Exactly.
Who do you like best though, Toz?

If I had to pick one I'd say Hillary, or maybe Sanders.

I dunno, I think Trump is actually the best of all of them.

The racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted prick who wants to ban Muslims from the US? THAT'S who you pick? What the hell do you see in him?

He says many of the things that others, including myself, think, but he doesn't get scared because it's not 'politically correct'. Now, there's also a difference between banning Muslims and banning terrorists. It seems that there's been a lot of terrorist attacks, shootings, and the like from Muslims. One thing you must remember is the fact that the Koran actually says to kill in the name of religion. Thus, those that don't are actually going against their religion.

I can see several things wrong with that statement (the Crusades, the Islamic Empire in the middle ages (more peaceful and Advanced than the Christian countries of the time), the fact that most Muslims are peace-loving, the fact that the Bible says that in places too, etc.), but I don't want to start a culture war, so I'll leave off with this: remember Alaine from 3WSR? Nice lady that helps STH, briefly possessed by Hivemind? I've always imagined her being Muslim. Way to alienate one-fourth of the population.
Let's move on to some less controversial topics...

You've got a good point, Toz, but let me tak on that I'm not Catholic, and I'm not against Muslims, I'm against religious crazies. Yes, even Christian extremists.

Yes, I agree with Toz; as a rule, we really shouldn't discuss religion or politics here, given that it is a very sensitive topic, and I really don't want our community to break up over a political discussion
(Discussing them in a historical context, however, I think could be ok)

In other news, North Korea fired an unannounced rocket to launch a "satellite" into space, but sometime strange is wrong with it and even China called the out... Also they used a rocket with the power of an ICBM so this is definitely not fishy at all...

Well, I live in the Puget Sound area, which is a prime nuclear target from Asia, so crap.
