magley64 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yes...way too close. Next time I'm swapping a motor, I'll take time to reflect on your spaghetti wiring yes swapping a motor = building a car in exactly the same way changing the channel = producing a television series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) The extremist definition listed above does not in any way describe the colonists and founding fathers who were not supremists in their values and agenda to free themselves from an oppressive regime in England nor was anyone deprived of their civil rights because the outcome was completely the opposite. For someone to completely misconstrue the intent of the American Revolution completely reveals their utter ignorance and stupity.

"supremacy" "deprived of civil liberties" are not applicable, you don't have to fit every possible definition in order to be classified as such... 2. IdeologyA set of political beliefs about the nature of people and society; an organized collection of ideas about the best and most appropriate way to live. 3. Extremism– A term used to describe the actions or ideologies of individuals or groups who take a political idea to its limits, regardless of unfortunate repercussions, and show intolerance toward all views other than their own. 4. Extremist–A person who advocates the use of force or violence; advocates supremacist causes based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or national origin; or otherwise engages to illegally deprive individuals or groups of their civil rights. you gotta read the OR...

Tpoppa Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 yes swapping a motor = building a car in exactly the same way changing the channel = producing a television series Was that your instinct, or the opposite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yes, Nowhere in here does it say "this is good, or this is bad" it only identifies how strongly your ideology is held, and whether you're willing to use force or violence to advocate it. (this i what I've been saying this whole thread) 3.

This isn't newsworthy... if a poll was taken of the american public, do you suppose an "extremist" would be considered bad or good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) if a poll was taken of the american public, do you suppose an "extremist" would be considered bad or good? So now you're arguing how the word makes people feel? I thought we were just erpderping over the definition... Yes, I imagine the word conjures up all kinds of negative connotation in the general populace's mind... does that change what the word means, or how it was used in this educational context? No, but the negative connotation of the word is what Faux nuz latched onto to try to make an outrage story over a military training document, and a textbook definition of a word.

Anden Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm sorry but must agree with Mags on this. Just because we adopted thier views doesn't make them any less of an extremist. 1 Sail the treacherous ocean in fear of the Kraken for religious freedom is extreme. 2 Resorting to terrorist activities (Boston Tea Party) a bit extreme.3 Taking land from natives by bauble or by force is way extreme. Also bringing our beliefs as a better way. Manifest Destiny.I am thankfull they did all these things. Gave us the greatest country on the planet. But yes they should be considered extremists. They were our feeedom fighters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were our feeedom fighters. even the kraken part? i mean, i kind of fear the kraken, but i REALLY enjoy calamari and stunting. also, and i promise i'm not ignoring the rest of your post: if we, as a nation and society, have adopted their views, why would those views be considered outside the societal norm? and regarding the rest of your post: yes, they would and should be considered extremist... BY THE BRITISH, in the 18th and 19th century. we are fortunately, not the british. emma watson is hawt, and cal crutchlow is a great rider, but we are americans and the DOD is an American organization. if america became more british-y, then yes, the values of our founding fathers would be again, considered extremist.... are we that far gone? In this case, I don't think I'm the one with the problem. if i have a problem with the core concepts of our nation's values being construed as extremist, then yuuuup, i got a problem acknowledging that widely accepted connotation(s) attached to a word means nothing to you is the first step in working your way back from the land of mag-DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR dun dun dun duh duh duh dunnnnnn MAGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR duh duh dun dun duh duh dun dun magdor was a manI mean, he was a magtard manOr maybe he was just a tardButhewasstill magdoooooor!maggdooooooooooooor!magdooooooooo00ooor!Burninating the constitution,Burninating the peasantsBurninating all the peoples rightsAnd their thatched-roof cottages!Thatched-roof cottages!
