"iautomate doesn't want to discuss, he wants to rant."
Ron, please keep up with the thread, my good man. I'm not ranting, at last as I asked three simple questions that you still refuse to answer. So, I guess I can say you are the one who doesn't want to discuss, you just want to rant.

Do you guys feel like you're nice people for believing (or making yourselves believe) that all and everything is equal?
All men are created equal, that I believe. They may start as equal biologically, but eventually the natural balance of man comes into play. Plus whatever environment they are brought up in.
Take any dead-on Radical muslim extremist who would just as soon kill you because you don't believe in Islam - now, go back to the day of his birth, steal him and send him to Tibet to be brought up by the monks as a Buddhist. You think today he'd want to kill you because you're not a Buddhist?
Please, somebody answer that hypothetical question so I know you're actually reading what I'm writing, otherwise there can be no discussion, which some of you think I'm trying to avoid. I'm trying to start one, but I can't without your opinions. And I STILL can't believe nobody has answered my original three. Can you at least tell me why you don't want to?

It sounds like Ron took a course on polling.  Wording of a question can lead to getting the response one wants. nope. it's just logic. (i'm part vulcan according to grumpers)

No, Ron, point of fact, you did not answer my questions. You injected your own answers.
FROM THE CHOICES THERE, what would your answers be?
Your parlor tricks aren't helping your image around here, either. Just the other day my wife's niece asked me, if 18 students boarded a bus and then 8 came out, how many would be left? I said 10. She said, "WRONG! Because you don't know how many kids were already ON the bus."
She asked a straight question, I gave a straight answer, but, like you, she slipped in a variable not introduced in the original question to try to make me look foolish.

iauto, i AM reading what you are writing but i don't find you terribly credible or insightful so stop flattering yourself. And I STILL can't believe nobody has answered my original three. i did. are you smart enough to find previous pages in this thread? i even quoted your questions when i did so. at any rate, why does this radical muslim extremist rant have to do with muslims in our country? do we not have maniacs from all stripes here?

IA, I am apparently late to the discussion. Can you reiterate your hypotheticals?

LOL - Ron, you must be AMAZING on the dance floor, because you're definitely doing great in here!
These are your answers?
1. your comments related to america so "e. n/a"
2. same response to question 1.
3. i know the bible does. i've heard as much from the christian prostyletizers here regarding the death penalty.
I gave a choice of a, b, c, or d.
Here's what you can do. First, answer the questions with one of the four possible answers given. THEN, give us your opinion on what you believe the TRUE answer to be.

She asked a straight question, I gave a straight answer, but, like you, she slipped in a variable not introduced in the original question to try to make me look foolish. i already told you that i wasn't going to answer non-probabtive or irrelevant questions. just because they are relevant to your quasi-racist rant doesn't make them relevant in reality. your ultimate point is that white christians are great and muslims are bad. we get it. but your arguments are your own misguided and obtuse opinion. please stop flattering yourself and get back to work. Your parlor tricks aren't helping your image around here, either. is this like admiral myette telling darth vader about his sourcerer's ways? second, my image here really isn't going to make or break me. i care about how my image looks to people who matter. i'll leave you to put 2 and 2 together...

Ron, I would never equate you with a bear.
Maybe a lost and confused gentle sheep, but never a nasty bear, lol.

Ron, you must be AMAZING on the dance floor, because you're definitely doing great in here! i don't like to dance. i have to be really drunk to do so. however, i'm not sure what that has to do with doing great in here? I gave a choice of a, b, c, or d. and? if your answers sucked, why must i go with them? are you omnipotent? also, don't tell me what to do. just because that is what happens in your life, don't think that i am going to be your chance to feel like you have any sort of suggestive power. please, stop flattering yourself.

You think today he'd want to kill you because you're not a Buddhist? I'd have to agree that if he was raised in a Buddhist environment in Tibet, he be significantly less likely to seek acts of violence against non-Buddhists. The spirituality of Buddhism just does not lend itself to such thought processes and sentiments. But I would distinguish between radical Islam and Moslems who just do not buy into such thinking.
