Wow that is a good mix. Great use of RATATATATATAT (I never know when to stop).


Thanks for turning me on to this band Farhad! The progressions are a bit repetitive, but it's very fair listening.

I'm asking anyone who questions the USA's action: do you think your armed forces exist to harm you... or to protect you?
The armed forces exist to protect US interests. This doesn't mean that they always do that in effect. It also does not mean that they are making me safer.


As I said in my original post, lesserfool, the US is at war with people who don't wear a uniform. They are unidentifiable.

The conception of "war" must change. We aren't in WWI trenches with bayonets here, we're dealing with anonymous individuals operating in frequently independent cells. At times, extraordinary measures must be taken in order to gather information from detainees. Logically, it may be worth the risk to harm an innocent man than to permit the death of dozens of innocents.

Undoubtedly, some sadists have been put into circumstances when they have abused their authority, and they are not without accountability. Martial law is usually more severe than civilian.

Soldiers and those who have chosen a military volition are willing to sacrifice their lives for their country and for you. I return to my original question: do you trust that your military force is working for you, or against you?

What do forays into mathematics have to do with a cultural or religious rebirth? And what does religion have to do with science?

Does Islam take the merit for those contributions? If so, shall we attribute all scientific endeavour to the faith of the explorer?

Please ask yourself this last question in earnest.

It seems you may need to "think" about my words (and your own) longer, thinker247.
