:Rick, this article is based on the American military definition of terrorism, a very popular version and one that naturally will be biased toward the state. Please note that the examples of terrorism in this article and the map pinpointing the examples come directly from the U.S. State Department. Because of its wide use, this subjective version of "terrorism" is a separate article. Please see Terrorism (disambiguation) for other definitions.   

 ::It's about good and god damn time someone locked down this page. Fuckin terrorist sympathizers want to have some "literal" meaning of terrorism, like anyone in this great nation can talk about terrorism without remembering how we were attacked for no reason except that they hate freedom. Terrorism will always mean evil violence against innocent civilians. It is now illegal to say anything that helps terrorists, and that is exactly what these assholes are doing by saying that other people were terrified and threatened by the U.S. of A. Those civilians weren't innocent and our violence against them wasn't evil. Anyone who loves this country better stand behind what the president says is terrorism and if you don't, get the fuck out!
