    Actually those suicide bombers are dying because a political party in Iraq is losing power and they are just doing everything they can to screw things up. Reminds me of a political party in the US.

  4. No, we don't agree.

    Those with a predisposition to mass murder become mass murderers, and they are found to practice nearly every religion and non religion, and they all justifiy their actions for a variety of reasons.

    Don't you ever tire of fallacious arguments?

  5. Correct. But those looking for red flags in order to recognize and counteract these killers before they strike, will find conversion to Islam is a material warning sign.

    Can you believe that I couldn't find a five dollar word in my thesaurus for endless? In the English language? There's gotta be one.

    That was gonna be a sweet post, saying "never ending" in some 8 syllable word that's rarely used.

    Dang. English rarely lets me down like this, seems like there's always a perfect word with just the nuance one wants. But then I never looked for one to . . . err. . . (OK, here's exactly what I mean, here's the perfect word, no thesaurus needed) obfuscate my meaning before. Usually, I'm all about communication.

    What a great word, obfuscate. I can see somebody asking "WTF does obfuscate mean?" And somebody else saying "Yeah, that's pretty much what it means." Kinda like Who's on First. But I'd stay away from any fallaciousness, unless you want the vice squad coming by. :D :D :D

    And it's clearly time to sign off.

  7. You counteract "killers" with better intelligence agencies and police departments, education of people, and prosperity worldwide for people who are oppressed.

    You cease engaging in imperalistic efforts and starting pre-emptive wars that have no direct connection to national security or terrorism.

    Additionally, having a foreign policy that is fair, and treats Israel with objecitivy, rather than a look the other way policy would help tremendously.

    I don't expect you to be objective where Israel is involved, but if you were you would see that they are hardly blameless in this process.

    Hey! There it is, the one I was trying to think of: indefatigable

    Plus two I don't even know, amaranthine and perdurable. I didn't even know amaranth was a color. Red, that figures.

    Whoops, I knew what perdurable meant after all. Permanent durability, a waste of a word.

    Had to come back with this link to a video of Who's on first.

  10. For sects and groups, perhaps.

    For religions Islam leads the way with flying colors.
