    I do and also through atheism and politics. It's my firm belief that religion or politics (...or video games, television, etc) do not make people crazy. Crazy people are looking for an outlet to express their emotions and latch onto some to use as an excuse for their actions.

    We often hear about the religious nuts (yes, this includes people like the atheist/anarchist bridge plot) but rarely do we hear about the vast majority of people, be they theist or atheist, who are minding their own business and striving to make their way through life without bothering others.

    That's pretty sad. You accuse others of bias but cite a mere 3 radio hosts you hate - using biased sources - to "prove" bias is naughty.

    Yes, when someone has a set political viewpoint, it means they have a bias toward it by default. If you were expecting nonpartisan talk commentary from those people, you were sadly deluded. They aren't going to be any more unbiased than the political partisan biased sources you just used. Why the different expectation level there, and why just slam one side for bias? That's YOUR bias.

    "Hate"? What is that? A verboten emotion you claim is present? What kind of argument is that? Isn't arguing on emotion something women should be doing, not men?

    No, three talk radio guys you hate isn't proof of "right wing hate." That's called a hasty generalization fallacy.

    It's really interesting how nobody on the left accuses the many on the the left who whip up global white supremacy conspiracy theories as haters. But oh, 100 dead Muslims. Cripes!

    Btw, why quote David Duke celebrating Trump's win in your signature? Why did you choose to quote that and leave out Farrakhan celebrating Obama? Bias?

    Election years are not called "the silly season" for nothing.

    It seems off hand that the best course is to clean our own house of Christians who could post about killing a 100 millions men women and children and I suggest hanging them would be the prefer means of doing so.

    No more holocausts be the victims Muslims or Jewish or whoever.

    The good news is that nutjobs who believe in genocide or mass murder are not in charge of our military forces.

    Do you think the President can just get up one day and say "**** it! Let's launch'em all!"?

    The election in Alabama will tell us whether Google and Amazon (the two most white male supremacy companies on earth for which minorities need-not-apply) and other super rich and their corporations have totally taken over the American government by total ownership of the press and media.

    I hope you're joking, dude. Yes, technology has changed, but human nature is not. Teddy Kennedy was a drunk who accidentally killed a woman, JFK screwed around on Jackie, Bill Clinton was an adulterous sexual predator and Roger Moore is just a sexual predator with a liking for teens.

    Max, let's say we all claim Roy Moore is guilty. The man is married, to a woman that seems very very nice and she endures these claims along with his children, why think he would today do things alleged to have been done by him 40 years ago? We know that a 20 something that commits crimes is less inclined to do the same crimes as he ages. The crime rate for the elderly is very very low.

    Yes he can indeed do so as due to the time restrains of replying to a nuclear attrack there is zero check and balance on the president power/orders in relationship to nuclear weapons use.

    Congress just had some hearings on the matter but as of now there is once more zero check and balance on his power to used nuclear weapons.

    Oh that state of affairs had been ongoing since Eisenhower days.

    Please feel free to look the subject up for yourself.

    Please feel free to live in fear that Trump will start WWIII if Moore loses the election.

    While I tend to agree that people do change, the women he abused would still like to see some justice even if it's just an apology.

    BTW, my understanding is that the events reported so far were when he was in his 30s. Still, as you pointed out, that was almost four decades ago.

    Trump isn't rapping the lyric, "I got nothin' to live for but a lot to die from."

    Were Hillary and Chelsea victims when women accused Bill of being a sexual predator and a rapist?

    There's a differential there in that Bill Clinton started out young in Little Rock and never quit being a sex abuser. If Moore did what the allegations attest, he stopped.

    When did he stop...if ever? All we know is from the five who've stepped forward. While it's possible they are the only ones, I doubt it. It's also possible he stopped when he married....but that didn't stop Bill nor most sexual predators.

    Funny how so many condemn Billy Jeff but ignore the fact that Newt Gingrich was worse even though he claimed to be a born again Christian.

    Of course they were. In Hillary's case, she blamed some mysterious conspiracy.
