When does crossing a border, where you can get killed or sent back, make sense? or is rational?
It obviously makes sense to 400,000 per year. Very few die crossing the border. It makes sense for the reasons I cited. The problem is that they are not embracing being an American. This will lead to a cultural divide that will eventually lead to division, in my opinion.
What does evolution and catholics have to do with any of this?
The topic is "reasoning". Let's see... between evolution and creationism, which would you say is more associated with testimony and which is more associated with reason?
Christians have reacted violently, jst not in our recent history. Learn about the KKK? Response to a precieved attack on their religion.
And didn't fellow Christians condemn the KKK and act to suppress it? Yes they did. I don't see Muslims organizing to do the same against their radicals.
How are these proof's of the pope's reasoning about Islam? If anything, it says something about man in general under the influence of religion.
The point being debated was not strictly about Islam, but about comparing Catholics with Muslims with regard to being more reason-able.
...is it liberal to wonder what Pyongyang plans on doing?
No. It's the response, that might differ.
The big worry of the year is Iran, not Korea (until their blackmail deal's warranty expires). I am afraid that Iran already has a deal with Russia and/or China to be an ally if the USA etc threatens an attack. ArmadilloDad senses weakness in the West to fight, so I think he is playing "appeasement acceptable" pawn moves to gain strength and support in Islam.
Oh, notice the total lack of flaming? Apparently we are capable of being rational at times.
Thank you. And, ditto for keeping the post not too long.
