If You Were a Terrorist Who Would you Terrorize

This is quite simple: if one day you decided to become a terrorist, for what reasons who you do so. Furthermore, who, or what group would you choose to inflict this terror upon. I am not defining "terrorism," I would like you to come up with your own interpretation.

Is this a question in order to fill the terror watch lists with ATS members?

Well, I'd really like to answer your question but I fear being black balled by my Government. I don't wish to be put on any Watch list soon. So I'll keep my thoughts close to my chest and hope one day, good prevails over bad.

Take care.

Peace N love.

No, I'm just curious. If anyone gets a visit from the feds for anything they post here, just tell them I instigated the whole thing. Besides, according to the Patriot Act, everyone here could be classified as a "terrorist."

That's entrapment Anyway does the patriot act apply to this English boy? If not, not to worry. We've got plenty of our own laws here to keep us in check.

Keep in mind that terrorism does not require violence; only scare tactics are needed. So maybe we can rephrase the question as: who would you like to invoke fear into so that they may succumb to you wishes?

So, You're asking me who I would kill if I ever decided to become a mass murderer.

I'm sorry but thats nuts.

I could never willingly become a monster of such proportion.

I would become a powerful Neo Conservative American Politician and begin to destroy the reputation, freedom, and economy of the United States.

I would do this by coordinating, protecting, and covertly funding a Pearl Harbor style attack on American Soil.

I would then push for legislation that effectively destroys checks and balances of governmental power to shift heavily towards the executive branch. I would then start an endless war against terrorism (he-he-he) thus draining the national treasure into the military industrial complex.

I'm sure you can figure out the rest from there...

I said that terrorism DOES NOT require violence.

If this thread isn't a testament to how our country has become, I don't know what is.

Since when have we become scared of practicing our rights of free speech by answering a simple question? Oh yeah...

Sad though. Truly sad.

'THEY' have truly won.

That's a simple answer to a simple question.

I would become a and the following individuals.

George

Dick

Rice

Donald

Oil Corporation

Petroleum



Of course, the list will have to be de-classified, before being redacted again, distributed after being censored, and then instructions of how to be believed as well as how it should be interpreted, as well as that you should only believe certain parts in a certain pre-determind order.



I am of course joking about this post, as I would never do any such thing.

A bully is a terrorist, and I am a bully-buster, plain and simple.

If there's one category of people I would be tempted to 'terrorize' (non-violently) it would be those whom Kurt Vonnegut called 'Psychopathic Personalities':

...during the 1920s, when it was becoming ever more evident that the infant German democracy was about to be murdered by psychopathic personalities -- hereinafter P.P.s -- the medical term for smart, personable people who have no conscience. P.P.s are fully aware of how much suffering their actions will inflict on others but do not care. They cannot care.

"The classic medical text about how such attractive leaders bring us into unspeakable calamities is The Mask of Sanity by Dr. Hervey Cleckley. An American P.P. at the head of a corporation, for example, could enrich himself by ruining his employees and investors and still feel as pure as the driven snow. A P.P., should he attain a post near the top of our federal government, might feel that taking the country into an endless war with casualties in the millions was simply something decisive to do today.

Unlike Vonnegut, however, I choose not to judge any particular individuals into absolute categories like that. But I really despair about how heartless humans can act sometimes, and I like to think that there's always something that can get through to them.

Kind of a moot answer, though, since P.P.'s are the only category of people I can think of who are themselves immune to all forms of terrorism.

GW? Is that you? Trawling for the first round of Main Core round-ups and "homegrown terrorists"? lol

I ain't touchin this one with a ten foot pole. I just want to STOP being terrorized by my gov...

Humans

How about this...

Make everyone afraid of taking any actions that protect their own property or even lively hood by supporting massive amounts of frivolous lawsuits.

Destroy the free market economy by imposing huge taxes on the population, making them dependent on the Government.

Deny the ability for parents to choose to educate their own children and deny any incentives for parents to send children to private schools; ultimately eliminating all private schools, forcing all to attend public schools and undergo mandatory indoctrination to force compliance.

Institute and enforce complete gun control to remove any possibility of civil uprising.

Create, maintain and support a nationwide indiscriminate welfare program to further create dependence on the government by the population.

Punish individual success and initiative by increasing taxation on corporations and thereby again transferring more power to the government.

Reduce and even eliminate most criminal penalties for many offenses, giving lawyers more power and again causing the population to further depend on the government.

Reduce the size of the military and cut their budget so that we have no ability to protect our own interests overseas.

Placate to all other countries in tax tariffs and learn to depend on every other nation for everything.

In other words...

Become a Liberal Democrat..

Semper

I will not even dignify this with a response.

Gawd, most of these responses are so predictable.
Why terrorize anyone? There's too much of that as it is.
It seems like the Op is asking the question with the expectation that those "terrorized" are supposed to cower down in defeat. Seems a lot of people are now expected to subscribe to this way of thinking when in reality those that are threatened should in fact put the terrorists in their place once and for all.
I'm talking about action, not about griping, whining or complaining.

I'd love to answer this question and gladly be added to the list of 750,000+ people already on the terror watch list. My answer is I would terrorise nobody as long as I am alive on this planet. I am okay with waiting until the afterlife, that's when the real fun begins. Too busy making the most out of life here on earth while it lasts, it's just a temporary situation. I do like your question though, check up on the thread later to see if anyone is really dumb enough to provide details to your question.
