Greenpeace needs to be dissolved

Yes, sometimes destruction of property is done through violent means. The example I used previously was bombing with Molotov Cocktails. That's a violent act. And yes, the goal of terrorism is to bring about a change in government policy.

You have to have both (1) a violent act and (2) designed to bring about a change in government policy to come close to meeting the definition of terrorism. It isn't enough to say that any person who violates the law to bring about a change in government policy is a terrorist. You're defining terrorism down to meaninglessness.

The total and complete DESTRUCTION of property is not violent to you? Because the MEANS of destruction you find comical?

You are a complete tool.

so, to you someone has to DIE in order for it to be terrorism? My how the definition is ever evolving among the far left apologists. I will grant that it is opinion on whether it is simply vandalism vs. terrorism, but the act fits both descriptions.



So, to you, government scientists studying GM Wheat to see if it can be used to FEED people are executioners?

ROFLMAO.... you are such a hack.


You are quite the drama queen. When party A says 'Party B came in and destroyed our research' and party B says 'we sure did'.... there is no gospel moron.... BOTH parties agree with what happened. Regardless of what Greenpeace 'says'....their actions are ILLEGAL. Or do you support a system where any party that disagrees with another has the right to go in and destroy someone else's property?

Maybe Spock can use the Vulcan mind meld to communicate with the wheat...it worked with the 'Horta'...

One of the funniest episodes ever, consequently it was the one I thought of watching the Councilor on Star Trek the Next Generation's first episode as she said, "I feel.... pain!" when she was trying to psychically link with an alien. It was the very same line that Spock said when he melded with the rock...

Terrorism involves the use of violence (or threat of violence at the very least). I do not think taking weed-whackers to wheat is as act of violence.

The act of forcibly intruding on to property is violence enough. This act would warrant that use of deadly force on a military base, regardless of whether or not the intruder intended to physically harm anyone.

OK, so you think scaling a fence and running a weed-whacker is a violent crime. I disagree.

Not just me, the entire government of the United States, as well as several international organizations. B&E is considered a violent crime.

Destroying (and they didn't destroy one) a fence on government property and cutting down plants on government property are misdemeanors. They aren't violent crimes.

ROFLMAO... you can continue to equate this with 'mowing a yard', but that is NOT what was done. There was a government investment in that crop, it wasn't mere grass or wheat... it was a RESEARCH project that was funded by the tax payers. You are desperately trying to make light of it because you know it is far more than you want to admit.

If I am your neighbor and I walk into your home while you are gone and destroy everything you own with a sledge hammer.... is that just a misdemeanor? Is that violent? Would you be afraid of what I might do next?

I'm not making light of anything. I am accurately describing what the activists did. They scaled a fence and cut down plants with weed-whackers. I know that these were very expensive and very important plants, but that is all that they did. They should be punished for the crimes they have committed, but they aren't "terrorists" and they didn't commit acts of terrorism.

Why don't we keep the analogy closer to the facts? Let's say I have prize-winning tomato plants in my back garden and you climb my fence and chop them down. You have not committed a violent crime.
