I like other cultures - from their own locations. I like my own just fine.
Of course not! Nor should they be allowed to consummate their relationship. You wouldn't want miniature atheists running around, now would you?
Besides, it's discriminatory; I'm always for something politically incorrect.
Nah; they're only going to get divorced a few years later. . .
When conservatives go out, double standards and idiocy comes in.
Of course you are right, Joe; even liberals (as stupid as they may be) must bow down to your infinite wisdom.
Abuse them severely; that's the best way to ensure that they succeed you in the family business [when you are in jail].
Teach them to swear when they are young - you are never to early.
When you go to the store to look for some food that you can discreetly hide away in your deep pockets, teach them (at about the age of two or three) to sneak behind the counters and take money when nobody is looking.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Make sure that they know and understand that they are dumbasses and shall never get anywhere in life - ever!
I don't have HDTV - hell, I don't even have digital! - why would I bother with 3D-TV?
No, I will not agree with those liberal rat bastards!
I will not agree until I can convince them the errors of their ways!
I disagree.
The people here are horrible to debate with. If you disagree, they make it well-known that they think of you as an 'idiot', or some other insult.
I do not sleep at night. I sleep in the early morning hours.
I'm pretty sure that iamdavidh and I have agreed before, and I know that aveskde and I have at least twice agreed.
So it is utterly impossible for them to have done something that you would have liked?
You've no idea how McCain/Palin would have turned out; they may have surprised you...
Of course, you and your idiotic liberalism won't allow you to even consider such a notion.
And did most of those things happen directly because of him, or did it occur incidentally during his administration?
He fixed the whole economy?
Based on how you wrote it, you implied that he did so marvelous a feat single-handedly!
I seriously doubt that; in fact, I'd give greater credence to the idea that he's a reptilian - perhaps the most laughable of all conspiracy theories!
Well, seeing as how the Midas' Touch jingle goes 'Trust the Midas' Touch!' and I most definitely do not trust that rat bastard, I'll agree with you.
Liberals are idiots.
Innocent life = expendable
Guilty party = 'They have rights!!!'
Sure; both would die anyway. Only somebody as stupid as a liberal would say 'No'.
Leather jackets are viewed as an act of rebellion - something which society seems quite adept at lauding. Whereas fur coats are used to keep people warm - in modern society, physical comfort is laughed upon.
To refer to a person as either 'illegal' or 'alien' is highly insulting; thus, it is not politically correct - and we all know how much liberals love political correctness !
Do you have a 'carry permit'? They are required in California.
So, you wanna be a modern-day Robin Hood, eh?
Darfur? Why would I chose Darfur?
I'd wanna live in northern Iceland, away from most people.
Joe, I've gotta dispute you there.
America is what it is today because of liberalism.
Zero Tolerance
Affirmative Action
Political Correctness
That's is a whole lot worse than violence. I'd sooner live in a war zone; at least there I could be free !
So that is why you've got that fattening tummy?
Where'd you find that? I read it a few days ago, but can't remember where; most likely in the Fortean Times.
Despite what happened to him, I still prefer nudity in females - it can be banned for all males, though.
For those of you who are too young, 'cougar' was a slang term for a middle aged woman 'on the lookout' for a male.
I don't think that AndSoccer16 has a sense of humor; do you?
Because there could easily be a portion - a small one, but still existent - of extremist Muslims and you never want that !
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Then, of course, there are the conspiracy theorists who are convinced that this emigration out of Muslim countries is purposeful; eventually, they will 'rule the world' so to speak simply by their sheer numbers.
But the people are not limited from joining. All you must press is 'yes' or whatever option comes up, it's not like you're signing your life away or anything.
I'm a part of his community - what would be wrong if others joined?
A man with a gun will be feared. A man with a good name means nothing to the man who does not know the former's name.
The mere fact that those with hydrocephalus can lead normal lives should be enough to convince one that the brain is highly overrated.
Natural substances have been known to cure or to diminish symptoms/diseases.
