I know "brain surgery" has gotten a major mystique around it. It even has cute sayings about it, related to intelligence, But, the reality is that it is mostly a motor muscle skill, not unlike plumbing and electrical wiring. You can study it, focus on that one skill, and be adept at moving your fingers just right in a small cavity; and still have not a whole lot of smarts when it comes to things like ancient history, and current foreign policy. I would think that spending most of your career in such a specific, narrow field of study might be detrimental to knowing a whole lot about the real world. But, of course, I'm not a brain surgeon...

No, don't be parnoid. I was being thorough. My broad anti-religious views are well known to be fair and blanced. If there was any guilt, it was over the inadvertent though obvious omission. In this country, Christians are certainly more of a nuisance and a pain in the arse than Muslims, though I will take that over suicide bombings any day. Why don't you let uncle Bill explain it to you?


Me, "...Parnoid..."? I suppose you meant paranoid. No, I was simply giggling at your "...paranoia..." when you realized your correct, critical thinking made you a target. I presume it's safer to find a Christian and belittle him about your hate of organized religion than a muslim on the same street corner. What would you do in that instance? Would you treat the Christian and Syrian refugee with that same "fair and ?blanced?" tongue lashing? Or is it safer to stick with the Christian for whining's sake...

I can see how Christians would be a bigger pain in your arse than muslims. Muslims seem to favor the throat.

Incidentially, I don't think I have an Uncle Bill???

Articles in today's paper and online describe how Mr. Hammer Time McStabby's advisors cannot get him to understand basic foreign policy despite spending forty percent of his time in recent weeks in foreign policy briefings.

Hammertime McStabby....that's quite descriptive

Absolutely I would have more to fear ridiculing Muslims than Xians. That's the main thrust of the discussion. I'm glad you caught on. That speaks positively of the Christian religion and negatively of Islam. You should feel good about that if you happen to be a Christian.

I plagiarized it.

The extreme right of both religions will gladly kill you.

Then maybe I should stop speaking so positively about Christianity??
