Meds
Last med I took was OTC dayquil/nyquil for a cold I had two months ago. Last med I was prescribed was an anti-inflammatory for my knee, which I ignored and let it heal on its own. I do have seasonal allergies, and when they become unbearable I'll take a clariten or whatever the generic off brand is. That's pretty rare though.

This thread, obviously.

US Senator reaming gov't for 7 hours
I'd pay a lot of money to be able to witness that, while sipping on a jumbo slurpee.

Actually they're fighting against censorship. Fighting against censorship by basically censoring their targets.

Need Help with Javascript in HTML5
I ended up using this code. var myVideo = document.createElement('video'); myVideo.id='vid1'; var source = document.createElement('source'); source.type = 'video/mp4'; source.src = 'someRandomVideo.mp4'; myVideo.appendChild(source); source = document.createElement('source'); source.type = 'video/ogg'; source.src = 'sameRandomVideo.ogg'; myVideo.appendChild(source);

The Rollback Cover-up
This is absolute trash. Whatever happened to the public excommunications? Here's a list of 100 accounts that cheated, each with more than 100 million experience and 800 hours logged. Look at them, shame them.

10% of the World's Muslims can reasonably be defined
The survey in the OP says nothing about terrorism. Have you read it?

10% of the World's Muslims can reasonably be defined
Few Americans support torture, but lots of Americans support killing Arab civilians? Or no, you used that key word "admit" like everyone supports it deep down... :rolleyes:

10% of the World's Muslims can reasonably be defined
Here is a study conducted among Americans, following the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/pdf/jul04/Torture_Jul04_quaire.pdf The questions were related to Iraqi detainees, suspected to be terrorists. More than 80% of Americans reject torturing a prospective terrorist to get information from them, which is completely different than "attacking Muslim/Arab civilians" This also leads me to believe that the percentage of Americans that support harming Muslim civilians is much less than the percentage of Muslims that support harming American civilians. EDIT: I took me 3 minutes to find that survey. So much for it being "too difficult to find"

10% of the World's Muslims can reasonably be defined
You can't draw conclusions about a study that has not been conducted: however, if properly worded, and with a selected demographic (as in the study that you've provided) I'm sure that I could do considerably better than 10%. And everyone SPECULATING the results of a non-existent survey and ARGUING THE RESULTS OF THAT THEORETICAL SURVEY gets us somewhere how? Right, so tell me, Who conducted the survey?

10% of the World's Muslims can reasonably be defined
So find a freaking study that says "10% of Christians support attacks on civilian Arabs". Because that's the question that was asked, and that's the response. The question was not at all equivalent to "Do you support the US military," or "Do you support the war in the middle east." The question was literally "Do you support attacks on US civilians?" Your mother does not make a good population. If you picked 1000 random names out of the phone book, called them and recorded their response, then determined the appropriate P values, standard errors and confidence intervals, I'd be more inclined to believe what you have to say. Until then, its all baseless attacks on Christianity, which is off topic and hateful.

Any old school users still here?
You should get an admin to lock him out of every other forum, except for forum games. Mwahahahahaha

Your off topic attacks on Christianity/Catholicism make any legitimate argument you may have seem childish and petty. By venting your frustration somewhere else, you allow us all to have a more intelligent discussion. They're not off-topic at all: we take off our shoes and have cavity searches because we're afraid of adherents to one religion, while ignoring the adherents to another religion shooting people and waging a holy war in the Middle East. There's a strong link between religion and terrorism, and you don't get to single out one group in a pathetic attempt to justify your xenophobia. Your claims that other religions have the same link are baseless. Find me a study that says 10% of Christians support attacks on innocent civilians, and then we'll discuss it. Until then, piss off.

In a thread specifically about "10% of the Worlds Muslim are Terrorists", explain how Muslim terrorists and Islam are two completely separate things.

^ Sums up my argument. Then can you please explain your logic? Religion and politics in the Middle East are the same. Check. From the OP definition, Check. Which leads to: Terrorism and religion are two completely different things. Whaaaaa?