My great-great grandmother scratched her leg open during the war - she urinated on it and it got better. That is an example of urine therapy.
But you are one of the few.
If I can control the reader - either intellectually, mentally, emotionally, etc. - then I am much closer to convincing them that I am right.
I know that I shall never convince you, but all show of emotionality on my part is an act to elicit an emotional response from my reader.
I've convinced people using that 'fallacy'.
He totally rejected formal theology and religion- while having no doubt that a higher power existed...
Review of Sidis' biography
"I do commit them for a reason..."
People are extremely fallacious. If I am to convince them of something, I must use a fallacy.
Take, for instance, the 'appeal to the emotions'. I will write an emotional reason to accept what I am saying, even though most who know me believe me not to have emotions.
I am not following you here. This makes no sense. I am not even going to bother to read through the rest of this. The entire response reads as if it is written by some whiney 12 year old. Also, all caps makes you right. Nice logic fail.
Your arguments on here are completely useless. All you do is say 'this is a fallacy' and 'this is a fallacy'. What's the point?
Also, I write in such a manner because it will elicit an emotional response - depending on the reader - from the reader.
that this demographic is radically different from the muslims marching and protesting through the streets of European cities.
I did not say that they were all terrorists; few are. However, they are gaining in numbers. You claimed that they wouldn't read high numbers in America.
On the other hand I might point out that, unless there is a mass exodus of muslims to the U.S. it would take many generations
Well, I did say 'generations' and that they are reproducing at several times the speed of other Americans.
I could also point out that muslims growing up in the U.S. for multiple generations are (once again) far less likely to be similar to the extremists in Europe.
Did we directly state that they were?
STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH!
Maybe I could ask for some actual statistics about birth rates of different demographics since you didn't actually provide any, but instead relied on unsubstantiated stereotypes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
None of the muslims I know have 6 kids in their family so until you give me some evidence I'm gonna have to call bullshit.
The Muslims I'm familiar with do.
Instead I'm going to ask you to stop being so alarmist...I mean the world's gonna end in 2012 anyway, right?
EXACTLY!

Hitler and the Nazis enjoyed widespread support from traditional Christian communities, mainly due to a common cause against the anti-religious German Bolsheviks. Once in power, the Nazis moved to consolidate their power over the German churches and bring them in line with Nazi ideals. The Third Reich founded their own version of Christianity called Positive Christianity which made major changes in its interpretation of the Bible which said that Jesus Christ was the son of God, but was not a Jew and claimed that Christ despised Jews, and that the Jews were the ones solely responsible for Christ's death. Thus, the Nazi government consolidated religious power, using allies to consolidate Protestant churches into the Protestant Reich Church, which was effectively an arm of the Nazi Party.
Dissenting Christians went underground and formed the Confessing Church, which was persecuted as a subversive group by the Nazi government. Many of its leaders were arrested and sent to concentration camps, and left the underground mostly leaderless. Church members continued to engage in various forms of resistance, including hiding Jews during the Holocaust and various attempts, largely unsuccessful, to prod the Christian community to speak out on the part of the Jews.
The Catholic Church was particularly suppressed in Poland because of the Church's opposition to many of Nazi Party's beliefs. Between 1939 and 1945, an estimated 3,000 members, 18% of the Polish clergy[77], were murdered; of these, 1,992 died in concentration camps. In the annexed territory of Reichsgau Wartheland it was even harsher than elsewhere. Churches were systematically closed, and most priests were either killed, imprisoned, or deported to the General Government. The Germans also closed seminaries and convents persecuting monks and nuns throughout Poland. In Pomerania, all but 20 of the 650 priests were shot or sent to concentration camps. Eighty percent of the Catholic clergy and five of the bishops of Warthegau were sent to concentration camps in 1939; in the city of Breslau (Wrocław), 49% of its Catholic priests were killed; in Chełmno, 48%. One hundred eight of them are regarded as blessed martyrs.[77] Among them, Maximilian Kolbe was canonized as a saint.
