The lesser of two evils - what will the West choose ?

[bipolarbear]

It would still knock em down a peg. Really, the Vatican would just be so we could have mor HD footage of a nuke going off. Israel is the headlining act.

Your've gotta give aneeshm his dues.

I've never known anyone here who has such a proliferation of threads all about the same general topic.

How about we just nuke Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, the Vatican, and the Ganges River and just be done with it all before it gets out of hand?

Nobody wants to be forced to nuke any place , it is just a threat we are using , telling the terrorists that if they nuke what is precious to us ( our people ) , then we nuke what is precious to them ( their holy places ) . It's a rather old concept called "mutual deterrence" . Heard of it before ?

I know a couple Indians who used to be knee-jerk anti-Muslim. They were the ones seriously espousing "lol all muslims are bad people LOL", just like you.

While travelling in India, one in their group was killed by a Hindu fanatic for "colluding" with the Muslims by leaving India.

They aren't so anti-Muslim now as they are anti-Religion.

That's funny . Which outfit was it precisely which murdered that guy ? Because I've come across a lot of fundie Hindus , and no fundie movement fits that profile . It is completely inconceivable that an Indian kill another Indian for leaving India , specially if it was a religious killing like this one . I'm willing to wager you're either making that up , or are not revealing the full facts of the case .


And you fall into the old , old fallacy - I am not anti-Muslim , I am against what currently is defined as Islam . But that is irrelevant to this thread . What is relevant is that in a hypothetical scenario involving only two options - either deportation of a religious group , or facing nuke attacks on your cities - which would you choose ?

[aneeshm]

And yes - the results of the poll tell me everything I wanted to know .

[BeBMan]

No banana option - invalid poll (not to mention that it offers a wrong choice to begin with)

It's as assinine now as it was during the Cold War.

This poll is retarded.

[Kuciwalker]

and invalid

[DRoseDARs]

I'm trying to find the exact name for the fallacy demonstrated by this poll in my book for critical thinking class, but I need to go to bed. Needless to say ('cause it's already been said) but this poll is crap. Sorry my Hindu friend, better luck next time.

[Kuciwalker]

False dichotomy.

[chequita guevara]

I reject the premise.
