By 2030 it is expected to overtake Indonesia as the largest Muslim country in the world (About 97% of the population) The majority are Sunni, with an estimated 5–20% Shi'a.
Between the dominant strain and the 5-20% of Shi'a throw-backs to the 4rth century,of the rest.... The Ahmadis (sect considered non-Muslim by virtue of a 1974 constitutional amendment, how fucking retarded and out-of-synch with 21st century sensibilities with a view to societal evolution is that,hello??),Quraniyoon..etc etc, and the rest of the religions or disciplines to be found on the planet.
It's an ancient seat of human society, rich on culture and heritage, unfortunately, Muslim religion dictates much of influence on government policies as well. Oh. They have the fucking atomic bomb, too. That's worrisome...nah, fuck it, they're not suicidal.
I have a silly question for y'all. How many 14-year-old kids do you know or have heard of in Canada ,the United States or Denmark who can fashion replacement parts for an AK-47 in a hut with a dirt floor and a home-made smelt?
The alternatives to not-so-'precise or humane air strikes involve equally as 'problematic and inhumane aspects. I can think of only one scenario where everybody wins.
UN-TEACH SHIT-THINK TO EACH NEW GENERATION. A similar fix would make North Korea a country full of humans being instead of robot putty husks, in just outside of 2 generations.


This is why Obama destabilizing the country by ramping up Drone attacks and soldiers in Afghanistan is stupid. We don't own the world, but we act like we do.

In Las Vegas, casinos used to host atom bomb parties for patrons to watch from the Strip.

Also, I wonder if the guy smoking the cigar knows how dangerous smoking is.

@NetRunner

Actually, it is completely subjective to say "the suffering caused by denying marriage to gay people outweighs the discomfort you feel when you see them get married". You simply can not compare two different sets of feeling from 2 different frames of reference. Who are you to say that someones suffering isn't at great as someone else's, you have the burden of proof, and it is completely subjective. It is important to understand what I mean by subjective. It might be objective that someone is feeling a feeling; that a person is feeling something and that experience is real. But as to the depth of the feeling, it is immeasurable because it is contained entierly in the mind of the feeler. It pertains only to the individual.

You are making a HUGE claim next, that ALL actions need to be justified in the greater scope of humanity. Which also have the flaw scope being very near sided. The advancement of technology that developed the atom bomb would be a moral hazard to all scientists that helps science make it, or technologies that help make technologies that made it, or people that helped people make those technologies that made those technologies that made those technologies. In other words, the morality of consequence is failing to take in relevant information because it can't possibly obtain relevant information about long sweeping events.

Me eating cheetos and having a soda would also not be justifiable under this moral situation. How can I know the long term ramifications of such an event? Every seemingly mundane events in life can have profound effects. It is an intractable position. Even if consequentialism were a valid moral dogma, it fails to be readily applied in beings that are mortal and can only factor in very very limited scopes.

Consequentialism would be a good description of it I guess, though. As such, I find the terms all redundant. You don't need 5 terms to talk about 1 basic idea. Progressive doesn't tell us anything more than liberal or even more rootly, consequentialism.

In that, I have considered consequentialism in my recent inquiring. I have subsequently rejected it on it being based in "things that feel good" is very poor justification. I would have to be convinced that happiness is the one, most important aspect of reality.

Thanks for the lengthy replies .

Evil is just an opinion of an event. A lot of us agree on common elements of what makes something evil, but evil is a concept. It's not a tangible 'thing'. We see a murder, we say that's evil. It's really, in a way an opinion... on top of that, perhaps the person murdered would have eventualy had a child who would have went on to become a President who launches all the atomic bombs and wipes out the planet.

I guess then the act of murder was good in the long run...

I always wondered why to my mother that we couldn't just throw all the nuclear waste into a volcano like Kīlauea?? Could we? Have they!?
I think this is a good explanation. FROM INTERNET

Dumping all our nuclear waste in a volcano does seem like a neat solution for destroying the roughly 29,000 tons of spent uranium fuel rods stockpiled around the world. But there’s a critical standard that a volcano would have to meet to properly dispose of the stuff, explains Charlotte Rowe, a volcano geophysicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. And that standard is heat. The lava would have to not only melt the fuel rods but also strip the uranium of its radioactivity. “Unfortunately,” Rowe says, “volcanoes just aren’t very hot.”

