Sounds like the people from "Return to the Planet of the Apes" with their Omega bomb...

Bah, it wasn't even meant as an insult.. Just a play on words..
At least you could have asked me to edit it myself, Primo.
What credibility can I build up when you edit me out of the blue..

All the other fmods can't compete with me!

"If I truly wanted to keep going I would compare Hitler's nationalizing industry 'for the peoples good' with Obama's nationalization progrom."

It was a popular thing at that time, and neither invented nor practised alone by Hitler..

"Under his premise the ethics of child rape might be allowed to flourish as an good ethic, but I cannot see a moden society (Islam not withstanding) proving this to be true. I believe that another fundemental comes into play."

Islam does not promote child rape. It doesn't even promote child marriages. You'll probably going to retort that Muhammad married a 7 year old, but that's a false arguement. You see Islam is not a unified religion, pretty much like "christianity" covers the catholic church, the orthodox church, the eastern christianities, the forms of christianity in the Caucasus, the protestant denominations and their offspring (like mormons). Among these, there are a lot of differences. Amish famously consider electricity to be harmful to the soul and find a line in the bible to support that! Or even better, the cult of the Children of God who promoted flirty fishing, had child mariages and *GASP* indulged in large orgies that involved children!
Islam is as diverse. When we return to Islam then, you'll find that child marriages are accepted by a small minority and loathed by a large majority. Child rape however is loathed by all.
It's true however that there are some denominations of Islam that score poorly when we compare it to the declaration of human rights (like those crooks of the Taliban). But these are, after all, a small but ferocious group. On the other hand, we can also see a group of leaders that (ab)use Islam or the Qu'ran to jusify certain actions or even scandals. In a land where hierachy is regarded highly and a large part of the population is godfearing and nearly illiterate or lowly educated, it's a handy tool. In this they are no pioneers either; The catholic church has done the same thing for many centuries now, with it's pinnacle in the 19th century, when it told the impoverished people not to act to improve their situation. Even to this day, we see the scandals of abusive clergy pile up. They were held silent by the same moral intimidation.

It's the same crap all over in a different place.. Don't criticize your neighbour's garden when your hedges are equally unkept..

It's sad to see your opinion of Islam to be so narrow and uninformed. And I see it as a sample of the American people's idea of Islam. It's painfully ignorant.. If your country wants to see the end of the conflict with Islamic people and want to pacify the Middle East, that'll have to change. Understanding leads ultimatly to acceptation..

Alinsky's views were unknown to me before this thread. But if they are all as you put them down here, they seem quite simplistic to me..

Ricky Martin, apparently..

"The reason Walking_Corpse is ignored is for constant personal attacks trying to upset me by calling me fat and other things."

So saying: "Flint you are other things" offends you then?

Indeed..

Then what are planet 9, 10 and 11?

I find the nemesis theory more intriguing though..

"I was talking about the Dutch Republic. That said, you are still a Plutocracy. Your commercial elite still dominate politics."

The dutch republic was indeed without any participation of Belgium. In fact that's what created our current situation (the Belgian-Dutch border was set that time).
That said, Belgium can hardly be called a plutocracy. There are hardly any large industrials in our politics, or even behind the scenes. Otherwise we wouldn't have such notoriously high taxes on economic activities

And Berylium is Berilio.. So it only makes the claim of aluminium being the right word better..

I'm willing to join that fam!

The man who isolated it (that danish chap) named it aluminium!
