"TERRORIST"

[Ry]

Do you think The word "terrorist" is being overly used and bastardized? Everytime something crazy happens, its called an act of terror. I think this is bad, we are becoming more and more de-sensitized to violence on a daily basis. Now the word "terror" doesnt carry the weight which it should. It is important to know the difference between a terrorist act, and one that is just fucked up and violent.

Terrorist act:
World Trade Center Bombing and Planes being flown into WTC.
US Embassy car bombed
Planes being Hi-jacked

Not a Terrorist Act:
school shootings
Gunman in LAX

A terrorist cut me off on the highway.

Yes I do. Terrorism is being overly exerted, especially in the media. I couldnt believe that up until July 4th, the government was saying "watch out, there will be a terrorist attack for the holiday weekend," And then an Egyptian man smokes two people, stabs a couple more in a Los Angeles airport, is shot and killed, and now they want us to believe that this is just another isolated incident not associated with the "War on Terror." It's like, if I were a wooden-head dummy named Joe Donuthead, I'd righteously buy that bit. But unfortunately, I am an educated black man in Americca, and smarter than the average square!
