    I don't like the Libertarian Party itself though. They would be just as bad for the country. Not that Congress would let them do anything.

    That's exactly what half this board would want to do.

    Which is pretty disgusting.

    How about people on this website? How many of them criticize Muslims and their actions?

    Just because I don't believe in God, doesn't mean I have to treat those that do with contempt. There is no logical reason to do so.

    And you really think that lack of religion would make wars go away?

    OK, you've pointed out two people who criticize Islam. Now how about the 40 bloodthirsty-because-of-a-conference-they-won't-attend douchebags in the comments above?

    The point wasn't that no one criticizes Islam. It is that the people on this board, and other similar boards, only focus their anti-religious hatred on one religion. As a person who isn't religious, I find it rather hypocritical and idiotic.

    Let them wallow in their beliefs.

    Sure, that's done a lot of good so far. Like all of the religious wars around the world.

    If 'religion' had never been invented, and all prehistoric people had applied logical answers to their difficult questions, so that now all beliefs were based on valid scientific reasoning, do you think people would never start wars?

    Oh, I know that. It just seems silly that the focus is on the i-beam, and not the things that the hat can actually protect against.

    Yes, insisting on using the exact derivative of fentanyl is being over pedantic.

  19. Re:in favor of "space suits" on NY Doctor Recently Back From West Africa Tests Positive For Ebola · · Score: 1

    By the way, a hard hat does not protect against an I-beam that weighs several tons. If a cable breaks and the beam drops on your head, that plastic cap isn't going to save your life.

    Yes, it was fentanyl. It kills by stopping the automatic breathing pattern. Victims suffocate.

    My wife is on a low dose of it for her back pain. She used to be on a much higher dosage, and on bad days, I didn't sleep at night. I had to stay awake to shake her every few minutes to get her breathing again. But it did make the pain go away.

    Those bodily fluids would have to be encapsulated in something else, a vial for example, or they will dry up and the ebola will die in hours.

    Then why is it so important to burn the bedsheets?

    Seems like they could just let them dry, then wash them with the rest of the linens. The ebola virus is dead, right?

    No. They are afraid of lowering their literacy rate.
