    I dont really care about the Koran enough to argue with you about it. Im neither Christian nor a muslim. Relax.


    So why make wide sweeping statements that indicate you seem to think you know and care enough about the Qu'ran?

    And do you think that by spelling Qu'ran in the anglicised version, in large type and bold, a fitting, non inflammatory thing to do? Is it mature?

    I think the mistake is trying to tie the activity (launching rockets) to a religion rather than to fucked up people.

    Well that's my point. It's crisis that causes people to seek answers from god and in doing so what they find is violence. That is true in all ancient texts.

    I think the point isnt whether a muslim can be a good american. Its whether a "good" muslim can. Kinda like catholicism. You can be a good catholic, or a non practising catholic. If you use birthcontrol, or are an adulterer, it means your not exactly a good catholic. But there aren't any "rules" for Catholics that would prevent someone from being a good american.

    Many of the quotes and theological "rules" listed ARE the "ideal" for Islam. Many of which are contradictory to being an American. Thats what that email is trying to say, as I read it.

    So they left their opressed war torn countries and came to America not out of survival, but to be better terrorists?

    Dude how much are you getting paid to spout this hate mongering crap on the internet?

    I also dont care enough about you and your mouth to further engage you in discussion. I didnt make any "wide sweeping statements". Someone else did. I am giving my two cents on what that person said. Quit sweating me, you're really not my type. ;)

    Yeah, I was wondering that too. Then I found the answer.

    Histrionic personality disorder, often abbreviated as HPD, is a type of personality disorder in which the affected individual displays an enduring pattern of attention-seeking and excessively dramatic behaviors beginning in early adulthood and present across a broad range of situations. Individuals with HPD are highly emotional, charming, energetic, manipulative, seductive, impulsive, erratic, and demanding.

    Mental health professionals use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(the DSM) to diagnose mental disorders. The 2000 edition of this manual (the fourth edition text revision, also called the DSM-IV-TR) classifies HPD as a personality disorder. More specifically, HPD is classified as a Cluster B (dramatic, emotional, or erratic) personality disorder. The personality disorders which comprise Cluster B include histrionic, antisocial, borderline, and narcissistic.

    Description
    HPD has a unique position among the personality disorders in that it is the only personality disorder explicitly connected to a patient's physical appearance. Researchers have found that HPD appears primarily in men and women with above-average physical appearances. Some research has suggested that the connection between HPD and physical appearance holds for women rather than for men. Both women and men with HPD express a strong need to be the center of attention. Individuals with HPD exaggerate, throw temper tantrums, and cry if they are not the center of attention. Patients with HPD are naive, gullible, have a low frustration threshold, and strong dependency needs.

    That's not only hilarious, but utterly rediculous. All in the same silkscreened carbonated aluminium can.

    Insulting? So you feel insulted for attacking me in the first place?

    That's a shame. How about: Do onto others as you would have them do to you?

    Try not to forget that notion next time you want to acheive electrical savings of some sort... :)

    This was posted by someone on here that hail hails from the heartland (Kansas City). Is this really what most Christians think?

    Radical Islam has driven away the truth of Jesus Christ and the Bible from these people, and instead replaced it with a satanically inspired fanaticism that has led these people in the wrong direction, both morally and spiritually. That's why they will never find peace, financial prosperity, or food or shelter that is adequate. Satan's ulitmate goal is the destruction of Israel, to prevent the coming of Christ, and he uses these radical Islamists through his guile and influence to do his bidding. And yes, I just said that…and I really believe it and mean it. All you have to do is look at the nations who believe in God and the Bible, and then compare them to the nations who follow these ideals of Islam, and then compare the two to see who God has allowed to prosper, and who he has allowed to suffer via their faith.

    I'm not much of a religious fella but no Christians that I know feel this way. This guy gives mainstream Christians a bad name much like a Pat Robertson does. Kinda pathetic and scary at the same time.

    For a fact, the middle east was quite advanced in culture when Europe was in the dark ages.

    But since then, an argument could be made that the middle east has gone down hill in culture.

    I don't know what that means, but I would consider if historically Islam has reaped little rewards for the middle east.

    I guess that means you buy into the Satan theory, that is your right. So we have two votes for this theory and numerous votes against. Interesting so far.

    The excessive heat, and all that greedy oil laying under their feet. It plagues them.

    I think their environment has become more harsh (barren) throughout
    time over there, as well, and their populations have increased in the meantime.

    I dare say the equation over there could very well be experienced more internationally than present if our envinonmental conditions continue to worsen. But then I'd have to factor that the US gov't is sprinkling weapons over mother earth like candy...

    Ever noticed what has happened to all the family value type TV shows that were the norm in the 50's in the just the past 50 years? Look at American culture in the 50's - even up to 20 years ago - quite beautiful and innocent really. Try to wonder what happened to factor in so quickly the condition we are in now in the United States.

    Presidency? Technology? drugged out hippie parents bringing up lousy kids?

    All of the above? The contrast is absolutely terrifying in comparison...never ceases to amaze me what has gone so terribly wrong in such a short period of time.

    Food for thought I guess...
