While I really understand the feeling, I totally disagree with it, as it is the wrong thing to do. Fingerprinting and photographing people at the border is wrong. It should not be done. It doesn't stop terrorists, it may make it a bit less convenient for them to do their thing, but that inconvenience is limited to the crossing of borders. When a would-be terrorist has crossed the border, it's kinda too late already. Fingerprinting is no deterrent after the border has been crossed. It's just stupid to believe otherwise.
Not to mention that these security measures are based on the flawed assumption that anyone planning to engage in terrorism is already known to the authorities.
They have a 800 mb gameplay video that you can get using Blizzard Downloader, which uses Bittorrent. Too bad they forgot to seed the fucking thing! I'll just wait for Gametrailers to pick it up.
Life is too complex to have evolved spontaneously on its own.
What law of science states that complex life can't develop on its own?
Therefore God must have done it.
Ok, so who created him? He's way too complex to have just appeared from somewhere. Also, what's preventing God from setting up a universe where life can develop on its own? I thought he's supposed to be omnipotent.
If your opponent has drawn his weapon before you, it doesn't make much of a difference whether it's automatic or semi-automatic (assuming he can aim). If you draw before him, it also doesn't make much of a difference. If you got into a fire fight then I suppose it would make a difference, but you still wouldn't be defenseless.
A better thing to have said would have been "It's xenophobia, pure and simple".
No. Xenophobia is an irrational fear and/or hatred of foreign things and people. Since Muslims are responsible for the vast majority of terrorism today, it is only natural that law enforcement and security officials are more suspicious of Muslims. Thus, this "xenophobia" is only directed at a specific group of people for a specific, rational reason.

Shit, we'd better inform all the game, book, film, music and art critics that they have to stop working unless they can do better.

Except... not. A baby does not suddenly materialize into existence and then just hang around for nine months.
A virus is life too, but I don't see anyone morally objecting to antibiotics.
Really? Who's going to make that decision for us, then?

It's not racism, it's just pragmatic. Muslims aren't a race anyway.
Who's going to stop me, or even object? Mother Nature is not a person.
