwise? "Pfft"?

quote:
I'm really curious. It seems that many terrorists would love it if people 'understood' their need to murder for their cause. Oops, I guess they already have you.


If understanding "their cause" will save lives in the future, why do you object? If someone wants to kill me I want to know why. If I find out they want to kill me because I'm "free", tough. If they want to kill me because my leaders have been screwing with them and trying to keep it secret, I want to know.

Are you inside McVeigh's head? Do you know he was some noble person? How do you know he wasn't just a whack job who used RR and Waco as an excuse?

Here's the short course, Berz. Neither you nor McVeigh get to decide that your cause is worth snuffing 1000 other people.

I think this ties in rather nicely with the topic that Aggy was spanking you with.

I didn't demand that we quote each other, I was already quoting you. You accused me of apologising for McVeigh and I asked you to quote me. You came up with "pfft". Then you offered your "interpretation" of a a quote that came AFTER you accused me of apologising for McVeigh. Unfortunately for you, the quote said nothing about a moral justification for anyone. If I was supporting McVeigh why didn't you find any justification for what he did in that quote? Because I was identifying cause and effect, not moral justification. But since what I wrote doesn't help support your accusation, you have to spin the quote.

quote:
I find your method of debate to be little better than 6 year-olds on a play ground. Go figure I refused your demands to follow suit.


Yeah, go figure. Make an accusation and support it with "pfft". You're so mature...

quote:
When it was important, I quoted you, and may you choke on it for a long time.


It wasn't important before? No, you made the accusation on the first page and couldn't quote me to support it. So you twisted a later quote to justify your earlier accusation after the fact. You jumped to a conclusion and then looked for proof later to justify the leap. That means you have a motive to "interpret" anything I said later to justify jumping to your conclusion, i.e., you have a motive to ignore what I wrote and the context. Choke on that...

And you say I have a fixation? I'm not the one following you around in these threads.

I watched interviews with his family and friends who knew how he reacted to Waco and Ruby Ridge. I trust them before trusting you... And who said he was noble? Btw, he wasn't alone. Terry Nichols helped him, did they just happen to share the same mental disorder?
