    Not Judaism, Israel; not parity, using religion as an excuse to do something unsavory. In case you misread it, the point was "Israel uses Judaism as an excuse to oppress Palestinians" not "Israel is just as bad as Al-Qaeda". If that upsets you too much, substitute "IRA" for Israel", "Roman Catholicism" for "Judaism" and "bombing public areas" for "to oppress Palestinians". Now that we have that cleared up, why should Muslims be scrutinized more heavily than other groups, as licketysplit argues? Statistically they aren't the most likely to commit terrorist attacks(at least here in the US), the vast majority of Western Muslims seem peaceful enough(this thread is even about Muslims speaking out against terror), and that whole "innocent before being proven guilty" bit. If you believe that Muslims should be scrutinized because they happen to share the same religion with violent lunatics, what about other groups? Since Jews have committed more acts of terrorism in the US than Muslims, we(the US) would statistically discover more terror plots of Jews were monitored than Muslims. Would it be OK for the US to monitor and scrutinize Jews, or more prudently Latinos, because a few(relative to the general population) individuals from those groups have committed acts of terror in the name of their respective group? I suppose one having a bomb could be a way to encourage dialogue, not the positive kind however.

    I drank a lot of alcohol and am now at the point where I want to sleep but can't.

    Jews have carried out slightly more acts of terrorism than Muslims(who are just ahead of the Communists) in the US actually, while Latinos have carried out the most. Keeping Hispanics, Jews, and Extreme Left-Wing groups under surveillance would statically detect more terrorist attacks than monitoring Muslims, should we do that? Yet they can't form political parties that don't recognize Israel as a Jewish state, there is unequal funding for Palestinian Israeli education and other services despite paying the same amount of taxes, and less constitutional rights for non-Jews(apparently religion is marked on ID, which must be carried at all times). About 240 years ago a certain group had similar representation, and I don't think they were very fond of it. Care to guess how that turned out? Funny thing is, the vast majority of Muslims don't seem to do that either. Scrutinizing Muslims for because of the actions of a few is like scrutinizing small-government conservatives because of Timothy McVeigh.

    Yes the thread is about Islam, specifically about Muslims speaking out against using Islam as an excuse for violence. I don't see why the majority of a people should be scrutinized for the actions of a few. Caucasians shouldn't be monitored more heavily for insanity and stockpiling arms because a few individuals decided to go on killing sprees. What about Judaism? Israel is practically running an apartheid state, guess what they use an excuse? I don't see you clamoring for Jews to condemn the actions of Israel. Would you argue that creating laws designed to oppress people is a decent method?

    Religion. You keep assuming I'm coming from an extreme right wing stance when I'm not. I'm against dogma and untruths that are inherent in all three Abrahamic faiths. Why do Muslims feel the need to protect and defend the true image of Islam anyway? One would think an omnipotent being could take a little criticism. Of course what that statement implies is that any vocal opponents of their faith will be met with active opposition. A stance not compatible with western democratic values. That is true of all religions, so why single out Islam? Why do Christians feel the need to protect and defend the true image of Christianity anyway? Why do Jews feel the need to protect and defend the true image of Judaism anyway? I assume the answer is something along the lines of "because our faith is important to us and we find it insulting to see it dragged through the mud". Oh and spoiler, I'm an Agnostic.

    Check for dust on the fans, that can cause them to be less efficient. Or make sure the power source isn't complete **** and all cables are in good condition, ibuypower delivers a pretty **** product from what I've read.
  7. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Yeah, Christians sure agree on the true image of Christianity, just look at how well Mormons are received by Southern Baptists! God forbid we assume that some people may have no interest in Jihad because a group that follows their religion does have that desire.

    Console gamer, feh! Interesting sewing machine in the background though. Her floor seems reasonably clean. So nothing like Felicia Day?

    I wouldn't say most of us are that uptight, just an incredibly uptight group that has time to protest bull****. Isn't that essential to being English?

    How does one go about purging foreign invaders from a public forum? Does it have something to do with peni5s?
  12. PK htiw klaw eriF
    By that logic, shouldn't we be integrating into the culture of several immigrant groups?
  13. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Wat? Well if we follow the logic about wanting immigrants to integrate, the colonists should have integrated with the Indians and adopted their culture.
  14. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Well, I've been up since 06.30 and not bumped into a single fascist. Good to know they're seeing someone.

    California isn't REAL America, with Boy Scouts, apple pie, no filthy minorities polluting the streets, and family values. California is a cesspool filled with non-whites, ethnic food, science, and tolerance. No if you will excuse me, I will purge all the filthy invaders who have been corrupting this land since they arrived, except for Anglo Saxons, because their invasion doesn't count.

    Wals, you always have the most cheerful news.

    Taking a break from work to eat lunch. Going to class tonight, so no drinking

    Cooking meth.
  19. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I would hope so.

    I would say for lowlife virgin reprobates, but I'm not in an **** mood at the moment.

    No naked Cadegund. Elves. Classes besides Mage are useful. XP isn't awarded everytime I slice up a mook. Not turn-based.

    Consider it preparation for dealing with an infant.

    I haven't been able to get into anything lately. Thinking of trying to play through something nostalgic, but find myself getting bored quickly.
  24. PK htiw klaw eriF
    This makes the romance threads look good.

    Hey guys.... http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/64525-real-wages-and-inflation/ I think we would be better served discussing this without tales of Ros' escapades interrupting.
