i understand why they do it too, its not a dumb statement, its implications can be construed to be dumb, but why is it dumb to say you understand them? i fully understand why they would do it, doesnt mean i condone it, i think its a pointless waste of life acheiving nothing but more problems, but i understand why they think they have to do it.

I still think, anyone who straps explosives to their body and blows themselves up is not right in the head, and if that is the case...if you truely "understand" them, can you also be right in the head?
It is a philosophical question not a literal one... |

I find it sick that both these people glorify the deaths of other human beings If that guy is jailed, then that engine guy should be jailed aswell for murder is still a crime here in the netherlands

I think it's more interesting to discuss what would happen if people actually could get prosecuted for the nonsense they're spouting online, and what kind of implications this could have for Ironworks, for instance. [ 01-09-2003, 11:00 AM: Message edited by: Grojlach ]

indeed i can be right in the head [img]tongue.gif[/img]
suicide isnt the best way to go about it, but if your driven to the point where your family is raped and murdered , your lands are full of enemy soldiers who shouldnt be there and noone helps you, then i can understand why they would do it, just they are not foresighted enough to see its not helping anything, rather perpetuating it. I cannot fully understand their situation because im not living it, but i can get close because i think how i would react similarily, i just wouldnt blow myself up thats for sure not for any reason, it achieves nothing, plus im selfish enough that even if i knew me dying would save the entire world i still wouldnt do it [img]tongue.gif[/img] , thats self-preservation for ya. so yes im philosophically right in the head, only way to fully understand it though is if i lived it and thankfully im not [img]smile.gif[/img] |

Is there a difference between spouting nonsense online, or in newspapers, or on tv?

Groj, i think she took her words back after all the critics she got from the homefront. I saw her on TV, crying and saying she could understand why they were doing it. And i also think they should confiscate her diplomatic papers, cause she sure as hell isn't representing our country abroad. She also wanted to visit Israel, but they won't allow her entrance, and i can completely understand that.

When you're spouting nonsense online currently, the worst thing that could happen is an ip-ban, or your site being taken offline. But you won't make any headline appearances, you're still as anonymous as you want yourself to be. There is hardly any censorship on the Internet at the moment, which has it's positive and negative implications. This case could be a step in the direction of a more censored Internet (even though it's practically impossible to censor the Internet 100%, of course).
