Ok, 80-200 years ago: "of the 120 or so active shooting wars happening today, Chirstian are involved in over 100 of them" There is nothing unique in Islam or Christianity that makes them war prone(...)
Please read Surah 9:5 and 9:29 in the Quran, and tell me again that there is nothing in Islam that makes it war prone.
... the innocent civilian refugees dying in Gaza from missiles that are accurate enough to hit one car yet somehow manage to strike crowded residential areas every single day don't have the money to buy one of those. Or eat.
The reason Israels missiles "manage to strike crowded residental areas every single day", is simply becasue thats where Hamas sets up their rocket launchers. When you fire off rockets from within heavily populated civillian areas, despite the knowledge that your enemy is targeting your launch sites, bad stuff WILL happen.
However, if Israel hadnt kept on building settlements in the Palestinian areas of the west bank, sabotaging any attempt by the Palestinians to get a foothold in the U.N., or simply threated the Palestinians better, Palestinian resistance groups might not have felt as much need to attack Israel at any costs, but at the same time, firing off rockets towards your enemy from inside heavily populated civilian areas, makes Hamas at least party responsible for the heavy civillian losses in within Gaza City.
Maybe Israel should just take back what was Israel in 600 A.D., before muslims started conquering. Half of Egypt, most of Jordan, Lebanon and large chunks of Syria and Saudi Arabia were part of the state of Israel then. After all, it was taken from them by conquest, and that's all the justification muslims need, so why not do to them what they're doing to others ? They certainly deserve it.
Uhm, I think you spelled Byzantine Empire wrong.
Windows 8 is far more powerful than windows 7, and runs twice as fast. It is also much harder to pirate, and this point more than anything else has the Linux crowd in a panic.
It wont be long until Windows 7 is no longer supported, and when that happens, what is Linux going to do ?
Linux will have to find a way to work under Windows 8 from here on, since it wont be able to rely on Windows 7 being readily available anymore.
Linux may seem like a good alternative to Office, but all that is happening in linux is that the windows interface is cleverly hidden away. It still needs the drivers and software services in order to run, and in most cases - that happens WITHOUT a valid windows licence.
This is just plain piracy.
Windows 8 will finally put an end to this blatant abuse of intellectual property, and linux should decline, taking the pirates with it.
Anyone that supports the continuation of Windows 7 in place of Windows 8 surely has a hidden agenda
Haha, love it! Had forgotten about that one.
TIL: I'm actually black.
Congratulations.
Kudos for an informative and potentially helpful comment, nicely worded, concise, and polite.
Thanks but "nicely worded"? I don't know. Apparently I must have been quite tired when I wrote that comment, as the last sentence is weird, and probably should have been split in two...
Not people who share our views, but people who think it is OK to kill people they disagree with. They bloody shot some nuclear executive. They are terrorists, and unless they renounce terror, they should be resisted with the full force of the law.
Well, that is not what parent said, and not what I reacted too. What he said was "I say kill them all, kill all ludites and eco tree huggers", which goes beyond just the specific eco-anarchists that shot the nuclear executive.
And by the way, if you think it's okay to kill anyone who thinks it's okay to kill people they disagree with, what makes you different from the people you want to kill? Think about it.
Anarchists stand for obolition of governments, these retards are simply ludite/eco terrorists. I say kill them all, kill all ludites and eco tree huggers. The world would be a better place.
Yes. Let's just make it a rule to kill everyone who don't share our views. That would certainly make the world a much better place.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
