It's a steadily declining influence

Is it? Because it was recently put into a bunch of states.

Not the other way around.

That's interesting. Do you have a source for that?

It might've been in Louisiana.

Gonna have to look it up again.

That would make sense

Not a threat to national security though

Lol

Now who's on the wrong side of the fence?
It not being related to national security doesn't make it any less of a problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_and_evolution_in_public_education_in_the_United_States#Development_by_state
There also seems to be way more states than I initially thought.

To me it does

National security is my primary concern

Shit. Then why not give up all your rights then.

It's easier to secure the nation if no one has any rights.

It's not necessary

And I would argue against the long-term security of an Authoritarian state

I don't understand what religion and national security have to do with eachother, good or bad.

A global caliphate would certainly compromise national security

But the original issue was religion in the United States

No it was a comparison between religion in the US and radical Islam

Soyaman went on to make that comparison to try to reinforce his point, and while I don't agree the two can be compared, I think the original issue still stands that religion in the United States still poses many problems even if they aren't necessarily threats to national security.

I agree with that

I'm no fan of delusion

I conceded the point that it's not a comparison to radical islam.

I know you have, I'm not trying to assign viewpoints to anybody. I'm just going back over what happened and trying to untangle the topics here, since they were getting a bit muddied together.

Religion poisons everything

I agree 100%

Unfortunately religion seems to be symptomatic of a deeper flaw that is faith

i think religion is a symptom of humans natural tribal desire for heirarchy combined with the best explanation of the universe a bunch of stone age people could create, thats been perpetuated throughout history by the mutually beneficial relationship between religion and state

I guess I mean mostly in its current embodiment

there literally wasn't anything close to a better explanation available, there are probably more atheists alive now than in the rest of human history

Once the statist and scientific aspects have been replaced

its an empty hull of blind faith and god of the gaps arguments

There are still foundations of wishful thinking, i.e. afterlife

creationist arguments after you boil off the long dead bullshit you're just left with "look how pretty the sunrise is" etc and misuse of the words "chance" and "theory"

Masturbating to their own awe

i had an interesting chat with an ex-atheist catholic traditionalist on poldare and basically all his arguments were based on a fundamental denial of objective truth in favor of his feels

much along the same ideological lines of early fascism, unironic feels before reals

A tenuous comparison imo, but devaluing logic and reason is contrary to any productive system of thought

his justification was decidedly vague shit like "experiences i couldnt explain" etc

Typical

God loves those gaps

There's a certain irony behind Trump being ridiculed for being so egotistical when so many Dems are willing to throw their own party under the bus for a few extra minutes of fame

Hillary's entire book (and refusal to *go away and let the Dems regroup*), Donna's "it wasn't *my* fault!" expose` and so on and so on

Let them the sooner they go away the better

they won't.

Hillary will carry on doing her thing whilst the rest of the party will maneuver to position themselves behind the next frontrunner

In which case Donna's article makes sense if she's trying to get back in the good graces of the Berniebros

Because he'd get some serious traction if he showed up for the 2020 primaries

If they have sense they sould run Tulsi Gabbard

If she stfu about $15 per hour, she could even win

That is for the general election

You got to throw people a bone in the primary

that is a fair accessment

Need to see what happens next year first. Kid Rock for Senate!

Tulsi's religion might be an issue for some but she probs wouldn't get those votes anyway

Destiny told me that assuming someone is joking about racism is racist in of itself

racist

Oh shit

Did you just assume my humour?

I thought saying I wasn't racist is racist

fuck off racist

I think mentioning race at all is racist

If you're white

goddamn racists everywhere

But also being colorblind is racist

what about white with 1% turkish

Turks can't be racist

I watched Valley of the Wolves

he is white

he is just not toothpaste white

Asian

Uzbecks are related to many ethicities

still....

he is not a "PoC"

fuck that

she is probably calling him PoC just because he is muslim

The Uzbeks are a Turkic ethnic group;

persian?

dude, just analize his skin color

this dude is not black

not brown

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_peoples

and is more to white than to yellow

I don't give a shit about his skin color tbh

neither do i

he is just a piece of shit

yup

that is all i see reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hmmm.

really makes you think

the funny part is.... you can do a quick google search to see how muslims behave

quite a few people talking about shitty stuff that happened in saudi arabia

yet

they keep pushing this shitty ideology

I mean. If we’re gonna look at this logically, we have to think back to how traditionalist the Uzbek’s culture was.

Muslims in the Western world that have adapted to Western society well aren’t the problem.

The fundamentalist, the extremists, those are the ones we have to keep a closer eye on.

Honestly if there was a system where we can check to see how people from traditionalist countries handle being in such a progressive(by comparison) country are coping.

The Left doesn’t think that far deep past “oh u can’t critique poc bc bigotry”, which is hurting our country. Obviously.

ask them to draw Muhammad when they enter the country

Yes at his own home

Because of the circumstances of his assault I am suspecting political violence

Or maybe ha was a lunatic. Either way this is highly suspicious

Old Soviet joke:

Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism are sitting around talking. Socialism says he needs to do an errand and goes off. Three hours later he returns carrying a small package.

“What took you do long?” asks Capitalism.

“I had to buy some sausage, and there was a long line,” Socialism explains.

“What’s a line?” asks Capitalism?

And Communism inquires, ‘What’s sausage?"

I was curious so I did a bit of research into the allegations that the CIA pumped drugs into LA, found out it's basically bullshit. First off, that's not even what the original article series claimed, second three outlets responded questioning the validity of the claims it did make: The New York Times; The Los Angeles Times; The Washington Post. Here is an article written by the Executive Editor of the outlet that originally released the series, taking responsibility for poor practices which allowed the article to contain misleading characterizations https://web.archive.org/web/19971119070955/http://www.sjmercury.com/drugs/column051197.htm

The argument that the CIA funneled cocaine into Los Angeles via the Contras in the 1980s, so as to cripple the black community, is commonly used to characterize he United States government as being explicitly hostile and oppressive towards black americans.
