why are all terror activities carried out in the world are by people of muslim religion?Why cant muslims let peace be there in the world?Are people of only muslim origins terrorist?so trumps decision by banning muslim is 100% correct?
What sort of unholy nonsense is this? 99% of Muslims probably don't commit terrorism or any other acts of violence. well, what is (100%-99%) = 1% of Muslims? How many is that?

.... I really do hope that everyone in power in the Catholic church sees some penalties and such -- I'd also LOVE to see these people go to trial.
I agree, but while we're at it let's extend that to all the Muslim pervs as well. Including those in positions of power. Oh wait, that's not allowed...

.... "By way of deception thou shalt do war."
The above is supposed to be the motto of the ....
Actually you can find it in many books and places. Certainly in Muslim war methodology and Muslim terrorist methods. In Machiavelli. In The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Etc, etc, etc. Fine. What other (purportedly) state sponsored intelligence or paramilitary organizations besides Mossad use it as their official motto? Would you assume that an organization who used it as their motto was prone to, or at least no allergic to, using deception as an element of their work?.... Well, for starters let's check our friend Wikipedia. Mossad's former motto, be-tachbūlōt ta`aseh lekhā milchāmāh (Hebrew: בתחבולות תעשה לך מלחמה) is a quote from the Bible (Proverbs 24:6): "For by wise guidance you can wage your war" (NRSV). The motto was later changed to another Proverbs passage: be-'éyn tachbūlōt yippol `ām; ū-teshū`āh be-rov yō'éts (Hebrew: באין תחבולות יפול עם, ותשועה ברוב יועץ, Proverbs 11:14). This is translated by NRSV as: "Where there is no guidance, a nation falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety."Hmm.... Does not seem to agree with your assertions....

These are private companies which are crossing the line into the arena of public utilities, and regulation is probable...in those countries such as the USA where it has not already occurred. It already exists in many places.
What do I suggest? Open source is the only solution to this technical problem. Near monopolies come and go in the blink of an eye in the software world.
What if it was your bitcoin wallet, and some guys with closed source were making assertions about how great it was?
I mean how do you suggest to actually make it happen. An open source alternative may be better in some ways but that's not a solution, more like a wish. How do we create it and entice people to use it? Government regulation can slap a fine on Google, or ban it, or criminalize its use. Government regulation isn't gonna give you an alternative, let alone a fair one. Look at Microsoft's monopoly woes back in the 90s and government's actions against it. We didn't get open source Windows out of it. Owing to market forces we got some competition decades later, ironically in the form of a somewhat open source OS from Google, but here we are again. First would be attempting to correctly state the problem and the solutions as we have been doing here. Don't underestimate the importance of this simple requirement. Not saying that this is all 100% perfect construction of the issue...

This is a good one. Cancer is one of the diseases that has really threatened mankind and so stubborn to any treatment and very fast on the victims. One way I think blockchain technology can be utilized in via data sharing. In almost all our hospitals or clinic data transfer even between two nearby desk takes so much time and some times leads to unwanted delay that ends badly with the patients. If blockchain can be used to hasten data transfer while protecting it privacy I will a long way in helping the not only the patients but the entire healthcare sector. Honesty with blockchain technology there is limitless possibilities.
It's useful to actually correctly understand the "medical privacy problem." Medical privacy rules are covered in the USA by HIPAA rules. These make sharing data extremely simple for some, and extremely difficult for others. Extremely simple - Government agency -- other agencies, law enforcement at all levels Extremely hard - you to give / show your data to other individuals You see? Blockchain is being actually proposed here as a way around stupid government regulations.

I'm inclined to the opinion that the algorithms of the likes of Google, Facebook and Twitter are crude and amateurish.
Probably not crude / amateurish but quite shitty in many other ways. But what do you suggest - force them to open source it, or force some government regulation of "fairness"? These are private companies. Facebook and Twitter are not really essential to anyone so who cares. Google has a near-monopoly position in search and a duopoly in smartphones so there is quite a bit of government pressure on them already, particularly in Europe. These are private companies which are crossing the line into the arena of public utilities, and regulation is probable...in those countries such as the USA where it has not already occurred. It already exists in many places. What do I suggest? Open source is the only solution to this technical problem. Near monopolies come and go in the blink of an eye in the software world.

by the phrase " any system of beliefs" and based on your statement "I (and millions others) do not believe/worship/pray to a god/gods/superhuman/supernatural power.". By simply saying that (you do not believe in god = You believe that God did not exist). Therefore atheism is still a belief system....
Maybe or maybe not, but you have not proved it with your illogic. There is no equality where you placed it.

