"Football star is asked who was his hero growing up." "My hero was my dad." Again, sorry... being a "dad" is a responsibility. Doing it right does not make you a hero. <br /><br />The shooting in Quebec City was not terrorism (sorry 10:47, but it is debatable). This was a mass-murder. The fact that it occurred in a mosque, while noted, does not make it terrorism. When there was the shooting in the movie theatre in Colorado a couple of year ago, was this terrorism? No, it was a mass-murder. <br /><br />Having said that, most murders insight terror and could be construed as "terrorism". But the word terrorism has been around for a long time. But, what used to be "radical-based terrorism" has been shortened to just terrorism. <br /><br />As someone who lived in the UK during the IRA bombing campaigns about terrorism.

Unfortunately, the word terrorism is used in many contexts when it should not be. A similar fate has been thrust upon the word "Hero". I get upset when the media throws around both words when they are not correct. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-30192474014202609612017-01-31T21:25:10.602-05:002017-01-31T21:25:10.602-05:00The media is shameless.The media is shameless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-71421483316946462722017-01-31T12:13:49.481-05:002017-01-31T12:13:49.481-05:00Are you claiming that it was not an act of terrori...Are you claiming that it was not an act of terrorism?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
