Justifiable being defined as reasonable, proven to be right, viable.
Quote:So protestors who attack abortion clinics, reasonable, justifiable. Let's say some of them kill a doctor or bomb the clinic and risk being shot by police or jailed for life.They clearly seem to believe as much, don't they?
Quote:Muslims who protest against and kill cartoonists and other forms of freedom of speech that's justifiable?Again, they clearly seem to believe as much, don't they?
Quote:The risking of someone's life doesn't make the person risking their life correct.You;re trying to argue with me over whether or not they are right or wrong, whether or not you or I agree with them. That, Pablo...is dopey. What else is dopey, is imagining that these pat excuses you've given have any ability to address -why- those people believe or do what they believe or do, or whether or not what they believe or do has any justification. To you, it's just a bunch of agitators and nuts, bad people™ starting shit. Way to completely miss a serious problem with a silly suggestion...and way to maintain it in the face of your own inanity. Thankfully, we don't all conceptualize things in such a breathtakingly ignorant way...or we couldn't possibly come to a resolution on any issue around which protests become violent.
That's just dopey.
It's fairly simple to comprehend.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
