Now, Leg, you and I both know that people here do not pay attention to what happened in the past, unless it is either the recent past or happened to them directly. Hell, I bet half of the population couldn't tell who was the first to step foot on the moon, or the significance of 07 DEC 1941, or the significance of 17 SEPT 1787, etc. Trying to base that kind of argument is pointless.

My point was clear, don't group everyone who practices a religion under one umbrella. Its ignorant and makes you look absolutely stupid.

I used Christianity as an example because most in this thread can relate to it. I also clearly defended Christianity. You need to calm down.



I'm not exactly defensive, I just hate PC arguments furthered to equate all religions. Christianity has spawned a lot of death. Usually, now, Christianity is simply a label associated with atrocities, and they're not directly related. The same certainly can't be said for Islam, although I have no issue in acknowledging we're talking about a handful of Islamic subsets here.

Now who is building a straw man? The reason I don't view it as a serious threat is because those handling the threat veiw it as serious and I trust their capabilities to handle it accordingly.


What?

Just wow. I'm done.

LDS. No Muslim has ever knocked on my door wanting me to hear about the Book of Mormon.


I must have missed the reports of Mormons beheading reporters and aid workers (or anybody for that matter). No Mormon suicide bombers either. Islamic radicals seem to be stuck in the middle ages.

I was thinking about that the other day. I know a ton of people with a good bit of guns. A few of us, like myself are pretty darn Liberal too and still have a few. Hell I am pro gun control and ammo limits and still have four.



If we face the exact same threats every day on this Earth that police do (like, um, criminals) then what would gun control and ammo limits do to help YOU protect YOUR family? Absolutely nothing. It only limits YOU and not the criminals or the police.

Your argument sounds quite pro-gun to me.

If these frickers start kidnapping and beheading people in Western nations proper, shite is going to start getting real.


Not with our current president it won't.

I am not trying to start a political debate and I honestly won't contribute to one. I voted for Obama once, but now regret it.

Dude gots no guts at all.
