Yep, nuclear-armed, radical christian states are much better.



If the US is so bad and Islamic countries are so great why haven't

Show me where I said anything remotely like that. Just one post.

You know, I come from the country where your line of argument was
invented. We had two halves of our country - and the slightest
criticism in the Western half could easily provoke certain people to
suggest moving to the Eastern half in the way you did. I hate to say
it, but those certain people were the really dumb ones.

OK, I better explain then, there's a difference between developing a system
of argument and getting five (excellent) beers into you and then
telling your neighbor he has to start wearing lederhosen.


The Jefferson Airplane will back me up on this one.

Wow, some of you guys really need to learn how to argue.

Scroll down and look at the links that Wiki has for some other
fallacious arguments. It's considerably easier to assert a position when
you have at least a few of these at your fingertips. When you spot
someone uing one you can call him names!

Great fun,


Asshole.
