Fuck the War on Terror.

[kentuck]

And fuck those chicken shits that are willing to keep it going for the rest of our lives.

And fuck those lily-livered cowards that are willing to give away everything in the name of safety and security.

Fuck 'em.

They piss me off.

[Comrade Grumpy]

1. Preach, brother!

[polichick]

2. And fuck the war on drugs while we're at it!

[Junkdrawer]

3. It may be replaced with Cold War II soon...

Possibly Hot War III....

I have a hard time believing the American Imperialists will go gently into that good night.

[xiamiam]

4. yep Kentuck, a war on a noun without borders..never ending and fueled by a thirst for profit

its painful to even think about. When I heard obamas surge speech in 2009, and that word over and over, I knew. I watched it right here on du and it was a pivotal moment for me. I knew to the core of my being that my hope for change was a lie. I sat here with my jaw dropped to the floor knowing I had been had and that terror terror terror would be a forever reason to wreak havoc and profit. Since then our number one industry is defense. It breaks my heart.

[railsback]

5. Ok, you talked me into it

I just made all the bad people disappear with a wave of my magic wand. Religion is gone. Hackers have been wiped out. No one has any ill will against opposing views. Money is no longer an issue. No need for security anymore because now we're all just one, big happy family.

Boy, that was easy. Don't know why I didn't do this earlier.

[kentuck]

6. I am sure they thank you for your endorsement.

They have now changed their minds because you love it like banana pudding.

[morningfog]

7. Interesting you draw hackers into the "war on terror."

[railsback]

10. I didn't know hackers were specific to only a certain amount of activity

Its like saying guns are only owned by bad people.

[morningfog]

17. You are the one who suggested that wiping out hackers would need to be

done before the war on terror can be called over. It's your claim, your words. Did you not mean to suggest that hackers are terrorists?

[railsback]

18. Interesting

Left calls out Right for flying off the handle.. while flying off the handle.

[morningfog]

21. Wait. You're "Right"?

You aren't making much sense.

[railsback]

25. This is why the Snowden train is off the tracks

The Left can't think clearly, clouded by assumptions.

[ForeignandDomestic]

13. You see...

that's the brilliance about The War on the Noun, it's ever expanding and all encompassing and never-ending you see because there's always bad people out there you know, and they can anywhere and under any rock!

You have to give up some freedoms to keep you safe from people who hate your freedoms!

[railsback]

20. Yes, I suppose we could all be Gomer Pyles

and assume that hacking is specific only to a certain breed, and there's absolutely no reason to even ponder the possibilities that viruses can be used to wipe out entire networks, or steal gigs of private data. How can people be so stupid to even consider such things? Its never happened before, right?

Yes, seems the BEST option is to go full Libertarian, man! End authority. End the rule of Law. End oversight. All burdening. ALL robbing us of our 'freedoms'. Only then can we be free… to die under the thumbs of the impending oligarchy, who don't have to answer to ANYBODY.

[morningfog]

22. So, you are saying that hackers can committ acts of terrorism through hacking?

[railsback]

24. LoL.

You assume 'terrorists' do nothing but commit 'acts of terror'.

[morningfog]

28. You assume that every activity a "terrorist" may engage in needs to be halted

before we can end the war on terror.

[railsback]

43. You're doing all the assuming here.

Not me.

[Romulus Quirinus]

23. "that viruses can be used to wipe out entire networks"

I can assure you that this is highly unlikely. :3

[dawg]

8. I refuse to fuck the War on Terror.

I don't love her, and she isn't even my type.

[Lizzie Poppet]

9. K&R

You're many times more likely to be killed by a cop in this country than a terrorist.

[kentuck]

11. Just guessing but I would bet...

More people have been killed by tasers in the last ten years than by terrorists.

[Cleita]

16. Or nuts with guns who never should have been allowed to own them.

We need a war on the NRA. It will save more lives than terrorists will take.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. And, fuck the PR twirp who named it.

[davidn3600]

14. It's about money

War on terror (just like the war on drugs) is not about winning, it's about maintaining a perpetual war that has no end and keeps the money flowing.

[Cleita]

15. Your outrage is justified.

I hope for a better future. Maybe we have reached a tipping point with all the lies and ugliness and things will change for the better.

[Catherina]

19. And fuck everyone who's profiting from it

I hope Karma will be fast and hard on the people who perpetuate this evil.

[Lint Head]

26. K&R. There IS NO war on Terror. Terror is a tactic not an enemy.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

34. A claimed war against Terror can never end because Terror cannot surrender. Endless MIC profits.

[friendlyFRIEND]

27. +1. Take a one-off tragedy and turn it into multiple lifetimes of

state surveillance that would make STASI and KGB proud.

[Solly Mack]

29. I was at that point back in 2001.

Still there.

[handmade34]

30. couldn't have

said it better myself

[polichick]

31. All our fake "wars" are about money...

Terror. Drugs. Whatever.

If some bought politician waves a flag and uses the word "war" you can count on millions of dumbass Americans to chant "USA! USA!"

[PDJane]

32. Wow. Most of these posts remind me of a bunch of kids making faces and verbally sniping.

Not what I would consider reasoned debate....

[kentuck]

35. It's just that...

...some people are so stupid you have to hit them on the side of the head to wake them up...

on edit: not literally --- meant to say "hit them up side the head with a cast iron skillet --

[Amonester]

46. Oh, now you're advocating using violence to get what you want?

And You get to decide who's stupid enough to get the shaft?

Psychological projecting much?

[Egalitarian Thug]

33. Instead of putting the fuckers in jail and taking all their money in the '30s as any sane people

would, we let their cohorts cover for them and preserve the kleptocracy.

[Initech]

36. Borat had it right: it's a war of terror, not a war on terror.

Just like the war on drugs, it doesn't clean up existing problems, it only creates new ones. The only difference is that the oligarchs get to profit off it.

[Harmony Blue]

37. So sad isn't it?

[Initech]

44. Love the looks of the faces on those people afterward.

[kentuck]

38. That is a more true statement than anything the government has said about the war on terror.

A lot of people are getting very wealthy and it has been almost 12 years since 9/11. Many more have died from gun violence and police tasers than from acts of terror.

[Initech]

45. Like I keep saying:

I fear a nut with a semi automatic rifle in a public setting far more than I fear anything al Qaeda could ever dream of. That to me is true terror when you can't trust the person sitting next to you in a public place. And of course our government thinks protecting the second amendment is far more important than the rest of them, especially that pesky fourth one.

[cali]

39. I'm so weary of the terror, terror, terror shit.

[usGovOwesUs3Trillion]

40. It is a recipe for PERMANENT WAR just what MIC has always wanted

Since the end of WWII.

The Internet while helping the totalitarians spy, will at the same time help us resist these totalitarian war mongers.

These freaks piss me off too!

[kentuck]

41. This is even better than the Cold War...

Because it will never collapse like the Soviet Union did... There will always be a bad guy willing to commit a terrorist act somewhere in the world.

[usGovOwesUs3Trillion]

42. Exactly.

A war on a tactic, one as old as time no less, garuntees that.
