This is worse than conventional terrorism. They only have societal and political goals. These guys are going after the guys everyone has a silent agreement not to go after.

Well people didnt live past 30 in the stoneage so, im considering technology pro human. And fucks like these should be banned from watching movies.
Stupid fucking Anarcho-Primitivists. Go hump a pamphlet on Social Darwinism, you luddite bastards.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;32369816]Anti-tech people.....using.....bombs? These people are trying to appear as credible, right?[/QUOTE]Well most of the bombs they've sent either didn't detonate, or didn't detonate correctly, I doubt it's subtle irony on their part though.

The Luddites opposed the Industrial revolution in general because it was going to replace them and generally change their way of life. But that was literally all it could do because of the limitations of the time, they couldn't oppose it for much else. Today, the term has expanded to encompass anyone opposed to technological change. Don't believe me? Go check the Oxford dictionary, or go check Merriam-Webster. Or will you try and argue that both of them are wrong as well?
Luddites are people who deserve to be given the worst death out of all humans. The death penalty exists for them.
Wasn't this posted before? This shit is pretty scary, fortunately I think it's mostly confined to Mexico which is in a really shitty state at the moment.

This is a very clear-cut discussion where it's obvious who is in the wrong, we don't need the waters getting murky.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;32371619]They are in the wrong. They are the worst kind of humans.[/QUOTE] And that necessitates killing them? Isn't killing anyone who doesn't share your point of view exactly why we hate religious extremism?
[QUOTE=Cone;32371832]And that necessitates killing them? Isn't killing anyone who doesn't share your point of view exactly why we hate religious extremism?[/QUOTE] It's Sobotnik, shit like that can be safely disregarded.
[QUOTE=Cone;32371832]And that necessitates killing them? Isn't killing anyone who doesn't share your point of view exactly why we hate religious extremism?[/QUOTE] They sent bombs to kill scientists. They want to delay technology that can save lives. If they do that why do they deserve to live.

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;32371914]Err, Sobotnik, has anyone ever suggested that you maybe be a bit less facist?[/QUOTE] Let be reword such a statement then. It doesn't matter what do we, we have to make sure that anti-technology luddism never gets further than the individuals mind.

How the hell can you be against technology? [I]You'd literally have to live in a cave like a cave man.[/I] Hell, back in the day, a sharpened flint stone on a long stick was cave-man high-tech, it was bling for them, got you lots of pussy you'd have to be against ALL progress itself and therefore live off nothing. :psy:
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;32371971]Let be reword such a statement then. It doesn't matter what do we, we have to make sure that anti-technology luddism never gets further than the individuals mind.[/QUOTE] Of course. However, killing them in anything less than self-defence is the first step towards becoming a totalitarian thought police state. If at all possible, we should not kill them, and instead teach them that they are entitled their own opinions - just that they can not intefere with the majority's.

The root still exists and will regrow in the future.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;32371994]The problem is it is like a weed. Stopping their actions is merely killing it above ground. The root still exists and will regrow in the future.[/QUOTE] Then we stop them. If they want to make their opinions public, we'll let them - just warn them that if they try anything, we will be forced to defend ourselves. If they keep underground where they can't do any harm, they are entitled to their opinions. This seems to be what you are not understanding.

All dictatorships and democracies do eventually fall. In such situations the luddites can rise to power and start to do their work which can impede the human race.

If we get to the point where democracy - and thus the opinion of the majority - no longer exists, I doubt there would be much we can do. At that point, even your suggested measures would not help; you say we should take the death penalty to the luddites - how would this stop them when there is no government to carry it through? There would be nothing we could do, and killing people now won't do anything but help ensure someone feels a need to dissolve the government carrying through with the killings.
Anti-Technology.. Technology is a big word. Everything helpful is technology on some level, like having a drink in your glass. Smart! And it goes a very long way.. You don't wanna be an anti-technology person.
