How about strapping on an automatic rifle and calmly, methodically shooting people in cold blood who are simply enjoying a night out with friends and family? I'd say that qualifies.
I would say bombing a hospital qualifies.
On topic.....during the Revolutionary War otherwise innocent people were killed and or ran off their property for nothing more than remaining loyal to England.
Today the Boston Tea party would have been considered a terrorist attack.
Are you kidding? It would have been an environmentally unfriendly incident. The seagulls and fish would be checked for hyper behavior as a result of too much caffeine in the water.

There are terrorist attacks (Boston Tea Party?) and of course, ambushing troops. Then there is the new form of it where they kill civilians and glory in the gore. It is obvious that Daesh is really just a league of extraordinary maniacal/psychopathical lunatics that get together to do what they have always wished they could do - with some sort of contrived reasoning/legitimacy. This is just evil.

If you are at work and another country decides that your neighbor needs to die so they throw a few bombs at his house. In the process your house gets hit and it kills your wife and kids.
While rushing home they decide to hit your place of business. You now have no home, no family and no livelihood.
Someone comes along and says "I have some money...I'll feed you and cover all expenses. We are getting together a few men to sneak over and kill those who did this". Would you perhaps sign up?

I very well might.....
Virtually every person on here would and not give a rats you know what about the baggage of that planner. Thats what makes the hypocrisy of the warmongers on here so jarring.
Over religion..... and freedom to worship who and how you wish?
After all, England did have the bloody Crusades to avoid again.
The Church of England was losing it's control over the people....
There were militias, fighting those that disagreed with them and their freedom.
Killing many, was the mission to rule themselves.
A terrorist is someone who attacks civilians in order to create fear and panic, and bring about political instability and change.
Britain arguably engaged in some acts against the civilian population that did result in terror (Boston Massacre), but that was more accident than policy. Broadly speaking I would not consider them terrorists.
George Washington engaged in some acts that resemble terrorism, but since they were not carried out against civilians, I wouldn't consider it terrorism.

You fail. There is a difference between this:

And killing innocent people for funsies. Those people enjoying their drink/meal on the sidewalk cafe were not part of an army. Those people at the rock concert were not part of an army. Those people at the soccer game were not part of an army. The people on the train going to work were not part of an army. The people in the World Trade centers were workers, civilians, not part of an army. The people on the planes were not part of an army.
There is no hypocrisy. There is false allegations, and spinning of details to fit your sick agenda, but no, the majority here would NOT SIGN UP to strap on a suicide vest and go kill a bunch of innocents who had nothing to do with any of it. Stop excusing terrorism, it's disgusting and vile. Make me want to puke.

Neither are those who we label "collateral damage".
They aren't " collateral damage". They are just people getting through the day like everyone else.
