Another 9/11

[rgrwest]

Yeah, but my question is....how important do you have to be, to be considered assassinated and not just murdered?

This did not post before... So I am reposting...

Ranger rgrwest -

Well, I would define assassination as the murder of a person of enough prominence so as to 1) cause psychological damage to the society or 2) that will result in substantial damage to the governing of the society or 3) result in a significant shift in the direction in which it is being led.

One can also argue that the method and publicity are important as well. As are the purpose, goals, and consequences to the murder.

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same melody?
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your ass?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride; he sticks his head out the window?

If the little black box is indestructible why isn’t the whole plane made out of it?
Why is it called the little black box when it is actually “orange”?
Is there another word for synonym?

You remember when they used to drive us around in the back of stake-beds & Deuce & 1/2s? I always wondered why the hell they had us wear helmets then. Because at the speeds those nutbags were driving, if that thing tipped over the only thing they were going to find was a high-n-tight in a K-Pot.

That was only half of my running list. Feel free to add, I put them on my list to keep it updated.



Yeah agree with the k-pot thing. Kinda silly, but I did it.
