If Jesus really was a Jew he wouldn't have thrown Money Changers out of the Temple. He was obviously a Roman Centurion or a Germanic Barbarian. :p

YOU LIE!
How do you know that he wasn't just pissed at not getting a good exchange rate? Or a Roman plant.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

The fact that it was a normal 9mm round might have helped too. Larger caliber and/or different ammunition like hollow-point or Glaser and we'd be hearing a national eulogy.

No clue but I do find it amusing. Hitler says Jews are taking over the government because look there are a bunch of them in it. Of course he and obviously Germany itself had amnesia since it was Otto von Bismarck who brought them into office in hopes of integrating them and ending Antisemitism. Oh Germany you silly little land.

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

Of course not. The rise in violence is an allergic reaction to a black man in the White House ordering coffee instead of serving it.
