Please show me some peer reviewed studies that answers that question.

I put a question on the table. You need to answer, not ask a question.

Right.

It has already started he

http://news.yahoo.com/judge-dismisse...204051912.html



We have a long history in this country of the self-described religious
attacking/isolating/discriminating against those whose beliefs differ
from theirs, a history that began long before anyone noticed we have
Muslims here.

Such religious bigotry is as American as apple pie.

What is the difference between those who have a religious axe to grind
and those with a political axe to grind.

Exactly! When the Ayatollah Santorum has his way, we'll be a theocracy
just like that.

Do you want to be a Catholic theocracy or a Muslim theocracy?


What's the difference?

The problem is that you lefties are willing to lay down and be walked
all over by the Muslims but, when it is any form of Christianity you
freak out.




Really? I don't recall saying or implying that I am "willing to lay down
and be walked all over by Muslims." You should cut back on those magic
'shrooms.

Don't start projecting your recreational activities onto me or others.

As a student of history (actual history, not the "conservative" view of
history), I don't see the difference between being slaughtered by
christian zealots or by muslim zealots, the two religious groups under
discussion in this thread. Both religions have a long and bloody history
of slaughter in the name of the faith.

Actions speak louder than words Harry. Your actions and your fellow
lefty's action's belie your words.

I also don't "freak out" about christianity. To me, it's just another
superstition-based collection of beliefs. My objections arise when its
practitioners attempt to force their religious beliefs onto my secular
society. I'm having many good laughs these days watching the "christian"
political zealots fall on their swords over womens' reproductive health
issues.

We don't have a secular society. Never have and never will.

Women's reproductive health? This is a joke and most people can see
right through the "issue." The poor student Ms. Fluke is a 30 year old
woman who is going to Georgetown Law on a "public interest"
(http://www.law.georgetown.edu/pils/) scholarship. Her whole "beef" is
that someone else isn't paying for her birth control pills. Her argument
falls apart when it comes down to the low cost of condoms.

When a 30 year old woman stands up and says I want someone else to pay
for my birth control pills while I attend law school on a scholarship,
she doesn't garner sympathy from the majority of the country.

So... because she doesn't need birth control pills for reproductive
health means that no other woman needs it for that purpose as well?
Typical.


You are an idiot. I'll repeat it just to make sure it sinks in, you are
an idiot.

This has nothing to do with "reproductive health" whatever that means.
If birth control pills are not covered then they are not covered. If Ms.
Fluke wants birth control pills then she is free to purchase them
herself. No one is preventing her from purchasing birth control pills.

The question on the table is why can't Ms. Fluke pay for her own birth
control pills?

Birth control pills are not the only method of contraception if Ms.
Fluke doesn't want to get pregnant while engaging in her sexual
adventures.


The following sponsors: Sleep Train, ProFlowers, Quicken Loans, Sleep
Number, Legal Zoom, Citrix Systems Inc., the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers,
and more, are dumping Limbaugh and his big, greasy, racist,
misogynist, right-wingnut, mouth.

Wonder why?


I don't care why they are "dumping" him.

There's no answer to that question that we have yet, but just because we

So, big surprise! Articles in English don't change gender! Surprise.

I suppose you also think THE Muslims mentioned in the article are the
only ones that have ever acted as fundamentalist thugs.


It takes a while to help you understand. I used the word 'the' in my comment, and wasn't referring
to Muslims. You've since deleted it along with the pertinent parts of the grammar lesson I so
helpfully provided.

So, I guess you should be treated the same as Harry...with the respect you deserve.

Goodbye.

Okay, but then YOU have to answer the same question. My answer is, we
have no solid proof of just what created the universe. Your turn.

You used the word "the." Apparently, you tried to give it some special
meaning that is appropriate for you and not others, so when I used the
word *exactly* the way you did, your response was "Goodbye."

Fine, "Say goodnight Gracie."
