Hmm. Caucasian Muslims from Chechnya. I wonder how racist Islamophobes will handle this --- "I hate Muslims, but I love white people....what should I do?!"

Hmm. Caucasian Muslims from Chechnya. I wonder how racist Islamophobes will handle this --- "I hate Muslims, but I love white people....what should I do?!"
Wishing that, just once, I could open a thread about this without the first words being some unfounded accusation against Muslims. Because, you know, there aren't any terrorists of any other...
I know it's a cliche, but Majora's Mask is definitely one of my favorite Zelda games. When I first played it, I was surprised by how unintentionally dark it was; since the game contained three full...
Not sure what you mean that I didn't double check or question them; my very first remark in that post was, "Case in point, that's just not true," and then I ranted on about some stuff. Unless you're...
My point actually had very little to do with the petty politics of the situation; I just get sick of hearing people say "OMG WORST PRESIDENT EVAR!!" every single time Obama does anything. It was...
Case in point. That's just not true. Bush started two illegal foreign wars that ultimately added up to a cost of over a trillion dollars. That alone dwarfs much of what Obama has done. And the big...
I wish people would just be more realist about the presidents. When Bush was in office, he was "going to start world war 3, the worst president in history, and he secretly planned 9/11 as an inside...
I dunno, shouldn't moralistic self-identified "conservatives" be a little nicer, considering that they claim to have access to the one absolutely correct moral code? Shouldn't they come across as a...
I couldn't cook anything that didn't have a box and directions until I was 19 and I got my first cooking job. Most of the time my mom did the cooking at home, and on the nights she worked, I just...
That's really neat, actually. I'm dirt poor and always looking for things to make that are filling but cheap. Checking out this lady's channel now....will definitely have to try some of that.
Haha. That's a good one.
No, the "great fear" (which is actually very frequently spoken) is that, if it IS racial, there is absolutely no evidence correlating a lack of intellectual...
Agree with 1565 100%. My friends keep talking about Dorner as if he's some hero for murdering innocent civilians that had nothing to do with whatever beef he had against the LAPD. As far as I care,...
Being told you are wrong =/= "disrespected." Other people challenging your ideas is a very important part of the scientific method; but of course you know that, being a "huge science nerd" and all.
@bronc: that explains a lot, actually.
And that's their decision to make. The people I respect (and who respect me) don't leave drive-by comments and then take offense at me for addressing them. It's also unrealistic to expect that I...
I find that comment really interesting, llamas, considering that you're usually the one who initiates most of the arguments between you and me. I don't often follow you around just to argue with you....
Anyway, sorry to bump this topic after it had basically died, but a really good example of what I was originally talking about came up (I screencapped it for examination's sake, but I don't have a...
Pretty much that, plus the wiki-walking you mentioned earlier. Each article (online, anyway) has tons of embedded links/sources, so I inevitably end up clicking several of them, and by the time I...
You're telling me that I'm doing it wrong incorrectly. Stop telling me that I'm doing it wrong incorrectly!
I'm sure Pol Pot would be proud of you for saying that. Sounds like something he would say.
Yeah? Well, you know who else thought I was a self-centered moron?
Joseph Stalin.
I just wanted to say that I approve the direction this topic has taken.
Ahh, so that explains it.
My personal theory (based on experience and some guessing) is that people don't want to admit they're wrong because they invest so much emotion and social standing into what they say --- they see...
I guess so. Works for me, anyway; I was getting tired of looking up information to enforce the things I say, only to have you dismiss everything scientific as "opinion" or ephemeral and then complain...