Every day, we state facts briefly. You might say "That man is a criminal." You don't cite the cases and details. .....
Anecdotes are not facts... you are still wrong, just stop with your nonsense .....
Not an anecdote. Saying "That man is a criminal" is stating a fact. It's true, another party might say "I don't believe it. Prove it." Then it's incumbent upon the first to state the underlying details. Just go attend a chemistry class. Nothing but exposition of facts without underlying support. All of science is this way. However, the underlying facts exist. Religion is in fact based on belief, not fact in any sense. It's silly and ignorant to argue otherwise.

Technologically we are far away from being capable of colonizing another planet. Yes, we may visit, we may even establish a small settlement there, but making it habitable or reaching one in the "Goldilocks" zone (habitable zone, not too far, not too close to a star) is not possible in the foreseeable future.
If one could glimpse into the future, it would be interesting what man accomplishes in space in the next thousand years. I am a bit doubtful in colonizing other planets in the near future. We do not have the technology yet to travel from earth to other planes (e.g. spacecrafts). We can only send some satellites to explore but not human beings. This is not bad but good. These robot machines go places we cannot. Some take a decade to reach their destination. Spacecraft which might be built in the future to go to other stars would take centuries, or thousands of years to reach their destination, and return their findings by light or radio, What we accomplish in space certainly can be by way of our robots and remote sensors.

... Google and facebook are data sluts. They suck up all our personal information. So - I don't trust them.
I also don't trust any research that is being touted by Trump. ....
Sounds like we're in agreement on the basics. I suspect if I suggested extending that list of persons not to be trusted to include other politicians of your preference we'd still be in agreement. Why exactly did you hold the view there was nothing interesting about the Google search that showed 0 hits for "crime" on Hillary, but numerous for Trump? Because Trump is a serving president embroiled in controversy. People close to him George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort and Rick Gates all have been charged / convicted of crimes. Some of those crimes benefited Trump. Hillary Clinton is no longer in a position of authority. A "has been". Just like people don't write about George W Bush anymore. The only people that would be interested in Hillary are the people that want to deflect attention from Trump. I doubt that Democrats are googling Hillary. Really - Hillary's computer is old news - it got boring during the election already. Jared has done almost the same thing. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ivanka-trump-jared-kushner-emails-security-clearances-revoked-democrats-latest-a7986541.htmlI've never been to the USA so a lot of American political antics don't affect me but I know he will leave a big mess behind. He breaks relationships with other nations and then expects credit for partly patching it up again. He might have drained the swamp - but have you ever seen the creatures a freshly drained swamp attracts ? The attack on the media and now on google I see as an assault onto journalistic speech. That is a worry in any country. I agree that politicians generally are not to be trusted. It is the only occupation where you can advertise lies and not get shut down by the authorities for false advertising. Here is the problem. When experiments and research in various fields such as psychology and medicine are done, blind and double-blind experimental protocols are used. This means for the blind protocol, that the test operators in contact with the subjects do not know what the purpose is. For the double blind those who supervise the test operators do not know. These are used because the pervasive effects of bias make accurate findings impossible without the strictest of these protocols. Now I could argue that your analysis is biased and imperfect. But that's not the point. The point is that the protocols used by the likes of Google and Facebook are biased and imperfect. In other words, you would defend with bias, biased protocols that are in turn the natural output product of biased individuals. Yet these are the very projects which blind and double blind experimentation is well understood to handle. There can be no in between. There is only a scientific approach or a biased approach. There is no defense that can be made by Google without providing facts and algorithms, and that they (apparently) will not do. We know from the history of cryptography that the algorithms held secret are the easiest to break, or to find flaws in. Those which are published and critiqued repeatedly, right out in the open, are the strongest security methods by far. I'm inclined to the opinion that the algorithms of the likes of Google, Facebook and Twitter are crude and amateurish.

