Riiiiiiiiight. Someone insults them and suddenly they decide to pursue nukes ? I'm sure that before that speech they did not have a single project to develop nukes. 1. The past decade has been about trying to "win hearts and minds" with our enemies in general. 2 & 3. Yes, of course. Every one of the world's ills is due do Israel defending itself. It's well known that that evil country will just not keel over and accept a non-stop rain of rockets without whining about it. 4. Iran wants to destroy the West. It wants to spread the islamic revolution. Normalizing relations with Iran is not going to happen until we all turn *completely* suicidal. I can't decide if your naïveté is endearing or misguided. The USA and Israel are not evil incarnate.

Even Windows has included pathping.exe in every version since Windows NT (yes, probably excluding 9x and ME, pedants).

No offense, but 10 years ago, everything you wrote was being said about instant messaging, and before that, about email.

So while I actually agree that Facebook is pretty grating and annoying, the arguments above are just the new "Get off my lawn".

Because "violent fundamentalist Muslims" are the mainstream of Islam, whereas "plenty of Christian literalists and extremists" are a minority, that's why !
The political correctness, ignorant mindset, and multiculturalist "everyone's equal" claptrap are just *annoying*. Religions are not "equal". This argument, this article, this discussion, are about Islam. Your loathing of Christianity is your right, but frankly it's beside the point.
Sheesh, atheism is really turning into an intolerant religion.
