Freedom Ride

And when a military force targets civilians rather than say armed resistance fighters does that then in turn make the military force a "terrorist" organisation? Are they no longer military but rather terrorists, albeit in uniform?

If you ever figure that out, go tell the UN. They’ve been arguing about it for 60 years at least.

This is obviously a point of substantial debate in the international system, but I would say a good place to draw the line is targeting civilians. That’s what terrorists do (or at least they don’t focus exclusively on military targets). Many freedom fighter groups will argue they have to do this to exercise their rights to self-determination as no one will pay any attention otherwise. There are lots of other ways to define terrorism, and I would say many revolutionary groups cross those lines from time to time.

What african-americans thought freedom was?
What white people thought freedom was?
What women thought freedom was?
What Native Americans thought freedom was?

What were the different concepts from each group?

they all thought freedom was good.

I used to go to school with many pro IRA schoolmates. I wonder if anyone in yahoo answers supports a certain group and if so which ones and why?

Thank you

one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter

i agree with Terry, PLO, and all the factions that fight for the cause.
If the IRA are terrorists for fighting the british empire, then George Washington was also a terrorist for fighting Great Britain. Same situation but different timeline.

No doubt, some organisations diguise themselves and serve a financial , or a foreign countrys agenda, and are merciless in order pressure the governments for personal benefits.. But thats a minority

Ho-kay. Atwhay ethay ellhay areway ouyay alkingtay aboutway.

That’s pig latin for "What the Hell are you talking about".

Pro-Lifers, Pro-Choicers, Porno Publishers, Atheists, Communists, Patriots, etc…? I’m just giving examples but my question is if you could stifle any person or group for exercising their Freedom of Speech, who would you you bestow this honor upon?

The whole point of freedom of speech is that everyone has it, if I wanted to stifle anyone’s freedom of speech, then I wouldn’t truly believe in it.

If one chooses not to go hang out with a certain ethnic group is that racism or just freedom of choice?

racism is not an act. It’s a belief. If you choose not to hang out with an ethnic group for whatever reason, you have the right to that. That’s freedom of choice. But if the reasoning behind any decision is that a group is inferior to your race based on what you perceive to be their racial identity, that act would be considered an act of racism. Anyway, ethnicity and race aren’t the same thing. Ethnicity takes a lot more into account, like religion and culture, and when you think about it people do that all the time. People tend to stay around people who look like them, think like them, act like them and so on.

This group includes many elected officials. Thus government information about group activities should be made public?

No. Private groups aare not subject; nor should they be

I am doing a teach in project for my U.S. History class. My group is the Young Americans for Freedom. I am unsure who YAF protested against as far as the auto industry. If someone could help that would be great.

GO TO THEIR WEBSITE
BUT
THEY ARE CONSERVATIVE
SO IT IS A SAFE BET THEY WEREN’T THERE TO SUPPORT LABOR

i have been a member of a yahoo group for a long time now, and i got into an argument with the moderator, because she thought i was bad-mouthering her. i was just stating my opinion, and so did other members of the group. one of the members was removed from the group, and the others that dared to say their opinion about the matter, were put on moderated post, and the moderator won’t approve any of their messages, no matter of the content. so we decided we want to report the group, for discrimination, for taking our right to an opinion and for taking our freedom of speech.

nothing you can do and Yahoo wont get involved. the moderator isn’t violating any TOS terms and in fact, this goes on in many groups and moderators have the option/ right to put members on moderated posts and not approve them. they can also ban you if they wanted.
there is no freedom of speech or discrimination- which discrimination you’d need a lawyer, not Yahoo.
sorry, try to get along with everyone or find another group

There is no question — they are a political group. If they are trying to lie about the essential nature of their organization, then they have no credibility on anything, especially the war.
