| "The holy book Qur'an does not mention anywhere about the execution or killing of human beings on the basis of their sexuality. They may have picked it up from Leviticus 20:13, since they consider Moses to be a prophet just as Mohammed was. "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both... |

| Firearms may be the most popular homicide weapon in Canada (34%), but the second most popular is not sharp objects(28%), it is hands, and the occasional foot (30%). So before you get around to knives, do remember to get all those hands and feet out of circulation. |

| Okay fine, here's one off the top of my head. If you're filling up a bucket of water from your hose, will it fill up more quickly if you leave the hose lying in the bottom of the bucket or if you hold it out of the water, or will it make no difference? Or, if you want a more applicable scenario, sa... |

Well, my expectations for establishing your existence would have to be a bit different, since you're not said to be omnipresent. Were you omnipresent, I'd just look around the room and there you'd be, case closed. |

| I'm kind of neutral on Chavez. His willingness to stick up for the destitute indigenous people of his country is admirable, as is his nerve in being willing to stand up to much larger states, even as they are tossing around millions of dollars to try to depose him. On the other hand, he has quoted s... |

| Statistically, of women who were subject to attempted rapes which failed, 70% physically resisted. I don't have any figures for those who were raped -- I assume that a smaller percentage resisted, but don't have any concrete stats to back that up. The women who are killed by rapists are under 1%, bu... |

I can't help to think that the Islamic council didn't pass up an oportunity to get rid of an idiot and show their independence and moderation by giving the guy the boot.
