so much of it has to do with trying to keep power; after all, you keep the women down, that's half the population right off the bat that people don't have to be concerned with.

That is the key right there. Most of the things done in the name of religion (by terrorist groups) have nothing to do with religious beliefs but with gaining and maintaining power. Perhaps this specific incident has nothing to do with religion or anything but an idiotic husband spurred on by a insane mother. But there are lots of places in that region where this kind of treatment of women is tolerated, often in the name of a religious law.

oh yeah, the use of religion is another way to hold power. helps explain why the church was so against the printing of the bible in a language that the peasants could understand. why, they might just read it and try to make sense of it themselves! can't have people thinking now! lol seriously, the teaching/belief in free will used to be heresy, a punishable offense. they also used to teach that you weren't supposed to try to rise above your station...that if god wanted you to be rich, he'd have had you born to a rich man. so....rulers used religion and vice versa. all to keep things on an even keel-for the rich and powerful of course.

This is rich. Righteous has gone from trying to mislead others about the content of articles to jumping to conclusions about boating accidents (and trying to politicize them) to presenting scientific proof that she is smarter than those who disagree with her.

Another huge internet amygdala speaks

You probably need to re-read my post or the article in question, DaTruth. It doesn't even mention intelligence. That's just something you made up. But don't mislead, or anything.

Sure, it's easy when you confuse your imaginary demons with reality And make up stuff about "intelligence", and things. Right?

Didn't we have slavery 160 years ago? Yeah? So what gives us the right to force our beliefs and values on other countries?

It's hypocritical. You can't save the world and you cannot change strangers.

I'm sick of the romanticism. Read a history book. We aren't the saviors of humanity.

According to the psychology today blog, "Liberals had more gray matter at least in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the brain that helps people cope with complexity." Also according to that blog, "The liberal party is generally more intellectual and the conservative party is more anti-intellectual."

Hey Riot, have you jumped to any more conclusions about bridge accidents?

Not like you just jumping to the wrong conclusion that "intellectual" means the same as "intelligence", above; or your other wrong conclusion that the article said having a big amygdala means one is less intelligent, which it did not in the least. The emotions mentioned were fear, anxiety or aggression.

Which one are you?

What do you have to say about jumping to conclusions, again?

LOL, Riot, you stumble on your own feet.

You were the one who first used the word "intelligence," not I.

I guess I'm lazy.

Aside from another in the extremely long list of Middle Eastern hate crimes against women, this is a pretty awesome thread.

That's what happens when you get "people that don't belong here" posting stuff that results in exposing the intolerance of the angry sub-tribe.

DaTruth makes up stuff that I didn't say, using that as an alleged example of me making stuff up (yeah, crazy, huh?)

Dell mocks those that dare not share his blanket dislike of all things Muslim - because mocking tolerance greater than his is a good thing in his oh-so-tolerant world.

Cannon gets angry that people that dare not share his political views post those other views here.

Whew. Yeah. They hate that.
