It's kind of funny being an observer and just watching how little some people know about the world. ^^
Cogito Ergo Sum. it's a nice phrase. ^^
I agree with Quantum Overlord, please don't make false statements if you claim to be rational. At least thoroughly research your claims and back them up with evidence. Notions like "there are no Buddhists or Hindu terrorist are laughable and incredibly foolish". If you try to say would like to use holy books as evidence please provide a direct quote with a reference in order for you too be taken seriously. If you're a rationalist please don't use pathetic emotional arguments like "that's cruel". Rationalist should realise morals are a product of a tinkerbell effect and realists should realise that in reality any motion of morality is merely man made. Please double check your evidence and try to show some class when commenting. I've kind of become bored with how many uniformed people are, also I do not believe rational minded people such would use phrases such as " If you can't see this, you have no place in the West". When discussing things please remain rational. It is good practice to study all of the evidence first and not to make wild claims. Even theories such as the Higgs Field is backed up by very strong Mathematics. Trolls will probably not listen to my words of advice but as now I have explained how things should be discussed there should be no reason for any more misguided biased or prejudice comments. If you are going to say things like "The Quaran say's it's acceptable to beat women" (despite you are obviously misguided and I have little patience to explain things to kids who just want to start an argument ) please back yourself up with a direct quote and then reference it and also consider the historical and cultural context. Ideally you should have some creditable in that area before you make a comment but as most don't and this is more of a place where students gather little can be done. If people on here had credentials to back up their claims we wouldn't have so many idiotic fools attempting to stir up hatred and mischief. If these rules are follow there should be no problems or trolls. Those who don't follow the rules should merely be ignored and branded as mischief makers.
I hope this sorts things out as honestly it does get irritating listening to people come up with the same misinformed nonsense. We should just ignore them and leave them in their uneducated slum as those who want to learn will make an effort and those whom know what their talking about would be unbiased and would provide some back up for their claims. ^^
