Re: Alsace-Lorraine decisions = religious bonbons?
had there been no monopoly on what to belive, and what is true by the church it is probable to belive that mars would be a turist destination now. why because alot of sience facts have been lost during the raighn of the church that sent the world in to the dark ages for abbout 700 or more years.
a few facts hat where lost
- the erth is round an the diameter of erth (calculated by the greeeks way before modern sience) this belif was outloved by the church.
- surgery the romans knew how to operate there are evan records that show they did head surgery. the churc said that faith would heal you and sicness is your oun fault for sinning
- hygiene the romans knew clean is good filthy is bad for you, during the monopoly of the church it was belived that a good layr of dirt will keep sicness away
and many more things where lost

Re: Discourage religion, encourage critical thinking
I said "can".
Allow me to rephrase: I hope you're sensible enough to agree that critical thinking can produce conflicting answers.
If you agree, I'd like you to explain why you think conflicting answers can't produce conflict.
weeding out religion would probably reduce some confilct but not all of it neither would critical thinking, as long as there are humans there will be ware be it for religion greed, pride, nationalety, race ..... to end conflict you would haveto weed out all of that and i dont think that is going to happen anytime soon. and even if you would weed all that out i think the human race would find something else to fight about one human is smart a mass of them is a herd of sheep

Re: Solutions for Somali Pirates
Well dont worry now that you have republicans in office the tax cuts for the rich will enable them to "trickle down" on to the poor.

Re: A brief off topic greeting to Frako
Hows Slovenija? Have you all managed to fully recover from the "Great Recession"?
Na our problems are you can vote for any party you want its just that theyr all crooks.
Some stuff that we have problems with.
Or ex prime minister took a bribe form patria so their tanks get picked. He got a whole 2 years in prison for it currently all his apeals have been denied he has the constitutional court and the european human rights court left to apeal to. There is also an abundanceevidence of him selling our weapons to croatioans douring their war with serbia and making tones of profits by it and weakining our defense by it but the crimes have passed their statues of limitations. Oh and every day for the past 100 so days as he was inprisoned his "sheep" keep protesting to let him out.
We built a coal powered power plant for 1,4 billion generating 600W of power while a new thermonuclear plant with 2 reactors producing 2 Gigawats of power would have cost us 1,8 billion, I think at least a billion was stolen.
After about 20 big fish including the ex prime minister being caught in drty dealings the president of the anticoruption commission (the guys that caught them) resigned reasons political pressure.
Another ex prime minister nominated herself and voted to send herself to the eu not really sure what her job would be but she would have gotten payed 20 000 EUR a month. She fought tooth and nail that what she did was perfectly legal and had no conflict of interest only to embarrass herself and our country in front of the European commity, she was labeled the worst candidate to apply.
Thats just some stuff from the top of my head on how my country is doing LOL
But its still funny to watch American politics the best reality show ever.
