    I'm just stealing a page from the Balbus playbook. You've avoided if not failed to address my statements as well. Churchy republicans vs churchy christians for example.

    But if you want me to go that route, I will.


    Of course you did. Because Christian societies and nations that burn witches no longer exist. So you try to find an easy way out by providing examples of militias. LOL





    Such as...?


    Nope. Not all Muslims. Never said that.

    Just 1/3 of them

    In your home land no less

    And 2/3 of that same group said they won't even report the warnings of a potential terrorist attack either.

    I'm not hiding behind Attilla the Liberal. He just happens to share the same opinion as I do with Islam. I figured since I'm a heartless libertarian, maybe you'd be more apt to acknowledge what a fellow liberal may have to say about it.

    But it seems to me, that since people like you and MeAgain will defend a religion like Islam and the barbaric anti-liberal traditions that many of its followers still hold onto. Then I'm more of a progressive liberal than both of you combined.

    [SIZE=12pt]This is what I was trying to express earlier about some people been unable to debate honestly [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=12pt][/SIZE]
    [SIZE=12pt]This is a complete perversion and distortion of my argument – if you were in school and this was a test - you flunked it.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=12pt]So I’ll give you another chance to read what has been said and explain your thinking using quote where appropriate and see if you can do better second time around.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=12pt]Good luck, your time begins….now.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=12pt][/SIZE]
    [SIZE=12pt]Oh my poor six - As such what?[/SIZE]

    But only then :p

    And... I don't see them defending barbaric anti-liberal traditions. I see them criticizing and countering unnuanced statements, which you in return portray as mollycoddling and/or pandering to this horrible organized religion ;) and its followers that no one with a right mind should be defending. But islam (as most othergroups, religions and ideologies :p) is multifaceted, and this most certainly also counts for its followers...

    I just watched Wilders rambling in Vienna awhile ago where he declares the west is at war with islam (not fundamentalist islam or extremists, no: islam as a whole). It's stuff like this why a lot of our fellow westerners, a-religious and not eager to live in any religion dominated nation, are still gonna counter unnuanced bullshit that makes it sound islam is a threat to the world in ANY form, not just the extremist fundamentalistic forms or under sharia law. This is probably because they realize big groups of people or a nation can also be hate (or fear) dominated and fundamentally retarded without being islamic or subject to another organized religion.

    Let me be clear, I will defend the right of any person to practice any religion as long as they do it in a peaceful and lawful manner.
    I can form distinctions between religious dogma and texts, practices and traditions, tenets and the way they are implemented.

    You will have to be specific when you say I defend anti-liberal traditions as you are making a broad statement and I'm sure there are some liberal ideals I might question, just as there are certain Conservative ones I might embrace.

    I really don't know what Progressive Liberalism has to do with religion and barbaric religious practices, I would think both Progressive Liberals and Conservatives would be against that.
    Progressivism is about about having the government establish laws to help ease social distress, as championed by Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
    Liberalism is about the same things as Progressivism with the addition of believing the government can actually correct social distress with programs such as FDR's New Deal.

    Neither really addresses religion unless religion places itself in contradiction to those ideals.

    Puff, I'm pretty sure witches and gays have no life in a country like Uganda for a large part because of christians. It's factual. Easy to verify
    But does that really matter in regards to this thread. What's the point in making this discussion about a competition which organized religion oppresses the most people? If islam is worse would that mean much to a gay in Uganda who's life is made impossible by some retarded christians :p Or in regards to this thread topic? If its all about a statement from Balbus that all christians are something specific like rightwing... i think you're going at it in a fruitless way as well. Besides that most regulars as well as any reader of this thread knows he didn't ment it like you put it...so not just fruitless, its also pointless :p

    Where am I lying? When I said several posts ago:

    "If you took a deep look at how advocates for Sharia Law treat women, homosexuals, and atheists. You'd find that you have more in common with those churchy republicans you hate so much than you do with people like Linda Sarsour."

