1) In this case, it empowers their moral and helps give their existence meaning. The symbolic act of their goals being achieved. 2) I respectfully disagree that this threat is entirely out of proportion. Currently, we are facing the full might of the...  [Read More]

American here. I don't give two $*#* about where the Mosque is. I don't care if it's at Ground Zero. I don't care if it's a million miles away. Our country's values are such that anyone has the right to express their religious views, without persecu...  [Read More]

Odd, as the forms required me to get a signature from a religious leader. There was also that court case where the Boy Scouts were allowed to not let in atheists, too. Weird. Just because they're allowed to discriminate doesn't mean they do everywhe...  [Read More]

^This. My experience with Christianity is actually similar to your's, Tysyacha. My parents didn't orginally go to church, so I grew up very secularized. Then, we went to church, mostly due to the fact that I needed a signature from a religious leader...  [Read More]

In Japanese culture, bowing is a formal greeting and show of respect. He is simply doing as polite and formal Japanese protocol requires. He may have bowed a bit far but honestly, unless you have a protractor, who knows the correct angle to avoid off...  [Read More]

Actually, I've not exaggerated anything. I pointed out above that it's impossible with certitude to determine how widespread this is. We both agree that it's inappropriate. The one jumping to hyperbole was you w/Jesus Camp. When Jesus Camp makes it's...  [Read More]

The difference is that the Obama crap is being done in the public school system and had it been about Jesus or some other religious figure there would have been a hue and cry about "Seperation of Church and State" from the left, esp atheist...  [Read More]

Again, you're using a blanket statement that is routed in propaganda and stereotyping rather than fact. Don't you get it? You can't say "It's hypocritical because conservatives do it too." No, they don't! I just devoted a whole post explain...  [Read More]

Just because this happened in a public school does not mean it is government-approved. Unless this is widespread throughout the public school system, this is simply a deplorable act done by a very bad teacher. This incident hardly screams child indoc...  [Read More]

'When you get into standard units, this ability is lost.' Bad wording. I meant that inches, feet, yards, and miles are not as easy to work with as meter/centimeters/kilometers. These units of measurement work on factors of ten where standard America...  [Read More]

I'm wasn't actually suggesting that you would actually use metric time. I know, I just wanted to explain the fallacy before someone who doesn't know better runs with it. Obviously it makes no sense to have 60 sec, 72 min, 20 hours; but it can work...  [Read More]

The units may change, but whatever you use them for don't change if you were to switch to metric time, making a right angle be 100 instead of 90 degrees. All you have to do is remember to translate the integers from any alternate system back into wha...  [Read More]

So in order to reduce the threat of gun-toting individuals, we should escalate the threat by loosening the regulations so that law-abiding citizens can legally carry military-grade M-16 assault rifles? Just assume criminals will buy MAC-10's and so a...  [Read More]
