  1. Thats true! Iv been amazing at the haul you bring in for years!
  2. I have not much opinion or knowledge to offer here, but can producing offspring from DNA that is that similar cause all kinds of medical problems?
  3. Im surprised that I havent seen all the conservative religious nitwits coming out of the closet to describe these storms as gods punish for having but sex!
  4. But it has dramatically increased since the fake GWOT.
  5. Well shit Mikey! You mean the sky isnt falling and impending doom and calamity predicted by conservatives is NOT a forgone conclusion? Why the hell didnt you say so sooner... Iv been building a bomb shelter and stocking up on duct tape and canned goods for nothing!
  6. You guys are the nuts that bought the country out of duct tape and canned goods after 911.
  7. I posted SOME of that here... According to the FBI, 94% of terrorist attacks carried out in the United States from 1980 to 2005 have been by non-Muslims. This means that an American terrorist suspect is over nine times more likely to be a non-Muslim than a Muslim. There have been over one thousand terrorist attacks in Europe in the past five years. Take a guess at what percent of those terrorists were Muslim. Wrong, now guess again. It’s less than 2%. Even if all terrorist attacks were carried out by Muslims, you still could not associate terrorism with Islam: There have been 140,000 terror attacks committed worldwide since 1970. Even if Muslims carried out all of these attacks (which is an absurd assumption), those terrorists would represent less than 0.00009 percent of all Muslims.
  8. Maybe but for each one of those, 10 thousand Americans will try to kill other Americans, and 5 thousand Mexican cartel narco-terrorists will try to kill them as well. When all is said and done, the majority of the death toll will be you guys killing yourselves all angry about some women and shittered on whiskey.
  9. Well white nationalists by definition ARE racist. But that does not mean all of them commit crimes. You would probably brand me as a "no mind liberal", but I don't buy into what you are saying. I think the majority of people defined as "white nationalists" dont' commit any crimes at all.
  10. Whats sane is to evaluate the data and base decisions on the actual risk these people pose. That how risk is managed world-wide. And in this case the risk is fairly low. For example... Muslims in the US are less likely to kill an American, than another American. So every time you let one in the murder rate actually goes down a bit. Its fun to single out a visible minority, and paint them as an existential threat, but at some point evidence should be considered. The threat of Islamic terrorism is statistically insignificant. According to the FBI your chances of dying in a terrorist attack are about 1 in 20 million. Your chances of being killed by a lightening strike is about 1 in 7 million.
  11. Its just common sense. Societies endure non lawful killings all the time. Like I said... its just risk management. We know there is going to be murder. We know there is going to be terrorism. And we know there's hundreds of other threats as well. So its a mitigation game.... a simple numbers game... risk management. You take the money you have for risk management and spend it where it makes sense.... Terrorism, domestic murder, drunk driving". If you do it right there will be more people alive at the end of the day than if you do it wrong. Are lightening strikes ok? Asteroid strikes?
  12. Thats nice. You have been on the front line of derailing threads with non sequitur one-liners for about a decade.
  13. That's a question for an insurance adjuster or risk management professional. You have less chance of dying from terrorism than you do from a lightening strike, so I would imagine you could buy insurance against terrorism for about $5 dollars per year.
  14. Well in Hungary for example there'[s about 6000 Muslims. If they are all compelled to kill infidels by their holy book like DOP suggests there should be attacks every single day. I guess they arent interested in doing that, and want to do other things instead?
  15. And you sir are a thread molester.
  16. I could care less whats in a book written when people thought the world was flat. What matters is the actions of individuals today. And the reality is that while all three abrahamic religions have books that contain violent edicts, almost nobody acts on them.
  17. Picture this.... There's a hundred thousand "purple" dudes. One of them molests a child. Are purple dudes child molesters? Why not focus on the individuals that actually do bad things?
  18. Further more.... According to the FBI, 94% of terrorist attacks carried out in the United States from 1980 to 2005 have been by non-Muslims. This means that an American terrorist suspect is over nine times more likely to be a non-Muslim than a Muslim. There have been over one thousand terrorist attacks in Europe in the past five years. Take a guess at what percent of those terrorists were Muslim. Wrong, now guess again. It’s less than 2%. Even if all terrorist attacks were carried out by Muslims, you still could not associate terrorism with Islam: There have been 140,000 terror attacks committed worldwide since 1970. Even if Muslims carried out all of these attacks (which is an absurd assumption), those terrorists would represent less than 0.00009 percent of all Muslims.
  19. Just sounds stupid and simplistic. The vast majority of Muslims do not act out any of the edicts in their holy book. Same with Christians. The suggestion that the Koran causes Muslims to kill infidels is pretty silly. I mean... there's more than a million Muslims right here in Canada. So you would think there would be dozens of killings every day if they are true believers. Probably is there's almost none. Even in the US Muslims are less likely to commit murder than the general population.
  20. Doesn't phase em? The western world has spent trillions of dollars over trying to mitigate that problem... sure they have spent it really stupidly and made the problem much worse... but you cant say it doesn't "phase" them.
  21. The infrastructure is already there. The Grid can deliver 200 amps to each residence with a car. Additional generating capacity WILL be required, but we already have excess power during off peak hours, which is when cars should be charging. Also even if we built dirty coal plants to get that additional capacity it would still be cleaner than what we do now. This will happen sooner or later simply because electric cars are technologically superior. They are cheaper to run, and produce a much more usable torque curve. There are only two parts to the engine... a rotor and a stater. With maintenance you could put millions of miles on a well designed electric motor. I really notice this difference with my tools. I have electric tools that have run non-stop for 20 years. Go buy a chainsaw or lawn mower and see how long it runs for before needing a "tuneup". Gasoline engines are basically disposable. I recently put a 10HP 3 phase motor onto my bandsaw mill (It replaced a 17HP Kholer). Maintenance now is almost zero, and its way cheaper to run and way more hassle free. It works better as well because of all the low end torque electric motors have. You have to wind a gas motor up to a few thousand RPM for it to be of much use.
  22. There's really no proof of ANY account. All we know is that the planes hit the buildings, and that the report of what actually happened was almost completely redacted (kept classified). The only evidence based position is "who the hell knows". I don't buy into any the conspiracy theories OR the governments account, and we probably wont know what happened for quite a few decades, assuming all the data gets declassified. Once that happens I suspect we will find out that this was dreamed up by the Saudi government, possibly with collaboration from some Americans.
  23. This line of discussion always goes nowhere. People in each camp try to cast the "other" size as evil geniuses. Some people just have a need to do this... its a personality trait. The reality is... These various countries being talked about operate the same way... They are all primarily aligned around their own self interest, and the pursuit of that makes some people happy and some other people angry. Americans arent "evil". Neither or Iranians, or North Koreans. The people in these countries are the victims of fraud.
  24. Careful you don't hurt yourself!
  25. I don't think the bright orange rodent is actually a racist OR far right. I think hes a political opportunist that has been told that tapping into anti-immigrant and anti Muslim sentiment is politically expedient, and that far right racist retards are an important pillar of his political base whether he likes them or agrees with them or not (he probably doesn't). I think his drivers are things like money, personal legacy, and narcissism.... Not idealogy. Same reason Hilary Clinton courts the "poor", even though she would probably have herself professionally de-loused after, if she ever had to ride on a public bus with them.