    You said:

    Which you totally avoided my statement about churchy republicans. Yes these churchy republicans are mostly (if not entirely) christian, but I'm not calling all Christians republican. And yes, while christianity has it's regressive traditions that are better left behind. Islam lags even further behind.

    Seriously? Did you not read your quoted statement above what I posted? You can't expect me to believe you're THAT simple...

    In your own words you said:

    The question still remains. Such as which countries? A guerrilla militia does not count as a country but nice try.


    The western world can curb the Muslim problem by putting an end to mass Islamic immigration. Along with stopping forceful wars and interventionism with middle eastern nations. Stop meddling with their governments and propping up dictators just to tear them down. Etc.

    The way I've always seen it is that conservative people value traditions much more than liberals. Sometimes it can include the traditions that are inhibiting society from advancing forward. Needless to say I find this to be a negative trait about many conservatives. People who value religion are often very traditional people as well.

    The Christians who are still bitching today about gay marriage are those people who are trying to conserve a tradition and a belief that is inhibiting society from advancement. Likewise the Muslims who are advocating Sharia Law are the conservatives who are holding onto a very barbaric tradition that is inhibiting their societies from advancement. Whereas it is a liberal idea to break free from traditions that are holding society back.

    So, if you and Balbus are in fact defending the Muslims who wish to hold true to their outdated traditions as the UN imports more of these people with regressive ideologies into liberated western nations, and I'm calling against it. Then that would make me more of a progressive liberal than both of you.

    I was being facetious, channelling Ripley in Aliens.

    But really have you seen the level of what is called debate on the right of politics in America today – on the one hand you have people that would defend Trump even if he took a shit on the floor of the Senate then wiped his arse with the original US constitution and on the other you have those with a view of the world that is so simplistic that if they were children you would have kindergarten teachers patting them on the head and calling them ‘special’ while sending worried letters to the parents. (I mean LOL just look above)

    I’m sure I’m not the only one in this world looking on at the American rights dishonestly and ill-inform but gleeful ignorance and despairing.

    Some may seem simplistic, but for example, Isaac Asimov never pontificated, but he was a genius, now wasn't he?... ;)....but lol, to your taking a shit and all of that. I hear you......It is a blind following.

    Now we've shot down a Syrian warplane, pissing off Russia. And Otto Warmbier has died, further escalating tensions with North Korea.

    To clarify, I'm upset with Syria and North Korea for their actions. Still, a peacetime Trump is bad enough, are we going to get a wartime Trump? And is war what it will take for Trump supporters to wake up, or is war what they want?

    That crazy little bastard in NK is going to have his war, sooner or later. It has to be his mission- look at how he treats his own people, they just get by, barely while his military struts around and firing missiles.
    Yes I'm talking about Kim-Jong Goon.

    Maybe some would be happier if we accepted NK refugees too, and made friends with NK while he builds up his arsenal...maybe with our money!! Sound Familiar? You bet it does, that's what Obama did with Iran.
    That's what happens when you have a radical dem. in office. And our Republican house members sitting on their hands not supporting Trump, there's some homemade Liberty for ya.

    A guy leaves office after ten trillion more in debt, plus interest, and ignored American Soldiers in Benghazi (oh yeah, that pile under the rug is kinda big, no!) and people are screaming at what Trump MIGHT do? HAHAHA

    Get real scratchy. If George Carlin were still around he'd be tearing Trump a new one daily. As for North Korean refugees, we have taken some in, but not so many as it's so difficult to escape from that prison country. And the Republicans support Trump too damn much, putting party above country. If you don't think Trump is a gawdawful president then you're not paying attention.

    What am I not paying attention to? The first week in office the man straightened up past-Obama fuck-ups like a happy whore in a gang bang party.
    I was being sarcastic about taking NK refugees...[​IMG]

    So tell me, what pray tell am I not paying attention to? The Republicans do not support Trump as they should, because he's an outsider. I figured you knew that, and found it funny. You aren't paying attention!

