It's amazing what vocabulary you get from watching '24'.

I've never seen that show. That term has been around since at least the 80's. Reagan was always accompanied by an officer carrying a leather bag that contained the codes. I'm kind of surprised that you wouldn't have known about that term before watching a recent TV show, though.

That's because he doesn't have sufficient power from the government. And even if he did, he wouldn't get away with it internationally - it would be economic suicide to attack France.

We know. That's partially why we're still a super power and you're not.

Not trying to defend the afghan a-holes or anything, but I'm sure that any nation which employs a similar constitution, will descend into such a medieval state.

Very few religions are of peace, tolerance and kindness. Rub anyone with in any religion the wrong way, who has sufficient power, and they will unleash their god given wrath. Religion is like communism - it's fine and dandy if everybody are in on it.

That, my friend, is such patent nonsense. ---sig---

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4841334.stm[^] "Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity. That is why we have told him if he regrets what he did, then we will forgive him," But, wait for it.... "The courts should punish him and he should be put to death." This is what happens when you accept a shitty constitution so you can be getting on, as later peoples lives depend on it. Afghanistan's constitution, written in 2004, enshrines the country as an Islamic state under which no law can contravene Islam. But it also protects personal freedom and respects international human rights conventions. "It is a deliberately ambiguous document which tries to paper over the cracks and contradictions of Afghanistan," says one Afghan law professor privately. Religion of peace, tolerance, kindness my ass.
"Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity. That is why we have told him if he regrets what he did, then we will forgive him," he told the BBC News website." I wonder how not obvious to those dumbasses that it is not "tolerant" to kill someone because they converted to a different religion? :wtf: Shіt like this makes me wonder why the news stations like BBC and CNN are so sympathetic to muslims, and call them a "religion of peace". :suss:

:laugh: Name one secular government. But I'll go ahead and play this game: Mormonism.

Just because some people use a certain religion as an excuse to violate human rights (i.e. the Catholic Church) doesnt make the religion bad. But with Islam, the entire religion is based on violence.

That big club saved your nation more than once. You probably owe your very existence to that big club.

Nope, it never did. The nation you live in participated in a joint effort between Britain, USSR and USA. And, I owe my existance to my father and my mother, not to some guy that drove through Denmark in a Jeep in the last century.

Your logic is faulty. A religion can't violate human rights, it's an abstract concept. Only people can violate human rights. Just because some people go to extremes, and that goes for politics too (extreme left, extreme right) doesn't necessarily brand whatever group they belong to as extremist. There are some Democrats and Republicans (in the US) that are extremists, does that mean all Republicans or all Democrats or all political parties are extreme or bad? Some right-to-lifers have killed doctors who have performed abortions. Does that mean that the "Right-to-life" group has violated human rights??? So it is with Religion. Just because some people who belong to a particular religion go to extremes, and even say they're doing it in the "name of their religion" or "their God", doesn't mean everyone in that religion agrees with the extremists' actions. Nor should everyone in that religion nor should ALL Religions be painted with such a brush just because there are some bad PEOPLE. Again, people violate human rights, not some abstract concept. But, as espeir said, Mormonism[^] has not viloated anybodys rights. ---sig---

Nah, just the later incarnation. Much like Jesus, Mohammed was a man of peace at first. When his message stopped being well-received, he, like Jesus, used more violent language but, unlike Jesus, Mohammed himself used violent means to attain his goals. Jesus left it to the Romans, French, Germans, English, Spanish and others to supply the violence necessary for Christianity to spread.

Britain and the USSR were doomed without the US. Why do you think we jumped in? So that our soldiers could have afternoon tea.

Yes you do. And they owe their existence to your grandparents. And they owe their existence to some guy who drove through Denmark in a Jeep last century. Also, thanks to our might, the USSR did not progress past East Germany. While you might still exist had they done so, you'd be wearing a lot more gray as you stood in line for bread.

France's stockpile is far too small to destroy the US at the push of a button. They might be able to take out a couple of cities, but the US would create a new body of water called the Sea of France. Besides, these are the people that make Peugot. I'm guessing one out of ten actually work.

Jesus preached violence? That's news to me.

No, you joined in because it was becoming really annoying how the German subs kept sinking your merchant vessels. Business as usual.

My grandfather planted roadside bombs and deranged trains while your grandparents were sipping coffe and wondering if good old Adolf might turn out to be a good trading partner when the war was over.

While fantasizing about alternative history can be very amusing, I would consider that outcome highly improbable. Look, we have been occupied several times through history, and we're still a very independant nation. Even if the USSR had had the resources to extend their realm to our territory, we would have made it. I can see that all the cold war propaganda is still hanging around, but try visiting eg. Praque and see for yourself that other nations actually did make it through.
