awesome! nothing short of fucking awesome DRM. I'd give almost anything to merely see that guy walk about 20 steps or so among his troops.

The funny thing is that there are two hills opposing each other in the valley with two separate OP's on them. One from Alexander, the other from Genghis Khan. Lots of history in that part of Afghanistan.

Let's also try and keep the Zeitgeist movement out of this

just another bunch of zealots trying to (re)create the world in their image
Yes, they have good points....: so does the bible

the whole fucking problem in the world is people sticking their noses where they shouldn't
if we all just tried to live not being a bother, we would be much friendlier with eachother

Not to get too political, but lets not forget that this country was founded (read civil war, people killed) over organized religion and a bunch of rich fucks who believed they were above paying taxes. Not much has changed in 200+ years.

Amazing how the overall point is forgotten and the thread derailed as it is with the focus on one aspect of the post instead of the main purpose of the original post. You get the point. Have fun with the thread guys. It's all yours...

So I'll be the one to ask. What was the point of this thread?

Someones wife in New Brunswick has her panties (about 5 years ago) in a wad because she doesn't care about humanity and international law, but regards her own religion in a special light, although it has been proven to be the most brutal and bloodiest of them all (someone forgot to mention the Spanish Inquisition [nobody expects it though.]) It's a totally political post, and although I agree with a lot of it, Jimmy can smoke crack, 'cause I don't care. And yes, I am a believer, but not a subscriber.

You've been here long enough to know we all had ADD and don't stay on topic ever, no matter what the topic is....

Ummmm ok..... I believe what you may have been shooting for was 'they' say this country was founded by daredevils and people seeking religious freedoms, the "revolutionary" war was supposedly fought over 'taxation'(read - economic slavery), and the civil war supposedly over slavery(not really, but that would be a very long and historically rich thread - that probably would be out of place on the JCF)..... BUT, I digress ~ and agree with your summation.... "Not much has changed in 200+ years"

Except for Womanly hygiene - those puritans had muffs that could choke out a neighborhood!!!

Yet no one can satisfactorily explain the pyramids, how they were built and what was the real use ~ aint that a bitch

i'd have to say the lady who wrote the letter is the polar opposite of her hero Hay-Zeus Christo, all that guy did was "care", help, forgive, heal etc. I lost friends I grew up with on 9-11, 3 of them, and it could have been a lot worse. All of my friends and family became either stock brokers, cops or firemen, the three groups in harms way. I didn't see God anywhere near that place on that day.

I could play this too. How about all the people during the middle ages and Crusades that were tortured and died slow painful deaths because they didn't believe in Jesus?

This whole post is a piss poor comparison, one which I hear quite often on liberal talk radio these days. Let's examine and compare, shall we?


First, let's tackle your question above. How many people died? We'll never know, however, the Muslims certainly are not innocent during the same time period. The difference is of course is what happened to western civilization shortly after. Please feel free to check it out :

Islam has yet to reach the same, even after all these years.

Or how these "Christians" protest soldiers funerals and fuck with their loved ones?

You're talking about 1 church with around 40 members, most of which are related. How in the world does that represent the "Christians"?

Or how they kill abortion doctors?

4 abortion doctors killed and 4 staff. 8 people. Ok, that's too many, I get it I really do. But that comparison just doesn't hold up.

Now take all that into account, how many deadly attacks have occurred since 9/11 that have been caused due to Islam? Do you know?

As of today -- 21,400

I still don't understand either the point of this thread or why this isn't in the Politics section.
