True, an answer to such a question should be much more detailed than “yes” or “no”.

That is not the same question at all. There is a rough spectrum between liberty and security: on the extreme end of liberty, you are free to do anything you want, including steal, rape, and murder without lawful consequence; on the extreme end of security, you are not free to do anything without consent of authority.
I don’t know about my setting a trap, either. You had said yourself, “Safety first,” which I took to mean, “safety takes precedence over liberty.” I merely asked the question so I could better understand your position concerning “safety first.”

I asked a question; if you think the premises are faulty, explain why (besides your nonsensical school-lunch analogy). Don’t say, “This is a trap, I refuse to answer,” since that does nothing to support your position. I was asking the question to better understand that position. I’m curious, though: what sort of “trap” was laying for you? If you said yes, that you would forfeit freedoms for security, what did you expect me to do?

Please, do not quote me out of context. You are being critical of others’ methods of debating, and I’m tired of your manipulations. Instead, deal with the point I was trying to make instead of switching around two or three of my words to blatantly mischaracterize my statements. When you say “Terrorist,” what sort of individuals do you immediately suspect? Muslims, Middle Easterners, socialists and their sympathizers? Should they all be rounded up?

Do you have more sources than the one found in meta-religion?

Yup, and just because Major Smith wrote an article for a website, doesn’t mean everything he says is absolute fact.

A fundamental part of debating is to establish definitions of key words in that debate. For that reason, I was asking to know your “personal definition of Terrorism.” What is it?

How do you know the FBI isn’t investigating and arresting as we speak?

Yeah… I’m aware of that. But you said that my flag could be seen as

What? You said that the flag could be seen as evidence of terrorist ties. I asked a question (NOTE:
I asked a question, I did not pose as a source or provide one) of where the group that carries this flag is identified as terrorist… you’ve failed to prove to me these ties. Therefore, your statement that this red and black flag is evidence of terrorist-ties is shallow and unfounded.

I agree that Soviet Communism was a failed system of government, and I would also say that is a false representation of the true values of Leftists.
The historical bloc of statist leftists define themselves in the struggle. They are the nationalist part essentially opposed to all organization of popular power, substituting it with false representations because they insist on preserving state power at all cost. Here we can see their filthy alliances opposed to all criticism of their principles and that, in fact, they are not leftists.

There are more sorts of “leftists” than the
self-identified leftists that oppress populations and maintain dictatorial powers, AND their sympathizers.

Social equality and justice are not just “leftist” terms. They are certainly “buzz words” though, but that does not mean they are not noble ideals. Leftists and Rightists just have different ideas of equality and justice. Check out Wikipedia for some definition of these supposedly undefined words.

I see. Did you know that Muslims believe in God? And that some so-called Leftists do as well?

Yep. Terrorism is certainly more serious, and that is why the top investigative agency in the country is dealing with the threat.

Could you describe to me your “military solution”? I understand you want a coast-to-coast round up, but
SPECIFY who should be included in this round up and what should precede and follow the event?
