The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    All out war on Islam

    Now is the time to prosecute an all out war on radical fundamentalist Islam and all violent religious irrationality. The world would be far more peaceful, and the average IQ would increase. (There are no Muslim countries in the top 40 IQ nations in the world.)

    -- rwruger

    I know! We can start by identifying all Muslims. Hmmm, maybe they could wear an armband or something, maybe a green one, with a crescent? Yeah, that's the ticket. Then, we can start rounding them up and shipping them off to camps where they won't be able to infect the rest of us with their deviant ways. Really, it's for the world's good and it will all be done scientifically and neatly. Once the world is rid of the Muslim filth, we can all bask in the fact that the world is cleaner, safer and smarter! Yeay, us!

    You have such interesting ideas, rwruger. But somehow, they seem vaguely familiar... Can't quite figure out what they remind me of... If it comes to me, I'll let you know.
