Bill Maher Stands By Mohammed Remarks
>> ^Jinx:
Man, that Sharia Law bullshit keeps getting referenced without people really knowing the facts. Research it please, and that means going further than the Daily Mail I'm afraid.
Ok, lets get some actual stats up in this.
Christian - 41,000,000 - 71%
Muslim - 1,600,000 - 3%
No Religion - 8,500,000 - 15%
Why is Mohammed the most popular name? Probably because it accounts for a very large percentage of those 1.6 million. The rest of us Brits make names up, steal names from other cultures and generally aren't naming our kids as traditionally. Consequently no one name trumps Mohammed. So is Maher racist for his remarks? No, just horrible misinformed. I expected better.
Oh, and of those 71% Christians I expect the vast majority are basically agnostic or deist. As for seperation of Church and State...well it might be in your constitution but I think we do it more justice. Some irony huh.
I'm amazed that someone as informed as Maher would make such a stupid mistake in logic and such ridiculous remarks. There is no threat of a Muslim majority rising up in any EU nation. Yes their birthrates are higher than the national average but it has been decreasing as more Muslims get assimilated into society.
Sadly a lot of Europeans share the same ridiculous ideas as Maher and this has led to an alarming rise in fear and bad sentiment towards Muslims.

"There is no Europewide data available, but one study says fertility rates among Turkish-born women in the Netherlands fell from 3.2 in 1990 to 1.9 in 2005, barely above the figure for native-born Dutch."

This is Dutch. The guy is talking so stupid because he is trying to imitate some idiot from our version of Jersey Shore.
Paratroop drop gone wrong. Hundreds of troopers in trees.
Why do paratroopers still use round parachutes and not the square ones which can be steered?

What crappy computer or server can't handle this game even when things go nuts?
A lot of computers have problems, especially netbooks. It's not coded really efficiently.

The Two Year Old Astrophysicist
There's the Chinese space program which might push America into another space race. And there is of course a good chance that commercial space flight will be developed when he grows up. Maybe he can pilot the next generation orbital Virgin Galactic craft.

He'll have to grow up fast if he wants to become an astronaut. ISS will be deorbited in 2020. And I don't really see anyone developing any kind of new manned space missions.
