Connotations is roughly synonymous with intention.. Having said that, what are they,the CONNOTATIONS or INTENTIONS of a FANATIC?? Interesting to have your views,as i know nothing about the subject.

And being a fanatic, or fanatical does not necessarily mean a negative. One can be fanatical about cars, clothes, history, plants, nature, you name it.

So by the looks of it this thread could go either way, discussing the in's and out's of fanaticism in all forms, or just end up being another thread which will just continue the debate of fanaticism and terrorism.

This is why they are called fanatics.

They justify killing others and killing themselves claiming its gods work when really its some politition or Mullah with an agenda who dont want to kill themselves. The use of susceptible, weak minded people is a crime I believe.

My understanding of the thread question relates to connotations of fanaticism....my take on that is Almost Obsessive Enthusiasm, which isnt necessarily a bad thing

The All Blacks are the National team for New Zealand, the Leicester Tigers are a Club side in England and therefore not better than the All Blacks...no-one is at the current moment in time!

We can talk about all aspects of fanatism,icluding religious fanatism,as long religious fanatism, does not monopolize the thread.

Occasionally but I prefer to listen to it on the radio or go and see a live match, then you really get to soak up all the atmosphere, it is just incredible. Especially sitting in the stand where the diehard fans are.
