not any more...


Re "peaceful Muslims" I think it's just total BS.  Look back at these threads for the evidence.  What you'll find is the likes of "Islam is peace and Love" then on questioning "Well of course except for Evil Zion" or "Except for stoning adulterers that's GOOD" and "Except for punishing gays" and "Except for cutting off hands and feet" and "Evil Jews did 911", or "Except for Great Satan, the USA."  You'll find so much totally contradictory crap it makes your head spin.  There is zero uniform and internally consistent message of "peace and love."  Zero.

Internal inconsistency lays the lie to your question of which you seek to be convinced (bolded) as a false overly broad generalization of the premise of a logical argument.


Re Confederate Flag.

No, you are parroting the top down disseminated liberal mis framing of the issue.

Who owns the Confederate Flag and it's heritage is the Democratic party and it's members.  Notice they NEVER ADMIT THIS.  NEVER.  Rather they push the lie it's the Eeeevvvoolll REupblicans.  Yeah, bullshit.

Confess up to it, please.

Yes, this is the question of the poll.

On the one hand, you have satellite sensors which show no warming.

On the other hand, you have land based sensors which do appear to show warming.

LOL...I find it rather interesting.  It's a scientific controversy really.  But answers can and will be based on personal experience, other evidence, political beliefs, etc.  Answer anyway you feel is correct.

You still don't understand it at all.

Turing was at the center of Allied SPYING.  He was instrumental in many, many people being killed (and many not getting killed.)

Think Coventry.  If that doesn't mean anything, go look it up.  Consider how many had loved ones in Coventry that might have hated Turing for what he did.  Many, many, MANY examples like that.

Normal rules - in particular your SJW modern view - have little relation in such a situation let alone in the past.

IF
      I agree they have none.
THEN
         Turing may have been killed instantly under Sharia Law.

" Or they may have used his skills to aid their war effort and then killed him after

I don't see "action" listed as a verb anywhere in the definition.

Since the word "action" is a noun, and it is being compared to "reaction," another noun, Newtons Third Law is talking about "things," which are not verbs.

Not people... But have value for life for other people, ready to buy this "waste"... Illogical. Waste has no value. If it does then it is not waste. Why creating a law forbidding people from buying or selling baby body parts?

Do it openly if it is waste.

Another legitimate question, from a comment on youtube:

I'm a bit confused. If they don't do this, and don't sell the stuff, why did the good doctor agree to meet with folks posing as buyers looking for organs a medical biotech start up looking for research tissue?

No hysteria.

Yeah, I would rank ISIS a million times worse. As uncouth as they are, the W.B.C. congregation is just expressing an opinion peacefully.  
I use DAESH for a few reasons. Most of my experience with them has been in the middle east and they are always called DEASH there. But the main reason is that calling them ISIS is showing support for them. In the Islamic state it is forbidden to refer to them as DAESH. The punishment for this is that "your tongue will be cut from your mouth." They hate being called DAESH because it is a play on words in Arabic. It is the acronym for ISIS, but also sound like you are saying the word meaning to trample or crush under foot. Arab culture is weird about feet and this term is considered very disrespectful. As this war plays out over the next 10-20 years I think you will see this term replacing ISIS or IS or ISIL. All of which acknowledge the existence of the Caliphate.  For me they are not a caliphate and are better described as the ones who trample everything.

I was being sarcastic. As pointed out above, I was referencing the logical fallacy of making a rule from one example.

You've been in space?

To those who disbelieve the Earth is a sphere, they're obviously going to say it's a theory that the Earth is a sphere, that the images are pictures, and CGI effects, etc. You have to put yourself in the other person's shoes to see this. There's a video linked in the OP, that is a man claiming to have drawn the Earth from space for NASA, remember? Lots of people have been saying the moon landing was faked for a lot longer too.

Lots of people have been saying the moon landing was faked for a lot longer too.

Disagreement and discussion is how we move forward. 
But I do think there is some confusion about terrorism. You are correct that DAESH (ISIS) often use guerrilla tactics. However these tactics are a standard part of modern conventional warfare. Guerrillas fight in uniform and are structured into conventional units. Terrorists work in cells or even alone, do not wear uniforms, do not hold ground, and are primarily interested in pushing events to a tipping point that allows for open guerrilla warfare. I realize that this is on a spectrum and DAESH's earlier iterations used terrorism. But now they are fighting open battles and I don't see where they are losing overall.
By comparison Al-Qaeda (the base) members mostly hide in cities under fake names and focus on traditional terror tactics. I think they did expect that the U.S. would over-react and hurt themselves. That is what Bin Laden was saying as far back as the early 1990's.
Why just two days before 9/11 Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated by Al-Qaeda in preparation for America's expected war in Afghanistan.  These guys are no dummies. The attackers on 9/11 were doctors and engineers. They study political science and history and have vision for what they want to do. It would be great if they were just crazy and foolishly delusional. 