Socialist nations make progress when they move AWAY from socialism.
Even Cuba, today, does not ban the accumulation of private wealth. Both China and Russia support private capitalism. One may not like the Russian gangster version or the Chinese version, but they have moved FAR from socialist principles and ideology.
After the Venezuelan people restart their economy, if they still want leaders who promise them free stuff, it's pretty hopeless. Of course, they do, the farther and farther away you get from socialism the closer and closer you get to the system that ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!!!!! Ding ding ding ding, we have a winner. I wouldn't even consider China a socialist country, they're really not in any regard. Though I do hope that the people of Venezuela have learned their lesson, in that their country is ruined forever if they go down this path again. Though, people forget quickly. Somewhat related but certainly good for a laugh... Even Cuba has admitted the need for a strong private sector. https://www.local10.com/news/cuba/cubas-new-regulations-for-private-sector-faces-resistance

50 people died in a bus attack in Yemen and 77 were injured, most of whom were children, the International Committee of the Red Cross stated, citing officials. The Saudi-led coalition has called the attack "legitimate." The Saudi-led coalition later said the airstrikes were aimed at missile launchers used to attack the southern Saudi city of Jiza.....
Maybe Yemenis should not be targeting Saudis with missiles? Were the missiles shot from the bus or the 50 kids? Once the shooting starts, one of the consequences is imprecision and tragedy. Are you going to simply continue to ignore the original cause or not? Where did these Houthis get ballistic missiles and why are they firing them at Saudi cities? Why just dont say the 50 kids are collateral damage then? Sure, let's do it. But let's not be blinded by the horrible tragedy and have that cause us to stop thinking. The Saudis and the Houthis have what exact quarrel over what, exactly? Looks like more Muslim <--> Muslim nonsense with guns and ballistic missiles and fighter jets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houthi_movementThe movement's expressed goals include combating economic underdevelopment and political marginalization in Yemen while seeking greater autonomy for Houthi-majority regions of the country.[37] They also claim to support a more democratic non-sectarian republic in Yemen.[38] The Houthis have made fighting corruption the centerpiece of their political program.[25] The Houthis took part in the 2011 Yemeni Revolution by participating in street protests and by coordinating with other opposition groups. They joined the National Dialogue Conference in Yemen as part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) initiative to broker peace following the unrest. However, the Houthis would later reject the November 2011 GCC deal's provisions stipulating formation of six federal regions in Yemen, claiming that the deal did not fundamentally reform governance and that the proposed federalization "divided Yemen into poor and wealthy regions". Houthis also feared the deal was a blatant attempt to weaken them by dividing areas under their control between separate regions.[37] In late 2014 Houthis repaired their relationship with the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, and with his help, they took control of the capital and much of the north.[39] In 2014–2015 Houthis took over the government in Sana'a with the help of the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and announced the fall of the current government of Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi.[40][41] Houthis have gained control of most of the northern part of Yemen's territory and since 2015 have been resisting the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen that claims to seek to restore the internationally recognized Yemeni government[42] to power. Could anyone seriously imagine that the Saudis would want a neighboring country run by people that fire ballistic missiles at Saudi cities?

Without knowing their exact methodology and having other researchers check it - I would be skeptical to accept it on face value. ....
That's pretty funny. I start out and say "Don't Trust Google" and you are saying "Don't trust people who tell you ... you shouldn't trust google..." I just tried the auto complete test again. Hillary cri = NOT ONE of ten about crimes Trump cri = SIX of ten about crime Really that's pretty simple, isn't it? Doing exactly the same thing with Duck-Duck-go, both Trump and Hillary show four of eight responses with the phrase "crime."

Religion and science are actually very related, and have gone hand in hand for several decades, up till the concept of creation and the source.
Both comprises of zealots, who are totally opposed to the other.
Although one is based on faith, and the other faith in facts
If science is faith in facts, what is religious faith? Faith without facts? How is that better? "Faith in facts" is an oxymoron... the word faith implies lack of evidence/facts..... In ancient times, one king might have said to another... "It's a fact that my zealous religious cult soldiers are not afraid to die". The other might have said, "My populations are taught that homosexuality is evil, and that sex with a virgin is wonderful. It's a fact that this increases the birth rates and maximizes the number of soldiers for my troops. Let's combine these two methods." Facts? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact"A fact is a statement that is consistent with objective reality or can be proven with evidence." Given zero evidence is provided, neither statement is a fact The fact that you asked the question tells me that you don't even understand the word, fact Except that you are wrong. In the example of the two kings discussion, each asserted the existence of a fact. "Can be proven with evidence" does not mean "was proven". Every day, we state facts briefly. You might say "That man is a criminal." You don't cite the cases and details.
