My point is that the entities providing the solutions only start providing the solutions when there is a threat to their own constituents. If Ebola was still a disease that primarily threatened developing nations, there would be less attention paid to it.

You seem to have no problem with that, but it's not really clear why you have no problem with that based on your comments.

Your problem is that you're obsessed with the idea that gender = physical sex. Your entire post is about physicality, especially surgical modifications. Gender is a social construct. Your gender expression is determined by culture and conditioning ... not your genitals.

You expressed a bunch of ignorant opinions. They're not "facts" if you don't actually make reference to anything ... and comparing someone's gender to "masquerading as the Predator" is insulting.

Fuck you, dude.

Ah yes, the classic "homosexuals = pedophiles" argument.

The difference is obviously that children are not able to legally consent to sexual activity.

Go post your homophobic rants somewhere else.

Transgendered women are not "men trying to impersonate women," and your comments about aliens and hobbits are insulting and you know it.

This is a hugely privileged and willfully ignorant gender-essentialist rant.

I personally have more issues from dirty bible thumpers talking about all of us going to hell than I've ever been threatened by a Muslim.

Yep.

People do commit violence and terrorist acts in the name of Jesus Christ. The KKK is a notable example of this.

Here are just a few recent examples of terrorist acts committed by Christians for religious reasons that I was able to find with very little research:

Sabra and Shatila massacre

Maronite Christian militias perpetrated the Karantina and Tel al-Zaatar massacres of Palestinians and Lebanese Muslims during Lebanon's 1975–1990 civil war. The 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre, which targeted unarmed Palestinian refugees for rape and murder, was considered to be genocide by the United Nations General Assembly.[44] A British photographer present during the incident said that "People who committed the acts of murder that I saw that day were wearing [crucifixes] and were calling themselves Christians."[45] After the end of the civil war, Christian militias refused to disband, concentrating in the Israeli-occupied south of the country, where they terrorized Muslim and Druze villages and forcefully recruited men and boys from those communities into their groups.[46]

Utøya Island killings

In July 2011, Anders Behring Breivik was arrested and charged with terrorism after a car bombing in Oslo and a mass shooting on Utøya island that killed 77 people. Hours prior to the events, Breivik released a 1,500-page manifesto detailing his beliefs that immigrants were undermining Norway's traditional Christian values, and identifying himself as a "Christian crusader" while describing himself as not very religious.[73][74] Although initial news reports described him as a Christian fundamentalist,[75][76] subsequent analyses of his motivations have noted that he did not only display Christian terrorist inclinations, but also had non-religious, right-wing beliefs.[77][78] Mark Juergensmeyer and John Mark Reynolds have stated that the events were Christian terrorism,[79][80] whereas Brad Hirschfield has rejected the Christian terrorist label.[81]

Lord's Resistance Army

The Lord's Resistance Army, a cult and guerrilla army, was engaged in an armed rebellion against the Ugandan government in 2005. It has been accused of using child soldiers and of committing numerous crimes against humanity; including massacres, abductions, mutilation, torture, rape, and using forced child labourers as soldiers, porters, and sex slaves.[82] A quasi-religious movement that mixes some aspects of Christian beliefs with its own brand of spiritualism,[83][84] it is led by Joseph Kony, who proclaims himself the spokesperson of God and a spirit medium, primarily of the "Holy Spirit" which the Acholi believe can represent itself in many manifestations.[85][85][86][87] LRA fighters wear rosary beads and recite passages from the Bible before battle.[83][88][89][90][91][92]

Christian Identity and anti-abortion killings

After 1981, members of groups such as the Army of God began attacking abortion clinics and doctors across the United States.[93][94][95] A number of terrorist attacks were attributed by Bruce Hoffman to individuals and groups with ties to the Christian Identity and Christian Patriot movements, including the Lambs of Christ.[96] A group called Concerned Christians was deported from Israel on suspicion of planning to attack holy sites in Jerusalem at the end of 1999; they believed that their deaths would "lead them to heaven".[97][98]

The motive for anti-abortionist Scott Roeder murdering Wichita doctor George Tiller on 31 May 2009 was the belief that abortion is not only immoral, but also a form of murder under "God's law", irrespective of "man's law" in any country, and that this belief went "hand in hand" with his religious beliefs.[99][100] The group supporting Roeder proclaimed that any force is "legitimate to protect the life of an unborn child", and called on all Christians to "rise up" and "take action" against threats to Christianity and to unborn life.[101] Eric Robert Rudolph carried out the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in 1996, as well as subsequent attacks on an abortion clinic and on a lesbian nightclub. Michael Barkun, a professor at Syracuse University, considers Rudolph to likely fit the definition of a Christian terrorist. James A. Aho, a professor at Idaho State University, argues that religious considerations inspired Rudolph only in part.[102]

Terrorism scholar Aref M. Al-Khattar has listed The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord, Defensive Action, The Freemen Community, and some "Christian militia" as groups that "can be placed under the category of far-right-wing terrorism" that "has a religious (Christian) component".[103]

Well, for one, people should stop saying ignorant things like "nobody should have the right to practice a religion that tells you to kill infidels in the instruction manual" and calling for Islam to be banned, while ignoring the fact that Christianity has pretty much the exact same problem.

Religion isn't the problem, the problem is violent religious extremists. Well, you might be able to argue that religion is a problem, but you can't single out just one religion. People have killed in the name of pretty much every religion to ever be created.

that government regulation reduces rather than increases competition.

So does that explain why my local cable company has a complete monopoly on all cable internet access? Oh, wait ...
