how bout this, don't expect people to respect Muslim beliefs when Muslims don't respect the beliefs of others? there's a difference between muslims simply saying that they are offended and muslims saying that they have the right to not be exposed to things that would offend them. you don't...

oh, he fabricates a fair amount of stuff. granted, bowling for columbine made some points, but on the same note, theres also stuff in there thats just innaccurate and misleading in there. with bowling for columbine, for example...you can't go into a bank and get a gun the way he did.

oh, michael moore is just dangerous to use as a source ever. he sort of went insane and lost all credibility at this point

Why's that 15-year-old pregnant?

i'm aware of the claim against them, just that its tough to get the actual statistics relating to it...most sources have a bias one way or the other, so that has to be considered and i don't think they're main issue...least, i don't hear them come up much. bigger issue about this is san...

i'm not sure how much of a loophole there is, really. mostly cuz everything i find has some level of spin, and tends to not give some straight statistics

all of those are parts of gun laws in the u.s., and i've not heard any of them questioned. You have to be 18 to get a rifle or such, and 21 for a handgun, i believe, at least in california. you can't own or possess a gun if you're convicted felon, and there is some sort of mental health thing, i...

you're missing my point. i'm not saying that he has to be equally offended by all of them my point is if you're going to assume the worst cartoon is speaking in absolutes about ALL muslims in most literal sense, then you should, in theory, be doing that with all of them.

depends on the religion. from a social impact viewpoint...there are some religions i respect a lot....Mormons would be top of my list on that, actually. i think it falls to more how religion is used than the nature of religion itself, and unfortuintly it seems to be misused too much nowdays

ahh...yes, Bowling for Columbine. Michael Moore complains about guns, then hires ARMED body guards. freaking hypocrite. and yeah, there is a LOT of issues that lead to violence....a ton of it, for example, is racial issues. Example: there's been rioting breaking out between blacks and...

Re: RU486 will make us muslim well, you're talking an ideal situation, which ignores that they do have practical purposes.....hunting, for example, or protection from wild animals, even before you factor in either recreational use or self-defense from criminals. and....does it count as...

Re: RU486 will make us muslim if someone else has a gun, they tend to get out of there. as they're not out seeeking someone to murder, generally, and they don't want to risk getting shot

Re: RU486 will make us muslim i agree, i mean, by not having it legal, no one has access to it. i mean, just look at how theres no issue with any illegal drugs. australia, does have one big advantage over the u.s., though, in that, like i said before, the u.s. has two very large...

ok, yeah, i grant you that. but i mean, at least its better to put some accountability on them than not. rather have competition in gov't than complacency

no, my question is relevant, because if you make your claim that becuse mohommad was pictured tied to terrorism is clearly an absolute, then so are the other two examples. so do you believe that the cartoons mean all muslims have oranges on their heads and lead donkeys around the desert at...

then again i ask you Jordan, do you also believe the cartoons mean that all muslims have oranges on top of their heads, or lead donkeys around the desert at sunset?

i asked you how you immediately reached the conclusion that the cartoons were intended to refer to all muslims (which you call vilification) and not just point otu a connection between some that use terrorism, and your answer was because it was vilifiying all muslims. do you also believe the...

so, the reason you know they were vilifying the whole religion and not pointing out the connection between the two was because they were vilifying the whole religion?

so, if you agree that islam has become connected to terrorism by numerous events, and that there is a fear in europe that offending islam could get you killed, then why is it unfair to discuss a connection between the two? how is it you immediately say that the cartoon was meant to be in...

yeah, but all they do is link muhommad, and then, through your view, islam, with terrorism. how does it say that islam is BASED upon terrorism rather than simply bring up connections between islam (at least some part, not neccessarily the whole) and terrorism? and what abotu my other two...
