    Absolute Arbiter

    There's a train about to run over the most important person in world. I have a switch that will divert that train but kill 20 entirely unimportant Canadians in the process. What should I do?

    Islam Has Been Hijacked By...

    Sorry, I thought it saw it implicitly in "But now I see people justifying Islamic terror and telling us that Islam is not responsible for these terror groups." Anyways, obviously it's not black or white. Islam is neither entirely unrelated, nor is it solely responsible... that's about it.

    Islam Has Been Hijacked By...

    I like how it's either agree with your notion that Islam is so much more comparatively violent than anything else in this world, without any actual empirical evidence, or I'm defending or justifying terrorism. Let me be clear, Islam is stupid. Terrorism is a petty and ultimately ineffective...

    What's the Big Deal with Israel?

    Say, what? I'm assure they appreciate you speaking on their behalf.

    Islam Has Been Hijacked By...

    Nonsense, nothing has ever prevented anyone from using any abstraction to kill. The mind is not bound to rational behavior. Those many countries haven't also been involved in several invasions, civil wars, dictators, military regimes in the last century.

    Are 'facts' the biggest fiction?

    No facts, only interpretations, said Nietzsche. I wonder if that was a fact or his interpretation.

    Islam Has Been Hijacked By...

    Because Islam is already the majority religion in the places were those terror groups formed and operate? Just as an example, The Weather Underground didn't have anything to do with Islam.

    Atheists' former religions

    The atheist alliance have launched a campaign to get some numbers on the sorts of people worldwide who describe themselves as atheist. So far the sample group size is 69,798 and counting, with 64% describing themselves as atheist, with the second largest group preferring the term ‘Humanist’. A...

    Do you wear any religious jewelry?

    I have The Sacred Chao tattooed on my thigh. Not sure that counts as jewelry though. No inscription though.

    But Wirey, you work alone on a farm.

    Evolution is not observable admits Jerry Coyne

    Ah, well that's a bit strong, as it hasn't been, like, rigorously confirmed yet. But entropy, in fact, does not negate or prohibit evolution.

    Civil Forfeiture as part of a larger trend

    Civil forfeiture is quite simply an assault on people and a contradiction to the Bill of Rights. It's nothing more than asserting some property is involved with a crime with no charges. Guilty until proven innocent.

    What's the Big Deal with Israel?

    No problem. An arms embargo is basically when another country makes it illegal to trade arms with another country. So during the duration of the war, it was a crime for anyone in America to sell firearms to Israel, Jordan, Egypt, etc. Oh, boy, that's a lot of information worth of research...

    Is the Notion of "Cultural Appropriation" Intellectually Bankrupt?

    I blame social media.

    What's the Big Deal with Israel?

    Not the case in 1948. We had an arms embargo against Israel and 5 Arab nations involved. AIPAC didn't exist yet. "Following World War I, the Balfour Declaration of November 2, 1917 was a product of efforts by President Woodrow Wilson at the urging of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. At...

    What's the Big Deal with Israel?

    Well, I wouldn't say nothing. I mean Israel did win it's own War of Independence more or less on its own...

    What's the Big Deal with Israel?

    Yea, seems like a big waste of money. War goods follow the law of diminishing returns. Spending exponentially more money on smaller and smaller upgrades to the same weapons system so that we have an edge over the countries we just sold our old weapons to, is a waste of taxpayer money, and the...

    Believe It or Not: Israel is the 31st Highest Dues-Paying Country at the UN

    AIPAC is supported by members of AIPAC, which provides no regular-working-Joe Litmus-test for membership. Because members of our Congress don't constitute regular-working-Joes.

    What's the Big Deal with Israel?

    We are very in much in agreement. It's the totality of American foreign policy that is haphazardly done, and around things that absolutely have nothing to do with. Why do I need to pay for arms to help the Indonesian government murder communists so it doesn't become communists? Why do I need to...
