Superstition is PRACTICE, the theory is nothing.

All superstitions are based on lies. They cannot be proven, therefore they should be treated as nonsense and their adherents as delusional.

Prove your Sky Fairie exists or piss off. Do it NOW. Here, in this thread.
Lies and liars merit no respect.

End the discussion forever by proving your Imaginary Friend is real.

A Communist enables all Communists by being Communist, and so does a Superstitionist enable all his/her fellow Delusionals.

Religion, ALL of it, is based on lies. No Sky Fairie can be proven, and therefore there is no reason to treat belief in such fantastic absurdity with other than contempt.

The modern anti-education movements are ALL religionist.

Pay attention, politically and historically ignorant AC:

We went to war to get AL QAEDA.

There was never a prospect of turning Kabul into San Francisco.
We cannot make Muslims convert to free-thinking.

What happened was "mission creep", and it cost the US dearly. Unlike Iraq, A-stan has Pakistan for a neighbor and the "Pakiban" government hate our guts as they take our money to arm against India.

The Cold War utterly dwarfed the current Al Qaeda/Talisquabble, including 9/11, and cost far more casualties.

While the 1970s have passed from living memory, in those ancient times the world was racked with contention between great nuclear kingdoms. They waged "proxy wars" because Mutual Assured Destruction preserved the world from nuclear war as it does now....

Part of wearing down the US was entangling it in the Viet Nam conflict, and part of wearing down the Soviets was wearing them down with an equally worthless set of local clients in Afghanistan.

The US then made the mistake of trying to teach a pig to sing (which never works and annoys the pig) and must now extricate itself from a trap baited with American hubris.

Have some numbers:

The US did great things in the ETO and with Lend-Lease aid to the other Allies, but the Red Army destroyed far more of the Wehrmacht.

All violent anti-education movements after the Cold War ended are RELIGIOUS in nature.

Superstition is the enemy of free thought because it is the enemy of critical thinking. The only folks who don't get that ARE superstitionists.

I'll recant if anyone can PROVE (not fucking "faith" or "axioms", but cold hard irrefutable proof) their Sky Fairie exists and bow before their Deity's Noodly Appendage. Otherwise, all superstition merits scorn and contempt because it is not proven to beTruth.

Except as someone else confirmed, their site works fine in IE if you tell it to lie about what browser it is to bypass their block page. Go read through the Slashdot comments. So they are full of shit. It is either pure zealotry, or marketing (I'm betting marketing).

And hey, if you want to tell me "IE support costs extra," I'll say "Ok no problem, I'll remove you from the bid list." When I'm drawing up a list of companies for work that we are going to look as potentials for a solution, failure to support what we want and/or stupid shit will get you knocked off the list, we'll just go on to others.
