Their actions lead to suffering. Stop doing wrong, work for what's
right, and suffering will diminish for all sides.

Someone who purposely starves himself to death is unworthy of sympathy,
much less the honors due a martyr.

More of your radical conformity. They're nothing but antisocial zealots
whose radical ideals are so out of step with the mainstream that they
seek to impose their will through violence and destruction rather than
engage others in the arena of ideas.

It was about more than oil, skank. You left out standing up to the
oppressive Sandanistas in your list.

So much for being brave. They're cowards, espousing their views in the
still of the night rather than in the cleansing light of the sun. I must
agree with Dutch: your over-glamorized view of yourself is clear when
you choose to call yourself a guerilla.
