It doesnt matter whether Scots were terrorists in centuries past.

WTF are you on about? Please elaborate on this.

Scotland was mentioned earlier.And it was to make the point that because terrorism has happenend before its not a reason for it to happen again, its not an answer.

I didn't notice it ealier. Just saw that and thought "eh?"

But I don't see the relevance of citing something that happened a couple of centuries ago. Those were different times where dimplomacy through words was not often, if ever, used. However, were the English not just as bad with the Highland clearances? Comparing modern day so-called terrorism with something from a few 100 years ago is ludicrous. besides, one mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter.

Well that was my point, whatever happenned before doesnt make it right to do it now. Doesnt really matter who did what to who, doesnt make it right to do it now.

[andrew]

Indeed.

If there is going to be a race, I'll watch it.
If I was Fia I wouldn't make a race there, not just for safety but for a stand against fascist goverments, who abuse and torture their people, becouse freedom is a right for everybody in this world. insteed of arguing who is wrong and who is right, imagine yourselfs in the position of those suffering people...
If someone comes and take my belongings, my house, my job, and puts me to hunger, by '' law '' with violence... WILL I BE A TERRORIST, If I fight back with everything I can?
I would take advantage of everything I could to fight back, and I guess you would too...
Don't talk to me about threats and terrorism...What we see as entertainment, they see as an opportunity to fight back, for their lives.
The only terrorists I see, are the super rich of the world who hire the goverments, to do the dirty jobs (Wars, taxes,dictatorships,Fake economy crisis, etc)

I laughed heartily at the part about how going ahead with a race means people have died for nothing. Those guys trivialize their deaths even more summarily by indicating that their lives only held enough value to cancel a race that bahrain freedom note is also the biggest piece of hypocritical trash I've read in a while. the d bags deserve what they're getting with that attitude.

Nice to see you are enjoying it .

I really do!! I can't take anyone seriously who blatantly says, "If i can't have human rights then neither can you." They can go themselves. I understand why you may roll your eyes at me and I don't take it personally. I can't overlook the fact that these guys threatened innocent people, i.e. the drivers, who have done nothing but try to drive a car. If I lived in bahrain and wanted more human rights, I certainly wouldn't threaten anyone else' human rights, except for the ones who are taking mine away, and I sure as hell don't see paul di resta oppressing anybody.

You would be if you threaten to kill innocent F1 drivers who have no involvement in this Sunni ruling harsh on the Shia majority argument.

people of bahrain were innocent too... there is a war going on between them, it is their country not ours. Bernie pushed the drivers to go there, where a war is going on. they are not terrorists they are fighters, every war has innocents killed, Once the majority of the people don't want F1 in their country, Fia should consider that and respect their fight for freedom, If anyone is injured, I will blame Bernie and not the so called ''terrorists''!

ex. I threat to kill anyone who enters my house, without my permision, in your words I am a terrorist becouse I cause fear...
why not blame the one who's trying to enter?

Fia is doing the same and everyone gets involved once they are there!
Our freedom stops where someone else's starts...

Then really they're just as bad as their own gov't if they're going to do the same to other people as what has been done to them.

A force India hire car containing mechanics has been caught up in the conflict and got firebombed. no one was hurt but one team member has been allowed to return to the uk, he wont stay there. BBC news sight.

That is the dumbest anology I've ever heard!

dumb or not it is how they feel... Who is giving you the right to do a race in a country in which it's people don't want you there, If anyone is injured the blame is on you who knew the situation and decided to go there! It is like fia co-operates with the fascist gov.
drivers are innocent but bernie gets them involved in a political act.

[Hammer278]

Partsas has a point.

In this instance, the teams are 'collateral damage' in the eyes of the locals. Think about it from their view, the race being held there by the government (who are the oppressors) is basically trying to paint a false image to the world: Everything is okay here...which it isn't.

By cooperating with the government, unfortunately the F1 circus is seen as 'against' the political parties, ie. the friend of my enemy (gov) is my enemy. They WILL do their best to target this circus to get back against the government, as it is their best interest to show the world otherwise, aka, things are NOT well here and our government doesn't seem to give a damn about it.

The teams aren't doing anything wrong of course, and they have no blame to shoulder...their perspective is a business one, they have signed a contract and are honouring it.

The real criminal here is the organizer - aka the FIA. They have given in to the demands (or else they will pay a possibly huge penalty) and risked the lives of their event participants. Greed over reason, perhaps? They might lose Bahrain as a race destination not just for this year, but forever if they had backed out yet again...and this means a whole load of $$$$ sprouting wings and flying away from the FIA and Bernie. This decision has been made so the cash flow doesn't get interrupted.

This race should NEVER have been allowed to happen, but it has. F1's taken a hammering, and I just hope the race weekend goes according to plan with no attacks. Lets face it, how do you guarantee something like this? I won't be surprised if anything happens during the weekend, that's for sure.
