So you're saying that they are really all ter'r'rists? No straw men to see around here, ladies and gentlemen. Move along, now.

Yeah, what about that communist manifesto and it's preachings that non-Communists should be killed, rape victims should be killed, homosexuals should be killed, women should have no rights. Thank God all those commies have gone, huh?

Where on Earth did you find this guff? It's not even remotely true. "Better dead than red", however, was for real.

The trouble is that, in order to perform an attack of that kind, someone has to have mental problems. There's no healthy, intelligent reasoning backing it up. Don't shoot the messenger. Oh, wait. It was the Sun. Go ahead and open fire.

They're often making the right decision. The problem is their utility function is corrupted, it incorrectly distinguishes between world states after their death. They should all be valued zero since nothing can affect you after your death, but they've been tricked into believing that there is something after death. That is a very dangerous concept that should have been banned ages ago, since giving world states past your death a positive utility can make people decide that doing something that they will be killed for is worth doing.

So you're saying that all criminals have mental health problems? That it's incapable that someone is just not a very nice person with low levels of empathy or compassion?

I could at least understand why you would attempt that ad hominem attack if I was discussing news or facts, but I think I made it quite clear this was simply an opinion piece so the paper itself doesn't have a lot to do with it. Nice try though at trying to belittle the issue by criticising the source rather than facing up to the issue itself. After all, had I have said it was the Mail you wouldn't have said "Oh, wait, It was the Mail". If it was the Guardian you wouldn't have said "Oh, wait, It was the Guardian." If it was the Independent you wouldn't have said "Oh, wait, It was the Independent." If it was the Upper Middle-Marsh Telegraph you wouldn't have said "Oh, wait, It was the Upper Middle-Marsh Telegraph." I mean your post came from a genuine specific concern, you weren't going to simply try and dismiss the whole thing based on the source regardless of what that source was.......were you.....?

The Crusades were power grabs, masquerading as Holy Wars.

No need to imply, I'll explicitly state that's what I think :)

It's still a straw-man argument. At no point in the discourse did anyone say all Muslims are terrorists yet it is the argument apologists cling to.

None intended, I assure you.

Yes they did! But such Oikish comments are suppressed by the press.

I see why you're so quick to accuse others of using straw-man arguments -- you do it yourself so often, that you believe everyone behaves that way. The point, however, which has nothing to do with any straw men you might throw into the mix, is that the nutter attacked one of the most heavily watched and defended streets in the world, with nothing but a sharp, pointy thing, so yes, it's pretty certain that he has mental problems. As for the rest of your rant: you're just being ridiculous. Either calm the **** down or grow the **** up, whichever will help most.

If that doesn't qualify under "while the balance of the mind was disturbed", then nothing does.

Actually, you did precisely that. You accused a developer's colleague developers of secretly being ter'r'rists, and of sneaking around behind their colleagues' backs with evil and ter'r'ristic intent. If you said something like that about me in front of my colleagues, I'd chin ya -- so then you could elevate your accusations yet further. See how it works? Watch your mouth, or the Muslims aren't the problem; you are.

Hey, don't expect anyone who claims to be a Christian in CP to have actually read the Bible! It's just something they use to "prove" that they're better than others.

Where did I claim to be a Christian? I merely stated:
Quote:

(The treatment of rape victims would depend upon the circumstance of the rape. For instance a victim would not be killed if the rape occured in the countryside.) Buy, hey! I don't expect anyone who claims to quote Marx on CP to have actually read the Communist Manifesto or Das Kapital!

Leviticus is instruction for a specific branch of priesthood which ended during the Roman empire, it is not instruction for the people. Holiness code - Wikipedia[^] Now as I originally asked can you please show me where in The Bible it says that non-Christians and homosexuals should be killed.
