  1. Are you suggesting gun owners, will actively, threaten their liberal neighbours? All knots, however entangled, can be untied.
  2. It’s starting to look like a fashion meme, of the worse kind. The damn will break, the pressure is mounting.
  3. If you actually understood the difference, then... You’d know my presumption wasn’t my default.
  4. Bolded mine. So which is it; probability or game theory?
  5. Everything is influenced and has influence, even in the quantum world; probability must account for it. You’re qualified to have a legit theory/hypothesis when you understand the difference.
  6. I’ve no idea what his “pet theory” is but I’m guessing it’s leading there. Without a cultural influence the distribution would equal the percentage of left handed people. So maybe you’re trying to ask a different question?
  7. You don't need God to be, glad to be, alive.
  8. You gun toting Yosemite Sam’s (Looney Tunes) seem to have, willingly, walked wide eyed into the brainwasher, lead by the corporate money men’s whispers and the fear mongering they espouse; it’s such an easy sell after all, to which only the brave seem immune. Think about it, since the 2nd amendment was written, when has America, ever, faced or even come close to facing the sort of tyranny you, Sam’s, seem to think is just over the horizon? I pity the fool, who can’t see and meekly follows the tyranny that money creates; you may think you’re free but you’re just a pale imitation of those that kicked us out of your country, I very much doubt they would allow such suffering (slavery aside) to their countrymen.
  9. Guns are still freely available here, in old blighty, I have many friends with guns be it hand guns, rifles and shotguns, but we just prefer nutjobs and criminals to have a VERY limited access.
  10. I’m guessing, because it’s far from clear, you mean our fear of the future, only, creates the future we most fear?
  11. The universe doesn’t care how you think but it will react to your actions. You might like to reflect on the difference.
  12. It’s not really surprising to see this topic appear, when this thread has run its course; ignorance and logic seldom share a bed.
  13. Ohhh the irony. There’s a phrase in poker that seems appropriate “If you can’t see the fish, you are one”.
  14. No were talking about uninformed xenophobic racism, and the undeserved hatred against a religion; I have simply pointed out that everything you accuse of Muslims is also true of Christians. You may think you’re not ignorant but that’s just the result of suffering from the Dunning/Kruger effect. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p033rkkz
  15. Are you really so ignorant that you think the Muslims did it? What am I thinking of course you are.
  16. One man with extreme views does not a religion make: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/10-worst-terror-attacks-extreme-christians-and-far-right-white-men http://www.seesharppress.com/20reasons.html http://www.debunkingskeptics.com/DebunkingChristians/Page2.htm http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/25/us/tally-of-attacks-in-us-challenges-perceptions-of-top-terror-threat.html?_r=0 "Sex before marriage is not permissible in Islam. Marriage in Islam requires a "nikah" (contract) children cannot sign contracts. Hence marriage can only be between man and woman".
  17. I can’t defend that but can you defend this. Rape is abhorrent but it’s not a cultural issue it’s a human issue.
  18. I’ve already shown this to be false; don’t forget hate begat HATE (Don’t tell me, you voted UKIP and support the EDL?). And you obviously wouldn’t “welcome them with open arms” because your hate filled rhetoric is just an excuse to turn your back on the suffering of others. There is, obviously to all but the ignorant, no invasion you’re just conflating economic migration with refugees fleeing war and is nothing more than xenophobia. People who migrate for economic reasons almost always benefit the country financially and so deserve our thanks, refugees simply don’t want to die in a war inspired by hate and deserve our help and compassion; FFS break the cycle, try a little understanding. If you desperately needed help would you hate your benefactor or be grateful (psychology and history tells us it’s the latter)? Your fear, of a future you can’t possibly know, is only helping to create it.
  19. It seems you're the one that hates... http://www.swlondoner.co.uk/young-muslim-raises-thousands-poppy-appeal-wembley-stadium-honour-country-islam-teaches/
  20. Citation needed. But as John suggests, what does it matter? Refugee or ‘economic’ immigrant won't change the fact that they make a positive impact on the country they settle in.
