Funny how a theory of global destruction is such a big deal when radiation from Fukushima is blanketing the globe and is a very real threat proven to exist. Why do you consider this less of a threat?
Lets assume what you say is true, what can we do to stop it ? Do you understand what I'm getting at ? What is the level of radiation I will receive from this from the other side of the world ? How does it compare to existing background radiation ? Maybe the point is you have a lot to learn. Unless you want me to start sending invoices for tutoring maybe you should learn for yourself. P.S. Answering a question with more questions is not an answer. Ok, I'll edit it. Lets assume you are correct. There is nothing we can do about Fukishma. It is 100% a complete red herring. You obviously can't use logic. The amount of radiation I am receiving from Fukushima is not measurable, and furthermore any radiation I measure can not be attributed to Fukushima. Correlation does not mean causation. If you are a tutor, then move amongst retards with money because that is the only way it'll work ! Although totally free to insult anyone including myself, making a "scientific" point about your position by calling people "retards" or edit your post days later might not be the best or smartest move. I am just saying... Keep on the good work though. Don't be afraid. Never edit anything back! Be proud of what you defend! Always! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Disturbing details are out. The woman was married to a Christian man for several years. They already had one child and she was pregnant with the second. The Sudanese are saying that they will stone her to death after the birth of her second child. And both the children will be taken away from her husband, to be brought up in an Islamic environment.
Let us observe the outcry pouring from all over the place and social networks. Let us admire the crowd chanting "No Justice! No Peace! Free Meriam Now!" Any hashtag from Michelle Obama #FreeMeriamNow campaign coming? you may complain about michelle obama doing that stunt, but it got the media outlets talking about it*.. and now a lot of people know what's going on. so it did have an effect, but you might just be spouting off the agenda of fox noise. *Well not just the media. They have elevated boko haram' status and strengthen their PR power... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FpzXxnF8.png&t=663&c=7MAUHuT54SMeag) http://hotair.com/archives/2014/05/16/has-our-state-department-started-a-hashtag-yet-for-the-soon-to-be-murdered-sudanese-christian-mom-yet/

It is pretty bizarre the only way to "defend" what Obama does now is to tell everyone he is simply a puppet, always has been, was never really too smart, nor responsible. Funny if it wasn't that sad...
Correct. He is religious. He's a puppet to the christian views. Really? I thought he was a secret muslim from kenya... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

this is one of the reasons why i don't like him. he campaigned on hope and change, and now he has become even worse against individual privacy. His primary goal has always been to be the united states president. If he does not obey the rules imposed by the secret service and powerful corporations he loses his profession/career. This 'change' is not in the interest of large corporations and neither is your privacy/freedom. It is pretty bizarre the only way to "defend" what Obama does now is to tell everyone he is simply a puppet, always has been, was never really too smart, nor responsible. Funny if it wasn't that sad...

Of course I am a fox noise pusher, whatever that mean. Did you know Boko Haram was rejected to be classified as a terrorist group by this obama administration? The same administration pushing for that "We are the world, we are the children" move? Even the Nigerian government was surprised by that. But what do you think about Meriam's situation? Are you going to create that ashtag in support of her? No need to answer of course if you do not feel comfortable...

This changed my views on a lot of things. I changed my position on a Texas proposal to require more transparency in campaign contributions. I now believe that there is some serious merit to keeping contributions secret.
If you change your position regarding more transparency then those people would have won. Don't forget he did nothing wrong and prop 8 was passed with a majority of voters in California. Only after a judge said that vote had no value. Transparency will not make them go away, i. e. the people you don't share your views with, but it will make everyone a bit less vampire looking and more sunshine lovers.

Why those muslims don't like facebook and youtube?
I would wildly guess they love facebook and youtube, their theocracy not that much? (Yes, Turkey is not a theocracy... Yet)

