| They needn't live up to what spoiled little wankers, (who were never in any danger of anything), passing judgement four generations later . You were not there. The BBC types who did the piece weren't either. How dare you or they impose your morality on those events after removing them totally from ... |

Jabberwalker Jabberwalker: 21st century snots are going to judge 20th century men who did what was necessary to do. Those "judges" must be pretty impressed with themselves.
You seem to be smug enough about your own views for everyone. |

I said I wasn't going to go into the depth of the argument.
Again, everyone must live with what they did, while everyone else will judge them for what they did. |

| That's what the law says. Doesn't mention cultural reasons. Police have alluded to these nut having an agenda, just not religious. But as you say, way to early to decide, except that Peter McKay already has. Since it doesn't suit the Reformacon agenda of "be afraid, be very afraid," it ne... |

More information is needed before I'd make comment on this.

For the question of what is terrorism, I'd say terrorism is the use of force or the threat of force, to cause fear to achieve some political, religious or ideological goal. |

| I don't get the argument about the 50%. Because 50% of the aircrew were killed by the enemy, that justifies going after civilians? Seems like a red herring. I'm not sure either but the Daily Mail seemed to think it was important enough to state. The quoted objections by the DM to what the BBC aired... |

| I still don't think much of your stance. My stance is that so long as the BBC wasn't lying about the facts then they are within their mandate. The BBC is propaganda but then so is any media company I can think of. I could write a few thousand words going into depth and detail on the morals and ethi... |

Jabberwalker Jabberwalker: If you want to be believed, I suggest you don't throw around wild statistics like "50%".
Yeah I'll look into that. |

Gunnair Gunnair: I don't scientists would agree that plastic is mostly harmless either.
Contrasting it is meaningless as well; it's also mostly harmless compared to a 500 meter sized meteor strike.
Sure whatever, I'm sure you're 100% correct.
Fucking APS. |

Jabberwalker Jabberwalker: "Facts" out of context ... thus is the nature of propaganda.
Does the context of bomber command having 50% casualties make taking vengeance on a civilian population any different? |

Well I didn't say harmless now did I? I said mostly harmless and then contrasted it again toxic waste. |

BartSimpson BartSimpson: I've created my own currency. It's indexed to lead so when I get a call from some scammer pretending to be a collection agency I can pay them with it. 
You could have index it against your labour. |
