And I'm saying you're a lunatic for not being able to draw a distinction between terrorism and allied military intervention in an armed conflict between (even self-declared) states.

Yes it's very important to discern, when analyzing the site of a bomb explosion which ruined critical infrastructure and killed civilians, whether or not the intent of the attack was to induce terror.

You see, when a state does it, it's not terrorism, even if it has the exact same effect! This is an important distinction.

One generates less casualties than the other.

a) When counting wholes, the correct word is "fewer".
b) I am talking about a hypothetical where the casualties are exactly the same.

Besides that, I'm curious: which bombs are the terrorist ones? The ones that kill more people, or the ones that kill fewer?

The one that was set/launched/whatever to kill as many non-combatants as possible. Due to the whole 'spreading terror' part, intent is a HUGE part of terrorism.

In a scenario that kills some non-combatants, does the intent of the attacker determine whether or not people are terrified?

When that attacker publicly claims responsibility and threatens more, similar attacks against non-combatants unless whatever demands are met, absolutely.

So if your house was bombed while you were out, you would not be terrified if nobody claimed responsibility?

If there was, however, a note where my house once stood that said any future house I had - as well as the people in them - might be bombed again unless I did something, then yes, I would probably be terrified.

Say it was a foreign state that had bombed your house, and they televised that bombing would continue in your area until your local government had surrendered. Would you be any less terrified?

Canadian airstrike alleged to have killed 10 civilians in Iraq

"Canada's military is facing fresh allegations its bombs may have killed civilians in Iraq, CBC News has learned, following reports in local media that 10 civilian workers were allegedly killed after an airstrike by Canadian warplanes last week."

Hearts and minds

B-b-b-b-but bombs never hit the wrong targets! We have perfect intelligence! I suspect that these "civilians" probably secretly supported ISIS so it's actually all part of the plan. We should bomb more places.

While we're on CRA chat, I've always wondered:

If you don't file your annual tax return, but have had the same single employer for the entire period and have actually paid all of your taxes through that employer, what's going to happen? Are they going to track you down, audit you, then hand you your owed return at the end of it? Maybe charge you for the cost of the audit? Or can you just go on not filing your returns ever, waiving any deductions you might be entitled to?

The only thing they mention anywhere is that there are penalties for not declaring income. I can't find any details on what happens if you don't file, but you paid enough tax.

# ¿ Nov 30, 2015 20:12

Tan Dumplord: Mar 9, 2005; by FactsAreUseless

Yeah, I've done the 5 years at once thing before without penalty. I'm wondering what will happen if I just never file until I have other income to declare.

Listen, until we can absolutely prove that Constant Hamprince hasn't molested and murdered dozens of children, devouring their flesh raw and grinding their bones into his morning shake, how can we really say that he hasn't? Have there been any studies on the matter? Without any hard facts, I'm not going to just assume that he hasn't. Until several peer-reviewed studies are published, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Seriously? Heat is required to cook an egg. Heat can be derived from or cause fire. Accidents happen everywhere, including around heat sources. It's pretty straightforward.