I really have no sympathy for the woman willing to die a martyr
I disagree with you. Many people in similar situations would have done the same thing that she did. She was a Christian, and was asked to convert to Islam. She refused to change her religion. I have respect for her. I am an atheist or agnost. If someone ask me to change my religion, I'd also tell him to GTFO. Would that make me a martyr? Of course that'd make you a martyr. If you're willing to die rather than say you believe in a particular set of boogeymen, absolutely. Not saying there's anything wrong with someone who'd rather die than feign beliefs, but there's no practical benefit to that, whether she insists on it or not. I lean pretty far toward hard agnosticism (you know, the "brain in a vat" & related crap), but I'm pretty comfortable saying she's dying for no legitimate purpose... but who knows what her thoughts all were here. Maybe she just wanted some type of Jizya-like status -- I could understand threatening to let a government kill you because you might be put in a reduced tax bracket and be released of conscription obligations. Not wanting to say "rock on, Allah, my rock" in court, though? Eh. It's a terrible, threatening precedent, sure. I'm sympathetic toward the cause of being able to believe as you please without your government killing you for it. The individual woman, though - not really. I'll troll so far as to say the ideal outcome of this would be the state following through with the execution, followed by the closet Christian population rising in arms against the government, bringing global fundie numbers way down. Doesn't matter who wins so long as everyone fighting fights for boogeymen. You know, though, I think there's an angle missing in a lot of these stories -- like who the woman actually is and why I should care about her death, or the death of everyone in Southern Sudan for that matter. Yeah, she's human, just like Hitler, so what? It's always about the state and their actions, their thought processes and laws, then the response of unrelateds. If my bud Jimbo Ayzaqyyola (I call him Allah for short) were tried and sentenced with the same results (but reverse which religious fanatics are in power) in Canada, I'd defend him, because Jimbo's a cool guy - came over for a minor plumbing issue, then freely helped me disassemble and learn about my water softener because he likes eradicating ignorance - and because he's an enjoyable, helpful fellow who did no wrong by me, shouldn't be killed, and should probably be killed for in defense of. That, I think, is a rational reason for an uprising - the "they're killing him because he disrespected Jesus" thing is secondary and frankly unimportant: it doesn't really matter why they're going to kill Jimbo if I'm reasonably sure Jimbo's a fine fellow. Maybe he catches his maid stealing from him and cuts off her hands and uses them to replace his front door knockers -- well, I'd still have to say Jimbo shouldn't go to prison because Jimbo's in my mental trust club and the laws can go fuck themselves. This is why I don't think all these massive, consolidated governments work -- we dump the community trust thing and start insisting we need to define absolutely every "bad" action in a 200,000 page law book nobody could possibly read in its entirety before dying - they're hard as Hell to understand and frequently misinterpreted or incorrectly applied, while punishment severity seems to be assigned randomly to crimes, where possessing LSD ends up being declared worse than double homicide. It's a junk system coming out of utopian minds where a government can govern 200,000+ people and do a better job at it than a judicial system made up entirely of 100 lightly-armed guys who walk around threatening to kill people when they do something obnoxious and sometimes pulling the trigger. And it's a double-solution there, because then these odd men who aspire to shoot and protect won't kill homeless loiterers for entertainment. ..... What're we talking about? "You know, though, I think there's an angle missing in a lot of these stories -- like who the woman actually is and why I should care about her death, or the death of everyone in Southern Sudan for that matter."Why should I care about your four paragraphs again? Why do you need to share your thoughts with other human beings on this forum? Why couldn't you simply ignore this thread? The reality is that even your action of writing how much you should not care about that situation defines you as a social creature with a need to share a personal story. Your personal story with your friend is no less valuable that the story of that pregnant woman. Writing those four paragraphs about your story proves it.

I understand why he wants Youtube to be banned....-------------------------------------------------------------------- Erdoğan allegedly punches man in Soma, aide kicks mournerPrime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan allegedly punched a young man several times in Soma on Wednesday, after a large crowd angrily protested the recent mining disaster in which an explosion and fire killed at least 283 mineworkers. Many people in the crowd protested Erdoğan's presence, shouting that he is a “murderer” and a “thief,” reportedly forcing the prime minister to take shelter in a grocery store. However, some reports claim that Erdoğan entered the store not to avoid the protests but rather to follow -- and subsequently punch -- a young man who had shouted at him outside the store. Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) deputy Lütfü Türkkan has claimed that he has spoken to the man who Erdoğan punched, saying that the young man's name is Taner Kuruca. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Ft5MGyhW.png&t=663&c=skx1C2EfQCKcHg) An adviser of Erdoğan kicked a mournerhttp://youtu.be/0g_Dnid86WUhttp://www.todayszaman.com/newsDetail.action?newsId=347824

Dr. Goodstuff is right. My err.. thermometer was acting up while I was reading his scientific paper...

It's a classic. I should repost that link every 5 pages or so... ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) i dont get it wilky, what you think of global warming? human's fault or not? Any natural event will have much more huge direct impact on the planet and to us than anything we may have in disturbing our planet's temperature dramatically, as history is proof of that fact. The climate change model now being pushed does not fit actual observation by science in the short, mid and long term. So why ban the scientific minds who are still looking for causes, real or not? I am just a dude who was deep into "climate change is hell! Believe it!" until I realized every solution for fighting it is based on taxing people and reducing the poorest of the poor to a perpetual Dark Age. I also realized the people with the "taxing solution" travel first class in jet engine commercial or private planes, get from their hotel to those convention in not so green limousines, eating out of season fruits, most of them left rotten on tables, among thousands of flyers saying "Save the Planet! Plant a tree!"... I use skype, google hangouts, sms, mms, emails. I rarely print any paper at all. I rarely print out my photography even. And yet I need to be reminded by Al Gore I am the one who should behave? That is rich... I asked dwma a question in post #841. Would love to have an answer from him.

Get these minority groups that come out and cry oppression and then everyone has to bend over backwards to make them happy Yes, like the people who complain that Subway sell Halal food and demand that their own food preferences be enforced on everyone else. They really should get over themselves. Yep... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FqVdcAmX.jpg&t=663&c=cyub1xnDwvf2aA) Now, the BBC reports that Google has received fresh takedown requests, from a former politician who’s currently seeking re-election and who wants mentions of his “behaviour in office” deleted. Also, a man convicted of owning images of child abuse has requested links about his convictions to be removed, while a doctor has sought to delete negative reviews from his patients. The ‘right to be forgotten’ case was proposed by the European Union in 2012, and it essentially means that an individual should be allowed to request that outdated or irrelevant information be removed from a company’s servers and therefore removed from being publicly accessible on the Web. The case was brought about by a Spanish man, Mario Costeja Gonzalez, whose name returned 16-year-old news articles about his sale of properties when he got into financial difficulties, which he wanted removed from the Web. Ironically, his past has become much more well-known since the outcome of this case. Though the EU ruling this week is still likely to be challenged from many quarters, we’re already beginning to see the implications this could have across the Web. And it will become increasingly difficult for Google, Microsoft and the rest to start censoring specific results. However, the Wall Street Journal reports that Google will create a mechanism for German users to request the removal of links to information within the next two weeks. http://thenextweb.com/insider/2014/05/15/politician-paedophile-doctor-already-asked-google-forgotten-says-bbc/
