Your statement is an example of the other extreme I'm talking about!
Passionate words on the internet = killing people.
Gotcha.

Gotcha.![]()
I've never equated the extremes with killing people. In fact - I'd say most people in the extremes on either side will never kill someone.
"States Rights" huh? Can you say "Code Word?"
.. is that with one extreme, you do have people killing. You do have people bombing. You do have people engaging in acts of terror. You do not have this on the other side of the issue at all.

However, the point of this thread is that with one extreme, you do have people killing. You do have people bombing. You do have people engaging in acts of terror. You do not have this on the other side of the issue at all.
What qualifies as violence?
The Weather Underground??![]()
And right away in this thread you have people immediately blaming entire segments of the population for this psycho's actions.
You're embarrassing yourself.
I can't speak for MM, but for me your just avoiding the issue. Here's a suggestion. YOU define what violence is in the context of this thread then give us an example or two of it.Nope. Sorry - you're wrong. He never used the phrase "corresponding level of violence". He just said violence - so me asking him to clarify what he actually meant is highly appropriate - because he very well may have meant "corresponding level of violence " or he may have meant "grabbing someone in a headlock and slamming them to the ground."
So MattusMaximus - what's your definition of violence?

Unfortunately, MattusMaximus, there has been some, but I'm too tired to search for better sources than those that come up quickly in google. I don't trust pro-life sites enough to use them as a source...sorry, been a long day. But it has happened. Mostly kicking and hitting, I think, but I seem to recall one knife brandishing. Again, extremists, as with the pro-life violence.
Don't be an idiot.
Of course I mean the same kind in regards to abortion extremists as outlined all through this thread and at this link:

You know, the good ol' standbys of domestic terrorism... bombing and shooting in an effort to intimidate.

Well, aside from the fact that this was several decades ago, they weren't involved in abortion rights one way or the other. So...no.
I never said they were very good at it but a pathetic attempt could be made to insinuate that they were attempting to be verrrrrrryyyyyyy late term abortionists.![]()

I addressed that earlier. But your attempt at deflection doesn't change the fact that the murders, terrorism, etc. are all coming from one side of the abortion debate.

IOW, stop weasling and start engaging.
