Right on. The birth of a new term....NATIONALITIST.
Good timing 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing that warn out, watered down term...RACIST. It doesn't mean anything anymore. |

Yes, the term bigot is far more appropriate.
There is a real division among the scientific community as to the existence of different races-----an interesting argument as to if there is enough
of differences to call certain groups a different race or not.
But bigot can cover it all----one can even be a bigot against those who eat broccolli.
Concrete thinking----those who see things in simple black or white terms--- see that in this argument and it is a very successful tool used by Fox
Noise in spreading propaganda that has no relationship to reality.

Yes, one can used "terms" to described evil actions and thoughts, which will be considered correct, but not sure they give an accurate depiction of
events ... like the hanging of a 7 year old boy by the Taliban to show his Grandfather, a village elder, that he, the Grandfather should keep his
mouth shut... our world is truly a treat to see each and every day.... and putting the correct labels on it ..... well, guess it does help .....
Really bad ..... really

Sure it's a word. I say it a hundred times whenever I read a Goat-Post. 
Actually, I got it from here:

The next group of people sent to babysit that section of border will be wearing helmets and if they're fresh from the Middle East, they may display
some radical responses the likes we havn't seen yet.

No what I meant was that quotidian isn't a quotidian word.
Figured you had a thesaurus. That's a non-quotidian word, quotidian that is, not thesaurus. Can we call you Dennisaurus, given your seniority and all?

Only if you get the spelling right. In Mexico, it's Señority.

Kids will be Kids
Look at all of those Child Soldiers in Africa.
And, showing what a teen is REALLY made of (literally), the latest Afghan Suicide Bomber was a 13-year old.

maybe the law should be changed - shoot to deter. not to kill. |

Why is that? Why do cops shoot to kill? Why don't cops wing guys or take out a leg or foot?
We had a teenager recently shot dead by the local sheriffs (Sonoma County CA) because he was threatening cops with a knife.
When did cops start this tactic and why? I got hit in the head by a rock, it hurt and I bled but I was fine. This is something that has to change!

If rock throwers know they could get shot dead...
maybe they will think twice.

Thinking Twice
And, if they do it ONCE, they won't be able to do it again.
Nothing is a better deterrent than being Dead and there's no reason to think that anybody hurling Deadly Projectiles at the Law has any right to
continue their existence.
Let's remember that this "Kid" did have an extensive record.
You have to laugh, though, when you read someone suggesting the Cops shoot to "Wing". Given how often Law-Enforcement officers shoot till empty at
fairly close-range and miss completely, thinking they could pick off an appendage is hilarious.
