    But claim that the police recording license plates on the open highway is unconstitutional? Can't side with you.

    Show me the part of the constitution that can reasonably allow the government to track citizens for no particular reason.

    So by failing to point out the mistake in change, you would be comitting theft by inaction.

    But pointing it out and having it ignored makes it not theft.

    As an interesting aside, this definition of theft makes file-sharing a sort of contingent theft - it is only theft if you would otherwise have paid money for the file.

    No it isn't, or else not buying the latest britney spears CD is also theft.

    Fine, just as long as someone goes to jail when they screw up the other way.

    No, they deserve to eat it because that's what they try on us until we can prove they screwed up.

    A national Id number is illegal at the moment. You'd need a constitutional ammendment allowing it - good luck getting the states to ratify that.

    Of course, there are good illegal orders to continue to refuse to follow. "Seargent, kill that man!" "Sir, are you asking me to execute a Prisoner of War who is safely in custody?" "Yes, Seargent, that's exactly what I'm telling you to do."

    Who cares? In any case, the number of nutjobs is low enough that you can't make any judgements about nutjobness based on religion. Therefore, judging risk based on religion is pointless. You haven't demonstrated that islam has a disproportionate number of radicals or even provided evidence of how many, so why don't you go come up with some data. Otherwise, you come off as just another bigot.

    How did your response address his arguement?

    The fact that you can't say anything about someone being a muslim due to the low incidence of radicals isn't relevant to them possibly having most per capita than the christians?

    Islam has a diproportianate number of radicals.

    Compared to what? I've never seen this backed up in any meaningful way.

    Islam may not wash their hands of it by saying "well it's less then 10% of us"

    It's not 10% - that's 100m people. In a group the size of Islam, 100k people are .01% and still numerous enough to stir shit up.

    And what's this got to do with pedo priests?

    Just because the inverse of a statement (most muslims are terrorists) is false doesn't make the original statement (most terrorists are muslim) either false or irrelevant.

    Sure it does - youcan tell if someone is muslim without much trouble. Similarly, you can tell if someone is a woman more easily than whether they have breast cancer.

    terrorism is clearly a stain on the muslim faith.

    That's crap. Wahabish extremists are a stain on humanity, but so are various sects of christianity and judaism. Most muslims are normal people who detest people like bin ladin.

    How about the now famous poll done in England (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/n ews/2005/07/23/npoll23.xml) which found out that 6% of British Muslims FULLY SUPPORT the Tube Bombings on 7/7.

    I cite the crazy factor combined with statistical error. I'd like to see how many other groups I could get 6% of to support that sort of thing.

    Most Muslims are not terrorist, but a plurality to a majority often support terrorism, depending on the region in question.

    So would you if I phrase the question properly. If you assume that the people fighting us in Iraq are terrorists, then asking Iraqis if they support the resistance movement would show a majority that support terrorism.

    Which country would that be? Palestine? Never was such a country.

    Palestine and ISrael are the same country. It depends where you buy your maps which name shows up.

    Sorry, the theory that the Palestinians lived in peace and harmony signing kumbaya in their very own country till the Ebhil Djooos invaded and drove them out is a fantasy.

    Jackass. The Palestinians may have feuded among themselves before the whole israel/palestine thing got started, but that doesn't mean they haven't been screwing them recently. Watch something other than Fox news, okay?

    Again, so what? Or are you trying to say the PALISTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION is a bunch of Catholic terrorists? Wiccans maybe? Oh, so their stated purpose was secular, something about having a separate Palestine, but when that was offered they switched back to "da Jooos did it to us!!!11" That's not secular, that's just more plain muslem asshattery.

    The major players are israeli jews and palestinian muslims; the jews have been screwing with the palestinians for rather a long time and have gone so far as to build a wall and make all the palestinians stand in line to cross it (making them 2nd class citizens in their own country). In a very real sense, the (specific) jews did do it.
