I think it was "I'm fine with nihilsm. It's not a problem. Really. What is nihilism again?"

I doubt there are many murderers who act without motive of some sort or another. Do you think it's important to consider those motives? For a social e...

I don't knit either. I crochet. When this design is finished, I will have defeated baldness...during the winter months anyway. Uh... can't upload. Oh ...

Repeat after me Crankster: "Yes, it's terrible. I wish people would stop hurting each other in that way."

I think it could be argued that Europe used the Middle East to pull itself out of retrogression. It was all kinds of things: swords, fabrics...

Handmade wool rugs. Most of the stuff on my shop right now is wool/silk scarves I stockpiled and was going to sew together into a blanket. I put them ...

One person visited by Etsy shop!!!!! I've got stats!

Imagine that we were able to get our hands on a terrorist who killed people and we try him. Nuremburg is the easiest place to do it. We ask why he did...

I gather you've never been possessed.

Germans went through a crazy time. It's not a good idea to try to understand the German culture by examining that particular era. Why did their sanity...

You're Jewish, aren't you?

I wouldn't say explain. We can find aspects of Islam that are conducive to violence. Islamic terrorism can only be understood by placing it in histori...

Well, I'm so glad we got that settled.

Freakin' good point. Yes. Islam has a problem. I got into studying Islam in an attempt to answer that very question. Why don't we hear the voices of M...

Excellent. So now we can connect that agenda with the recent bloodshed in London. Uh...

Foltz is a real historian. Are you?

So your point is that I'm right to be 25% anti-Semitic. LOL. Arabs are Semitic. LOL.. again.

According to Richard Foltz, Islam primarily spread peacefully. People were attracted to it.

This is where my joke about Jewish assholes comes in handy. In the modern era, nobody has done holocaust and attempt at global take-over like the Germ...

Radical Islam is associated with violence. News flash. Yeeaah... I know that ISIS is recent flash in the pan. You are the one who pointed to ISIS to e...

Yes, there's a connection to Islam. That alone isn't saying much. ISIS is a Johnny-come-lately that PBS's Frontline says is a direct result of GW Bush...

My point is that by connecting the violent actions of a radicalized youth to Islam, you aren't saying much. You admit that you don't really understand...

You are lovely. OK. Hold up. I thought this was an easy point to get past.. you misspoke.. move on. But you're doubling down on this. Only insane peop...

So you just misspoke when it seemed your target was Islam as opposed to radical Islam? I think this is ground zero of the confusion. Some authors use ...

You said "Islam" dude. And then you changed it to: Bolding mine. I'm assuming you're backing down from the former statement? Forget granular. Tell me ...

What I see on both sides of squabbles over Islam is way too much arm-chairing. "My principles force me to conclude x." And I think was just engaging i...

I think Paul Wolfowitz thought Al Qaeda (term coined by the FBI, recall) wanted freedom from corrupt monarchies. He thought they were angry at the US ...

To my mind it makes it less "I represent Islam" and more: "Look at me! I'm a bloody maniac! And now I'm gone!"

I agree that Christianity has an affinity for socialism. Maybe that explains it.

The ant dude! It's not clear to me what any particular Islamist terrorist believes. Is it apocalypticism? I don't spend any time on Islamist web sites...

Maybe, but it's striking that they don't seem to have any clear agenda in the way Mormon terrorists did. Radicalized youths.... who knows why they rea...

Weirdly, there are Christian Communists in Russia.

You're spouting gibberish. Believe it or don't. Just say: "Yes, I guess any religion can be used as an excuse to soak the ground with blood."

Just put the words on a dartboard and string them together as the darts fall.

Judgement is one side and Understanding on the other. Spend too much time at either extreme and you become a nutcase.

I'm actually interested in how you came to this conclusion, but since you've turned radioactive again... nevermind.

I once paced back and forth all night long trying to figure out if the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was moral or immoral. Out of it fell this not...

Seems right to me. The final cause of a heartbeat is to create blood pressure. Final cause answers: for what? It's pervasively used in biology.

I was agreeing with you.

No. It will never be repaid.

The Marshall Plan was specifically intended to get the B. Empire back up and running. There was a bit of a secret crisis in the US government when peo...

I don't share your perspective on the bull. It doesn't even register as art to me. It looks like something from some beer advertisement. Life can some...

The US is $19 trillion in debt. No Marshall Plan for us. :(

There's no percentage in running the show. Crack a history book in your spare time. :)

Britain and France abdicated world leadership after WW2. Maybe it's just time for the US to retire into obscurity?
