What is becoming of our kids?

[Iakchos Kadmos]

Same problem happening in Greece. It is like all children are wanting to do is play spin the goat and drink Ouzo. They spend their monies on the newest V-Span shoes. Who has 2 euros to spend on shoes?! That can to buy food for a month!

They are lack the respect.

You fact check that article by looking at the URL and noticing that it's BillionBibles.org.

Are you saying that nothing in that article is true? And you can tell that by looking at the URL and because it has "bibles" in it, everything in the article can be dismissed?

Holy mother you repugs are some dumb mother ers. Just like Donny likes'em too.

I think they should be allowed to play spin the goat.

I would never even bother to fact check an article on a site called BillionBibles.org.

The site is proclaiming their bias from the get-go. Next time try to find sites that at least attempt to say they're objective.

That's sounds as blind as me picking up an article from NationalReport.net.

Who are being biased? Ignoring the content for the name of the source. Sounds like nobody wants to know the TRUTH - isn't that what we're after - not just dismissing because of the name of the source?

[Quetzal-X]

On your ty bible link it says Mohammad killed k's but Jesus God killed zero. Why do you link such ty sites?

Who do you think runs "billionbibles.org"? I'm not certain, but I bet I can guess correctly.

Sharia law is spreading almost unopposed in the former pro-Hitler nations, where lingering guilt over the Jewish holocaust now protects Sharia, seen as the law of another religious minority. Sharia courts presided by Muslim "peace judges" now dot Germany, where even non-Muslim German judges in German courts cite Sharia law and quote from the Quran to uphold polygamy and husbands' right to beat wives when judging cases involving Muslims.

Muslim Street PrayerIn Austria, the government is convicting even non-Muslims of violating Sharia law. In 2011, Vienna High Court upheld the lower court conviction of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff for making this factual statement about Muhammad:

"We all know that Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6 years old and consummated the marriage when she was 9. Now, what do we call this behavior if not pedophilia."

In France, home to 13 million Muslims, the government no longer controls the banlieus (right, below is Venice, Italy), the densely-populated, predominantly Muslim ghettos that encircle most major French cities and where the French police seldom patrol. If that were to change, the Muslim population among France's prison inmates would rise even higher than the current 70%. All meat sold in Paris is now Halal, having been sacrificed to Allah the moon god.

In Denmark, Muslims are calling for areas with large Muslim populations like Copenhagen's Tingbjerg to become Sharia law zones patrolled by Muslim religious police modeled after Saudi Arabia's muttawa to apprehend and punish all Sharia law violators.

Such Muslim police already exists in Spain, where Sharia courts now threaten women for driving cars or working outside the home. Recently, a woman accused of adultery was sentenced to death by a Sharia court and escaped it by seeking refuge in a government police station.

In Holland, where "Muhammad" is now the most common name for boys born in its four largest cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht), death sentences against Sharia law-breakers actually have been carried out. High profile victims include Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh, both killed for criticizing the self-proclaimed "Religion of Peace".


And right here in the good ole USA:

<NationalReport>In a surprise weekend vote, the city council of Dearborn, Michigan voted 4-3 to became the first US city to officially implement all aspects of Sharia Law. The tough new law, slated to go into effect January 1st, addresses secular law including crime, politics and economics as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, fasting, prayer, diet and hygiene. The new law could see citizens stoned for adultery or having a limb amputated for theft. Lesser offenses, such as drinking alcohol or abortion, could result in flogging and/or caning. In addition, the law imposes harsh laws with regards to women and allows for child marriage.

Some in town seem to welcome the new legislation while others have denounced the move as “abhorrent”, a threat to freedom and incompatible with the Cons ution. When asked by National Report about the need for such a law, local resident Jeremy Ahmed stated:

“It is because of our need that Allah the Almighty, in all his generosity, has created laws for us, so that we can utilize them to obtain justice. We hope to see other cities taking this action in the face of the governments inaction of passing such legislation”.

Other local residents have taken to social media sites with comments ranging from “praise be to Allah” and “long live Islam” to “RIP Dearborn” and “Only in Obama’s America would an American city consider Sharia Law”.
The city of Dearborn is a well-known safe haven for Muslims and Muslim sympathizers. With a population of around 98 thousand people, roughly 30% of its residence are Muslims making them the largest concentration of Muslims in the United States.

The dangers of Sharia Law in America were first outlined in a 2010 study produced by the Center for Security Policy (CSP) led “Sharia: The Threat to America“, a 352-page book based on authoritative sources of Islamic law. While sharia includes strict rules for prayer and fasting, it is also an all-encompassing legal and political code that covers all aspects of life including those that have nothing to do with religion.

meh. More manufactured outrage and xenophobia.

"City in Michigan First to Fully Implement Sharia Law" — Is there any validity to this story?
Origins: On 28 October 2013, the National Report published an article positing Dearborn, Michigan (a city with a historically large Muslim population), had become the first U.S. city to implement Sharia law:

FALSE

The National Report's disclaimer page notes:

National Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fic ious ways. All news articles contained within National Report are fiction, and presumably fake news. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental.

Do you always base your understanding of the world based on satire? or did you just not bother fact checking this one time?

So, do you dismiss the (presidential) FOX poll I linked to in the other thread BECAUSE it's FOX? If I did that with left-wing media sources, there'd hardly be any news to read.

One should never simply dismiss something as false, merely because the source is biased. But one should definitely subject biased sources to a wee bit more scrutiny when it comes to assertions.

(edit)

Unless, of course it is presented as "fake news" satire. In that case you can dismiss it.

"We all know that Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6 years old and consummated the marriage when she was 9. Now, what do we call this behavior if not pedophilia."

But Sabaditsch-Wolff was convicted of the second charge against her, namely "denigration of religious beliefs of a legally recognized religion," according to Section 188 of the Austrian Criminal Code.

The judge ruled that Sabaditsch-Wolff committed a crime by stating in her seminars about Islam that the Islamic prophet Mohammed was a pedophile (Sabaditsch-Wolff's actual words were "Mohammed had a thing for little girls.")

Easy fail. The law was not "sharia" but a long-standing one that was meant to curb antisemitism.

I take most all polls with a grain of salt because they're polls.

Do you understand the difference between a poll and a news story?

Yes, I understand the difference. I was hopping between threads and one of the posts on the other thread was on Bernie leading Trump.

I think Gallup is not doing any presidential polls because they messed up the last one. But some so called new stories are bs too like the Politico one on Carson which the left wing media take and run with and when Politico back-tracks, the other outlets don't correct the mis-information. It's getting to the point that whenever I hear some sensational story about Trump or Carson that seems should doom them for good, it turns out to be a mis-quote, non-quote, twisted, or out of context. And it seems to only pump up Trump's numbers in the polls (yes, I know, only polls :-)

All pollsters are complaining about the lack of response from the polled, used to be 35%, now down to 10%, so polling results very unreliable.

I think they should be allowed to play spin the goat.

What is spin the goat?

Great you should ask my friend. Spin the goat is when you take goat and place on it is side. You spin and if it stares at you when it is come to stop you have the intercourse with it.

So let's not have them play this game.

But for practical purposes and for the enlightenment of the board in general:

Does one spin the goat on the ground or on, let's say, a slick dance floor? Just thinking friction brings the goat to a fairly quick halt. I would want a goat doing a spin similar to The Wheel Of Fortune (for dramas sake) but not vertical of course.

[pgardn]

Wrong as in the game is wrong?

Or you know more about goat spinning?
