My problem is you assuming millions of innocent people killed. It would be tens of thousands.
That's your problem and not the thermonuclear genocide? OK.
In the meantime, Mecca and Medina have a combined population of 2.5 million.

Your solution is to kill millions of innocent people?? Why am I not surprised? Evidently, your solution to terrorism is to become a much worse terrorist yourself. I think some Christian conservatives are so hung up on the notion that *some* Muslims call their religion the religion of peace, they are willing to kill millions over it. Christianity is the religion of peace dammit and we are willing to wipe out anyone innocent or guilty to prove that.    Yep! "Hey, Religion of Peace! We're the Religion of Love, and if you don't do as we say, we will exterminate millions of you!"

i can imagine Hillary doing fairly well against any debater. she is quite skilled at it, and rarely gets frazzled. as to the assertion made about socialism, i think the author here is just repeating unchallenged ideas. China is the most socialist country out there other than North Korea, and they are doing quite well by most measures. if you prefer something more Western to compare to, try Denmark and Finland, both of which are thriving. the latter has the top schools in the world and pays all the way through college. i dunno. we gotta stop saying stupid shit if we want to ever have an honest debate. but clearly the dude in the OP doesn't want to have one. What dude? You're comparing China to North Korea? on the socialist/communist spectrum.? yes. why shouldn't i? there are really only FIVE communist states left since the fall of the USSR. if you think that is stupid, explain WHY, because i don't. |

Nobody here is stupid. Some just might think differently. Speak to the subject under discussion, not to the intellect (or perceived lack of same) of the other poster(s).

No. Thanks for asking. I appreciate that he is bringing a number of issues to the public's attention. Should he actually be president? Ummm....no. Doesn't have the qualifications in my eyes. If he goes independent, splits the vote and Hilary wins...it will be the last eight painful years all over again.  Am really open to hear the bitches regarding the last eight years..specific things that were done that really made a difference one way or the other..not just the normal pissnn complaints of he wasn't a citizen...really a closet commie...etc, etc... I believe he got us out of some serious shooting stuff..I know , we are still here and there doing this and that..but if one is a super power, the only one really, some shooten and stuff will occur if for no other reason what we have others want and are not happy with us haven it..thus ...As far as Obama care..believe as many as possible should be covered medically..wasn't that way before and if one knows any loved ones or just well licked ones before Obama care who faced no coverage over loved ones...and how helpless the families were and yourself too as you know you really couldn't afford to help..one wouldn't be so criticle of the coverage today..That it could be tweaked, improved ..?? absolutely and especially if there were more cooperation from opposition..It's gotten to the point, when opposition actually believes same as the opposition does on a topic but still will not support ..I want to go up and slap em silly...hard and hurtful...both sides..no more patience with em at all...Same when opposition leader says most important thing he will do and spend 110% of his time and effort on is to make sure the elected one does not get reelected..{ he did get reelected..Ha..}..no thought of working together as loyal opposition for the good of the country and we had that for eight years..I want to slap some one silly... Ok, I could go on forever but I asked your import so why not spend a bit and post away...love to know the real faults..I may even agree with some... |

Let's not draw conclusions about the tolerance of a whole group of posters, shall we not, Ratchets? I've asked before and I'll ask again. Keep your comments to the matter under discussion and off the posters, singly or in groups, please. Thanks. mmhmm, Politics Moderator |

Some days I'm tempted to go out and actually NOT be tolerant of religion, so Christians would have something to actually complain about... But I don't really have it in me to do so.

You gotta admit, that was a pretty rockin' post though...it's definitely controversial! And it even looks good after getting the quotes to work right . That took a lot of work man, so for the only complaint to be that I said "liberals" instead of "some liberals" is pretty good... My complaint was meant to point out the problem with talking about posters instead of about the subject under discussion. I hope that's what you take away because that's what's going to bring about the deletion of posts, Ratchets. |

I hope that's what you take away because that's what's going to bring about the deletion of posts, Ratchets. Ahh well, I guess you didn't like the post? Because you are drawing a very thin line to it breaking the CoC. You're questioning my post and I'm questioning you're unbiased moderatorship here...
Would you be happy if I changed the comment to "some liberals" instead of "liberals"? I'm willing to work with you if you are with me...and for the record, I never disputed your complaint. You made your complaint and now you're making another one. Do you feel like the post is in violation of the CoC - in which case I will edit it, and have no problem with doing so - or are you complaining because you don't like the post based off of your political views?
You guess wrongly. The post was fine. I'm pretty apolitical so my "political views" don't come into it. Politicians, to me, are crooks - all of them. I commented on the one part that wasn't fine (breaks the "baiting" portion of the CoC) only to let you know that sort of inclusion can result in the entire post being removed. I wasn't making another complaint, either. I was simply making sure my post was read as it was intended to be read. Think of it as a "community service." |

Well, you mentioned it twice and talked about deletion of posts. If it breaks the CoC I'm ok with changing it.
Of course the post was controversial...that's why it's such a good post! At least in my opinion . If it stirs people up to reply then that's a good thing, if it stirs people up to erase it then that's a bad thing.
Thank you for your community service! (I don't mean that as a smart-ass)
You're welcome, Ratchets. I appreciate the appreciation! Seriously, I do try to point out problems when I see them building. I hate to have to remove posts! If it can be stopped before it comes to that point, everybody wins!  |

Ratchets Where do you get that? He isn't OK with them having nuclear weapons. People putting words in our Presidents mouth.  If we do nothing then they keep enriching uranium with no inspections. There is the bomb. Russia and China will sell them materials and rockets. With the proposed agreement we get unlimited inspections everywhere and they give up most centrifuges. If they don't allow inspections then sanctions go back, but maybe they have their money by then? That's scary. Now I'm not sold on it because the money it frees up to support terrorism and your points of their agenda to destroy Israel and the West bother me most.

I think we should all start taking Trump seriously. He is a breath of fresh air...a bit of a joke, maybe, but maybe not.
People are fed up.

I don't see that as baiting. I was stating facts, something some here don't do. If the man didn't say it, then don't say you (not you but the generic you) know what he was thinking. Now that statement may be baiting.

Lets put it this way to end any argument. Can anyone post a credible link to President Obama stating he is OK with Iran having a nuclear weapon?

No, Trump would demand Israel do it for us because, you know, they are our lackey. Or are we theirs? I don't know about lackey, but they are a nation surrounded by other ones who range in their opinion from "I generally dislike them" to "I want to obliterate them and wipe their entire religion off the earth and then rewrite history books to not mention them."
And since we - well mostly England, but we were an ally of England so complicit in the act - set up a state there, we kind of have an obligation to ensure the success of their state.
But let's take a closer look inside the psyche of the man that our President is OK with having nuclear weapons at his disposal...
It doesn't sound like he likes you as much as you like him...
i don't think dem likes him. and why should he? the guy sounds like Rick Santorum.  |

Yep. It goes on the Religious Discussion board. |

Seriously. If nobody were president, Obama would not be missed. It will be a long, long time before we get the awesome combination of corruption, incompetence, ineffectiveness, and effectiveness that we have in Obama. He is beyond a doubt the worst President we've ever had. He's worse than Wilson, Harding, and FDR combined. |