Protestants in Poland did not fare well either. In the Cieszyn region of Silesia every single Protestant clergy was arrested and deported to the death camps.[77]
Not only were Polish Christians persecuted by the Nazis, in the Dachau concentration camp alone, 2,600 Catholic priests from 24 different countries were killed.[77]
Outside mainstream Christianity, Jehovah's Witnesses were direct targets of the Holocaust, for their refusal to swear allegiance to the Nazi government. Many Jehovah's Witnesses were given the chance to deny their faith and swear allegiance to the state, but few agreed. Over 12,000 Witnesses were sent to the concentration camps, and estimated 2,500-5,000 died in the Holocaust.

Night of 11th-12th July, 1941
"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together....
"The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of
Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are
inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was
introduced into the world by Christianity....
"Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul,
for that evolution was in the natural order of things." (p 6 & 7)
10th October, 1941, midday
"Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against
nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the
systematic cultivation of the human failure." (p 43)
14th October, 1941, midday
"The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When
understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine
will be convicted of absurdity....
"Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity.... And that's why
someday its structure will collapse....
"...the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little
by little....
"Christianity the liar....
"We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in
conflict with the interests of the State." (p 49-52)
19th October, 1941, night
"The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that
it knew nothing of the two great scourges: the pox and Christianity."
21st October, 1941, midday
"Originally, Christianity was merely an incarnation of Bolshevism, the
destroyer....
"The decisive falsification of Jesus' doctrine was the work of St.Paul. He gave himself to
this work... for the purposes of personal exploitation....
"Didn't the world see, carried on right into the Middle Ages, the same
old system of martyrs, tortures, faggots? Of old, it was in the name of
Christianity. Today, it's in the name of Bolshevism. Yesterday the
instigator was Saul: the instigator today, Mardochai. Saul was changed
into St.Paul, and Mardochai into Karl Marx. By exterminating this pest,
we shall do humanity a service of which our soldiers can have no idea."
(p 63-65)
13th December, 1941, midnight
"Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing
more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the
Godhead into a mockery.... ....
"When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and
Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be
the only people who are immunised against the disease." (p 118 & 119)
14th December, 1941, midday
"Kerrl, with noblest of intentions, wanted to attempt a synthesis between
National Socialism and Christianity. I don't believe the thing's
possible, and I see the obstacle in Christianity itself....
"Pure Christianity-- the Christianity of the catacombs-- is concerned
with translating Christian doctrine into facts. It leads quite simply to
the annihilation of mankind. It is merely whole-hearted Bolshevism,
under a tinsel of metaphysics." (p 119 & 120)
9th April, 1942, dinner
"There is something very unhealthy about Christianity." (p 339)
27th February, 1942, midday
"It would always be disagreeable for me to go down to posterity as a man
who made concessions in this field. I realize that man, in his
imperfection, can commit innumerable errors-- but to devote myself
deliberately to errors, that is something I cannot do. I shall never
come personally to terms with the Christian lie."
"Our epoch Uin the next 200 yearse will certainly see the end of the
disease of Christianity.... My regret will have been that I couldn't...
behold ." (p 278)

The Nazi Party, thus Adolf Hitler, persecuted a great many Christians. He 'created' a new denomination of Christianity to further his anti-Semitic agenda; in doing so he warped canonical religious texts into claiming that Jesus was, too, anti-Semitic and not Himself a Jew.
Religion was, and still is, a powerful tool for the politician. Religious voters - which have long made up the majority - would prefer to have a leader who shares their beliefs, thus by claiming to be religious he manipulated the people into giving him his political power.
Prove it.
Deomcracy = rule of the majority.
Westerners have what, 2 kids each? The population is pretty much stable.
Muslims have around half a dozen kids each, at least.
The white population is stable, the Muslim population is growing radically.
They keep immigrating here; they're already making up a sizable portion of the population.
