ISIS

deletedalmost 10 years

I would like to have a thought provoking and civil conversation about ISIS.....what you think will stop them, what will make it worse. Please make this a civil and appropriate discussion. i am looking for a good conversation not a flame war.

Pure atheism always comes across as a little hypocritical to me, yes. There are quite a few arguments against that train of though though, so meh.

As an agnostic, atheism is actually the belief that makes the least sense.

It's 2015 CE so if you're not an atheist by now you're basically a blight on Western Civilization.


I'm an agnostic atheist, can I live?


How can one be both atheist and agnostic?


Idk it's the only name I found for "agnostic person who leans atheist and will default to atheist views unless presented with an alternative that isn't instantly falsifiable".

My question is still a valid one: are there people who actually think nuking the ME is the solution (besides Smore's grandpa)?


Sadly, back when I lived in Kentucky (a state in the middle of no where) people actually said this kind of stuff.

If you nuked the Middle East the radiation would go into neighboring countries causing problems there as well

Nuking the Middle East would be unethical on account of the fact that we'd be losing all that oil.

I want us to nuke the middle east tbh


If the middle east was nuked, it would solve a few problems and create a bunch more in the process


Fairly fricking wise political commentary here, folks.

Tbh, you're right guys. I'm being an @ss. *sigh*

I was trying to be sarcastic and mimic what my conservative grandpa likes to tell me, but it backfired and you thought I was being serious.

In all honesty I have no idea how to handle the crisis in the middle east. Obviously, though, the answer isn't to kill everyone there. :/ Sorry if I mislead.

That however Smorlicious is an arbitrarily inhumane and inconsiderate view. You basically judge the entire middle east because of terrorists, and the view that everyone living there are worthless sacks of meat makes me sick to my stomach

Yeah, I too believe we should end the lives of millions because of the inevitable existence of extremists. That's definitely the correct way to fight terrorism.
