Are you talking about war or terrorist attacks? Either or. Although if you're being occupied that qualifies as a war. Terrorism is primarily focused on civilians and most of the Palestinian terrorist attacks have been against civilians, so I don't think you mean 'either or' :P That's true - the definition of terrorism focuses mostly on innocent civilians. In that regard, no, it's never morally justified. But the term "suicide bomber" is often synonymous with terrorism when it simply isn't the case. As long as it's a military target during war terms, it's morally justifiable.

Killing innocents is always wrong, yes. But there is nothing wrong with militant strikes against an occupying force when the military is the primary target.

Indeed, he is correct. Furthermore, any attacks on Israeli soldiers are entirely legitimate, just as any Taliban attacks on NATO forces are legitimate, just as Libyan attacks on NATO forces are legitimate. Of course, being a pacifist myself I wouldn't attack those soldiers if I were a Palestinian; but I know not everyone subscribes to my call to non-violence. So terrorism by someone in your own country= unacceptable Terrorism by someone else= morally acceptable Complete misinterpretation. More like terrorism against a state occupying your homeland, committing injustices against your people, etc. etc. = acceptable Terrorism against random people = unacceptable This. There's an enormous difference between resistance against an occupying force and unprovoked slaughter of innocents. Now, you can make a debate as to whether or not israel has a legitimate reason for occupation - but it is occupation. No if's, and's or but's about it.

Can't let yourself do that - there will always be somebody better and somebody worse. It matters what you do, not what anyone else does.

Hi, I've merged your two topics as they appear to be for the same thing. Cheers. I've also moved to to the appropriate forum.
-
Interesting. I'll see what I can think of.

:thumbup: to Jennifer Aniston.

I dunno, Das pretty well makes bank. I think he could afford you. How do you know what das makes?

Good job Aesta!

But then the last post of the old page would be the first post of the new page, needing the new last post on the old page to be the first post on the new page...

Just watched Source Code. I had been expecting (based on the previews) for it to be awful, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was actually quite good. 4/5
-
Really? It should account for all those scenarios if you're the one giving the first box. If it gives itself the first box it won't work...but all of the others should work.
-
Because nobody ever drinks beer, right? I like Emma as much as anyone but I agree we've probably exhausted the topic for now...

I'll buy your car. You'll ship it to Canada, right?
-
Good luck all.
-
Yeah that's where I thought it would. Actually, I think I just figured out what did it. Try with the new code?
-
No I understand - it does it for me too (albeit very rarely). I couldn't trace the origin of the bug so I just left it. I am curious as to the exact location: left, right, above, below the board? That's next on the to do list if I cbf. But it's a lot of work...

Well I was bored over the past week so I spend a little while creating this game using html5 canavas. The basic objective of the game is to make boxes by drawing lines. You can play against the computer. In terms of the AI, the computer is pretty stupid. It'll take boxes you give it but other than that it basically just draws random lines. Let me know what you think/how can I improve it?

Well, I do mean that. Interracial breeding is so common now (and continues to be) that it's bound to happen gradually over time.
-
I see. Well my apologizes for bad interpretation. I must say that I think, in the future maybe 500-1000 years, the current interpretation of "culture" will be nonexistent. The world gets smaller every day, and more and more cultures mix that I think eventually we'll all just be one colour, kind of a global culture. Not necessarily a bad thing - but that's what I think we're on the road to.
-
Yeah. It's obviously not the same for everyone.
-
Agreed then.
-
I don't understand what you're getting at?

No one's trying to say that sex is bad - but that like everything else it's appropriate in moderation. I think that the benefits of waiting until you're further into a relationship are good; and there are no disadvantages(that I've seen) so restricting it can be beneficial.
