OK, I'll bite. I don't give a shit about my karma, no one here listens to me anyway.
Why does the religion of peace need special instructions on how to act civilized?
Because all religions do.
Why is the religion of peace directly responsible for 28 out of the 30 violent conflicts raging in the world today?
'God told me to strike at al-Qaida and I struck them, and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam'
-- George W. Bush
Why is the religion of peace responsible for the vast majority of terrorism in the 20th and 21st Centuries?
Because terrorist groups were funded by western powers such as the CIA, France and Israel.
Why are the practitioners of the religion of peace routinely slaughtering unarmed practitioners of every other religion wherever they can get away with it?
Why does the religion of peace call for the murder of anyone who converts from the religion of peace to another religion?
Because the religion of peace is slightly less peaceful than other monotheist religions, but not much. And just like not all Muslims are like Mullah Omar, maybe not all Christians are like Pat Robertson, either.
Why do so many of the believers of the religion of peace look forward to the opportunity to rape 72 virgins in heaven if they die while killing innocent women and children of other religions?
Maybe the whole concept of going to heaven for being obedient to some guy in the clouds is fucking retarded in the first place.
Why do the leaders of the religion of peace routinely issue fatwas (death warrants) for anybody who questions their holy book of peace and their holy prophet of peace?
See #6.
Why is the religion of peace responsible for the sexual mutilation of millions of little girls and the savage oppression of women?
Why did millions of the practitioners of the religion of peace laugh, cheer and dance in the street because 3,000 innocent men, women and children were murdered by seventeen men who supposedly hijacked the religion of peace?
And why dont the real practitioners of the religion of peace condemn the supposed hijackers of their religion?
Because their websites were shut down by the FBI days before 9/11.
Frankly, I'm an atheist and I don't care about religion, but I'm sick of people being hypocrites. Are we going to use the excuse of the oh so evil Political Correctness to dehumanise the Muslims, as it happened to the Jews in Europe before the Holocaust? History has shown that there is far more to fear from fascism that grows in mass hysteria induced by propaganda than scarecrows used by chickenhawks to justify imperialism.
Isn't there a way to blow up that island in advance, so that the tsunami will be entirely predicted and planned? Like, put some explosives at several strategic places, and blow them up one at a time to divide the mega tsunami into many mini tsunamis.
It might be a REALLY long and REALLY expensive process, but the costs would be less than the casualties and enormous economical damages a tsunami would cause. How about using all those bombs for something useful, instead of dumping them on Iraqis?

You don't have to agree with everything Rivero says, but his arguments make sense, and it's interesting to look at stories the mainstream media aren't willing to cover. He has a very funny way to point out at obvious contradictions and coincidences, too.
As crazy as some of his theories might seem to some people, one has to admit that the official version of the facts offered by the government are sometimes just as crazy, if not more, than the alternative theories.
Let's not forget natural catastrophes. For instance, if we were still in the medieval ages, and a meteor was heading towards the Earth, how could we prevent it from annihilating us (assuming we would even see it coming)? Science may be dangerous if we don't use it with care, but it can be a life saviour.
Should we also stop research on cures for diseases just because we're afraid that the viruses spread over from medical labs?

No it doesn't.

You must be referring to the other religion of peace.

If those Americans move to Canada because they disagree with the Bush regime, then I don't see what we have to worry about.

Wince for Windows CE. How appropriate.
If we could use corn plastic in computers, could we use kernels for Linux?
Remember, this is Slashdot. So this situation is more like a geek tragedy. *laughs stupidly at his own joke*
