his thinking is probably "they work for the IRS so they are culpable"
Perry's giving a speech.
See what comes of your fear mongering?
Worst. Governor. Ever.

As justified as thieves. I mean if there's something that you want and you don't want to pay for it if you take it you will then have it.
If you want to make a political statement, flying planes into buildings works.
It works even if it is against the law.
And now that idiot is dead...good riddance.How does flying a plane into a building full of innocent people make a political statement?
Do you think anyone is sympathetic to his plight after this? Do you think anyone is sympathetic to the plight of the Taliban and Al-Queda after 9/11?

yeah I dont get how you think you've accomplished anything by killing yourself and casuing some property damage? Paying your income taxes in a wheelbarrow full of pennies is making a political statement. This is suicide and in effect terrorism which dilutes any message you were hoping to convey here.

Seriously, my thoughts exactly.And now that idiot is dead...good riddance.
Who exactly do you think we're spending millions of dollars on killing the middle-east?
People are sympathetic to the Talbian and Al-Queda and those organizations recruit heavily.
Are people going to be sympathetic to this guy? I would say that yes there will be people who are sympathetic to his plight and his political views as evidenced by the myriad of stupid people that have violent and destructive ideas and agendas.
In any case even if people aren't sympathetic I didn't say that it will rally the troops against the IRS, I just said that flying planes into buildings does make a statement.
My point is that while there may be a statement that you're trying to make, it -doesn't- work.
Nobody cares about the plight of this guy cuz he flew a plane into a building. Nobody cares about Al_Quaeda because of 9/11. Those people who do care hated America anyways and didn't need 9/11 to convince them.
All you are doing is attacking innocent civilians, hence the term "crazy", which is accurate, and does not deserve a![]()
Wait so the no one died! Not even the dude flying?!
Sympathizing and echoing this behavior are entirely different.Who exactly do you think we're spending millions of dollars on killing the middle-east?

As for the second part I bolded, the only statement it makes to me is insanity.
There is the legal definition of insanity like you just posted....and there is the general label of insanity that is given to someone who does something that the majority of people would consider being outlandish and over the top behavior....such as getting upset and deciding to burn your house down and then fly into a building and try and kill people you don't know because you are having a bad day.Insanity? Either you and I have different definitions of insanity or you were making a joke.
An insane person is such because they have a known provable mental disorder which prevented them or hindered their understanding of the actions that they were taking and causes them to fail to appreciate the nature of what they've done.
As horrible as what this man did was, it wasn't out of insanity. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Agreed, but the two can be related. I find it hard to believe that the Taliban has as many followers as it does without illiciting support for their actions.

Accoriding too wiki, Terrorism, by definition, is "carried out in such a way as to maximize the severity and length of the psychological impact."What do you think the point of terrorism is?

The Taliban and a man flying a plane into the IRS are not equatable in my mind.
I mean that it is insane to make your point against the IRS by burning down your house (leaving your family homeless) and then flying a plane into a building housing the IRS. No normal or sane person would do that.