I don't like the shape of the world I see evolving as a result of Muslims, and the worlds response to Muslims.  It makes zero practical difference if this is the result of 33% of muslims or 0.1%, the result is equally nasty, and equally the responsibility of Muslims, in either case.  It makes zero practical difference if some Muslims want to chatter about "They are not True Islam," that's exactly the sectarian divides that have made the Middle East such a ridiculous back and forth battleground for centuries.  Rather than the solution, that's the problem.

What we are really talking about at the core here, is the exporting of the basic Crazy of the middle east to the rest of the world.

I've already discussed this with you.

In the beginning everything was fine. Then Eve sinned and we as a human race got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. In the bible it talks about fallen angels mating with female humans and having offspring (Nephilim). In the book of Enoch it talks about how the fallen angels/Nephilim corrupted mankind even more. They also cross bred animals (which is where the dinasours may have come in to being). This was an attempt to make it so that mankind's bloodline would be mixed so that Jesus could not be born of a pure bloodline to stop evil. Because it was predicted when Eve was kicked out that her offspring (further down the line) would defeat satan (of course that offspring was Jesus Christ and he did save us).

We also have all these GMOs being introduced into our food by the governments, and drugs in the water.  

Why is it that we as a race have not had our lifetimes lengthened more that they have been after all the new tech? Why are there more food allergies today too?

It is predicted in the bible that when the end times come they will be like the days of Noah. The reason the flood happened was to save His pure blood line from evil crossbreeding (with fallen angels). Also some people, believing that they are part Nephilim are known to inbreed, could be they are trying to strengthen their angelic bloodlines.

Of course to everyone reading this, who doesn't believe in the bible this will sound ludicrous. But it's clear in the bible and the book of Encoh, that that this mix-breeding and incestual lines could happen. With that being the case they could easily lead to things like you described.

Edit: We were never supposed to "play god" and mess with our blood lines like some have.

We are the only gods watching over us. Let's hope we're wise and compassionate Watchers. Otherwise...

People will keep consuming german products because they are simply objectively good... a german car is a work of art, compared to the piece of trash scams you can buy in other countries. I don't think people is going to care about some philosophical thoughts before buying a car, they will want a good car for their money. That's sadly how it is.

I just bought food from lidl and a new adidas track suit  

I can boycott any car from Germany since I don't have money to buy it, but not for adidas. I like its quality and I dont care what country adidas is. I think there is no connection between government of Germany with its companies in Greek crisis.

This is a growing question in intelligence circles. It has really become incorrect to refer to these guys as terrorists. They do practice terror, but so do a lot of nation-states. True terrorism is practiced in an asymmetric warfare environment. When you can't win a battle you try to get the enemy to make stupid moves by making them fearful. Al-Qaeda works this way. Look at how successful they were on 9/11. We lost a few buildings and a few thousand people. It was bad, but the reaction we launched has cost us trillions, wrecked our economy, ruined some of our key alliances, and created hundreds of thousands of new Jihadis.  
We foolishly played the hand they dealt us.    

Is this what DAESH is like? Not anymore anyway. They fight conventional battles, they have nation level weapons, they have their own currencies, medical services, oil refineries, they control huge areas of land. These things are putting them on a path to statehood and in 100 years it is possible that there will still be a Caliphate in the region.

We could beat them right now, however we (USA) are not willing to do the work. It will take a draft and a force of at least 300K (500K would be better). Are you ready to go to war. Not the kid stuff we have been doing so far, but a real war with losses in the tens of thousands.

US just let China and Russia do what they want in case they don't disrupt US business.

Number of resolutions vetoed by each of the five permanent members of the Security Council between 1946 and 2007




Most recent event China and Russia exercised their veto power
July 8, 2015: Russia vetoed a resolution condemning the Srebrenica massacre as a genocide
May 22, 2014: China and Russia vetoed a resolution condemning the state of Syria

Nothing wrong with that veto imo.
 

As for the evidence it suggests, most of the people trying to prove the Earth is flat, are not getting any money, and are being ridiculed. I will give you trolling, it could be a reason, but I don't think it's stupidity, as they are attempting to disprove a theory that is heavily regarded. If they are going to be successful, they will have to work harder than many to come up with a proof that is accepted. You may consider a waste of time because you think they will not succeed. But I believe working for something, even if proven wrong, still teaches you something.

