Tevatron is shutting down today.

[Ben Kenobi]

Much like how you've repeatedly called for the prosecution of pedophile priests?

I have indeed called for the prosecution of pedophiles, irrespective as to whether they are, or are not, priests.

You, on the other hand, seem to care about the frock.

You have said previously that priests should not be subject to secular law

[Ben Kenobi]

loinburger didn't even mention 9/11. This is probably your most transparent strawman argument yet.

Islamic terrorism over the last few centuries doesn't include 9-11?

Again, the fact that you don't see the singing nuns flying a 747 into the world trade centre is evidence that they are not similar to one another.

I also love your whole argument in this thread. Obama is a meanie who spends too much money! Oh, and Obama is a meanie because he doesn't spend enough money on this one thing I've now randomly decided to care about!

Actually my argument is that Obama, the educated, clean and articulate black man has done absolutely nothing to support scientific endeavours despite spending trillions over budget. Maybe that's because he really doesn't care about science.

If we're going to go into debt, at least we can have moon bases.

Which is not the same as saying that they should not be prosecuted, is it? You and I disagree on the jurisdiction. You believe that priests should be tried in secular courts and that people who are not priests should not be tried at all, whereas I believe that priests should not be tried in secular courts, but everyone else should.

So Islamic terrorists should be tried in Islamic courts?

So Islamic terrorists should be tried in Islamic courts?

I'm not sure how you get from the argument that Priests are different from laypeople, to saying that no distinction should be made. Although given their treatment at Gitmo, being an islamic terrorist is a get out of jail free card.

Protip, if you're going to kill someone in America and are a minority, make sure you shout allahu ackbar!

[giblets]

So Islamic terrorists should be tried in Islamic courts?

Yeah, if an imam blows something up they should be tried under sharia law or something.

Not enough torture for your taste?

[Ben Kenobi]

Not enough torture for your taste?

Cuban beaches vs Mogadishu?

So glad I posted about the Tevatron before BK hijacked this thread.

I would love a chance to visit an alternative universe where Obama had funded the space shuttle in the middle of the economic meltdown, just to see how Kenobi would twist that to suit his "anything he does is wrong" agenda. It's really just boring and predictable now.

Oh well, at least we've managed to change the topic to pedophile priests and terrorists.

Five star thread now.

Actually, the space shuttle should have been closed down way before it did. It was a waste of money that could have been used better otherways in space.

Waiting for BK to hijack thread yet again.

[BlackCat]

It could be fun to hear BK telling about all those splendid scientific endavours that Bushy was the great mind behind. Just one thing - introducing ID and like in public and higher educations doesn't count.

[Pax]

Out of curiousity, BK how much the you think, care, keep up with the Tevatron before it got shutdown and became something you could blame on President Obama?
