Took a philosophy class this semester. (BORE)
But we did a two week study on terrorism and war, and whether or not they were morally acceptable practices. During the study we discussed Just War Theory, and the underlying principles of Jus as Bellum (The Right to go to War) and Jus ad Bello (Practices during war). I tend to not see many flaws in Just War Theory, but for those of you who are pacifist, you can check out Anti-War Pacifism and all that jazz.
Link for those interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_War
Basically if you can justify your actions, whether they are predatory, vengeful, moralistic, religious, or political, while adhering to the Just War Theory, then terrorism is fine. Most people believe that there is NEVER a moral form of terrorism as the negative right to life overrides your positive right to fight for your rights, beliefs, or whatever. (Look up Haig Khatchadourian for more on this (sp?))
I believe that occasionally terrorism is called for and needed in revolutionary situations, but in the case of this story, terrorism is not called for and therefore they should be punished. There were multiple other mediums they could have conveyed their message, and resorting to violence was not a last resort. That being said, this does not adhere to Just War Theory and should not be carried out.
Definition of terrorism: the use of violence, or threat of violence against unarmed innocents in order to gain political, religious, or predatory, goals through instilling fear.

Kroger brand ramen MMMMMMM
You do realize that Kroger doesn’t actually make the ramen…
I imagine Kroger as some Norse God figure who can conjure the foods I desire for a reasonable price.

dont sell our jobs, buy usa made only products guys.
Kroger is an American brand, and I only buy Kroger brand, therefore I don’t sell our jobs.
When I personally believe that “muslim” terrorist are NOT terrorist, then how can I believe “christian” terrorist are terrorist?

I have a 40in Vizio Plama for the past 2 years. It’s legit, just the colors are wonkey when you first get it and you need to play around some. Haven’t had any issues, and my roommates tend to leave it on constantly so it’s good.

Well, forty days later and I did not have fast food once.
It was surprisingly harder than I expected. There were so many times where we were out and needed to eat and I had to pass on the fast food slowly caving inside.
I’m surprised to not see Dicey on yet.
If Baylor wins, I win the WCU group.

Toranky’s almost story makes me want to reminisce
My grandmother, back in 1996, lived down in South Georgia and we would visit her every summer or two. The awesome thing about mama townsend was that she had a HUGE yard and all like 7 of her cats lived around the property. (Mind you only one cat was cool enough to be an indoor cat lol) So one year one of the cats had kittens right before our family arrived and I just remember playing with 8 little kittens at once and it being the happiest moment at year.
i kept all my gushing to a minimum I could have gone on and on, but i shall not lol
i also broke my arm twice that year so playing with kittens vs broken arm recovery mind you
I’m sorry but this has to be the worst idea for a movie. Dilbert failed. Garfield failed.
That *edited*ing cartoon isn’t even multi-paneled. ONE PANEL A DAY!
How the hell are they going to get a story out of that. -.-
