Alright, this thread has been cleaned out of it's pointless bickering and is going to be unlocked.
Anymore arguments that start here will be dealt with a warning penalty to the participants. If you have comments or concerns, post here. If you want to start shit, go elsewhere.
You are a bit too eager to try out your moderating tools, and need a bit more experience in dealing with issues.
Considering the entire staff was annoyed with the arguing, there were no complaints about giving warnings, and I was actually told to lock the thread and remove the comments...
You can take your complaints somewhere else, please and thank you.

What a scrub lel

OT: the pic in the OP is outdated. I've played 35 more hours of stuff since that pic.
So you've played 105 hours...is that something to be proud of? Divide that by 24hrs, and that's 4.375 days of play time. Game has roughly been out for 35 days, and you've played for almost four and a half of them. Do you literally do nothing else but game every waking minute of your free time?
Based on those mathematical figures, I'd say he has been doing other things for 30.735 days.
He's projecting.

My comments and concerns went to Psy, but thanks anyway. You are a bit too eager to try out your moderating tools, and need a bit more experience in dealing with issues.

She's just really lame. Couldn't give less of a shit about her.
She gets way too much attention from both sides of the spectrum.

Just so you know, I was the one that argued for you and Byrne's case.

Likewise, blaming Islam for the Taliban is like blaming Catholicism for the IRA.
Except the Taliban quite explicitly identifies as Muslim. In the same way ISIS identifies as a caliphate-founding organisation - hence the name.
Yet the Taliban does plenty of shit that Islam prohibits: drugs, prostitution, gambling, etc.
You're welcome to call it a "glorified mafia ring" if that'll make you feel better, but they are just as pick and choosy with what they want to follow as Catholic extremists are.
They have to be picky and choosy. Trying to literally follow scripture absolutely will turn you into a straight-up hypocrite. The problem is that such fundamentals exist to be latched onto in the first place, and doesn't diminish the fact that their beliefs are primarily motivated by their religion.
You'll never find a fundamentalist Jain who murders people for his religion.
I see the two of you are not going to convince me otherwise, nor will I convince you.
It's just a discussion. Nobody should feel obligated to convince or get convinced. I do think you don't take the problem of religion being a major influence on this type of stuff seriously enough, though.

That's a different story.
Killing a kid for no reason is always bad. Hell, even to save 300 people it's bad. Necessary, but bad.
You fall into a games of semantics there. Sure, it's bad, but it certainly isn't immoral. It's not so bad as to be absolutely condemned on principle.
Let me just say this: I think it's bad to kill an innocent (especially a child) even if it's necessary. But, if it has to be done, it has to be done. Let's not derail the thread, though.

Life begins at conception. To kill a pregnant woman who has thus far decided to keep the baby is, as far as it matters, ending two lives.
Then those two things are in conflict. If life begins at conception, we shouldn't have abortions.
That's not true. There's nothing inherently wrong with ending an innocent life.
Oh fuck off Meta. Killing a kid is bad and you know it. Stop playing.
Killing a kid for no reason whatsoever is bad, obviously. If I killed a kid to save 300 other kids, however, it'd be unfortunate but not bad. Moral judgments are always based on circumstance and consequence, not anything inherent.

Depending how far along the pregnancy is, it should count as a double homicide because it's killing two people.
I'm not sure what you're so confused about.
If she's within the legal window for an abortion, should it still be a double homicide?
Uh, technically no. But imagine how fucked up it would be for your wife and future baby getting killed.

That's the thing though, this shit is going on in 2014. It's embarrassing to the human race.
And? Less developed regions of the world are going to be slower at hitting this reformations/revolutions/whatever you want to call them than areas like Europe/America/etc.
Everything ties together. Wealth and prosperity of a nation, religious beliefs, political strife, social conditions, historical problems.
Yet Islamic nations are some of the only nations with this problem.
Not quite. It's the most noticeable because it's spread over such a vast region - from Morocco to Pakistan, but plenty of other nations are having their own problems.
Sri Lanka, recently, had it's civil war over ethnic problems and is still facing tensions. There's still plenty of ethnic problems in sub-Saharan Africa, along with political corruption, strife, and borderline genocide in places. Latin America is also facing problems, again - not religious.
There are dozens of countries facing problems with extremists - they just aren't all Islamic. Hell, even Eastern Europe is still having growing pains following the Soviet Union dismantling twenty years ago.
Less developed countries, countries that have been marginalized, ignored, or used negatively - they ARE going to be slower at having these changes. Of course, that doesn't show why Euro Muslims are so odd, but it helps display the constant problems in countries like Pakistan.
Again, none of it is because of religion.
And what part of

didn't translate that you cannot solely blame religion?
Religion is one of the leading causes for all the trouble in the Middle East. Fact.

I know... I just said that.
Emphasizing the "ONE" portion of it - whereas this thread makes it seem like it's the only and biggest issue.
Likewise, blaming Islam for the Taliban is like blaming Catholicism for the IRA.
It is the biggest issue. I do blame Catholicism for the IRA - to an extent. IRA was a little more political.

Some shitty ass police work I'll tell you.
I still think they could've sniped him.
They didn't do it because it had an extremely low potential success rate.
It's fucked up what happened. They should've mobbed the guy in there. The hostages, I mean. There's always a moment where he's distracted enough.
There was only one guy? I haven't been following the situation that closely
Yup. Some crazy Sunni Iranian.

Mob mentality. The common emotion spreads. Fear. Fear is overpowering for one singular person. But put folks in a room and it's amplified. It would take a person with charisma to overpower that mood and fight. Even more, to get others to fight.
But, police are like that. They don't snipe. They're not trained for it. The center of mass is the way to go. Specialists snipe. But when odds are poor, odds are poor.
They tried. And unfortunately not everybody made it out. But it could have been worse. Always.
I'm honestly surprised they weren't able to take him out fast enough. I guess the angles were all fucked up. He was holed in there pretty good.

Understatement of the eon.
