Is reading wikipedia really research? I mean it worked for A&P in college but this might not be the perfect tool to illustrate a religious point (as much as I like wikipedia).
Just take excerpts directly from the Quran, then all you have to face is "it's a translation and was misunderstood".
Why would you respect the spread of ignorance? Which is all religion is, ignorance... that's why Islam is growing so fast, they target uneducated youth. When religion gets to shape young minds everyone suffers.
Does a crystal radio count even though there's nothing meaningful to receive? What about a Casio watch... I just found one in my storage (over 5 years old) and its still going.
No, but how about offering a "choice", windows that darken when requested and also allow the passenger to look out if desired.
That seems to be the main component missing in everything new these days (especially software)... a choice. Instead we are forced/told how it will be, and with copyrights escalation to included firmwares and anything else an user might change... well I leave you to think about the implications.
Well i isn't just poo and pee in there, there's a lot of chemicals as well. Would the purification process remove everything? That sounds very very expensive. And if it wouldn't remove everything then you will get exposure to SSRI's, antibiotics, and whatever else spawns up in that chemical soup.
Do animals share food because they "expect a return"???
Yes.
Though trying to bring animal behavior into a conversation about human nature is disingenuous on your part, this is your way of creating a side argument meant to derail the original point.
"basic human nature" evolved to its present state without capitalism
It's a basic human desire/nature to want to control the things you have earned, if the hunter kills a deer he wants to make sure his family gets the best meat and gets fed first. He will share the leftovers with the tribe because he gains a promise of return via the safety of the group, respect, recognition, and a bonding within said group.
Capitalism, as an economic concept, appeals to human nature because the individual controls the "wealth" and distribution.
Communism means that the group decides what gets done with your deer, and your family may or may not get enough to eat. Therefore communism is an unnatural artifice the rubs human nature the wrong way, this is why communism always fails.
"isagree" all you want, human sharing always contains the component of return, if people never got anything for it they wouldn't "share". People, either consciously or not, share when they think they will get a return, which could be anything from "a good feeling" to a favor that can now be asked for because they shared something.
Share as a display of wealth or power, sharing with the intent it will some how be returned (an investment), sharing because "God wants you to" or "good feelings".

We will continue to win battles and will convert the world.
Just like the Crusades did huh.... HUH....
Yes that's what I have always said about Exodus 34:14
Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
What a show of petulant weakness.

Maybe carry a gun?

Appears as more of a flattened ball, disk shaped or is that photo distortion? I guess that's still "round".

They all seem to appear right where you would expect stress fractures to be on a body shaped like this.
Any word on whether or not America will ever upgrade (and repair) it's rail lines?
No, but how about offering a "choice", windows that darken when requested and also allow the passenger to look out if desired.

Of ethically challenged humans.

When did any musician deserve to be a millionaire? Since when did pop music Or any music) become such a lucrative career?
THEY PLAY MUSIC.... that's it, besides if you took the money out of it only the true artist would stay.
Ask yourself, why did music become so important?
Proving what I have always said, musicians get paid too much and music isn't worth a dollar a song.
Closer to .05$ a song or less.
Now if we can just keep them out of politics....
"As you’d expect, it’s an awkward mess."
The only time the public is asked prior to legislation, is to use their ignorance to further the agenda of someone already intent on banning "drones".
Polls are useless for factual data, they are however handy for manipulating public opinion.

Why would I expand on disagreeing with this
That's how instincts work, animals, including humans, do stuff because it feels good.
That sounds like something a 4 year old would say, and you refuted your own statement.
Those penalties seem overly harsh.
That's how instincts work
Nope.

Again, is this supposed to be funny?
every other species gets along just fine without currency
They eat each other too.
Perhaps you can explain further why making money is fundamental to the human experience
That was never my argument.
Are you really this dim? Or is this your idea of a joke?
