First of all, I already pointed out that there are three sets of data that on the surface look very different but are nonetheless consistent if you look carefully. If you believe that your data "COMPLETELY obliterates" my claim then you need to check your numbers again. They don't add up (not...

With apologies to Chinese, the purpose of this thread is to highlight the absurdity of a parallel thread about the Muslims. This is not meant to question the hospitality of Chinese. I've been to China many times and love the place.

Why do tens of millions of Chinese immigrate to non-Chinese countries, while virtually no non-Chinese immigrate to a Chinese country (including China, Taiwan, and Singapore)? And would it be accurate to say that: 1. No Chinese country treats non-Chinese and their religions anywhere nearly...

It's the economy. US being the largest rich country that allows open immigration, of course would be the primary destiny for poor people all over the world. There are also large numbers of Fillipinos working in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but "virtually" none of them settle permenantly, because...

Is this the "intelletual honesty" you're looking for? You started the thread by claiming "virtually" no non-muslims immigrate to muslim countries. The fact is, there is a substantial nonmuslim population in at least one of the most restrictive muslim countries. There are obviously...

"Though the Republicans may be facing a political waterloo in November, here in the Blue State of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger is coasting to a victory under ever bluer skies." http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20060831/cm_thenation/15117439

First, you show your ignorance by claiming nonmuslims don't immigrate to muslim countries. After you're shown to be wrong, you turned to personal attacks without understanding the difference between two data sources. The older data source which states 10 million foreign population includes about...

You're using a different data source than mine. Yours probably says total population of 19 million, with 10 million foreigners, a large percentage of which is Yemenites as you stated. This was older data. I don't understand the difference. In the new data, the total population is much higher...

Fine, I don't dispute that. For once hapaboy decided to talk about real issues and he was way off the mark. Just shows his ignorance.

This assertion is factually incorrect. Saudi Arabia's population as of 2005 is estimated to be about 26.4 million, including about 5.6 million resident foreigners. Essentially all of those foreigners are not muslims. Percentage-wise this is much higher than the muslim popupation in the US or...

Have you ever heard of the placebo effect?

Do you think that God gives a damn? Whatever you call it, torture or not, it makes no difference to God. You're just one of many animals that God made. Don't be so arrogant and think that you're more important than the other animals.

Trading has little to do with logic. "Staying the course" would be the perfect recipe for trading disaster.

Moonbat is a term often used as a political epithet. Some Iraq War supporters use it to insult opponents like Noam Chomsky and Pat Buchanan.

You have some logic problem here. You're assuming that torture by human and torture by God are the same. They're not. Torture by human is wrong. Torture by God, however, is not wrong, since God is never wrong. All human sufferings are created by God. This is similar to immortality. It...

You gave the wrong link. The correct link is here: http://www.doug-long.com/quotes.htm (WHO DISAGREED WITH THE ATOMIC BOMBING?) On top of that list is Eisenhower. We all know that Eisenhower was a liberal who knew nothing about commanding an army in a large scale war. It was easy for him to...

Justice Antonin Scalia of the U.S. Supreme Court discussed his "favored version" of the tale in a footnote to his plurality opinion in Rapanos v. United States (decided June 19, 2006): "In our favored version, an Eastern guru affirms that the earth is supported on the back of a tiger. When...

You wanted context? Here it is: Mathew 23:34Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. You're partly right - the beginning of this part talked about Pharisees...

The difference between US and Europe is mainly because of religion, as shown in this study from the Journal of Religion and Society: http://moses.creighton.edu/jrs/2005/2005-11.html "The United States’ deep social problems are all the more disturbing because the nation enjoys exceptional per...

It's hard to argue alternative history. However, there is a huge difference in psychology between "they made this one super bomb and used it," and "God knows how many more of this bomb they have. It seems that they're going to use one every other day." Given the first situation, most people...
