He said nothing of the sort. He didn't even allude to anything of the sort. You are the one whose brain immediately sprang to your racist conclusion. It's not a case of "dog whistle racism" but "DNS-and-BIND is a racist idiotism". Thanks for letting us know just how messed up your brain is.
Quick! Everyone! Ignore the actual studies showing the effectiveness of the NHS because some muppet has an anecdote and an ideology-enforcing guess of an alternative outcome!
One would end up voting for politicians who also deny great swathes of science because it doesn't sit right with their preconceived notions of how the world works. Yaaay.
Stop reading and watching LGBT media, then, as those are the only places which could cause the "problem" you are experiencing. Or just grow up. Either would work, really.
That's the thing - even if it was written by God, it's completely undiscernible from what people would have written at the time, so I don't know what he's attempting to bring to the table with regards to knowledge, which for an omniscient being is a strange position to take.
Abiogenesis is what happened before evolution. It has nothing to do with evolution apart form setting the scene for it to happen. You continually conflating the two (even after having it explained to you) will get nothing but ire, as you are engaging in the same willful ignorance creationists use when they lump all other kinds of non-related theories/hypotheses together when criticising evolution. Abiogenesis is not part of evolution, so please stop trying to claim they're part of the same thing:)
Your post sounded very much like you don't care for science, and just want to hear what will make you feel content with doing nothing. If that is not the case, try not attacking scientific findings while asking for scientific findings. You'll look less insane that way.
Clearly it depends on the person you're locked in there with. There are some crazy-ass Jews who could kill you, some crazy-ass atheists, some crazy-ass Mormons, some crazy-ass Buddhists, some crazy-ass Scientologists, and some crazy-ass Muslims who would too. You are clearly being incredibly prejudiced, which is not the hallmark of a soundly-functioning brain. The thing is you can not assume from which group your person comes whether they will kill you or not, as none of the groups you mentioned are homogeneous - people are people, and vary wildly even in relatively-small groups. The fact some of your groups number over billions, yet you seem to think they all think and behave the same, speaks of your complete unwillingness to engage in rational thought on the matter. The further fact that you thought it worthy or sane to post your admission of irrationality to the public shows you really don't understand what's going on.
Are you confusing the words "Islamist" and "Muslim"? It seems you are. Not doing so will make you look less of a lunatic, but only a little bit.
The thing is they kill innocent people by misidentifying their targets, and when they kill they frequently kill innocent bystanders as well. They, to me at least, are the sort of people I'd be more comfortable living in a world without.
Iran didn't call for Israel to be wiped off the map, as there is no such Persian idiom.
Ahmadinejad was quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini in the specific speech under discussion: what he said was that "the occupation regime over Jerusalem should vanish from the page of time." No state action is envisaged in this lament; it denotes a spiritual wish, whereas the erroneous translation - "wipe Israel off the map" - suggests a military threat. There is a huge chasm between the correct and the incorrect translations. The notion that Iran can "wipe out" U.S.-backed, nuclear-armed Israel is ludicrous
All religions do. Islam is no worse or better than any other you care to pick. You just seem to be having a difficult time differentiating between a very vocal, very small minority of believers with the rest of them. That speaks more to your lack of understanding, or your desire to jump to knee-jerk conclusions of over a billion people because you're too ignorant or hate-filled to figure it out like an adult. But I'm sure I'm wasting my time trying to point this out to you.
Something is horribly wrong with this discussion when a factual post is labelled Troll simply because it points out some truths which go against the usual cluster-hate-fuck against Islam.
And you can't tell the difference between a religion which is practiced peacefully by the vast majority of adherents, a literal interpretation of the texts not made by the same vast majority of the adherents, and those assholes who take a fundamentalist bent in any religion.
You really should stop commenting on this. It's quite telling you posted anonymously - you're too cowardly to stick by your words, as you know they're based on a childish oversimplification of very complicated matters.

Or maybe if people stopped considering racist assholes as normal, the US would be a better place to live...
There is a very good chance that one of your ancestors was in that very position, so you are essentially calling for yourself to have never existed.
Why from India? Because they do have lots of very talented developers, regardless of your preconceived notions tell you.

Apart from it not being anything of the sort, you are entirely correct.
Weird, right? People not trying to hide scientific knowledge? Bizarre!

Which, judging by the responses above, might also have terrible support. Yay?

There he goes again with the insane anti-Muslim nonsense he's becoming so famous for. Brilliant work, sparky.
Because 95% of 1L of gas is not the same as 95% of 2L of gas.

Given your frequent confusion on this subject, you might want to sit the next few plays out.
If you believe that you don't know what you're talking about or you are lying. Pick one.
Iran signed the NPT in '68 and ratified it in '70, fyi.

You are arguing your emotion-drenched opinion, not fact. Remember that.
