ah yes, everything is the Jews fault somehow. of course, i don't see how whast going on in Nigeria with christians being killed is the Jews fault when, near as i can tell, theres a statistically insignificant amount of Jews in the country.

and columbine is relevant how to that comment? and keep in mind, you wantt o mention the Oklahoma city bombing....that was fertilizer and a rental truck. anyway, the idea is more that the gov't has limits to it. You can easily kill off desenting voices if they can't fight back, so...

and what about scapegoats? why are they getting turned in by people who don't want their hands chopped off? if those people aren't involved, they should, in theory, have no reason to fear the legal system as it will supposedly be accurate.

see, i can think something is wrong WITHOUT supporting people acting violently though. Thats the thing...how clear is that difference? Not all, but too many, even if not part of violence, seem to have an attitude that its understandable that they're burning embassies, or the recent news out of...

well, wait, are we talking about a case where a whole society facing poverty, like third world countries, or are we talking about just the lowest classes within a given society? as the two are very different

i was being sarcastic with that particular statement....drug legislation doesn't work. drugs being illegal hasn't stopped them from being fairly easy to obtain

i care about no one beyond myself as i am the only one that counts.

ah, but still, guns would be scarcer in D.C., in theory. it also brings up the question of how reliable fully banning can be. obviously, the u.s. is at a disadvantage with its two large borders, ESP the border with Mexico. But I mean, you can rely on people to not have what they aren't allowed...

i figured god had a sense of humour that reflects his sick and twisted personality, if he does in fact exist

Um....guns brandished around in public in the U.S.? where did you get that idea, exactly? and there's a lot of factors that lead to extra violence in the united states...racial tensions in inner city areas are one of the big things. For example....Washington D.C. has strict gun...

yeah thats more along what my original point regarding theory was....religion claims to say what is right, science presents the best possible theory that explains observations.....but yeah, tangental so i'm now wearing a pin of the danish flag around as sign of support for the danish...

wait, was that in support of steady-state or in support of big bang?

erawamai, would you also propose a law that, say, women can't struggle when being raped? cuz then they're trying to enforce laws that rape is illegal by preventing it? really the only one that does anything about it should be the gov't, right? should people not be allowed to lock doors because...

when you bring in evolution, also realise that SCIENTISTS don't say its 100% accurate and explains everything. It, like the big bang and gravity, are all theories that are considered to be the best we've got atm and better than any other theories. Religion tends to work in absolutes

about death and stuff...from an agnostic viewpoint....the part i do feel fairly sure of is that there is not the concept of a good god that has a hand in what happens on earth. one of the big reasons for that was when I was 12, a friend of mine was murdered. Drive-by shooting, random crime, no...

i accept freedom of speech....when people have said negative things i felt were wrong about people i care about (friends/family/etc) i'll argue the point and defend them, definitly. but i've never said they should be prohibited from saying what they said, and certainly would never be violent.

so, um, what do they print the quran on?

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper and the protesters in...Sudan i believe...that were chanting for bin laden to attack denmark? bin Laden, if no other reason, is tied to islam simply because he justifies himself with it

on not-that-bright's comment about what if other people had guns when someone goes on a shooting spree...thats actually what's ended several incidents in the u.s., including at least two school shootings. one at a college where other people got their guns from their cars and were able to get the...

you give me a religion that explains why light has a dual wave/particle nature and i'll consider it
