    Of course. That's exactly what I said, almost word-for-word. And must you post two replies to the same comment?

    Two of those are things christians used to do. The others are ones that, in the present day, christians do considerably less often than muslims.

    While "they're worse" is no excuse for doing something wrong it does disprove a laughably false claim of equivalence like yours.

    If it releases carbon dioxide (I think it does) then yes.

    This was 30 years ago, but IIRC by comparing 02 consumption to C02 output you can determine which type of respiration is occurring.

    If you want to redefine that to something else then you'll need the worldwide community to agree with you.

    Actually countries can decide for themselves who is and who isn't a citizen. Jus soli or Jus sanguinis are the two main priciples.

    Worldwide community, WTF is that?

    Maybe you can force them to agree with you... You know, bombs etc. sometimes do the trick?

    That says a lot more about your attitudes than it does mine.

    If ponder isn't the collective noun of philosophers then it should be.

    Also, the IRA's goal was to blow stuff up and survive. This involves getting in and either placing the device well in advance (which risks it being discovered) or sneaking out after depositing it (which risks either the device or the bomber being spotted).

    It's an order of magnitude harder.

    It appears the authorities were warned on five (!) separate occasions about this boy being mentally unstable and embracing terrorism by people who knew him personally. They ignored it.

    They get ten thousand similar reports a week. They can't possibly follow up on all of them.

    I'm surprised it isn't bimodal, since Polacks and Irish are white.

    And even if it turns out that genes account for 100 % of IQ variation that still does not eliminate the role of the environment and upbringing on how those genes (and hence, IQ) are expressed

    If one factor has any influence at all then no other factor can have 100% influence.

    Protip: unless you're a sports coach percentages add up to 100 by definition.
