Not my problem if some of you are confused when confronted with nuance and ...

They were unofficial, had no power, and had no legal standing in the government.

That literally is like trying to claim that a agent or political activist is an "Official agent of Congress". They are not, because they have absolutely no power in the government, and Congress is free to ignore them.

That is not representation, you fail again.

No one argued what you just have. The colonists were subjects who obeyed the laws Parliament passed.

An agent represents

Wow, I rarely see somebody spinning so hard and fast in here.

Are you honestly expecting to be taken seriously, and as anything other than a joke when you are trying to argue you never said it was terrorism, then turn right around and accuse another of disagreeing with your belief it is terrorism?

Good god, at least be consistent. Talk about speaking with a forked tongue.

You're as confused as Liability is. Not healthy.

I love how we got the OP to spam up his own bullshit thread.

That one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter repetitively on this rock escapes most Dante'

What they lack in such perspective is due to the propaganda they've digested

This is what you believe?

verb: sabotage;

1. deliberately destroy, damage, or obstruct (something), especially for political or military advantage.

Sabotage is not terrorism. The only victims were the owners of the tea.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yes, by today's standards, the Boston Tea Party was an act of terrorism.

keeper post

Thank you

You’re welcome. And you’re partly right. It is a “keeper” posting only you could learn from it.

But, of course, given your endless dishonesty, it’s not likely you will learn from being so publicly corrected.

 

[BackAgain]

Yes, by today's standards, the Boston Tea Party was an act of terrorism.

Not at all. It was an act of theft and of property damage. But where words have meaning, it wasn’t and couldn’t possibly be “terrorism.”

Fuck with us we keeeel you.

America has never attacked any half civilized Muslim nation.

Those loyalist were here much longer than many rebels. They made the colony what it was at the time. Your views on colonial American and early USA history are stuck at the Junior High School level.

Snitchy? Some of the most celebrated arguments came from Colonists who later broke with the rebels over going against the Sovereign. They were loyalists, yet the rebels incited groups using the arguments of those very loyalists.

Why are you talking to yourself?

Those laws you mentioned were enacted without any representatives from the colonies voting on them. That is YOUR error, again.

Good gawd...

From the article, posted in the OP, Post #1: Two separate items listed, which are mutually exclusive?

to commit seditious conspiracy and destroy private property
From the article, posted in the OP, Post #1: Actions not against the government?

all because they didn’t want to obey a duly passed law
Facts: not like your distorted opinions "the tea would be taxed at the point of entry in colonial ports." The East India Company was not taxing anyone. The British Parliament was.
"Boston's consignees petition the governor to safeguard the tea once it arrives, but with British forces confined to Castle William since the unfortunate events of the Boston Massacre, Hutchinson is powerless to oblige. The streets belong to the opposition." (sounds like ANTIFA to me).

Governor Hutchinson is incensed, calling the dumping of the tea high treason

So, it was treason and not terrorism. You just destroyed your own premise.

The Dainty is now outright lying to distance itself from its own words.

Pathetic. But amusing.

Sailors?

Are you just waking up?

Sailors. You know, the ship's crew?

My God, you are incredibly stupid!

It’s an ongoing bit of hilarity to see the dainty reduced to outright lies to evade responsibility for its own words.

Please, the Dainty. More. The crowd wants more!
