Umm... it seems that Mecha's answered it several times... Jesus said "Follow the old laws". The old laws say "kill people". Hence, Jesus says "Kill people". Period. If A implies B and B implies C, A implies C. Logic. Though it's not common in the Bible, it works wonders in real life...

Economic stability generated by the erroding of social stability => instability in economy. If you have an unstable group of people or nation, the economy that rests on them will become unstable. Doesn't affect anything?? WHAT ARE YOU ON??? Tell me, in the plainest language possible, how...

Though I can see obvious cases where the death penalty is a near-necessity, I would personally argue against the death penalty, primarially on the grounds that death is irreversable, wheras lifelong imprisonment (while it can't be completely reversed) can still allows the person some life if it...

On April 11th, 2002, the CIA supported and led a coup to overthrow the democratically elected President Hugo Chavez. It installed a non-voted-for right-wing businessman Pedro Carmona in his place. While briefly in power, Carmona announced a number of decrees. These measures cost Carmona...

Indeed, I'm quite curious about this one as well. Like CptStern I can think of far too many "evil" righties, but who are these "evil" lefties we hear so much about? I can't name a single one...

Wow! Very impressive! 20,000-40,000 is a terrific size for a rally. Our rally today in Vancouver demanding "Free the Cuban 5" only numbered around 500. My opinion on the theme of the march - "Time To Go", getting troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan - is hell yes. Troops out now.

I totally agree that Bush deserves an enourmous amount of criticism (and, as has been pointed out several times before, a large amount of lead :sniper: :sniper: ) for his actions invading Iraq, invading Afghanistan, threatening Iran, threatening numerous other countries, imposing his views of...

I think we're far into the dark side already...

Umm... if i'm reading this right, you are saying that Chavez should not be saying that Bush is evil, and then right after that you are saying (essentially) that Bush is evil. Huh? Since when has Chavez used religion to justify his actions? I wasn't aware that Chavez was overtly religious at...

Nice! I love it! I'm glad that people are getting more inventive about the ways they protest. My sole critique of this technique is it's only one person. It would be much better if it could spread with more popularity. (Though, i guess, that's exactly what he's hoping for). Good...

A lot of Christians in the community where I live seems to be in denial that Christianity has anything to do with terrorism. Frankly, I think the muslim community takes their religion too seriously, anything that casts a bad light on their religion they go crazy but with other religions you...

No prob CptStern! :) Well argued!

Hmm... and I suppose I shouldn't believe anything from reputable sources on the internet? Shouldn't believe anything on the internet? Well, then I'll choose to not believe you. On the contrary, I would tend to argue that CptStern has provided clearly thought-out, rational arguments, which...

Ditto. Though it would be cool to have gills...

Agreed. It's very unfortunate that a large momentum was lost at the percieved summation of the Iraq war, and that not many anti-war coalitions could make the jump from anti-war to anti-occupation. BS like this can't go on for too much longer. I hope...

Yeah, I want my gills damnit!!

I agree, the Taliban probably deserved to be ousted. However, since the Taliban were in power for years before the US invaded, it is clear to me that the US did not invade to throw out the Taliban merely because they were bad rulers. The U.S. didn't even demand that Taliban step down when...

Stating belief is fine. Not accepting scientific theories possibility is illogical. But that's my belief. ;) --- I'm hoping not to offend anyone here, but in my opinion, if there was a god, and he was all-mighty and omnipotent, I think it would be selling him short to think that he...
