As seems usual, we'll have to agree to disagree about religion, and your assumptions are wrong. I'm literally none of the things (or people) you (rather bizarrely, honestly) accuse me of being.
...

I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not. We live in a country where a president said that a Hebrew god told him to launch a crusade against Muslim regimes and almost half the populace...

I know. That was really more towards raspberry's idea that reading the Qu'ran would somehow invalidate the Qu'ran. It wouldn't. You say you haven't read it personally, but I can assure you that it...

Entirely possible.



I actually agree.

I don't think she's doubting the authenticity of the video, but rather the idea that it's representative of anything more than that particular current of Islamic belief.

I always recommend that people avoid tattoos for anything short of religious reasons. Definitely no boyfriend/girlfriend or pop culture work.

It does hurt, but the endorphin high is wonderful....

Seems like typical Abrahamic fundamentalism, to me. Put the guy in a suit, give him a floppy Bible and replace "Muslim," "mujahadin" and "Christians" with "Christian," "crusaders" and "Muslims,"...

He first claimed it about a year ago, with a predicted roadmap and timetable of how Trump would fall apart and lose. As things appeared to spin further and further away from his vision, he ultimately...

Nate Silver (the guy behind FiveThirtyEight) also predicted Trump had but a 2% chance of winning the nomination...

Polls seem oddly inconsistent; the "big media" polls tend to show Trump falling behind Clinton, but everyone else shows them relatively close, within a given margin of error. Given the balanced and...

This entire topic is odd. "Wise-sounding but meaningless" seems very specific, but how does one judge something as meaningless whilst simultaneously thinking it "sounds wise?" I would think the...

All according to plan.

No, I don't mean Trump's a Democrat operative. But in certain quarters, the Republican establishment are seen as, essentially, sell-outs who would only prolong the decline...

I would welcome Polish immigrants.

This might not be a far-fetched idea if Trump wins the presidency. He's said he prefers European immigrants, and that our immigration policies should prefer them.

Sure. Parents or would-be parents should be responsible. No argument there.

I never claimed to have children, either...

Birth defects have nothing to do with it. I still see nothing to suggest that the natural shape of a child's skull, if that child is of mixed origin, conflicts with the natural shape of a woman's...

I never claimed to be. Much like I never claimed anything regarding anti-miscegenation laws.

Oops on your part. Keep it together.

Ok. I wasn't aware this was a thing, honestly.

Not any more than she'd have with the odd stocky Asian child, no.

I'm not arguing against the deleterious effects you're speaking of.

I doubt that a thousand year-old book would be of much use.

Ok. I don't believe that addresses the idea that women have difficulty birthing a child of mixed origin due to the natural form of either skull or vagina, though, which is what started our exchange.

You must have provided the wrong link. The differing skull shapes of population groups are not malformations, and are not addressed in the study you referenced.

You want a study showing that there aren't problems attendant to birthing a child of mixed origin due to cranial shape?

:laughing:

Do you have a single study suggesting that there are?

So that's a no...

You're losing your grip, Melancon.

I can't help but think that varying skull morphology of that type probably isn't a huge factor when birthing a child, due simply to the relative size involved. I would tend to think that the varying...
