Yeah right, just what we need, a "basic human rights" lecture from
a homophobic bigot. You've shown your true colors here on roff and
when it comes to basic human rights you just don't get it.

You are a typical terrorist. Prepared to use any means in your power
to force your views on others, you lie, use propaganda, coerce,
threaten, and ridicule them, until they knuckle under or give up. It
is just as well you donīt have any real power, or any credibility left
on here. In the real world you would be very quickly eliminated if you
tried to behave in such a fashion. You only do it here because you can
get away with it with seeming impunity.

Just as one can not wage war on the Fortenberryīs of this world,
merely resist them to the last. One can not wage war on terror. Terror
is an emotion, an emotion which engenders panic.

You can resist the effects of terrorism, and avoid panic, by not
allowing yourself to be terrified by either terrorists or
politicians.

A hand full of terrorists is not a serious threat to any major
country. Panic as a result of terrorist actions is. The loss of civil
liberties initiated by politicians trying to gain greater control is.
Large panicked sections of the population is.

These things are all easily avoided by sensible people.

If you are against terrorism, as every civilised person must be, then
you must also be against torture, because torture is merely terrorism
on an individual.

People who torture others are terrorists by definition. They wish to
gain information or other things, maybe even pleasure, by terrifying
or coercing somebody into giving them what they want.

That is exactly what the terrorists want as well. Just like
Fortenberry.

Do not give it to them.
