They prefer to focus on the countries which are wracked by civil war, or regular war, or which have varying levels of despotism in the government. Because then it's easy to ignore the various underlying causes and reasons for those statuses--especially in the cases where Western countries might well be complicit in causing them, like in the Gaza. Nope, nosiree, it's all because they're the wrong religion!

That, and any comparison of suicide rates shows it's much more a Eurasian problem than having anything to do with Islam. The data is generally scarce on suicide in the Levant, but I suspect there'd be some level of awareness if it were a problem in "Muslim nations" the way it is in Greenland.

That's because chlorine can be made into a cleaning agent and a toxic gas, and those things are dangerous! It's just like how they inject aluminum, the same thing SODA POP CANS are made out of, into you in the form of vaccinations! No, I never did take chemistry beyond a high school level, why do you ask?

So a few guys got in an argument on my facebook over something I shared about lack of actual diversity in Hollywood movies and it ends with the one (white guy) arguing that affirmative action is racist and than calling my (black) friend a monkey. Maybe I'll post some stuff from it if I can stomach reading it again.

oh god this dude's next status was even weirderquote:When ever I see an article wherein a gay is sueing some company for not dancing to their demands, I contact that merchant and tell them do not refuse them service, but make sure you paste on top of each product they buy, my Lord's sounding website wherein on the about us page are images of the unclean bacterial spirits that science has now proved causes all unnatural acts by making neurotoxins/transmitters in the gut of man to ask people to do certain things that helps fed them, such as ask men to have sex so as the bacteria can fed on their human essence, and that is sick and sad to the tenth power!

I posted a link to this New Yorker article on Facebook, and a libertarian dude I know posted this comment:Libertarian Jerkoff posted:Serious question. If you are a gay-shop owner and the westboro baptist church wanted to commission you for a catering order for their anti-gay rally should you be able to turn them down? I know that he's mostly just trying to bait me into saying yes, so that he can call me a statist hypocrite or some such bullshit, but I really want to respond. Any advice as to how I can do so without falling into his carefully set logic trap?

If christians feel persecuted now, just imagine how it will be when they legalize discrimination based upon religious beliefs and everybody is now allowed to tell them to gently caress off out of their business if they so much as say "bless you" when someone sneezes. If I were in Arizona and this passes I'd have a sign on my shop welcoming gays, atheists, muslims, buddhists, etc yet no christians allowed since my personal religion is against the spread of hatred and bigotry. Any moron that defends this will usually change their tune when you remind them that it will also allow other religions to discriminate against them.

Every time I've heard it brought up with these people I hear them say they are fine with other religions discriminating against them  . Which is because they know Christianity is the largest religion and therefore any discrimination against them will be rare to non-existent.

Friendly reminder that sexuality is not a protected class in the US. Not federally, and not in Arizona (although it is protected in a good number of other states).Knight posted:"Is X a race, gender, sexual orientation or marital status? No? Then it's legal for a business to refuse that group service."

The thing where "Libertarian" Republicans like Rand Paul and truther  27 year olds are cool with "private" business discrimination never made sense to me - unless you're paying a private security force like Blackwater to rough up customers you don't like, small businesses tend to rely on the police to kick out anyone they ban from their store, just like in Jim Crow days. Allowing a bakery to refuse service to gay or Black or female or Jewish customers introduces "the state" into the equation by creating a situation where government employees are required to enforce blatant discrimination and bigotry.
