We are to be upset with a religious wacko loony here in the USA because his actions supposedly made religious wacko loonies elsewhere in the world upset enough to kill people?

So the wackos who uh, actually MURDERED someone, aren't to be discussed, but the simpleton who burned a book is?

Jeebus fracking cripes.

1. I've been away too (more or less) but that sounds par for the course.

3. Ah yes, I see.
Crazed religious nuts will kill innocent people because someone pissed them off.

Obviously the problem is that *we* aren't showing *them* enough respect. Makes perfect sense!

6. But DU is all about black-or-white thinking.
EITHER you support people's right to use unregulated supplements and promote their use in lieu of actual medical care, OR you are a big pharma shill.

Don't need to tell you which bucket I fall into!

9. Does it surprise you?
DU didn't change much in the days you were away.