Also, looking at the world in ways others don't consider, well, this is how inventions are made. Just look throughout history, there are examples of inventions that were made from things that had no relation. You never know when a positive will come out of scientific work.

I don't think that this news is reliable. For long, the ISIS has used this type of gory and graphic videos to recruit psychopaths and mental patients from around the world. If they stop publishing these videos on their Twitter and YouTube accounts, then their recruitment drive will take a severe hit. And right now, they can't afford to do the same.

ISIS Transforming Into Functioning State That Uses Terror as Tool

...

While no one is predicting that the Islamic State will become steward of an accountable, functioning state anytime soon, the group is putting in place the kinds of measures associated with governance: issuing identification cards for residents, promulgating fishing guidelines to preserve stocks, requiring that cars carry tool kits for emergencies.

That transition may demand that the West rethink its military-first approach to combating the group.

“I think that there is no question that the way to look at it is as a revolutionary state-building organization,” said Stephen M. Walt, a professor of international affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. He is one of a small but growing group of experts who are challenging the conventional wisdom about the Islamic State: that its evil ensures its eventual destruction.

In a recent essay in Foreign Policy magazine — “What Should We Do if the Islamic State Wins?” — Mr. Walt argued that the Islamic State could indeed prevail in the face of a modest, American-led military campaign that has been going for almost a year and still left the group in control of large areas of Iraq and Syria.

He wrote, “an Islamic State victory would mean that the group retained power in the areas it now controls and successfully defied outside efforts to ‘degrade and destroy’ it.”

He added that now, after almost a year of American airstrikes on the group, it is becoming clear that “only a large-scale foreign intervention is likely to roll back and ultimately eliminate the Islamic State.”

...

Under the Islamic State, he said, life can be brutal, but at least it seems more stable for those who can avoid crossing the group’s leaders. “Here they are implementing God’s regulations,” he said. “The killer is killed. The adulterer is stoned. The thief’s hands are cut.”

A similar sentiment helped the Taliban consolidate power two decades ago in Afghanistan: While the Taliban were feared, and their justice was often brutal, they were also respected by many Afghans for standing against corruption and chaos — and they remained firmly in control until the American invasion in 2001.

John E. McLaughlin, who was deputy director of the C.I.A. from 2000 to 2004, said he was recently at a dinner party in Washington at the home of an Australian diplomat when the discussion turned to the threat of the Islamic State.

“It suddenly just occurred to me, if you add everything up, that these guys could win,” he said. It was a controversial notion, he explained, because the group’s graphic brutality, which it showcases to the world in gory videos released through social media, has fed a sense that its demise is inevitable because it is so evil.

“Evil isn’t always defeated,” he said.


...

Drawing on parallels from history, experts say, the group’s violence can be seen in a different light. Mr. Walt mentioned the guillotine of the French Revolution, and the atrocities of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the Communist one in China — imperfect analogies, to be sure, but ones that underscored the violence and oppression that can precede creation of a revolutionary state.

“At the time, these movements were regarded as completely beyond the pale and a threat to international order,” he said.

Mr. McLaughlin pointed to Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant organization seen as a terrorist group in the eyes of the West and now a legitimate political player, and also reached back centuries to the brutality of English royalty.

“If you look at what the English kings did to consolidate their territories in the 14th and 15th centuries,” he said, “they were not only beheading people but disemboweling them.”

William McCants, the director of the Project on U.S. Relations With the Islamic World at the Brookings Institution in Washington, and an expert on the evolution of the Islamic State, said the historical analogies are accurate.

“We in the West have bought into this idea that insurgency and counterinsurgency is a battle for hearts and minds,” he said. “We forget how many states have been established through brutality.”

...

Inside Islamic State territory, the group’s violence is regarded differently than it is in the West. In the communities it controls, citizens have already grown inured to violence. In Iraq, citizens have lived with war for more than a decade, including the days of sectarian civil war when a signature act of some Shiite militias was to drill the heads of Sunnis. And before that, they lived under the police state thuggery and corruption of Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party.

Now there is a limited sense of order, and cleaner streets, a low bar, perhaps, but a reality amid years of war and anarchy. Hassan Hassan, an analyst who has studied the Islamic State and a co-author of a book on the group, said that on the ground there is “a logic of savagery.” If people avoid any sign of dissent, he said, they can largely go about their lives.

“Not happily,” he said, “but they can live at peace.”

He added, “They feel like there is a functioning state.”

Can I correctly paraphrase this as "I'll believe the land numbers, not the satellite numbers?"
