    It was exactly what I was looking for, now we can move foward ;) So, if you don't mind me asking, what is your definition of a terrorist?

    I'm glad you chose to read what I wrote for a change.

    As for your new question, save it for a rainy day. I know that game too. I've been doing this a long time now, I know the strategies ;)

    You might ask gworld to play, though!

    I missed your answer to my question in a reply that you made to someone else, can't blame me there.

    I didn't realize we were playing a game. I thought this was a discussion forum and that you would be interested in sharing your thoughts. I truly am curious as to how you define what constitutes being a terrorist.

    I think the queen is too upset about people laughing so doesn't want to play. Please don't go, I still want to laugh at you. :D:D:D

    Dude, one things.
    Don't quote me or expect a decent reply from me when you are calling names on someone else. I don't consider it a mature argument.

    I did. I've seen the "define a terrorist" strategy many times. Do you use it often? It's one of gworld's favorites when he's bashing America, but he hasn't used it in a while. That's why I said you'd be better off playing with gworld. I suspect you two have a lot more in common than you might have initially thought.

    I've seen no credible evidence to suggest you actually think. If you did, you would have answered why you want al qaida to take over Iraq.

    I am enjoying your cheerleading though. Or would you like to be called a "sissy chearleader?" I know you are partial to that one ;)

    It is a difficult question. I have tried t formulate an answer for myself that covers most situations but I will be interested to know what is your definition.

    Now the queen is really mad. Good to have you back anyway. I was thinking of going to a comedy club but looking at you trying to pretend that you are a man and know what you are talking about is much much funnier. Still laughing at you. :D:D:D

    It is not a strategy, I am just curious. You seem to use the word a lot and I just want to know how you define it. Have you given your definition before? If so, can you supply a link for me, or just let me know and I will do a search and see if I can find it.

    According to the queen of cheer leading group, anyone who doesn't agree with this administration or him is either a pro terrorist or a terrorist. ;)

    Well Gtech, it looks like you are unwilling to define "terrorist". As I am sure you have seen, I have been warned that you will at some point call me a "terrorist". I have no idea if you will or will not do so, but in the case you feel the urge at some point, please do me the favor of defining a terrorist first.

    I'm not sure anyone can give an exact definition of terrorist or terrorism.
    A loose definition can be - "A person who works on spreading terror by violence to achieve his goal, while disguised as a civilian non-combatant"

    I don't think anyone can give an "exact" definition either, but everyone is entitled to their "own" definition.

    It won't work since in many parts of Africa, south east Asia and even south America terrorist groups don't disguise themselves as civilian non-combatant and to the extend that they can afford even use uniforms. Then you have the problems with partisans. Were French partisans fighting against Nazi Germany terrorists? Your definition makes them a terrorist.

    It seems a little bit too Lose. :D

    I understand what you are saying but may be we can try to define a definition that can cover the majority of cases in real life.

    So whats your definition of terrorist/terrorism in that case?

    And actually there is a different between a militant and a terrorist.
