quote: ORIGINAL: eyesopened I guess I don't understand the word "defeated" but there appears to be people who honestly believe that religion itself is an enemy. I don't know if I'm opposed to religion itself, I suppose it would depend on how the word is defined. quote: ORIGINAL: eyesopened My God isn't the property of any specific religion nor is my God in opposition to science. However, I am opposed to people claiming ownership of a deity. If there is a god, he/she/it/they isn't yours.

You claim 20-50 dead russians without any validation for the numbers and claim it was a scientific endeavor. You claim 20 million dead chinese with no validation for the numbers except your ex cathedra mouth and claim it was a scientific endeavor. Shit floats but not that shit. You need to put down that crackpipe, thompson. Firm

I always question the source, and how something is presented. And I will usually mention it, giving specifics about how their conclusions can be biased, if I think it is. I don't, however, throw out the "facts" they present. I may point out if the facts are collected in such a manner as support their bias, without considering countervailing facts and information. Or if they use selective "facts" to build an argument that doesn't consider missing pertinent facts. I'm still waiting for BS to even tell me how any of the sources misrepresent the facts, or even summarize what "the facts" are that she disputes. And she's not going to, because she doesn't want to face the embarrassment of finding out that maybe she has staked out an unsupportable position. I gave her links to millions of sources which discuss "the facts" of my argument. And she ignores them. Firm Are you saying that you have never dismissed, out of hand, someones source because of your percieved bias in that source?

I don't really see the point of quoting other sources for the most part full stop, I'm sure each of us could find a source to support anything we could possibly want to say. Are we giving our views or those views of the authors we read? Comes down to how convincing your argument is at the end of the day and given the short time most people spend here it has to be concise if nothing else.

quote: ORIGINAL: luckydawg No troll, he is not saying anything of the sort. reading comprehension is indeed way beyond your capacity. Why do you have to make up dumb shit questions to have anythng to say? But what relevance would him sometimes weasling(if even true) out have to do with this specific case? It would appear that your knowledge of snark exceeds your knowledge of discussion. Ky consistantly, like you, will challange the source of other people's arguements but he, like you, does not feel compelled to be constrained by the same guidline.

Thus your comments about crack pipes hardly rise to the level of validation of your assertions.

Thus your comments about crack pipes hardly rise to the level of validation of your assertions. You mean the numbers of deaths for the wars, by Hitler, and Stalin? Common facts. If you doubt them, they are easily discernible through a Google search. As eyesopened said before, I'm not your research assistant. If you aren't aware of the numbers, then it's a matter of you cleaning up your ignorance, not me "proving" a damn thing. Most of the numbers I gave were on the conservative side of modern estimates, or gave the range that is often accepted. Go fish, thompson. Quit trolling around here. Firm

Yet another assertion, care to back these up with anything......anything at all? quote: ORIGINAL: NorthernGent religion is an essential component in human existence You're wrong. Considering that about half my state gets by just fine without it, you may want to look up the definition of essential.