    The media? Gawddam right I don't listen to them, our media is as lopsided as Michelle Obama's undies...bulge and all.

    You really believe that mass crock of shit that those Hillary lickers throw at our population on a daily basis?

    Michael Flynn got ran out of office on hot rails for holding a "HI, nice to meet you" conversation toward a Russian.

    But Hillary Rodham Clinton can sell Uranium to the Russians like she did a few years ago and no one in the media bats an eye. So now, is there media bias?

    If our Elected Officials truly care as much about the citizens who elected them, as the country they are supposed to be representing, they'd better get off the toilet and co-operate with President Donald Trump and help him finish draining the swamp. or they might become part of the swamp. 2018 is not far away...some of them may not be back.

    As for George Carlin, he was a comedian. I have no say over what message someone chooses to convey with his persona. But it was on the mark.

    First week in office:
    Lied about the size of the inaugural crowd.
    Lied about the rain stopping at his inauguration.
    Lied about millions of illegal voters.
    Lied about investigating the illegal voters.
    Started a feud with Mexico.
    Lied about sending federal troops into Chicago.
    Lied about the crime rate in Philadelphia.
    Lied about the immigration rate from Mexico.
    Lied about the United States giving away its wealth to foreign countries.
    Lied about the number of jobs the XL pipeline would generate (28,000 verses the actual 3,900 during the building, 35 after it's done).
    Used unsecured Android phone.
    Was sued for violating the Emoluments clause.
    Claimed it was illegal to be registered to vote in two states, it's not.
    Proposed a border tax to pay for "the wall" instead of Mexico paying for it.
    Supported torture.
    Signed "illegal" executive orders to ruin the Trans Pacific trade deal (a meaningless gesture), reinstate two controversial pipeline projects, take federal action against sanctuary cities, cracked down on illegal aliens, supported building the wall and reneged on Mexico paying for it (were is that btw?), ordered the end of Obamacare and then warned the Republicans not to do it, censored international organizations that talk about abortions, initiated a hiring freeze (lost jobs!), did away with the requirement for seven years between military service and department of defense service, and signed an illegal Muslim travel ban starting chaos at international airports and triggering an outpouring of lawyers offering pro bono services to fight it. On Saturday it was stopped by a lawsuit.
    His team stated the White House has "alternative facts", labeled the press "the opposition party", threatened the New York Times, and restricted main line media from coverage.
    He locked the head of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff out of meetings and put Steve Bannon in their place.
    He placed a phone call to his buddy Putin.
    He insulted the Australian Prime Minister.
    He ordered a plan to defeat ISIS...where is that?????
    Froze all new regulations...good or bad.
    And he blamed the media for his attack on our own intelligence community.

    He are the things he said he would do on day one, but didn't:
    Failed to initiate mandatory minimum sentences for criminals returning to the U.S.
    Failed to eliminated gun free zones.
    Failed to eliminate two regulations for every new regulation.
    Failed to initiate a 5 year ban on lobbying after leaving the Senate.
    Failed to initiate a lifetime ban on executive officials lobbying for foreign governments.
    Failed to cancel every "illegal" executive order made by Obama.
    Failed to initiate term limits.
    Failed to renegotiate NAFTA.
    Failed to label China a currency manipulator.
    Failed to cancel U.N. payments for climate change programs.

    What a mess, he's a happy whore alright.
    Flynn lied about the meetings.
    Clinton was part of a panel and couldn't even vote on the deal.
    The uranium never left the U.S.

    Puff




    Not a film buff them LOL

    “channelling Ripley in Aliens.”

    You see it’s about warning not been taken which I thought was apt for this thread

    In the film Ripley is trying to warn ‘the company’ about the aliens but they don’t believe her and she comes out with the line ‘Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away’ or some such.

    The moral is that they should have listened to her but didn’t and it all ends with a big nuclear explosion – I truly hope the present situation does do the same.
