Who draws lines in sand, anyhow?
I mean, the wind blows and that ***is gone anyhow so unless you remember exactly where you drew it, and draw it again, and again, and again...
Stupid idiom in the first place. It isn't meant to be a permanent delineation, but an momentary delineation/declaration.
You may be reading too much into my deliberately concrete interpretation. Or not enough.
Or...something.
*** is it time to go home yet? Don't set it in stone.

Remember kids. Jesus may have been a socialist, but God was a Libertarian, because he made himself. Bootstrap this! -God I didn't know that God was part of the 1%.
I mean, that's the rhetoric people assume us rich folks state... How could God not be part of the 1%? That would put limits on God!
But wait, if God is part of the 1%, how can he be part of the 99%? That would put limits on God!

I hate when we get at that point that everything starts to evolve around being politically correct.
You just cant generalise Islam, muslims learn the interpretation of the koran by their imams, very few make up their own mind about it. I know muslims who never pray....but they dont eat pork
I know muslims who eat pork...but who dont drink
I know muslims who eat pork, never pray and who do drink
I dont know any muslims who live by all the islamic rules
My mom calls herself a catholic, she never goes to church, yet she still whines my head off bout my kids not being baptized.
just trying to say, Its not the religion which is the problem, its the extreme ideas that are being planted in minds.
I dont think bombing is a solution, it just means big collateral damage which just makes future generations even more bitter. It's not really a matter of interpretation, the Quran literally says to kill unbelievers.
Here are some of those passages from the Quran:
"Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them." Koran 2:191 "Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood." Koran 9:123 "When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them." Koran 9:5 "Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." Koran 3:85 "The Jews and the Christians are perverts fight them."... Koran 9:30 "Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam" Koran 5:33 "Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water melt their skin and bellies." Koran 22:19 "The unbelievers are silly urge the Muslims to fight them." Koran 8:65 "Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." Koran 3:28 "Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur'an." Koran 8:12 "Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." Koran 8:60

So is the attack in San Bernardino considered IS/IS/IL's first attack on American soil then?

US investigators believe that one of the shooters pledged to ISIS. I wonder if that's true or just to place the terrorism label on this event. Judging by the arsenal they had collected I would guess that they had prepared for an act of terrorism but for some reason decided to make it personal instead.
Seeing as the attack was targeted to his workplace I don't think it can be called terrorism. Of course this won't stop pundits and politicians from labeling it just that. What would require it to be terrorism then ? A notarized letter confirming it ? Randomness.

I'm not afraid of a religion that say's that I MUST be beheaded... Nope, not afraid at all. If you are Christian or Jewish you will not be beheaded. You have the choice of converting or paying taxes.
If you are a non Moslem Arab you have the choice of converting or being beheaded.
Anyone else is fair game for whatever.

Koran 8:60 A verse in the koran does not stand by itself, you need to put the sunnah next to it and the haddith, no non radicalised koran teacher will say the word of the koran is the absolute law. Many interpretations are possible of these verses but true, i'm no expert.

Mathematically, God is closer to infinity than 0, but in the literal sense he would be closer to 0. Split the different and just add infinity + 0 and divide by 2.

Mathematically, God is closer to infinity than 0, but in the literal sense he would be closer to 0. Infinity cannot be reached though.
So, mathematically and literally God is closer to zero than anything.

I think the point is, god would be an imaginary number anyhow.

Everyone is literally bending over backwards to avoid that today. This media frenzy of not calling this thing terrorism is just jaw dropping...

Ho-lee-crap. Yeah, but the news I saw and KN posted before, the woman/wife "pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in a Facebook post the day of the attack."
So to not call it terrorism makes so sense, even if that was only her motivation. Even my hardcore Obama supporting progressive liberal friends are calling it a terrorist attack.

a 2012 congressional action Mind sharing?
There you go. 4 or more shootings could mean 2 cops and two gang members firing BB guns at each other. Just a tool used by progressives to create a false equivalence to life in America and how it relates to situations like yesterday.

Well, now they will say it's terrorism but it's ISIS terrorism and of course like Hillary said the other day, the Islamic state has nothing to do with "the religion of peace".
Still jaw-dropping.

It is seriously just impossible to get through to you.
Yes, ISIS and many other terrorists use fundamental Islamic tenets as a platform for disgusting, brutal acts. And they should be appropriately punished for doing so.
That does not mean the entire religion is to be condemned as terroristic in nature.
This is why people keep trying to explain the KKK and Christianity link and similar items to you and the people agreeing with you, but analogies are lost on you, and none of you get it and you keep flailing and jabbering on and on about us defending terrorists and people attacking Christianity.
You don't. Get it.
You're like the Joe-***-McCarthy of FFXI.

And only for the purposes of that document.
Why does a shooting only count if someone dies? Explain without hyperbole please.

Don't worry the kids will be safe now:
Quote: 
It's come to this. We've now had so many mass shootings that entrepreneurs see space in the market for a bulletproof blanket, made specifically to shield small children from gunfire.
The Bodyguard Blanket, made by a company called ProTecht, is a bulletproof 5/16-inch pad, made from the same materials used by our military, except it's for kids. They even come in different sizes.
If mass shootings weren't such an integrated part of our culture, you'd think this was an SNL skit or an Onion article. Kids are being gunned down in their 1st grade classrooms, but what can we do? No we're not talking about gun laws, just arm your children with these bulletproof shields, you'll sleep easier at night.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
