Dumbass...WTF do you think just happened?

What an anti-democratic, anti-individual freedom position to hold.
Innocent until proven guilty only works in a court of law. If that was the motto of law inforcement all crime would remain unsolved because all of the suspects would be considered innocent and therefore entitled to be left alone.

Outside of the courtroom everyone should be considered a suspect. Since resources are limited those suspects that best fit the profile should recieve the most attention. Political correctness shouldn't hamper law enforcement's ability to do their job.

Don't think so? How about taking a trip to Iran or visit the Gaza strip and try out some of your Atheist wit. Make fun of them and their God. See how alike we really are.

Change Iran to Israel and you're totally right. You are alike.

I'm not sure how that matters. Those are jurisdictions outside my ability to vote on. How the other guy acts doesn't influence my opinions.

Intolerance exists everywhere, man. Give an inch, take a mile. You Christians probably want the Republic of Gilead.

But yeah, them other places need more atheists to keep things real.

Good point. Or you could have said...

How about taking a trip to certain parts of Mississippi or visit Texas and try out some of your Atheist wit. Make fun of them and their God. See how alike we really are.

No, it doesn't. It just refers to him as a 23-year old neo-nazi.

Also not sure where CalgaryBorn gets the idea that Muslim terrorists can't act independently because they do (despite whatever obscure sectarian claim afterwards).

It's just the most recent litmus test that CalgaryBorn created so that he could keep a desperate grasp on his worldview.

I think it says more about the current state of the world than anything else.

Without the benefit of hindsight, I would argue that Islamic terrorism was the most probable choice.

Do you honestly believe your life would be in danger in Mississipi or Texas?

Yes and you continue to downgrade the significance of Muslim fundamentalism.

Nah, probably not. I have (stunning) blue eyes and milky white skin, and outside of pointless message-board blathering, I don't much talk about supernatural business.

If, however, I had brown skin and brown eyes and was a fundamenalist Muslim, I'd be some kind on nervous strolling around Jackson, Mississippi. Maybe a little less edgy than a white evangelical Christian with a Bible in my fanny-pack on the streets of Tehran, but still, it ain't all that different.

There are religious nutjobs everywhere,(maybe even small town Creston) places like Texas,Louisiana and Mississippi where everyone seems to own a gun is especially frightening.

There should be a 28th constitution amendment...bible thumpers may not own guns!

Back this up Rouge with some facts instead of slinging mud at people. Lets compare the Iranians to the good people of Jackson. You line up the 2010-2011 Iranian gay hanging, mother stoning, Christian/Zoroastrian persecuting butts up against the good people of Jackson and show us they are similar.

Start a new thread. DO IT!


I know you can't.
