: Gas Station To Offer 'Terror-Free' Oil
: February Grand Opening Planned

:
: OMAHA, Neb. -- Area drivers will soon be able to fill up with
gasoline
: made from "terror-free oil."
:
: KETV in Omaha reports that a gas station is about to open near
129th
: and Q streets named Terror Free Oil, and the idea is to offer
: consumers petroleum products from countries that do not sponsor
: terror.
:
: The gas station is associated with the Terror-Free Oil Initiative.
The
: group's objective is to encourage Americans to buy gasoline that
: originated from countries that do not export or finance terrorism.
A
: representative said that Omaha's will be the first of several
: terror-free oil gas stations to open across the country.
:
: "The terror-free oil initiative is dedicated to encouraging
Americans
: to buy gasoline that originated from countries that do not export
or
: finance terrorism," according to the group's Web site.
:
: Chris Decker, professor of economics with the University of
: Nebraska-Omaha, said the idea may make for good marketing.
:
: "From a business perspective, it's kind of a neat way to
differentiate
: yourself from the competition. To me, that sounds an awful lot
like
: what we in environmental economics refer to as eco-labeling. Like,
: when you purchase a can of tuna with a symbol that there was no
harm
: to dolphins to catch the tuna," Decker said.
:
: Will drivers make a special trip? Mary Ann Buscher said the
station
: got her attention, with its bright red, white and blue
advertising,
: but she isn't sure when or if she'll stop there.
:
: "I wouldn't go out of my way to go there, probably. No, I
wouldn't,"
: she said.
:
: The grand opening is Feb. 12.
:
: Survey says.
:
: Would you buy your gasoline from a station that receives its
inventory
: from countries that don't sponsor terrorism?

wouldn't that rule out buying any petroleum products from USA or UK
companies?
or is "Shock and Awe" in some way different from terrorism?

According to DemocraticUnderground.com
(see
http://www.democraticunderground.com.../31_shock.html )
"They can call it "Shock And Awe" if they want; but - by the
Pentagon's
own admission - we've already got a name for this kind of thing, and
it
is
'terrorism.' "

The definition for "shock and awe" follows:
"The battle plan is based on a concept developed at the National
Defense
University. It's called 'Shock and Awe' and it focuses on the
psychological destruction of the enemy's will to fight rather than
the
physical destruction of his military forces."

The definition for terrorism follows:
"defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of --
or
threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or
property
to
coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve
political,
religious, or ideological objectives."

I can't see much difference.

So can netkkopping be considered a form of terrorism?

Terrorism? Not really, I don't think. Why?


We've got a netkkkop here who netkkkops against those who do not agree
with
their political, religious and ideological objectives. Do you have any
suggestions on how to deal with such a person? In fact, if you stick
around
long enough you will probably get netkkkopped by the individual.

I'm guessing you're talking about a.s.a? I'm only there/here by xpost and
most likely will disappear as soon as this thread dies. Netkkkops are
usually hissy-fit throwing children who run to mama when they can't get
their way. You treat them like any other 6 year old that's misbehaving.
You take away *THEIR* priviledges. ie: ignore the twits. (pretty hard to
stand someone in a usenet corner) If that doesn't work, then maybe .. Hmmm
.. I don't know.. use a server that won't TOS you? I've found the more I
pay for a server, the less likely they're going to TOS me. Good luck.
