Getting our terms straight

2010-05-20 00:02:57.229201+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

When a whackjob takes some fireworks and lights them on fire in his SUV, it's "terrorism", when someone actually explodes a pipe bomb to damage a mosque with 60 people inside, it's "a possible hate crime". Just so we're clear on terms.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
