i propose that we ban resoultions referring to "terrorism" from here on out... here is an excerpt from one:

Osama Binladen is a terrorist leader and should be considered a human kind of cancer. But my friends, there is a way to cure that sort of cancer, guns...
We need more guns!!!!
The military has enough, but the police and civilians don't have enough.

If this proposal works, a law will be entacted which allows civilians to have at least one hand gun and five anti- tank missiles which should only be used if a terrorist is located.

now i am an anarchist and pacifist (outside of the game) and i am familiar with countries like sweden where armed citizenry replaces a standing army... even as a gun-hating pacifist, i don't see it as such a bad idea. but the CONSTANT USE OF TERRORISM as justification or even subject matter in UN resolutions is ridiculous. get some new material, people. please? its dead. dead. its also 330 am here. sorry if this is jumbled.

:arrow: i agree on the premiss that who is to judge terrorism. from the point of view of many, this is simply an action in political reform. Passing resoultions reguarding this may allinate certin states, such as islamic or jewish ones. In the name of justice and sencabulity I give my full fleged support to taxamerika on this issue.

YOU NO WHAT!!!!! I MADE THIS TOPIC FRIST AND ITS MINE NO ONE ANWSERED MINE I DESEVER THE CREDIT!

Terrorism ain't so bad really. At least it shows that people are getting involved in politics. Less apathy! More fireworks!

No it's showes ignorance. If I hear one more justification for war as "terrorisim" I'm going to blow something up.

Does Osama Binladen exist here?

One name is as good as another. I think it is counter productive to even try to ban terrorism. It causes more problems than it is worth.

You know that terrorists are not visibly different from civilians right? So what you're planning then, is to give every single terrorist five anti-tank missiles and a handgun. Ingenious.
Who would stop these people from using the weapons in other circumstances as well as when a terrorist is located.
So now you're going to train everyone in how to use anti-tank weaponry. How's that going to be achieved.
What do you need anti-tank missiles for - they're indiscriminate and in urban areas will inevitably end up killing civilians. Besides, it's not like terrorists drive around in tanks. (Well not in the West at least).
