Evidently, there is a law against using wmd's abroad against a US citizen. This alone does not necessarily imply that it's open season on non-US citizens since there could be other laws relating to them.

Also, the term wmd seems to be broadly construed since it includes small bombs.

Seriously. This entire article is founded on a completely baseless assertion. Not even worth reading past the first paragraph, which basically states, "Since alcohol doesn't kill brain cells...". Hey, maybe they wrote the article while "under the influence." Ya know, boys will b...

I used to think Americans were ignorant for their lack of understanding of the layout of the planet, but it's people on this board that changed me mind a bit. Why do they need to look outside their bounderies when they have so many cultures and enviroments within their own? Thanks for pointing that...

Not sure what level. I can see the different colored dots, I just don't know what color they are. It's easier for me to identify it if I can stare at a color -- as opposed to briefly flashing dots. I can usually manage to confuse red and green. In sarge's picture, if there were no greens, I probably...

Rigueur: Since you say that there are differences between extremisms, what are the differences between a religious extremist that bombs people and a pro-life extremist that bombs abortion clinics? A point of logic: "Extremism admits of scope and degree" My claim is that not all extremists...

Ferno, I like the distorted history in the article you linked ;) There's some truth there worth knowing, but plenty of distortions. Also, never trust an article that says we "should ask ourselves why we have lost this goodwill" and doesn't immediately mention Israel in answer. I met Karen...

extremism is extremism. no matter what it's about. This is not a very nuanced outlook. Extremism admits of scope and degree. By being so 'extreme' about extremism, you make yourself the target of your own criticism. I suspect the real reason people appeal to such maxims is that it gives them an exc...

. . . it makes me wonder why most people would come to the conclusion that their hardliners are worse than the ones on this side of the world. There's right-wing hardliners in congress, the supreme court and the white house. But for some reason that's ok. unless it's being done in another country. ...

Years ago I asked my Comp Sci prof what 'foo' meant. He said, 'f**k'. I think it's related to FUBAR and 'foxtrot uniform', etc.

There's nothing sacred about "scientists" when it comes to basic human behaviour: they lie, cheat, steal, make-up, falsify, turn a blind eye, find what they expect to... So scientist have the same potential for bad behavior as, say, televangelists? Maybe Feyerabend had a point after all. ...

The cause may not be bias, it could be just sloppy work on the part of jounalists. It's not unusual to read an article about a religious subject where it's pretty clear the writer doesn't know the whole story.

If so, why can't mods excise such remarks when necessary? Maybe consider another option: add more mod supervision.

I had read about that conference, but not about the anti-US angle. I guess the post was useful for us stragglers.
