why do ppl confuse cause and effect all the time?

Question

is this a legal maneuver by PR execs? ill show u what i mean:

"we must bomb the terrorists because they hate us and are trying to harm us"

when reality is:

"the want to harm us because we bomb( and oppress/imperialize/occupy) them".

Terrorism was not born out of a vacuum. no one randomly woke up and said, "hey, I think ill kill my self and some americans bc its in my religion". US policy created this sh-t, and it has only gotten worse since.

gettin real: when thehell did media ever espouse this view? al media wants is to scare ppl with their "threat" warnings.

jazz, not only do you need a history lesson before you teach, you need to follow current events as well. we are currently occupying iraq, dumbshit. historically sunni shia and sufis all contributed to science and literature and cooperated and did not fight. recently however due to US imperialist divide and conquer, they now are resorting to internecine fighting. I bet the US is the one blowing up mosques- would you put it past the CIA? great strategy if you think abt it- muslims against muslims dont have time to fight the imperialist invader. be a lil more creative than just repeating everything from the media, ok? thx :)
europeans invented terrorism with racial slavery in US and rape of native south americans and with opium wars aparthied carving up africa for greed, etc etc list goes on. don't be ignorant.

MT- their beliefs? I take it you mean islam? if islam is the cause of terror, which is what you get at, howcome muslims w same beliefs who are not oppressed do not commit terrorism? your theory fails. sorry, play again.

Answer 1

Forgive me Stanza, but you need a few history lessons.

Your "reality" is messed up....we only have bombed them (mostly terrorist camps......you know, the "males" who inhabit them, who have been trained from a very small age to hate the west because we believe everyone should enjoy human rights, and tend to impose that philosophy?). We "imperialize" them, to teach them not to pissss in their drinking water.....and occupy?!? There's not an American I know that would want to occupy that land! But I suppose you mean something like our "occupying" of Japan or Germany...

And if you look into the history of the terrorism of the middle east, you will find the Muslims have been wrought with violence from the time Mohammad conquered cities, and ever since there came a split between Sunni and Shia'.

I suggest you grow up and get an education!


COOL....I got your goat, to boot......;-)

Please define "recently" and you'll defeat your own statement.
My son has been CIA for 8 yrs now...I get some news there.
"Invented terrorisim"! Hahaha, you are showing your age....
I repeat, read up on your history....you'll get a better story.

Answer 2

In actuality the true reality as to why they try to kill us has not to do with us bombing them. They understand why we are bombing them and that is because we are at war. The terrorists, if you do some research, say themselves that it is because of our beliefs and how we live our lives. Islamic extremists when reading the Koran understands that anyone who does not follow the teachings are infidels and are to be killed til we are all dead or we turn over and start to follow the teachings of the koran. The discovery channel had a very good and informative show on this exact subject. As to why we in the U.S. are the biggest targets? That would because we stand out as being the biggest to being proactive towards our freedoms and probably appear to be the biggest transgressors against the koran. Bin Laden is the first one it seems to be able to get organized enough to be able to have a real impact worldwide. Now we live in a new world with different ground rules. Pandoras box all over again. Crazy isn't it?

Answer 3

And the odd thing is that in the 5 years since 9/11 and Bush' 'war on terror' Terrorist acts worldwide have increased rather than decreased.
When Bush called the attacks on 9/11 an act of war rather than a criminal offense, he gave them much more credit and weight than was their due. He made Osama a warlord rather than just an ordinary criminal, this has caused numerous terrorists to look up to him as an example.
If Osama's role had been downplayed and if he had been stamped as an ordinary criminal he would not have inspired so many terrorists to unite.

So you are right, the terrorists were already there but thanks to mr. Bush they are now united and fighting a common enemy.

Answer 4

From examining the diverse different solutions, it seems to be completely regularly occurring! I sometimes hear something in English then sense like i could answer it in a distinctive language, if that's what you propose?

Answer 5

"Cause they buy into moronic drivel like yours instead of bothering to do the research, ie. read the Koran & otherwise become well informed. Worshipping at the feet of Mainstream Media does not count toward being well-informed. Rhetoric such as yours is the lazy way out for those who'd rather not think.

Answer 6

neither side are immune, ignorance is ubiquitous in government and cause and effect is usually clouded in the process of governing by fear, lies and theft.....
What gov hasn't promised the poor and stolen them blind at the same time .... terrorism is revenge not justice.....there is seldom a single source blame in these matters that's an over -simplification that goes nowhere Keep trying your intentions are good your vision is limited........

Answer 7

Two wrongs don't make a right uh?

Answer 8

I also wonder why people confuse effect and affect....
