Yet the vast majority of Western legal systems are based on Christian principles. Do you complain about the fact that you can't steal your neighbour's car when you need a ride somewhere? Do you complain that you can't kill them because you don't happen to agree with their lawn decorations?

If it doesn't make sense to use this book as a moral guide, maybe we should all be telling the government to wiretap the whole country, bitching that they don't raise my kids for me, telling communication companies that they need to charge more for less, and drop all connections outside their network to 512 B/s, and get a job paying a billion a year as the CEO of a company that sells guns to 12 year olds so they can kill their parents when they get grounded.
Get a life, you hypocritical bastard.

Where can I sign up? I'd love to have the chance to troll terrorist sites for Uncle Sam.
Wait, what? Since when are there five decent tracks on a RIAA CD? The max is easily three, possibly two, and they grossly underestimated their figures either way.

I can get a review of a live-action remake of an anime and a review of a pornstar, all in the same discussion. This is why I still come here.
Oh, I wish I had some mod points, heh
I can't wait for the research study confirming the detrimental health effects of covering your head with tinfoil. It will drive people mad

It'll go lower. We're still in bubble mode, lol
Yes, yes, yes... but could you explain how any of these groups have been using pictures of nude people to terrorize society?
Goatse. It's a grand conspiracy of the highest level.
If you use IE6, the terrorists win. Use our browser instead!

...most political cartoons which use ad homonym attacks, misrepresentations, denigration, and derision...
I agree completely with your entire post, except it's ad hominem.
