Angry ex-girlfriend goes ballistic, rips off man

Another hate crime. What is the world coming to? Her actions seemed a bit extreme.

Your dead wrong...at least according to the Judicuriary system...

There's different classifications of killing...motive and premeditation being a large factor in how one is charged...

1. First degree murder...'Killing someone with forethought, premeditation...most severe charges...

2. 2nd degree murder...When a person kills another...but didn't think about it, or plan it behore hand...like shooting someone while robbing a bank or store or while in heated fight...

3. Manslaughter...Again...you did not leave your home or office or car intending to 'kill' anyone...but while in a conflict, choose to esculate force, for whatever reason, that results in unintentional death of someone...


So no, according to the courts, murder isn't murder...

And usually people with extreme views, who kill others, specifically target others do to physical traits, had time to think about, and plan who their victim would be...

Means they sat at home or office or hide out, and pre meditated whom their target would be...

So the courts don't agree with your your assertion 'murder is murder'...or all those in the military would be up on charges...

Extremists are orgasmic about "fallacy-o".

The pun is better when spoken, not written.

Any given socio-political position can be expressed as extreme by whoever decides.
....for example, anyone who disagrees with the policies of President Obama is usually labeled as extremist by him.....no matter how extreme those policies are.

I don't use the term 'extremist' often, if ever, to disparage views I dislike. If a view is bad, pointing out why it's bad ought to be enough. If it's good, we need as much of it as we can get.

Actions may be extreme, i.e. the Oklahoma City bombing, but whether they are unduly extreme depends on the context and any relevant provocation.

An extremist is a person that is passionate about a cause, often also having a great knowledge of the subject.

Recorded human history has been around for at least 10,000 years...

So just curious...what is your, or what was the definition of 'An extreme view' the previous 9,997 years of human history before President Obama arrived on the scene?

Or did anything exist before him?

It is how most people view those who are extreme. Someone i may feel is extreme, you may not.
To me exteme, is over the top, in your thinking, rationale, and though process, different thinking from what others would view the same topic.
Extreme is sometimes acting on those you disagree with or oppose, in a very negative sometimes violent manner.
A person can be exteme, with religion, race issues, gay people, sex, etc.
People who have a extreme viewpoint, carry their views to such an extreme point, that it makes them do things we view as stupid or ingorant.