Lava in the hottest volcanoes tops out at around 2,400˚F. (These tend to be shield volcanoes, so named for their relatively flat, broad profile. The Hawaiian Islands continue to be formed by this type of volcano.) It takes temperatures that are tens of thousands of degrees hotter than that to split uranium’s atomic nuclei and alter its radioactivity to make it inert, Rowe says. What you need is a thermonuclear reaction, like an atomic bomb—not a great way to dispose of nuclear waste.

Volcanoes aren’t hot enough to melt the zirconium (melting point 3,371˚) that encases the fuel, let alone the fuel itself: The melting point of uranium oxide, the fuel used at most nuclear power plants, is 5,189˚. The liquid lava in a shield volcano pushes upward, so the rods probably wouldn’t even sink very deep, Rowe says. They wouldn’t sink at all in a stratovolcano, the most explosive type, exemplified by Washington’s Mount St. Helens. Instead, the waste would just sit on top of the volcano’s hard lava dome—at least until the pressure from upsurging magma became so great that the dome cracked and the volcano erupted. And that’s the real problem.

A regular lava flow is hazardous enough, but the lava pouring out of a volcano used as a nuclear storage facility would be extremely radioactive. Eventually it would harden, turning that mountain’s slopes into a nuclear wasteland for decades to come. And the danger would extend much farther. “All volcanoes do is spew stuff upward,” Rowe says. “During a big eruption, ash and gas can shoot six miles into the air and afterward circle the globe several times. We’d all be in serious trouble.”

No. It's not a crime. Manning committed the crime. Then he blabbed about it and is getting what he deserves.

Not until he hangs will Manning 'get what he deserves'. But I doubt we have the balls to hang traitors anymore.

Assange's crime is taking those classified documents as well as classified diplomatic cables and making them available to a wider audience, including America's enemies. Corporate espionage and the rest is another matter and another set of crimes.

Uncovering secrets is what real journalism is all about.

The American mainstream libmedia gave up journalism long ago. Now the useful idiots just carry water for taxocrats and the left.

What's going on here is pure fucking evil perpetrated by the incestuous marriage of business and politics.

Which has been going on since the beginning of human history. And really, how much of THE TRUTH changes things? It was known well before Tim Geithner was made Secretary of the Treasury he was a m0therfcking TAX CHEAT. Did anyone care? Apparently not.

When it comes to shining a light on the truth that none of you fucks are free, the cables, the collateral murder video and all the rest is nothing compared to the reaction to them, by business and politics.

It's the people screaming "You are not free" who have even more tyrannical plans for the human race. There's nothing more common than "revolutionaries" adopting the same tactics and principles of the "oppressors" they overthrow. And so: yawn.

It used to be common sense that to maintain freedom and order, things like military operational readiness, technology and war plans and even diplomatic secrets should be hidden from the prying eyes of our enemies. I'm sure the Germans wished for American "transparency" about D-Day and the Japanese (Happy December 7th!) about our atom bomb programs.

For attacking the USA the wikiclown should be considered fair game. He claims to be an "anarchist" so I'm sure he'll enjoy his fate.

It's just too easy for the government to say something is classified in order to hide it from the public. This is supposed to be a "representational" government not a secret one.

And yet common sense informs us that in order to maintain freedom and order, things like military operational readiness, technology and war plans should be classified. I'm sure the Germans wished for American "transparency" about D-Day and the Japanese (Happy December 7th!) about our atom bomb programs.

Also treason only pertains to citizens of that country. Assange is Australian, right?

For damaging American national security, Assange should be treated as a foreign enemy and assassinated, just like a bin laden.

Maybe we should round up 79 year old Daniel Ellsberg and hang him in Time Square for high treason?

Ellsberg was/is a traitor, but at least he was prepared to endure his fate, whatever it may have been.

Las Vegas, Nev. used the nuclear tests as a tourist attraction. They even had there own superhero, Miss Atomic Bomb.

Not really Japanese gun film, but US film made over Japan. This would be the summer of 1945, after Okinawa was finished, and the USAAF (US Army Air Force) would be sending fighter missions over Japan looking for targets of opportunity - whatever looked like it could help resist the coming invasion of Japan. SO trains, boats, ships, planes, just about any vehicle and factories. At this point, the atomic bomb was unknown, and they were preparing an invasion that would cause an estimated 1 million US casualties and 10 million Japanese. SO anything they could destroy now was something they wouldn't have to destroy later. And the Japanese were preparing to use everything they had, including women and children, to repel the attack.
