Perspective(formerly: Where Would You Stand?)

is this some sort of game?

Resist. Pretend to be collaborate but only to find the enemies' weak spots.

so now this thread got moved to IB? maybe you should start to explain what you're intend to do with this thread Mr. shaggy? i'm curious..

i want to wait one more day to give more people time to respond before i make my true intent clear.

i believe that people can be overly influenced by the OP, and my not answer as truthfuly. that's why i like to do my threads this way sometimes.

so it will stay in IB for at least another day.

Please don't let that mean that you are an alien overlord scoping out possible resistance members before taking over Earth...

I'd collaborate. Especially if invaders was a group of strike witches.

^ something like this

It depends on what type of governmental system they try to institute. But I guess in most cases I would just sit back and watch the world burn. It's what I'm doing now while living in this shit hole country America.

Everyone who said resist is a terrorist.

I used terrorism as an extreme example to make a point. I can’t remember the last time I saw a news program that didn’t use the word terrorist at least once(not that I watch the news all that much). It can be very hard to see things from a side other than what we’re used to or can easily relate to. I made the thread this way is because I wanted people to look at something from a side they could relate to first, then show them the same thing from another perspective. If you are part of the larger or more powerful group, they are terrorists, but if you are from the smaller or weaker group, they are freedom fighters. If I had titled the thread “Would you ever be a terrorist?”, I doubt anyone would have said yes because they would have seen it from a negative perspective first.



Looking back, this may be less than SD material(where i originaly posted), but I do think it fits Random better than IB though.

Could be worse. Better than being a slimy traitor.

Funny.. so for majority they hate of their future self then..

still.. it's not SD though

I would take over the force and become ruler.

It only terrorism when your the one getting bombed. Is it terrorism if you blow up only government targets and non civilian targets.

Aren't government people somewhat counted as civilians?

Not sure, they are working with or for a enemy state... i guess it dependent on what their duties are and where they are.

Military soldiers and militia are considered government employees and combatants in a war.

Terrorism is a weird thing because any thing that bring a terror is it. British in the revolutionary war considered colonial soldiers terrorists because we didn't fight in the old school stand in line and fire on only the foot soldier path like in Europe... we sniped and kill officers, which was a no no in civilize gentlemen warfare.

Big picture, it's up to society to work it out what terrorism and what just war.

Killing innocent people just for a cause is wrong and just plain retarded though.

It's terrorism if you only target civilians. it seems that any action against our(american) government policies, military forces, or even disagreeing with some polititions is called terrorism. even the term 'war on terror' is an oxymoron. as soon as the military is involved, it becomes out right war.

This is actually a rather thought provoking topic... I like the twist and its weird when you think of it from another perspective...

Rebel

I'll fight to the end and never regret my decision. The way I was born and raised!
