"I expect many atheists in America will vote for Obama, because they hope he lies about his faith." I expect most atheists in America to be smart, which would mean they wouldn't care what his faith is as long as it's not extremist. Plus, he was/is the lesser of the evils.
"In Iran, Christians are prohibited from seeking Muslim converts..." Although I agree that's not democratic at all, I find the Christian practice of actively working on converting the people of other religious beliefs utterly disgusting.
Although I agree with you, I'd be willing to spend $200 instead of risking maiming or killing a person since it can happen to anyone - even the most experienced and cautious of drivers. Not to mention the fact that it can save much more in bumper repair.
You failed at reading comprehension I'm afraid. The GP didn't argue who killed more people, but wrote "He killed more people by his order than the entire population of Nazi Germany." Do you know what the population of the Nazi Germany was?
"I commute almost 100 miles to work every day, and I'm only slightly above average." The US mean time to work was 25 min in 2009. 100 miles in, say, 30 minutes. Let me guess... Superman?
"No, mandating a $200 per new car expense to eliminate a statistically insignificant number of deaths each year--that's about forcing everyone to pay a combined _$3 billion_ per year" Just a thought: would you still consider a death "statistically insignificant" and not worthy of spending money on prevention if it were your spouse or child?
"Steve Jobs was infamous for doing things like parking in handicapped spaces and daring cops to do anything about it." Seriously? I'd like to know more about it.
"Clinging to the outside of a submarine while it travels halfway around the world... " Actually, I consider that plausible. First, it traveled from the South-Eastern Mediterranean to - probably - Crete, during summer. Second, subs in those times submerged only in battle. I guess any man could pull it off if his other option was to drown.

"Eating a teaspoon of sugar..." ...is worse than eating two of fat.
The stupidity of that assertion is just another proof of the topic subject.

"English requirement for neutralization?" :)
You're scaring me

"Have you read what the Qur'an says about jews?"
No. Have you?
"They'd nuke Tel Aviv and Haifa without a second thought."
I think that assertion says more about yourself than Iran.

"He killed more people by his order than the entire population of Nazi Germany."
Where did you get that from?
I don't get it. Why would Russia import oil? They're one of the biggest exporters.
I drive about 9 miles each way and dream of a job where I could just walk to.
"You have no refineries."
Where did you get that?

I knew I should've saved a mod point just in case... :(
Not many people in the US realize that the most precious thing in life isn't money, but time.
"Freeeeeedooooom!!!!... Freeeeeedooooom!!!!... Aaaaaaaarghhhh!!!!"
Dude. Relax a bit.
What a great addition to the conversation. Bravo.
You are somewhat right, but the history of automobile industry destroying the streetcar transport system is very well-known.
Can you imagine the reaction of the retarded/hillbillies/libertarians?
b/c all people drive trailers?

I'm scared to think what the first thing was :D
Newsflash for you: Zundel is a German citizen.
